Agreed 👍

All chords will be uploaded soon!

Thank you so much!

Bei den meisten Gitarristen ist das zu einem bestimmten Punkt so, es gibt ja auch Stile wo man mit Scales prima klarkommt. Es freut mich, dass mein Video für dich eine Hilfe ist. Viele Grüße!

Beim wiederholten sehen stellt sich mir die Frage was "avoid notes" für dich ausmacht? Hast du Lust das kurz zu umschreiben? Danke im voraus

@@joelove7662 Töne die man vermeiden sollte. Je nachdem wie man klingen möchte und welchen Stil man spielen will, sind das auf ein und demselben Akkord manchmal ganz unterschiedliche Töne. Grundsätzlich kann man ja spielen was man will, aber Stile zu lernen und Regeln zu befolgen verschafft uns ja anfangs überhaupt erst die Möglichkeit differenziert und akkurat zu musizieren, denke ich jedenfalls 😉

@@SvenJungbeck Danke für deine schnellen Antworten. Ich bin schon häufiger über den Begriff der "avoid notes" gestolpert und konnte leider keine "richtige Definition" finden. Habe es mir bisher halt nur selbst zusammen gereimt was damit gemeint ist. Meine Überlegung war folgende: Avoid notes sind grundsätzlich alle Töne auf denen man nicht "landen" sollte beim isolieren. So wären , bei einem normalen dur Dreiklang die Stufen 2,4,6 und 7 avoid notes. Also alle Töne die nicht im aktuellen Dreiklang enthalten sind. Kann man das so generell sagen?

Coming soon!

I struggle here too, but once it is firmly in your nut that the 3rd of G is B and they are interchangeable, it might increase your flexibility, as you would know that the 3rd of G is also the 5th of E, the 6th of D and so on. Actually this has given me an idea for an ear training exercise: play the B against G, then E, D etc. What do you think?

​@@dingoswampheadI'm entering this conversation 3 years later, the approach that's working better on me is playing all diatonic chords with 7 as well, checking all the intervals, the triads and the note names xD so everything all together basically would be the best in my opinion. Because of the fact that I transcribed all of the diatonic arpeggios in all the positions and I strongly use the name of the notes rather than the number of them in the diatonic arpeggios when I get into improvising on a scale mode shape for example or just if I think about it like 'starting from a string' rather than from a position, but and the same time while moving across the fretboard using the very same diatonic arpeggios to improvise I tend to search for the intervals first, while thinking about what chord arpeggio I'm playing at least,

Hi, That's how it works! Being the music instead of playing a scale patterns "to" the music. 😀👌

@@SvenJungbeck Awesome. Sounds a bit daunting, but I'm very excited about changing the way I approach soloing. Thanks so much!

@@SvenJungbeck Oh, that reminds me of one further question. When the rhythm player plays those quick (1 or 2 strum) embellishment chords in between the main chords (like to walk the bass or something), do you follow that in your solo and briefly use the new triad, or is it so quick you can ignore it? I would think you might need to follow them, but the rhythm player often adds those embellishment chords in on the spot, right? So you wouldn't know beforehand where to go next.

@@cscochran no need to follow! Think simple in the melody. These passing chords are not recognized by one's ear as new harmonies that matter. We tend to hear harmony in its most direct meaning, even if people are not educated at all. So we hear - this is tonic like - subtonic like - that goes there.... etc

@@SvenJungbeck Great, makes sense. Thanks!

Oh I would also like pdfs of the proper chords series, do you have this as a Patreon bonus which I could subscribe or just make a donation for?

Hey, concerning the note names I can say, that the way you organize your stuff doesn't matter, as long as you got the fretboard under your control. Stochelo Rosenberg for example, I played gigs with him, talked to him. He says" I don't know any theory " that's actually not true. Only thing he doesn't know are the terms to name it. If you find the notes it doesn't matter, but for not so talented players it's an additional help. And that's not meant to sound disrespectful. It's a vast range of talent and I'm surely not a genius. But however you do it. You need the sounds precisely at your command. Against a donation I can send you my chord glossary and minor swing plus Troublante Bolero in detail. The chord glossary contains all important voicings from the same root. So you got to move them yourself. All the best, Sven!

This is a steel string guitar !

@@SvenJungbeck the headstock threw me for a loop. Great lesson, though!

Hi Andre, Just give me your email! I can send you a chord glossary. Then you can PayPal me on my email: Sven.jungbeck9@gmail.com What you consider as decent.😉 What do you think?

You picked a hell of a genre to not like theory...😂

as far as theory goes this was very very light. merely just talking about intervals to add color.
