This is such a great and important Practice tip. As an old coffin dodger, my fingers don't quite work like they used to, so I'm sure this will help and keep me from getting lazy in my playing. Kevin O'Rourke

@stewmcleod7315 4 года назад

That’s very helpful to be more aware of smooth and appropriate transitions with singing the melody. I find I’m immediately more aware of the music, the coordination with left and right hand, the clarity of the note due to focus on the right string pressure /fingering. Hey it sounds better.

@nickmoore4880 4 года назад

A couple months ago I took a lesson and the instructor noticed when I soloed I was leaving a note slightly before I played the next note, leading to a lot of choppiness. I got that all cleaned up and my playing has improved a lot just since then. I'm 5 years into the guitar and I'm starting to sound really OK.

@jerrybean5973 4 года назад

Ian, I spoke to you and Sean on a radio spot last year. I told you my wife gave me the go ahead to purchase a new Strat. This was mainly due to my improvement because of your lessons. While improving on my new Elite Strat, my family said, "You sound like you know how to play!" LOL I can not thank you enough. Keep up these wonderful lessons. Your friend, Jerry.

@stephenbrumlow931 4 года назад

The C-Am-F-G progression is the Ionian mode correct? So would I use the major scale or major pentatonic for soloing improvisation? Or a combination of the two? There are so many great songs from the 50s and 60s that use that chord progression. Stand By Me and Last Kiss instantly come to mind.

@StichMethodGuitar 4 года назад

Yes and yes

@DerEchteBold 4 года назад

Hmm, I can do this easily ...but I still don't sound smooth ; ) The first exercise made me come up with a slightly harder version, play the bass note, the chord ...and then release the rest of the chord and have the bass still ringing, I still find it rather easy but it's a very good exercise and I wouldn't have thought of that myself, thanks!

@lueysixty-six7300 4 года назад

Great lesson! Stumbled into it. I really like the main exercise in the backend that's almost sweeping; the legato finger run that cycles nicely. You know it! Anyway, while it's great for the smoothness exercise as you taught, it's also a great finger exercise. I expect I'll be playing this to TV all week and by next week I'll be sweep picking it, shredder style, just from sheer repitition! It's nice to have something to noodle with that's not pentatonic. Edit: P.S,I subscribed just so I don't lose you in Utube land!

Great lesson. The I IV V minor VI progression (with variations in the order) is a classic. There are so many songs that use it, "Let It Be" by the Beatles being one of the best known. There's a great video by Axis of Awesome on here about it. I don't usually have problems playing legato (my problem is speed but that's an age thing!) but I'll certainly try out your ideas.
