this information about playing phrase endings on beat with respect to outlining phrase lengths has changed my musical life, now i feel like i am really playing music rather than just playing mindlessly on the guitar. Never i have encountered this information before anywhere. everybody just says "feel it" or try to phrase better rather than giving something to actually work on. Thanks a lot your books has immense value in my life. My musical reflexes are getting stronger :). If you ever feel like it please write a book on training reflexes for musical sounding guitar parts or about how you approach making music (all your guitar parts that you play on these videos sounds so fricking musical and memorable). Thank you from the bottom of my heart
@@BarrettTagliarino I know this sounds ridiculous but could you do a lesson on how to create a good weekly practice schedule? I tend to focus on one thing too long and don't know when to move on from it. I'm trying Keith Wyatt's 21 day technique. (After 21 days you basically have it down and your brain remembers). If this isn't worthy of a video I totally understand. Managing my practice time at the moment is my New Years resolution. I guess the older I get the more I want my practices to count. Just organizing it and getting my past my doubts are a challenge. Anyway, thanks again for your videos. You are an awesome teacher! Happy New Year!
@@danielkent2566 I think at your stage of the game as an MI grad, you already have an understanding of the basic courses: ear training, reading, harmony and theory, single string and rhythm guitar technique and performance, even if you might be rusty on some of those things. They were all meant to prepare you for what I think of as the big 4 you work on for the rest of your life: Transcription Composition Improvisation Performance To keep fresh ideas coming into your vocabulary: transcribe. To drag those concepts into reality: compose. To keep your chops up: improvise. Above all: set yourself a performance goal. A video, a recording, a show, a repertoire of tunes that you can pull out to entertain an audience. Whenever I get stuck or tired of one of these, I switch to another (especially transcription, it really pulls one out of a rut) and I'm motivated. When I'm really motivated, they might all happen on a given day.
@@BarrettTagliarino Great response! Thank you Barrett! I will try this more holistic approach. The important idea is to enjoy what I'm doing all the time being creative. I get it! Thanks!
You're welcome, and thanks for letting me know it was useful. I wasn't sure if this video would connect with online viewers because it is somewhat abstract.
@@BarrettTagliarino keep putting them out there I'll chew on them. Hahaha. Your book "chord tone soloing" opened my eyes and my playing has been on another level. Looking forward to learn new/more concepts from you. Thank you.
Great video Mr. Barret! I found your Guitar Fretboard Workbook in spanish and it was extremely helpful. I'm studying Guitar Reading Workbook and Interval Studies now, trying to be patient to develop a good technique, Jazz Basics is waiting in the shelf. Please keep making videos :)
Always come back to these videos for inspiration. Cheers Barrett 🎸
