Having played guitar since 1980, I can attest to the fact that when I added a looper, it opened up whole new worlds when it came to creating leads, melodies & songs.
I started with a Esteban dvd set. Classical spanish fingerpicking mostly. Just got to find the language that you comprehend and enjoy for your lessons challenging you to allways get better!
Also at 12:25, you referred to the "minor 3rd" of E which is G. That in itself is correct, but you said you were in the key of Am which is the same as C major, and you then played a C major pentatonic note run of C, D, E, G. In that C major context the G is the perfect 5th. In an A minor context the G is the minor 7th. Sorry to nit pick, but I live and breathe this stuff. 😊
So, to clarify for a newbie like myself....are you saying that "3rd" or "5th" etc is really supposed to be a reference to interval from the root of the key? Which is why you pointed out it's not perfectly accurate in this case to refer to G as the "minor 3rd" in this instance?
@@j3ffn4v4rr0 It depends. In this case O.R. -Guitar seems to be presenting this part in the context of a key as well as a scale, so looking at it that way, G is the 5th of C. But if you are looking at it chord-wise as an Em chord, then G is the minor 3rd in an E major scale, therefore making it a minor chord. Speaking of chords, while diatonic chords have all their notes in a particular scale, their origin is actually the major scale of their named root. For example, take the chord Am6. The notes are A,C,E,F#. One might make the mistake of thinking, "Okay, Am is the relative minor of C, and there are no sharps and flats in C, so the F# is supposed to be an F". But look at chord names like this. They are work orders. You take your Am6 work order (to obtain the notes) to the A MAJOR scale store. The person behind the counter grabs the A (root), then the C# (third) and files it down to a C like your work order says, then grabs the E (5th), then grabs the F# (nothing in the work order says this note must be changed). So, as long as you know the chord formula, if you then use this method to find the notes, you will never get it wrong.
Thank you for this video. Could you not use a back track instead of a looper pedal to practice hamming? Could you use the looper pedal with an electric bass guitar?
Yes and yes to both of your questions! The only thing about using backing tracks instead of a looper is you don't get much practice with rhythm guitar, but it's still a great way to practice!
my guitar is so close to the shower so i had to bolt the bottom of the guitar together without glue to keep it from falling apart so it can stretch and bend freely. .
"G-shaped minor pentatonic" scale was a mispeak. If you're viewing the A as the root note, it is the E-shape. If you view the root note as C, only then it is the G-shape, and it would be major and not minor in that case. But otherwise great job! I have a few years on you in music theory, but you are a better player. :-) I'd encourage you to dig into the details of music theory so that your understanding and accuracy in teaching others will excel.

This is such a helpful video, especially the finding the key of a song part. Thanks so much 😁
🎸🙏
Very helpful video and also very pleasant way of you showing and explaining this! Haven't come across anything like this before. Thank you very much!
Glad it was helpful!
You are absolutely right there are no shortcuts to the guitar😊
Practice practice practice practice practice yes
That's it!
Very informative video, you have a natural teaching style, and so easy to follow and learn, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for being so thorough. I feel like jamming with the looper now!!

I have a strong desire to jam with other guitarists and a strong desire to jam a comb into your hands.
Do you have any videos on the proper way to use an amp ? If so, I’d be interested.
Unfortunately I do not.

Yes and yes to both of your questions! The only thing about using backing tracks instead of a looper is you don't get much practice with rhythm guitar, but it's still a great way to practice!
It’s so cool
Wonderful. Thank you! So interesting learning what goes into your music! Well made video!
My pleasure!
Thanks for your inspiration man!
Of course!
Really great video man!! Keep it up
I appreciate it!
Thanks 😊
Well said😁

You don't need a computer or software or interface with the looper pedal by the way

Thanks for the correction. 🙏🏼🎸
Practice makes permanent. Repeat the same mistake for ten years, and you master that same mistake perfectly.
