The Hendrix/Frusciante Triad Trick 

you know I have been playing since 2 years right now. I create myself a schedule (but I am not sure is the right one) mainly to improve my legato and alternate picking, learning music theory and so on but still I feel there is something missing and precisely how to connect all what I have learned in a way that I can pick up a guitar and do something original. I was wondering if you give private lessons on Skype lets say, because I really need someone to asses my level and tell me in which direction to go. My aim is to reach your current level.

Ross Campbell you have some of the lamest tattoos

@@LoveRocketsable Yeah, but the shirt's cool...pfft...no it isn't.

Chuck Lawson Thanks Chuck!

Dragonaut But what about second breakfast? Elevenses? Luncheon? Afternoon tea?

Dragonaut Billy Boyd (Pippin) is from Glasgow, Scotland. Just FYI.

Timothy Evans Boooooom thanks

Dragonaut nah, he sounded pretty Scottish to me. Funny though, they all sound completely different, even though they're all from the shire, which is NOT a big place. Frodo definitely had the fakest accent though.

Well I'm american. And I can tell the difference between an accent from Wales, London, Ireland, and Scotland (don't get me started on women's irish accents, holy hell). Harry Potter here may as well don his hobbit armor and slay some orcs. With all that said, I liked his guitar lesson ha.

Same, man! Have been playing guitar for 20 years now, in 4 hours I learned more from him than I did in 20 years. I could play the guitar, but mostly just play what other artists created, practicing for hours to be able to recreate Hendrix songs, without really understanding what I was playing or why it had to be played there, it was always very frustrating and every time I tried to learn theory it was very boring and without being applied to the instrument, which was maddening and hard to understand. This guy is a genius as a player but mostly as a teacher, it's so easy to understand and every 10 minutes I'm having an eureka moment "THAT'S THE REASON OF THIS BEING PLAYED THERE", damn, haven't been this excited to study the guitar since I started playing it.

Going to look

LexLuthier1 Yo Lex,I used to go to wrestling matches at the Bell Auditorium in the mid 1970's,first heard of Hendrix in South Augusta,I went to Barton Chapel Elementary School. A friend of mine had the Album Are You Experienced.

Glad you got value from it!

Glad to hear that Peter!

That's what I like to hear. Glad this helped you Ira

Awesome, thanks! :)

Exactly! It's extremely useful once we know the reason. I have been expanding my solo and rhythm playing abilities using these "bits of the chord" concepts. They fit like a glove over the chords being played and help to break out of the limited box of playing only pentatonic scales all the time. I find that when there is a chord change, if I focus on playing a piece of that chord or a few notes of it, my playing sounds so much better and more melodic. Of course the scale notes and chromatics are great for connecting from chord to chord.

Thank you :)

Thanks so much Matthew

Glad you think so!

I really appreciate that Christopher, thank you!

I can only second that. You have a very informative, calm way of explaining your thoughts without overcomplicating things. Definitely subbed and looking forward to seeing more of you!
