Except you're a bitch.
Problems you have as a guitar player:
1. You feel behind where you should be considering how long you’ve been playing for
2. Not knowing what to practice which results in jumping around from thing to thing and overall just wasting your time
3. You only ever learn parts of songs and struggle to actually finish one
4. You lack motivation to pick up the instrument despite feeling very excited to in the past
5. You’ve been playing the same licks/songs for years
6. You can’t play what’s in your head
7. Feeling nervous around better musicians
8. You’ve never really gotten the hang of the metronome
9. Music theory doesn’t make sense to you or feels like a massive task to learn and you don’t know where to start
10. And above all, you just sound amateur
Because I'm smart as hell and understand your problems so well, I've addressed them all in 52 Week Guitar Player.
Chances are by this point you're aware that the program is open for enrollment. We are looking to take 90 intermediate level guitar players to an advanced level within the next 12-24 months.
By advanced, I mean helping you improvise anywhere on the neck in any key, write chord progressions you never would've thought of or knew how to previously, tighten up your playing, help you feel confident around other musicians, understand music theory, etc.
I created a video explaining how the program works that I'll link here: brandondeon.com/52wgp-video
This program is not cheap, but it is the best you'll find on the internet. Watch the video above if you don't believe me.
52WGP is for students who are serious about taking their musicianship to the next level.
You'll have until March 31 to enroll but fun fact about this stuff: everyone tries to enroll toward the end. People want to take time to weigh the pros and cons of joining - this is completely understandable.
But just so you know, as time passes the window of opportunity shrinks. And at the end of the day, yes the program will open again months later (this is my business and I'm not closing it). But instead of staying in the same place for months, I'm sure you could agree your time would be better spent getting a different perspective on things - not just continuing to play the same stuff you do all the time.
I do my best to help you chefs out with all of these fookin community posts all the time. For some of you, that's all you need. There's nothing wrong with that and I'm happy to be helping you out.
But for those of you that want to improve at a faster pace, I'll see you on the other side dammit.

Okay bye.

Hey nice hat
You forgot the worst guitarist problem: being on cigarettes
lmao cringe
Keep up the great work, you are inspiring me to get better
Lmao the way you make it funny but still teach what needs to be taught is awesome
duuuude ur so underrated keep up the grind
I have learned alot from your course.
Man I like this dude he got me practicing for 6 to 8 hours a day because of how he gets under my skin. Just you wait I will be the punk rock taylor swift guitarist I always waited to be
It actually helped thanks sir
Also mess around by mixing up modified versions of scales! Mix up chords from a harmonic minor with your C major progression. Or your C harmonic major with your C major progression! That leads to great progressions like
C - E7 - F - Fm!
Straight to the point and well explained . Thank you 🙏
Again great advice. Key changes make music interesting and gives you more chords to play with. I like how you can move major chords up a tone several times which works well for changing keys. i.e. Play the chords C to D to E to F#. Then all of a sudden C# Major key is at your disposal. A G#7 at the end of that would make it an even an even smoother transition.
thanks ! this pissed me offf !
you can also interpret that Bb as a parallel chord from Cmin
Good stuff
Thanks Brandon, I think I'm starting to understand!
He did the thing that feels right when I do it and I like it
Great music is less about structure and rules and more about flow (listening with the ears not thinking with rules) .just as the universe flows naturally , music is a part of the universe .
Bro U are Giving People one of the Best tips for guitar learners in every vid❤
This video gave answers to so many questions…
This guy knows his stuff, I need to sign up for his classes
It’s a fantastic program.
Huh. I *have* been feeling pissed off about all the chord progressions I noodle on. I haven't been modulating lately in my improvisation. That pisses me aaawff. Thanks for the reminder.
You make me laugh so good bruv. Tysm for the helpful advice
I love this
"Fuck you up in a good way"
You can just talk normal while you give us the tips man. We will still watch.
but then it’s not fun
@@maxproduxes Man I envy you. If you think thats fun theres a lot of places you could go to hear people talk like this. You could host a TCG game night, or get a job at gamestop, for starters.
@@hueysharapova7175 haha but if he talked normal then he would be like everybody else
That's interesting! Thank you!
I use a lot of minor plagal cadences in my chord progressions.Another thing I use is the dominant chord to either:1)Change key clockwise along the circle of 5ths
2)Change key up a whole tone
You should seek medical attention for that.
@@scottashe984 you should get off the cigarettes
thks help me a lot😂
Can u do one for the minor scales pls
I just play what sounds good
Yeah, but this is a roadmap to show you what sounds good and why.
It's not 100% necessary, but it can be very helpful to people who want to understand the context behind it.
To each his own essentially but there's def a lot of value in expanding knowledge and vocabulary/tools.
Keep rockin bro
@@jlu965 i mean thats a lot of music theory, just explaining why things work. A lot of people don't know why they write it the way they do it just sounds good to them. leaning music theory is just a way to make it easier for yourself to make your music sound good (imo)
@@Av-te7zeI think it’s almost a shortcut, and I use that very loosely. But a lot of great players who don’t know much theory were probably jamming since they were a kid, and played with other musicians and learned songs and figured out what goes where in doing so. The beautiful part about theory is that you don’t have to wing it until it works. You just know it works!
It’s certainly helpful to know the theory. But I wouldn’t put it over the importance of developing your ear musically
My progress on guitar skyrocketed once I got on THE CIGARETTES!
You’re cool as shit mister!
genius
Important 👌
Look Who’s Inside Again Chords
Hair tutorial next
Why is Dm doubled in key of F
Bro got the ozzy soul
I need help with my fiddle.
This dude is like the guy from Whiplash
My head hurtss where’s my 035
You wrote Dm instead of Gm in F key
WTF. BRUH YOU JUST EXPANDED MY BRAIN IN ONE MIN LOL.
Letterkenny vibes
Idk why but I was scared that a rock roll was incoming
Yeah, big fun in the Sun sounds good when it's baltic outside
Iron Maiden does this in their song Paschendale
YES
You've gotten a lot less pissed off sounding from when I watched you a few years ago lol
Is this sort of the same concept of secondary dominance?
Harsh taskmaster are ye, Brandon.
(good)
Bros on the spectrum for sure.
The question is, why didn't I think of it myself?
Este sujeto me grita en la cara, pero me agrada
I didn't know my padiwan plays guitar
Hi novice music guy here but when you use it as a pivot to a new key doesn't that mean that the song has 2 keys instead of one? Then let's say an artist wants to get on the song they would have to sing in 2 keys?
Lol I wish you the best I'm going to practice more hours
I feel like this kid was greatly influenced by the Powerthurst videos.
Thinking of this is this like doing modes?
I don't even know what chord progression is
A progression is the order of chord changes used. Most commonly used in modern music, is referred to as a "riff".
Ex: the first chords he lists out, is an initial riff "chord progression". Which can be lead into the second chords list, that would be referred to, as the second riff "chord progression".

