@tomspallone1868 7 лет назад

Sean Daniel I'm on it...

@78tag 7 лет назад

I'm in the same boat Tom. I was given piano lessons for two years back in the early 60's. I stopped working at it because I wasn't being taught anything that interested me. I wanted Chubby Checker and got classical training. Too young and unmotivated to realize I should have just done it on my own. Someone said "never to late" in these comments. Oh Yeah - picked up stringed instruments late in life and couldn't be happier about that decision. (or the choice to start watching these videos - stuff this good wasn't available back in the day, you had to get lucky and run into someone as good as these guys that would be willing to help)

@tomspallone1868 7 лет назад

78tag well said, my friend.

This is the best and clearest explanation of pentatonic scales I’ve ever heard.

@seandaniel23 6 лет назад

@RobertMurphy-wm3ge 7 лет назад

EXCELLENT explanation. I have been playing blues/metal/rock forever and have only recently been dabbling in the major scale.

@alberta1939 7 лет назад

holy shit!!! Sean, man... I don't know if you'll see this but 15+ years of playing and I've ALWAYS avoided the major pentatonic, avoided the relative minor thing out of fear! this makes SO much sense now! I can't thank you guys enough for this lesson. I've been at it all day today and can already hear a complete difference! thank you!!! THANK YOUUU!!!

@seandaniel23 7 лет назад

+Albert A so great to hear man!! Thanks for reaching out and keep rocking it!!

@sciarro94 8 лет назад

that's the first time I saw an actual explanation of the difference between the two scales instead of a "teacher" just shredding on a guitar. thanks for the lessons and stay classy!

Dude I've been plucking around on the strings for about a year now and have learned all this shapes and bought a fretboard atlas but never understood the how and when to use it because most channels just show the shapes and that's it. Thanks brotha man!

You two are like a WMD for the youtube guitar theory community. Really enjoy when you two do videos together, you both have a way of complementing the other for a full picture of the points you are trying to teach. Thanks for the good vids keep it up well appreciated :)

@D28wt 5 лет назад

Good shit boys. I was working on some Deep Ellem Blues this morning and this helped me get my Jerry on a bit... Guitar playing is like walking around in a huge dark house and every once in a while a light comes on, inviting you into a new room. You walk in and have a look around. You might leave. You might stay, but that light stays on going forward. That's your room now. The goal is to get that house lit up like a Christmas tree and bounce around like it's a cocktail party and you're the host. Amirite?

@seandaniel23 5 лет назад

Thanks for watching! Totally agree.

@noahspray5560 3 года назад

So here is my story. Uh, great video guys, thanks for it. So I have been been playing for awhile. Trying to play along with recordings of some easy songs. Strumming chords mostly. Having fun. I can't sing along and it drives me crazy. As soon as I try to sing and play, my strumming hand just goes nuts. So I thought, ok I will record myself playing and then try to sing along with my recording. Maybe that will train my brain. And WOW! It was so bad. There was no way to sing along with myself. I don't know what to do now. I'm thinking of giving up.

Finally I fucking understand major vs minor. It just didn't make sense to me that you play the exact same notes, it's the damn context as you said. If there is no context or reference point there is no minor nor major. Right? If not I'm fucking gonna cry Y__Y

You guys are bringing a new clarity to the human guitar race. Love this. (PS.

@sjd5750 8 лет назад

Love your Vids, guys..Very informative..One problem..Duane didn't play on Jessica…Jessica was written by Chuck Leavell, Keyboardist who joined the band post Duane's death..Leavell's addition was to introduce a different sound with the piano to replace the duel guitar sound, for the album Brother's and Sister's, because they didn't feel anyone could replace Duane's guitar…Brother's and sister's is a nice album, but a big departure from what we came to know as the ABB, previously.

@seandaniel23 7 лет назад

I just learned that and my mind is blown! I can't believe I was wrong about that essentially my entire life! Thanks for the feedback.

@sjd5750 7 лет назад

It's ok..I alway's thought Leavell wrote the piece but only just now read it was Betts who wrote it…We learn something new all the time.

@namebrand14 8 лет назад

I'm sure you get plenty of suggestions but I think it would be super cool if you made a series based on your 5 biggest guitar influences. For example if you made one video about Jimi Hendrix licks and stuff that you adopted, and then another video on Brian May and things that you learned from him. And continue though all of your top guitar influences.

@seandaniel23 7 лет назад

That's a great idea David. Stay tuned!
