When using number system, the count uses Alphabet. So if key is A, a 1/4/5 would be A is the 1 so starting on A, count 4 out from A and you get D cord as the 4, count 5 out from A and you get E as the 5 cord. So if you play in key of E. E is the 1 cord, count 4 out from E in Alphabetical order and the 4 cord is A. And the 5 cord is the B cord In a 1/4/5 progression. You guys are awesome!!!!! I tried yo go a little further with explanation as I recently just learned this myself. I hope I didn't step on your toes fellas.
The Chord Scales, Nashville Numbers and barre chords all coming together was the biggest leap my playing, theory and fretboard understanding took. It turns the fretboard into kind of a music theory abacus that calculates all the intervals and relative scales in just a second. Understanding those was the gold nugget I wish I’d figured out earlier.
I have to say when I learned the Nashville number system that was the single most mind blowing thing for me. Along with everything revolving around the major scale. God I wish I had RU-vid and you guys around when I was younger. It could have saved me so much time.
I play a lot of percussive fingerstyle songs but these tutorials have helped me so much because I am preparing for college auditions and need to learn music theory and scales now
I'm a Bass player. I can play guitar some so I wouldn't watch something like this normally but I found this enjoyable and informative. Something I did not know.These guys made learning fun.
Secret tip # 6 is. If you make a mistake while soloing, just repeat the mistake either once or 3 times and no one while know it was a mistake, other than those of us who know this secret.
Most important trick I learned was that the scale, whichever scale you consider, is everywhere on the neck, from the lowest note in the scale available on the guitar to the highest. Playing 4 notes per string through the scale broke me out of the positional thinking. Thanks for the skinny!
I am so happy to see Dovy back here! There is always a deeper secret among secrets to learn about guitar, and that's why it is so enlightening to learn!
This is brilliant, good chemistry obviously bestie mates, it’s a great way to learn tips and methods from what felt like a couple of guys you met who were in some band and shared some of their knowledge with you. Good job fellas.
Musician for almost 60 years and I laughed my head off. You both remind me of some of the funniest musicians of the past.Pete Barbutti, Henny Youngman, VictorBorga. Just to mention a few. Love the inside laughs..
Haha you guys are great! The guild is not too happy tho, good tips, the cover up mistakes is classic, and so is the end-of-song signal. Running an open mic for years this signal is taught to all newbies lol. My valued take-away is yes learn my chord scales, and scales starting w new fingers
Great video... Could you do a video on how to get the right tone. Is there a secret where/how maybe mixing the B string, or the E string from another set with the hard ones?
Omg...i was just listening to the video and i heard Dovydas laugh and i knew immediately who it was, I love that guy! His performance of baby shark is classic! Who else could get baby shark to sound great?? Nobody! Not to mention those two are the best looking online guitar guys, easy on the eyes, great on the ears! I'm so glad you two collaborated and I hope you do it again!
The chord scale thing and number system was a huge revelation to me when I learned it. I kind of can't believe that isn't like the first thing everyone is taught when learning guitar. It's possibly the most useful thing ever. Thanks for a highly entertaining (and useful) video guys!
@@TreeShark This is an awesome video about the Nashville Number System ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EZJ1z7zbg_c.html I think it's a very clear and thorough explanation of the advantages offered and makes it easier to recognize common changes in songs.
Funny stuff guys, loved it. I’m amazed how much of what you showed I’ve been doing by default to cover my mistakes….because we all know the difference between an amateur and professional is knowing how to cover mistakes with intention and make it look like you MEANT to play that. LOL 😂
I really was delighted with the 'damp but keep the rhythm going' when the mind blanks out tip - so obvious but in 56 of years of playing I'd never thought of it - usually stopped briefly.
Awesome video! I was already subscribed to Døvydas but I found your channel and I'm loving this. You form an amazing duo. I'm having fun watching this and these tips seem very useful. Thank you very much for revealing your secrets hehe
Good stuff, especially liked the high drone idea. Have you done a video on secondary dominants, and such? E.g. 1 to flat 7 major ( A to G, etc. ) in other words, chords NOT within the original scale.
I'm very impressed. Most young people today do not know that the finger next to the thumb is the index finger. He's correct because he's intelligent. The next one the middle finger is the forefinger. People get it mixed up they say the index finger is called the forefinger, and the one next to that is the middle finger. It's just pop culture modern jargon. Thank you for speaking properly
I always took the nod to mean "off you go then (solo)". Or, similarly, "I've forgottent the words - you cover by soloing". Another one is the wink you receive (or give). it means "You make a mistake. The audience didn't notice, and I don't think the drummer did either, but I did!"
Amateurs don't share. Nobody got to be anybody without sharing. I'm amazed at how many professionals with really big names will go out of their way to help you. That's what makes them great.
Take note young guitarlings. Tip number 2 and it's variants, are some of the single most valuable tips for any novice guitar player to convince those around you that you rock!! NEVER break time, EVEN if you can't make the chord change. And, if in doubt - SLIDE is an excellent Bass tip as well.
