@@nsinc965 I learned the hard way, there is an allen key slot inside the hole in front of the guitar that allows you to raise and lower the strings from the fret board. Whenever I first got my guitar apparently the strings were way higher off the board than they were supposed to be, requiring much greater force to push down the strings to play a note. My first month of playing guitar was extremely painful, but I developed calluses real fast.
@@thathomiefox Well my friend showed me the slot inside, once you know where it is, it's pretty easy to access. Just loosen all the strings a LOT, then push between the D and G strings and use the allen key to either raise or lower your fret board. I adjusted it myself recently to bring my strings up a little more off the board because they were buzzing quite a but.
Guitar teachers from thirty and forty years ago never taught about scales or keys. The most common thing I heard from anyone was that If you know three or four chords, you can play hundreds of songs. Almost as if they were hiding something. The biggest reason people quit is they don't progress. I now know I won't.
i’m guilty of telling people if they learn 4 chords they can learn tons of songs. I think it’ll get them to start playing. I’ve owned a guitar since i was 7 and didn’t play anything or learn anything till i was 20. It’s definitely about the people you have around you and your drive to learn it.
@@EbonyPope You need to read a book called: Music theory from beginner to expert by Nicholas Carter... that will truly unlock full understanding of how music is made. cheers and goodluck 🤟🏻

Dude, I have been playing guitar for almost 5 years now, almost self taught watching videos here and there, never being truly able to connect stuff together until now. I knew chords, I knew scales but I never figured out a pattern where everything flushed out. I rarely write comments but man you earned a sub.
I’m exactly where you said you were, knowing chords, and knowing scales, but not being able to put them together, also self taught through videos and what not, i’m just at the beginning of this video. I hope you’re right because I can see right where I need help. I feel like I’m in the brink of starting to get good.
This is probably the best guitar lesson I've seen in a long long time. Most lessons focus on one aspect, one song, one technique, one scale, a few licks, you get my point. I would LOVE to see a whole course built on your approach. All the way to more advanced concepts. More scales, chords inversions, more theory. That'd be a massive hit.
I truly appreciate how you keep your playlist up to date. This video just so happened to be the next one I’m supposed to watch and it was posted 2 hours ago. Most TH-camrs end up neglecting their playlist so this is very helpful
As an improvising bassist and guitarist for more than thirty years, I think this can be a great approach for beginners starting their improvisational journeys, very good advice. Bravo, I totally approve of your message here.
Thanks Andrew. As a beginner of 50yrs strumming Ive been playing with triads and I think you've just squared the circle for me with the pentatonic shape and 7 chords.
I've been learning from andrew clarke for a pretty long while now...I started playing at about 11 years old and had lessons. I quit playing for many years and stumbled upon andrew a couple years ago...I've learned more from him than I have in all my lessons and self teaching years together. By far the best.
I like how you have the demonstration with the dots on it going the same way as I play my guitar it’s so much more easy to understand then going the opposite way it makes it twice as hard to learn the guitar that way thank you! Great lesson by the way
This is a real ass eye opener, I’ve taught myself how to play on electric and acoustic/12 and 6 string. Only been playing for 4 years. I only really know bar and open chords. Scales are something I’ve only recently started to explore due to my interest into blues. This has helped tremendously will be using this to help my daily practice.
I’ve been waiting years for this video. I understand some basic theory but could never figure out how to put it together in a way I could practice. Thank you!
Wow! You’re patient. I’m impressed you even had the foresight to know it was on its way, actually! (TBH, this is TH-cam, there’s plenty of this content here). Happy Guitaring.
I’ve been learning for a few years I learnt chord positions and scales never been able to tie em together 20 minutes of practice after watching this changed the way I’m looking at the guitar and I now feel like John Mayer! Thank you dude this is a genuinely helpful and informative video
Really insightful for me, who never really had enough of a clue before to figure out how/when to play 'diminished' chords before that link to the key. Thank you! Also, your preferred way of 'mapping' first from root notes of all intervals in the key, then the pentatonics + other scales on top of that is a great way to reinforce everything together. I've been playing for years and it still helps!
dude you're the man! i am always browsing guitar tutorials, but very rarely do i come across someone who explains something in a way it JUST MAKES SENSE to my self taught ass. Your playing is awesome. i cant wait to get this theory shit down more cause i can play pretty decent, a couple pages of covers and write some of my own stuff, but i really want to get better at bluesy stuff like that hendrix sounding shit you played lol keep putting out more stuff im here for the ride brother
Really appreciate that man! I'm glad the videos are working for you. Once you start making more of these connections your playing is really gonna take off!