You're not Steve Terreberry and Nik Nocturnal dude.
I wonder how many subs he needs for age reveal
Phuck u up is the funniest thing I've ever seen
Circle of 5ths?
So basically I can play multiple keys at once??? Aite
What concept is this in music theory?
Relative notes/chords, to different keys, for the progression/sequence to still harmonize, through the key change
Basixally the circle of fifths and how you can use the 4th and 5th degrees of a scale to either switch to relative keys and borrow chords from those keys while still primarily playing within the original key that you’re in
Why u use waltz tempo?
wtf is major?
What about the order of chords in a minor key?
Just start the order of chords in a major key from the sixth chord. So the order is
Min - Dim - Maj - Min - Min - Maj - Maj
Could absolutely play a young Jordan Peterson in a biopic.
🎉
uhm from the key of F, should the Dm be Gm right?
Ohhh i do this naturally lol😂
How can I tell what key I'm playing in..? And what happens when you do like a c-add 9 for example. As I tend to try to voice my chords different
How do you save youtube shorts? I'm bad at chord progressions
I share them with text message and send them to my own number.
isn't this just modulation?
Isn't the formula of major W W H W W W H? Please comment
wait, people write chord progressions, I thought my hope for humanity was gone but theres still people with brain in the music industry it seems
I don't know what any of this mans im just playing what sounds good help 😭😭😭
Shit creators have to do to stand out these days😂
Steal them because it isnt plagiarism to steal progressions.
Seems you went through a lot learning that instrument I can see the past anger on your face but you kinda trying to distress and play it cool n easy😊
👍
Finger a minor
This guy pisses me off so much he makes me wanna learn music theory
Now just leave
They never needed to learn all those mathematical theories of music to become revolutionary and famous composers.
And that's not just true of Afro-Americans. Even Ennio Morricone, in his early days as a composer, confessed to knowing nothing about music theory. The same goes for Hans Zimmer and the great master Beethoven.
I don't mean to be pejorative towards the white community. I'm just stating the obvious.
White people love to study and analyze everything. It's great for the advancement of technology. But in music, the more you study music theory, the further you get from the music.
Take Jacob Collier, for example. He never composed a single hit in his life. He's a great reference in the field of music theory, but in reality he's not a musician, he's just a music scientist. His name will never be inscribed alongside composers such as Lionel Richie, Steve Wonder, Pharell William... All guys who never learned a single line of music theory.
The more music theory you learn, the further away you get from music.
Which means, if you know as much about music as you pretend to, get your butt out of that miserable youtube teacher's chair and go take your destiny into your own hands. Face your fears of failure and become the next rock star. Because I'm guessing you didn't spend all those years learning to play the guitar, only to show up on youtube giving lessons.
Was creating an army of guitarists your childhood dream?
This man is so corny
