3 Tips to Jamming on Guitar 

"Chances are that you have friends" ... oh

Tip 4-Tune your guitar Tip 5- watch your timing

I would say a cleaner Tenacious D rather than Sigfreid and Roy

Since I started watching you guys my playing is improving exponentially, but my left hand is throbbing so badly I'm not going to be able to touch my guitar for the next week and it's not like I don't have callouses! But really you guys since I've started watching I feel that the barriers I have struggled with musically are evaporating quickly and I didn't think it was possible. One of the greatest gifts anyone has provided to me, hell im laying here typing on my phone, under my covers and I'm getting a little testy eyed just thinking about all of the satisfying progress you two have helped me achieve🤓

Tip 4: the more you drink and smoke pot the better you think you sound.

Dominance should be established between you two via a visit to the ThunderDome, Two men enter one man leads...

"Petrucci Book Of Dominance" Beautiful, simply beautiful

That's awesome guys. Not only are you jamming together well but your performing the video itself well together. It's like 'a 101 courtesy course', as well as reminding people that it's about the Music people are playing together. Though everybody has their moment of being 'the center of attention', perhaps. Which on another level would be they're 'major personal contribution that stands out', usually called a solo. As a side note I thought it was interestingly 'ironic', though of course it doesn't 'matter', that when you were deciding who would be the lead player, at least at first as an agreement, that you didn't mention that Sean is using a cutaway guitar that is usually for solos, however ironically Ian, the chosen person playing solos, didn't have a cutaway guitar. Not mentioning it though would be extremely suiting since Sean was going to play rhythm. Anyway thanks a lot guys it's great

Ah, the old G to B flat jamming chords.

Met two guys today playing and they invited me to come out and play with them. They were wanting to get a community thing going. I'd like to but I've never played guitar with others ,especially guys that know what they're doing. The palm muting suggestion is a good one.

Seems alot of fun when you have friend who is not trying to dominate the jamming session. Cheers from Indonesia.

I had these tips already in my head, but it's always nice to hear those again

I love your videos Sean and Ian. thanks to you my improvisation skills have improved by a big margin . I can't thank you enough!

Any tips on making lead guitarists listen and remember?

Sean, would you consider doing a video offering some insight into ornamenting basic melodies especially in the bluegrass format? Something that can help in developing an approach to improvising solos in this style? I would appreciate anything you can offer along these lines, I find the way that you teach and communicate so effective and this is a style that I am obsessed with mastering. Thank you so much

You're both great teachers, you literally helped me a lot improving myself and my playstyle! thanks a lot!

I would like to see a video for jamming with less skilled players. Me being the more skilled in the scenario

If you're jamming in 'G' as you guys were, what notes does the lead guitarist play and what chords does the rhythm guitarist play? I assume the lead guitarist plays only notes from the G major scale, but what rule does the rhythm player use to choose which chords to use?

You guys are awesome! Enjoy watching your channels individually and teamed up!!

Freakin love yours and Ians Videos!! So informative and so funny. Keep up the great work guys! :)

There is a place for surprises especially if you are creating in the moment. This is more successfully done if the players are very proficient in improvisation and have played a long time together. Sometimes the surprise is well placed when you can sense where the lead is going and you know the surprise chord will still work with the motiff. One of the easy ways to accomplish this is using replacement chords. By doing this you can ease your lead player into a new idea

It's always amazing to watch your lessons and they are getting better and better every time :)

It's all tip and no shaft with you guitar teachers!! (Good work, lads)

That feeling when you don't know your scales other than wwhwwwh or whwwwhw but it's like "which pattern from what fret number again John?!"

nice!! i’ve watched so many videos with these 2 individually, I didn’t know they did a video together!!! Awesome!!

First video I've seen from these guys. They seem super nice and I'm really grateful for the info - Thanks guys! That being said they are 100% the real-life Tenacious D.

Hi Sean, I came to your channel through after seeing the modes with Frusciante video since i am a MASSIVE Frusciante fan, and after watching a few more videos I have to say you have literally become my go to guitar channel! Great work brother !

Didn't learn as much as from most of your videos but worth it for the laughs.

Tips made and taken. Terrific synergy between you two!

I think what we learned from this are that Siegfreid and Roy were the rhythm players, and the tigers were the lead players. When a rhythm player starts trying to take the spotlight...maulings happen.

yes!! been waiting for this quite a while thx sean!! love you lots!! hope you will upload more jamming tips in future ;)

I love the videos! Awesome information and very entertaining with the humor!! Keep on rockin' and teaching!!

