A little about me:
Sean Daniel is a man. A man of simple needs and desires. And the one desire, no, the one NEED, that stands above all is to spread the challenges, joy and intellectual stimulus of music to people of Earth and beyond.
Born on the mean streets of upper middle class suburban Chicago, Sean learned the ways of the world through the dizzying heights of success to the lonesome depths of failure and emerged with the promise of a better tomorrow reflecting in his eyes and fiery passion in his belly.
He plays and teaches guitar on his TH-cam channel where he regularly releases original music and projects to the adulation of legions of fans, who often compare him to Chris Pratt and one time Ryan Reynolds. He’s currently in the market for a nice leather jacket.

Nice! Your advice is so good I think you should be the next Prime Minister here in the UK.

[@seandaniel23]

I'm available.

[@elijahchesterthomas5334]

Lol. We need him as next president here it the states 1st though.

[@lukesteverything627]

At last, an offer. Let's run away together, frolic in the hills and make beautiful Mule sick. We won't need guitars.

[@aerowise1321]

Dude. This is the best lesson ever! Seriously! You just opened a big box of crayons for a bunch of starving artist stranded on an isolated island in a tropical paradise. Now we can all have snocones! Of any imaginable flavour! Such a sweet lesson. Seriously dude. THANK YOU!

[@myownchannel247]

I’ve been doing the same thing with modes , someone was saying that they weren’t for improvising so I did it in spite of the lesson. Now I always have a fresh way to play notes and sequences I never would have thought of, I still mix it up with minor/ major pentatonic but have noticed that the best compliments I get are often when I think and improvise modally

[@transmissionggb2820]

This is something I have been trying to work out, whether to practice scales or not and after while doing it I felt it was robotic, so this is very handy.

[@surfrby8876]

You are a genius in you approach and teaching guitar, I love Rick but your the anti- Beato

[@russellcyr4867]

Anyone else notice something unusual about his speech pattern where sometimes he'll add an "uh" at the end of a word?

[@swaggercat]

Thanks for this one Sean.
This is a great way of looking at the fretboard and playing up and around the neck.

[@TheFeelButton]

Practice not, only know. Cheers Sean!

[@samraffertymusic]

Having a lot of fun not practicing my scales. Thanks! :)

[@TheTimeProphet]

This guitar would make a great coffee cup holder LOL.

[@seandaniel23]

It does it all!

[@jwilkinson341]

THanks Sean nice easy lesson

[@nicolelouw5814]

Nic Louw
Following you from Cape Town South Africa. You opened my guitar journey from a side street to freeway. Freaking awesome....loving it!!!

[@trusarmor4957]

ive watched this 20 times .. and yet another of my Light Bulb moment courtesy of you, Sean Daniels.
thanks man, oh tell the kids what light bulb is.

[@wetcat833]

I'm a new subscriber. Apart from you knowing your stuff, you crack me up. Thumbs up :)

[@riffwrath6236]

Almost correct , you forgot to incorporate the 3rd when shredding to get the feel of the the underlying chord being a major or minor chord.

[@deetee5156]

I’ve never really done scales maybe I should start now I’ve been playing for 3 1/2 years so just something that didn’t really interest me with this looks doable

[@martinarthur2597]

always learn from your lessons. Thank you so much

[@seandaniel23]

Happy to help!

[@trusarmor4957]

this may be off topic, but isnt the sound hole was in the middle for a reason?
wonder how it sounds live.

[@livantoinetteboisseaux]

Again, you explain things in the exact way that I learn. I appreciate the way you teach. Thank you !!!

[@johnpeeler2733]

Hey Sean, Another great video!!! I play by feel a lot and have never really learned to count. Because of that I have timing problems returning to the chord at the right time. Any suggestions?

[@Xirrious]

This is real rebellious stuff here Sean now I just need a steel horse and a loaded six string.

[@jcburger733]

Thank you for the latest lesson on why we should not practice scales (but know them). Very helpful!!!

[@ymaxdtitanvictor9589]

Wow

[@jackbandel]

What was the sale price? I’m seeing $899. Did I miss it?

[@drewdietz2115]

"3 notes per string" I like this instead of the usual note selection. (scale). thanks

[@ProfessorJM1]

Makes sense...I know, but choose not to practice good hygine...rather, incorporate parts of good hygine, when needed/when I feel it...usually a burning sensation. Haha, alright, I need to stop. Great mental-visual-auditory material. Good lesson, dawg.

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks for watching !

[@WilliamGriffith]

You are always entertaining, and almost always worth listening to.

[@lukesteverything627]

I've learned a lot. Now that I don't have to step on the scales I can eat chocolate. NICE!

[@aaronpetitti8186]

In context h#$* YEAH SWEET

[@MrBazda]

Nice one Sean, I dig that idea. And that guitar is spot on.

Thanks so much David!

Cool axe

[@JESL_TheOnlyOne]

You and Rick Beato/Sting are talking about the same things lately. The way I 'teach' is:
1. It All Depends
2. Same, but Different
3. Do It Again
Sting told Beato music is about surprise. Yes, but to surprise, you have to get to a minimum level of technique, and you have to have a decent ear.
Myself, I do try to structure my time to some degree and work on Stuff. But play songs and improvise - vocal lines, double stops, pentatonics, blues...
Say Something, which is what I mentioned to Beato. You're saying the same thing - we learn *How* so we can say what we're trying to say.