Agreed. Don't stop playing.... The real art of falling off the songbus is to be waiting at the next stop (1 count/chord change) instrument in hand without slowing/stopping the bus. If all else fails, frame the botched solo/bridge in a tight beginning and tight ending. You'd be surprised how often the room forgets the awful, chunky milk style version of the solo just played in the middle only to applause a smooth tight finish. Oh and keep smiling
It is a cage cord high G shape. Or a 4th string voicing G cord D shape cord.but I think its C cord G shape cored.and thank you for saying abought the n8mbers my playing 8s using numbers and you confermed I'm on the right track..thanks...Roland J Gutierrez from Magdalena New Mexico usa..
Sean shares soooooo many secrets that only a select few know. I hope he doesn’t get into trouble with the inner circle for revealing these guarded bits of knowledge.
You got a watch the Grateful Dead and how they signal each other. And also they have little squares of gaffer tape or duct tape on the floor and so when they were looking down the square helps them know exactly where the mic is and they step in to the Square but I think that when the dead have these little squares on stage they also use them to see when the singing is going to happen again they’ll step into the Square so that everybody’s ready. Then the next verse happens.And obviously when they’re having a jam that only somewhat has a structured they need to know when they’re going to go back into the words.
I am going to buy the course just because you both are so entertaining together, the power duo of Sean and Dovy, wow. Maybe someday Dovy can make a killer loop out of that I V vi vi progression Sean loves so much :)
I just watched Rick Beato address this. The short version; Don't play exclusively using roots, octaves and fifths. Of course these usually work but I can attest that playing that way limited me for a long time. As a safe spot to reconnoiter if you are not sure of the progression and when watching the guitarist does not tell you what you want, then they always work. A lot of hard rock songs have very simple eighth note on the root parts. It can even sound good when you stay on the first root while the guitars change. When you do know the chord progression, stay off of the melody and avoid the six. Avoid the notes the singer is using and the guitar solo. Harmony is a better complement than doubling.
I'm confused, need a little help! I went to buy the course and first, I signed up and should've gotten the course for a discount, but its in my cart for full price. Next, I saw another course how to jam with another online guitar guy with a beard. I'm not sure which course is better for me? I'd like to be able to jam, and I don't ever see myself playing lead guitar in a band, so I'm guessing the jam course. BUT I really like Dovydas and want to support him. Help!?!? Does jamming exclusively mean playing with someone else? If yes then the lead guitar course is likely a better choice. Help!
Grrreat vid you guys--yeah you are most definately out of the Guild. I thought the number one tip was when somebody asks you "what do I need to do learn to how to play guitar" the answer is "don't start" (there's too many damn guitarists in the world). I do have a gigging tip that has 2 parts-1) don't show up to a gig so drunk that 2) you set up a preamp/multieffect unit upside down on your cabinet, so you spend 2 or more sets reading the setting numbers wrong. Darn 606, what's going on? And the knobs give you the opposite result too! Unfortunately this happened to someone else and I wasn't there to experience the fun! A friend's guitarist pulled this at a gig. Drink up buttercup-I think he passed out before the 3rd set. Good times...
Hey everyone! I know I'm asking much but I could really use your help... I am a highschool student who just got interested in music. Before I wasn't really interested in anything music related maybe because I wasn't exposed with music until there was a new event at our school called "battle of the bands". Since the event was scheduled after school hours, I was not planning in watching and was ready to go home then my friend convinced me to attend. I don't have any plans or anything to do at home so I went with him to watch the event. When the first band showed up, I was really blown away by the performance and the music especially the guitar player when it was the solo part making me more interested and curious on what might the other band play. It was a really fun experience that after the event, I thought to myself if I can be like them, if even I can play music. Their performances gave me motivation to play music and now, one of my goals is to join a band and perform at the stage. I want to start to play music specifically playing the electric guitar but I can't since my family is really strict about money and don't support my passion for music. So I am asking again for help if you can to support me in getting a guitar and some gears so I can start my journey on learning music because I am excited to learn to play guitar and perform at a crowd of people. Also, Thank you to everyone in advance who is able to help donate as well as sharing! www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=9PYBAU7W443CQ
Nothing super big-time. Just mostly acoustic duo stuff basically all over the place. Played a good amount of shows on bass and electric lead guitar but nothing to more than like 1,000 people.
God! you guys are killin me! funny as sh#$! You guys should work on some more video stuff, good chemistry... love it! PS btw, I packed away my copy of this in my fireproof safe. no secrets getting out of here!
Hey Sean! Any tips for creating a quick daily practice regimen to keep up the chops? I work a full time job and also have a family at home, and some days I can’t get to the guitar for more than a few passing minutes. Sometimes it’s awhile before I get back to playing, and by the time I do, I feel like I spend what little time I have just trying to get back up to where I was before. Anyway thanks again for the lessons 🤙
If you've ever seen me start with any finger using blank shapes and funky fills while intensely staring in hyperawarness of Nashville number changes and chordscales then you know you missed the bridge Andrea! Cheers Sean and Devy!!
Prepare to have my brains blown out? Sheesh, I don't know if it's worth it. This video confirms for me that Sean is like Seinfeld for guitar/music fans, or guitar for Seinfeld fans. Maybe. I enjoyed the bass solo / take the pitch story.
Another fun pro tip: If one of your bandmates is being a dick, everyone else moves 1/2 step up together on signal. Be sure to catch the look on their face before they figure it out. Good times!