Nice lesson. Sean Daniel i watched you on the OGS, you my friend, did VERY well!

I must admit, when jamming blues stuff with other guitarists, we would use one of a few alternate middle 8 style chord fills (like a 4 1 2 5) that we would spring on the dude that was soloing after his first 12 and before his second. most of the guys we played with would cope really well and it would just launch the solo for the final 12

Great looking Breedlove! Being an Oregonian myself, I'm about to pick up one of the Oregon series models (:

absolutely brilliant, Know your roles people!

I like Ian's fuckup at 2:15 and he tries to play it off lol

Sean . Grettings from Vietnam . Love your channel . Can you please do so Velvet Underground , Lou Reed . Sweet Nuthing and what the jamming or chords are for that style . Love it man ,

Bold of you to assume I have friends

I'm always blown away by how Ian solos over your typical rhythm ,like was he really improvising ? and a grammar question, is it for jamming or to jamming , because honestly english isn't my mother tongue ,great video though ,dynamics rule

The guy on the right looks like Pewdiepie

1. Listen 2. Keep your head up like ice hockey. 3. Don't walk on the singer. 4. Don't walk on the singer.

You guys are funny! The beard has some MAD skilz on lead guitar!

LOL.. You guys are a great team...

Wow great tips!.. Now I just need some friends

Man you guys are no joke...but yet your so funny...Thanks for sharing and more please!

This video gives me jam anxiety and reminded me why I play solo

Lmao ! HAHAHAHA! J fell over laughing. Very Happy learning!

Can you do a video about key changes? Thanks! Loving your channel. :)

Thanks for the videos. Any tips on meeting/finding people to jam with? I'm not a great guitar player yet, but I'd like to jam/learn from those who are. I've been trying Craigslist. Most people are looking for a guitar player... someone who is good.

Great lesson guys...thanks.

This was very helpful

i liked to go to 5:55 (Phish joke) . Thats when they start the jam.

Great instruction, thank you. Just began learning to play. Still learning chords how much knowledge would you suggest before jamming with friends?

Nice

No cheese platter for you mister :) great points keep up the great vids.

Yeah because telling my friend to go back to B works nice when were playing with our marshalls cranked at 120 db's

just perfect topic to work on :)

Even though i knew this, it was still hilarious haha

Loved the JP book haha

Great lesson guys....love your videos. A quick question...would you recommend any books on music theory which are must-read? Thank you and keep it up :)

You guys are awesome! You made me laugh and learn so hard ;)

u guys are great together

Man, so great to watch!! Thanks! :-)

Thanks for the great video guys! :)

Hilarious, yet informative. Thanks.

Awesome video!!!!!!!!! Love it

:) so in the ending jam Ian was playing in Aminor and then switched to Bflat minor scale?

I dig "just the tips"

Was Sean channeling Chris Walken around 5:14? I expected more cowbell from that point forward.

so, just a question, when he solos, does he pretty much just play notes from the g scale and othe scales in the key of g? great vid

It's pretty much the rhythm section providing a backing track for the lead.

great video guys!

What scales and picking patterns was the lead guitarist playing? Where can I find that solo to practice?

Should the lead player not have the guitar with the cut in? Your thoughts??

Nice!

if you dont have a jam buddy, can you work this out with loop pedal?

My only jam partner is my looper pedal :(

thanks guys

White room solo explained... needed

Great! 😄

You guys crack me up

Love your videos!

These guys are /thee/ definition of hokey, but credit where it's due; they have skills to pay the bills. They're best at theory, imo, but I always listen to what they have to say (even when the banter is "noticeably contrived" - or maybe that's the appeal for people who like "cheese"). Don't let me bring you down OPs; you're better musicians than I am. For now ;) Edit: Came back to edit inaccurate statement, change some language.

this guy is the best teacher on the web. although I think he moves too fast for beginners.

What is the guitars you guys are using

How do you know the key

what was tip # 3?

I just recieved my Estaban learning guitar package from the Home shopping Channel and my friend has a, Gibson J45 who leads?

Anybody ever tell you that you look like pewdiepie? Nice videos!

YOu guys are fantastic

I wish I could play as good as the dude on the left

love it!

Thank you pewdiepie for the help!

Guitar Wizards!

Just wanted to ask.. who is Sean and who is Daniel ?....

I am the guy who plays chords all over the place. I ate the red pill and it hurts.

🌹💓

truer words have been spoken. however, I think they might have been spoken by 2 acoustic guitars that didn't suck whilst palm jamming together

first rule is somewhat okay, rest can be broken
