Lucas, I've been playing guitar for 20 years. I just recently got into finger style after watching Scotty Anderson, Ben Lacy and now you. You have a gift my friend. Anyway, your short lesson on 7 chords in this video was the best lesson, as far as information gained over the amount of teaching time, I have ever seen. So simple. Thanks!
This is the first guitar channel that made me want to pick up my guitar back and start learning again. Honestly, amazing work and content. Keep it up! I always wanted to add a jazzy tone to the stuff I play and your way of explaining it made it so much easier. Thank you sir! Can’t wait for part 2! (I hope you notice my comment)
Honestly, as a former jazz student, for your first ever lesson on RU-vid, I say to you sir: it's a Mastapeece!!! (For real, very instructive and transparent)
This is amazing! Please make more! I've been really wanting to learn how to sound a lot more competent with my playing but it feels like there's this giant wall I have to jump over. This one video helped a lot! Please make more.
Lucas! Thanks so much for your channel. You are a great guitar player and instructor. My only little piece of advice would be to spend a little longer on the explanation of the diatonic notes and their application. Anyway, keep up with the great work!
There have been a few times in my life where I have felt so enlightened. This 5 min tutorial literally has taught me more than my last 8 years playing guitar Holy shit. How I didn't think of this before.
Man, you've inspired me to take my instrument and play again after 3 years of hiatus. And I've found music I'd like to play on classic guitar, which I (due to my arrogance) considered "lame". Feels so good just to be playing music. Can't wait to binge watch your lessons.
it's an awesome way to learn the notes of the different chords and where these notes lie on the guitar strings at the same time. thank you for uploading this
I love your music style, on top of that you are a great teacher. There are many videos that teaches this kind of stuff but not in a straight forward, easy to digest manner like this. keep it up! I'll become a patron soon!
do some more full tutorial please.. Your so magnificent.. I now find my genra.. The jazz.. You inspired me bro... I love the way you jazz its to cool and awesome!!
Thanks Lucas! I'm smiling while watching your tutorial video. It's amazing how you share your talent with all your viewers. This video was most useful thing I've watched over few minutes. Worth it.
LUCAS PLEASE RELEASE AN ALBUM!!!! I enjoy watching your videos and lessons but man you are one of the dopest musicians I've ever heard! Please point me in the directions of music you've recorded to and whenever COVID is over where you'll be playing live.
dude ive been always seeing older musicians in venezuela do this in guitar a venezuelan cuatro... and always wondered how the f***.. now finally understand it.. hoping for part 2
Hi Lucas.. Hope all is well 👍 This is really a good job dude 👏 U have opened the barriers to Jazz type chords and harmony in a rather simple approach on guitar (..though it is a little difficult for a plectrum guitarist unlike a Classical guitarist..) on these chord shapes and positions..👌 Please keep up this kind sharing mind and promote this unique* CHORD/MELODY style on this loveable instrument..👍 Warm cheers 😊 God bless 🙏🎸🎶
Waw, ...To ommit the 5th of each chord makes it sound so much 'harmonized' and lighter than with 5th included. Also far more suggestive and open to add more notes at a later stage. Thanx, this will save me from years of horrifying agony, life threatening lack of selfconfidence and all creativity abandoning me everytime i try to create a melody to find out it's too hard to harmonize..;lol. Looking forward to try it out and how it works to harmonize chromatic notes added to a melody ect.. Accidently bumped into your video, will check out some more of them !
dropping the fiftg is very common in jazz chord voicings, since your ear has enough information from just the root, 3rd and 7th to figure out what the chord is
I've been playing the guitar for 7 years and I really like jazz and your videos as well. But I never learned jazz and I have no clue what chords you play. I really want to learn how to harmonize melodies like you. Really tasty stuff. Pls, do Part 2. (I would be interested in walking bass too)
Hey dude, you are awesome! Please, bring to Us something advanced about chord invertions, walking bass, voicings and passage chords! Really reaaly nice to meet you Lucas, greatings from Uruguay!
Just "walk" the bass line from one chord to the next one playing every note from the scale in between the chords. If you're in C major, going from I to V (first and fifth degrees of the scale), or C major 7 (Cmaj7 or CM7) to G minor 7 (Gmin7 or G7), you can play C, D, E, F during Cmaj7 and the moment it goes to Gmin7 you hit G. Let's say Cmaj7 plays for a whole bar on a 4/4 signature, you play C D E F on every beat during Cmaj7 then G at the start of Gmin7. Proceed to do that with every chord.
This is great. When I learn more chords and am more comfortable with the notes all around the fretboard, I need to come right back here! Video saved, and channel subscribed.
Great video, a tip for voiceover audio, theres a noticable difference in the main shot's audio and the title slides audio. All you have to do to make this sound better is record the voiceover parts in the same environment you recorded the lesson. And then on top of that record a minute of the room tone (just sit silently) and you can paste that throughout the entire video. This way the transitions are seemless and when you fade in or out (wether it be your voice or playing) the audience wil not notice a difference. I hope this made sense, you helped me so i wanted to help you. Its a small audio tip but really adds to the production value without much extra work.