I love your videos. you have a way of explaining things to me that just make sense. You got me to understand things in 10 minutes that entire courses werent able to make click. I commend you
Sadly i do think it impresses people more just to play songs they know but man. Lemme tell you some instructors are so wrong about noodling. I'm not amazing by any means but I've improved using this method and noodling. Thanks man. Highly appreciate the basics that I've learned from you. Feel like I can progress on my own and from people around me (jamming, listening to music, etc) and never get stuck.
Thank you dude this lesson has been a revelation for me. I'm somewhat of an intermediate player and this lesson just connected so many dots. As a player who wants to play like SRV and jimi hendrix thank you this lesson has got me one step closer
You just connected the dots for me, just as I was about to give up music theory. Now there's a chance to understand what I've been playing/copying for 3 years. Feeling religious! Big big thankyou and Merry X-rays! 🎄
I like my way; Turn on the radio and play Whatever song is on. You can't make a vid about that because of copyright strikes. But it's the ultimate guitar experience, especially playing songs you don't know. After playing a song you never heard before you reinforce your own good taste; 'I can see why that song was never a hit'....
This was so well put together man, thanks! I would add that having the Circle of Fifths in front of you can help you a lot when practicing or memorizing those chords.
I wish youtube had been around when i was learning age 7 around 40 years ago. Learnt more from this one video than decades of failing on my own and with bad teachers. Thanks ❤
Great stuff, thanks for putting things together for me! The short example of you playing chords and scales really gave me the spark. Any more examples like that to start the creativity would be great!
Glad I watched this one. This is a great simplification on how to enjoy a complex music machine we call a guitar. And it is a great foundational base from which to expand. Well done.
When you started chording through the C Major scale, I couldn't help but start singing "Once upon a time you dressed so fine, threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?"...
Wow I've been playing more years than I care to mention but in a few short mins you have made chord arrangements make sense to me in a way I can understand & now apply to other keys I have also subscribed thankyou so much Mark 🤙
I rarely comment. But I was totally prepared for some railroad way instead of this epiphany with how to improvise. Thanks from a beginner player who knows what to do to start off
I like how this is an intermediate to base-advanced guitar skill, but taught keeping in mind that you are still a beginner to a new technique even if you are an intermediate to advanced player. It's helpful 👍👍
I really enjoyed this lesson. I was able to tie several things together that I already knew. I now have more insight on how to actually make music. Joining your YT Channel to support. Thank you so much!
we think really alike, i was thinking the same exact thing with the learning a bunch of chord progressions and how to arrange lead with chords together. I also was thinking the same thing. Rather than Triads which take forever to learn.
Hey Andrew, awesome lesson as always! Also do now that I'm still around enjoying and continually learning new things form your excellent videos. Also always happy seeing your channel continually growing and congrats on that new 100k TH-cam Plaque as well! ! Well deserved my friend. ... Oh and do know I always do hit that like button on all the videos I watch as well. ha! 😎🎸✨👍
Exactly what I needed... I mean I've got fragmentary knowledge on chords, chord progressions, pentatonics and some techniques scales as well as a repertoire of some mediaeval songs... But this gives me a good foundation to summarise what I learnt so far and cement it all together. I'll be rewatching this video a lot to get it nailed down, I was always fascinated by the art of improvising, this was a solid foundation you presented, thanks man! Really appreciate the content you make 😊
ayo photography tip, bring up a little the apture of the guitar camera so we can see better what u doing just enough so we can see it and have the background blur
Just using the key of C major, it’s hard to find any songs that use the B diminished chord. Now there are a lot of songs that use E major instead of E minor, or even sometimes both in the same song. Interesting to wonder how many musicians have an innate sense of music sense versus those that have to throw random chords together. 😮
The diatonic vii chord isn't used super often and is more of a passing chord that leads to the I chord. As for other chords that exist outside of a key, those can be "borrowed" through a process called modal interchange. I'm sure many songwriters stumble upon these chords randomly, but there's a reason they work tied back to theory. As far as this lesson goes, we're only dabbling in diatonic chord progressions.
@@andrewclarkeguitar It is in ‘I will survive by Gloria Gaynor. It’s a great song to learn , and uses every one of the diatonic chords ( I think). The vii is definitely in it

Beware the neglected guitar on the wall at a party. It probably still has a horrendous factory setup that has gotten even worse over time.
What does that mean
