    probably the best lesson I ever seen in my many years of learning.

    Fantastic. Really grateful to have found this.

    Fantastic. Of course, the great difficulty is in seeing the chord shape changes/appropriate patterns of the moment & switching on the fly. That's what's hell for me.

    New to your channel, and I really appreciate your content. Understanding harmony can be tough, I know it was for me in the beginning...well , we never do stop learning, but being able to train your ear to hear all the different intervals is key to improvisation, I think you've stated before in one of your vids...It's hard to explain without getting theoretical. Knowing what to play over a chord comes right out of the chord alot of times. Ear training is key, I know it was for me. Learning the triads of all the intervals can really help , like you demonstrated in this video. That's what to really practice. I wish I would've studied intervals,triads all over the neck..instead of running scales all day when I was younger..lol

    I can't believe you had just called my signature chord progression "cheesy". I have spent years inventing that chord progression.

    this made me... uncomfortable, i wanna be able to do that i dont know how to get to that stage.
    i know caged, pentatonics/scales in major and minor (all patterns), im about to learn triads with their inversions and i know wich chords are in a key etc.

    Forward Motion by Hal Galper.... this book completly changed the way I improvise.... It's absolutely golden check it Levi it's your kind of thing... After I read that book, I started to listen to improvised solos in a very different way and I noticed that my favorite players, guitar, horn, keys whatever, where the ones that apply Forward Motion like Guthrie Govan...

    To do this I literally played route chord iichord over and over and so on for each chord number- then repeated this with every chord combination within the diatonic chords of the scale. It was arduous getting familiar hearing those intervals but what helped was hearing the minor major tonality which helped to narrow them down. I agree ear training is hard, though my approach was very long winded.

    Awesome. Very inspiring for me, I'm gonna play now. Also, what does that metal plate on your tele do? Does it have any functionality?

      no functionality - just shows my respect of Danny Gatton :)

    Thanks for the lesson on hearing and playing the chord changes. I just started doing it (which is probably how I found this video). Been playing through "Fly Me to the Moon." which is a 6,2,5,1,4,7,3. I strum through the changes, arpeggiate through them to find the melody. By doing this I can feel my way through the song and also see how the chords are linked into one harmony. Then I move to a different section of the neck and play 6,2,5,1,4,7,3. The cords are fingered differently but still connected. Chords really are mini scales :-) If you know the harmony, you know what to use for your improv.

    You have a better understanding of your own process than most guitar players and explain it well. I enjoy your videos and your books. In fact your Soloing School videos complement your Country Guitar Soloing Techniques and makes the book that much more valuable.

    A little constructive criticism: you're speaking in a nice, mellow voice and then injecting ferocious picking/plucking on a guitar that's volume is quite a bit too loud. I found myself playing with the volume throughout the entire video. And now I'm annoyed.

      Why?

    • @giabgr
      @giabgr 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sledgehammer to crack a walnut. I can see that you need to keep the amp sound of the mic but an sm58 would do the job fine.

    • @LeviClay
      @LeviClay  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      right... but I have a 7b set up for my podcasts... it sounds great... It has a built in pop reducing shield, and high pass filters. I don't see the issue.
      "WHAT IS THE SM7B BEST SUITED TO?
      The SM7B is a smooth and warm sounding microphone that is ideal for close-talk applications such as radio presenting and voiceovers for TV. It has also been widely used for vocals on numerous albums"
      "WHAT IS THE SM58 BEST SUITED TO?
      It’s an ideal choice for a professional vocal artist in any live performance setting. It is tuned to accentuate the warmth and clarity of lead and backing vocals. Even in extreme conditions, the SM58 is tailored to target the main sound source while minimizing background noise. It is also very popular with djs and presenters in clubs and in small and large live venues."
