I know I may seem like a beggar, a guy who just keeps asking, but I'm a 15-year-old young man, my name is Francisco, I live in Brazil and I'm simply a beginner guitarist. I came here to ask you, can you help me with just one thing, can you give me a good and current pedalboard, I can't afford one, and when I do, it came broken, I can be honest, I want to play guitar in my church but Due to lack of money, I can't do it. you're a humble guy I know, so please can you donate me a Flamma fx200, I really like it but even though here it's at least one thousand and eight hundred reais, it's still very complicated for me and I know that your country, besides being a First world country, that is, a very good country, it is much cheaper than here, so I ask with all my heart, can you help me play for Christ, that's all I ask. The peace of Christ, I hope this message reaches the person who will help me. Amen.sorry google translate ruins a lot of words❤
@@Sacrim hopefully, I’m def going to see. Would love to freshen up a lot of my old guitar skills and learn more theory. Love his teaching methods so even if it’s pricey I have a feeling it’s worth the investment
5:17 Since Brandon didn’t want to try to help anyone here’s a couple tips to fix these problems. Try to stop messing up, the problem usually will away. You can also just not do it in the first place and you won’t have these problems. Good luck hope this helps 👍🏼
What has helped me a lot mastering bending is these tips: -Pick the note with one hand, then bend the string with the other (this really work) -When bending, bend the string to produce the desired note -When releasing, to stop the others strings from ringing out, you should not make them ring out
You need to find out what makes the unwanted string sound out. For me I realized my nails were catching onto the string above the one I was bending. All I had to do was angle my fingers away from the fretboard slightly and go lower on my finger pads to bend. Cutting nails is also a big hack for fast playing.
Actually it's a common occurance even among professional guitarist. Because you have to think of the correct fingering for the bend before it even happens, especially since he's coming out of that slide, that would be 2 notes in advance. If you had time to practice your line many times you can figure out the optimal fingering, but it gets really hard when improvising
10:04 about this, since both words come from italian the correct pronunciacion would be "Trémolo" and "Arpeggiòs" but every word gets localized obviously. We here use these pronunciations as well as the correct pronunciation for like "Andànte", "Adagiétto" and stuff like that
I bought the backing tracks! Thank you for making them so affordable, you're a real one. I literally went and asked my GF for an euro, cuz I had none on my account at that moment. She sent me it and I bought it.
Brandon, still the best teach on youtube. Appreciate your content, man, and hope for more stuff. A continuation on different scales and how to train them would be amazing.
woah I hit this ages ago, thought I would be clicking through these like "damn gotta learn that", but instead I was like "well yeah, and yup, and yeah"
I started tapping a few months ago and today I stumbled onto your channel. I started playing live recently (original music) with my drummer (childhood best friend) I started playing electric guitar 16 months ago and put in serious hours most days I play 6+hours a day. I lost a lot of time, I first picked up an acoustic in 2015 at 15 years old and if I hadn’t of been a pu**y I would of switched to electric as a teenager but I didn’t I was intimidated by all my guitar gods and a life changing crisis 2 years ago made me go for it. I’m gonna check out your channel as I catch up on wasted time. And im accepting the more complex tapping challenge, at the very least I’ll gain speed for my live playing Thanks.
I thought I was a noob, but after watching this I can honestly say that I am intermediate player because I can do everything you showed technically good 😅
For bare chords I practiced with acoustic guitar to get more strenght on my index finger. For tapping I recommend the riff from Silvera by Gojira. For trémolo picking any black metal song would be perfect but I recommend Mother North by Satyricon. I think practice with songs you likes its better 😅
Practice barring with an acoustic is brilliant Good one. Though every intermediate should have bars done in their history. But for strength and to be articulate......this tip is again BRILLIANT
Finger strength/ agility and spacial awareness (knowing where the strings are without looking) are the only things that make you a good guitar player. When you have those things, the rest comes easy
So basically, he added pinch harmonics in the last improvisation...hopefully I know how to do it but for the other guitarists who are on cigarettes or just beginners, this is a little strange 😅
I learned all this from my grandpa on my 4th day of trying, is that good guys? (not being pick me I seriously do not know how long noob to intermediate takes).
@BrandonDeon I checked your backing track link but the "Get Tracks" and "Download Now" buttons just redirects to the FAQ section. I've tried with a VPN as well. Can you take a look and let me know when the site is fixed?
Tapping and Trills are what I need to work on. This 13/8 Riff sounds awesome!!!. Besides that im kinda ego boosted cause with everything else im comfortable. Actually cool to see the time you invest actually pays of somewhat. Well besides improv. Dont care for that at all.
2:33 why exactly is it wrong though? Is it just the fact that most people feel more comfortable that makes angling your fingers better? If i already feel completely comfortable keeping my fingers straight should i even bother changing my technique?
It's because you can end up with your fingers below the other strings, I have a cheap strato and the strings are quiet high for an electric (this is the lower I can go without having freting noise or whatever is called) so I have tu use the wrist to avoid that
There is no right or wrong. If you ask me the thumb over neck technique is better because you get a fulcrum point to bend. But if you watch the polyphia guys they always bend using the legato grip. So there's no right or wrong way. If it sounds good and feels right it's fine.
One thing that is difficult for me are playing trills up and down the neck going from one string to another. Not picking with my right hand often if at all, primarily using my left hand. Is there a good practice routine for that? Or should I just keep doing what I do, which are doing hammer-ons and pulloffs on each string on each fret up and down the neck, top to bottom, getting faster until the transition from string to string become fluid?
I would say tapping is niche to style. If your a metal guitarist I could see it, but I've never seen Brent Mason tap. Tremolo picking definitely falls into this category as well, and I almost want to bundle finger picking into this as well, but hybrid picking crosses into lots of styles.
learn some easy songs that use fingerpicking talking about improvising, learning notes on the low E and basic major/minor pentatonic shapes would be enough to start. after you got used to them, start practice with backing tracks and let your hands do some stuff using pentatonic shapes
