A while back ? More like a year ago 😂😂😂 Glad to have you back I'm a real fan of your work You're the reason I took playing the guitar seriously Thank you and greetings from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Good to have you back man. It would be awesome if you could make a practise routine or in orders that one should watch your videos to get a comprehensive understanding of theory and music as a whole. Once again great to have you back. Missed your work
Everyone learns in a unique way. It's the same fundamental material a thousand other instructors cover, but for some reason the way you organize and present it just dovetails very nicely with my way of thinking. The other instructors just never clicked with me but your lessons do. Thank you so much!
Been loving your lessons for years. An idea for another type of video: a backing style track of just the chord pad, a click, and one of the superb licks every 8 measures. So we can immediately mimic along with it. AND please reveal how you create/record that juicy tone.
10 years ago I clicked "Beginner" on your web site Today I have my own students and play professionally Glad you're still uploading, thanks for everything
I found your youtube channel about 3 years ago, subscribed and was eagerly waiting for your return. I always waited for the bell to ring and I couldn't believe it when it rang! Greetings from Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Glad to see you back king. Your lessons gave me a real theory boost. And as a user requested for practice techniques, i would wish the same but i believe your lesson plans are theoreticals not practicals. But we're all open to more learning. Godspeed guitarman
Thank you that means a lot. In terms of generic lesson plans, it's difficult because lesson plans are individual (or at least should be). I would need to establish your personal goals, current ability, time availability etc. That's really something for a personal tutor to work with you on. But I hope I can at least offer some inspiration in terms of new concepts, even if you come to them later in your learning journey.
I'm absolutely delighted see you back. It's not that I've needed any more material. Just knowing you're around is what's important. I've made it 3 minutes into this lesson. What a great lesson. Is it just me hearing some of "Jessica" in there?
You have such a distinct guitar voice, and it’s consistent in all your videos. What guitar do you use and with what pickups? As far as effects it sounds like a bit of crunch and delay, maybe a bit of room reverb if I’m not mistaken.
Thanks! I use a Gibson Les Paul, stock 490R/498T pickups (I think!), going through a Boss GT-001 (an old desktop processor). I tend to use plugins in Audacity (post reverb, delay, compression etc.) but sometimes Guitar Rig with the Tube Screamer emulator.
I understand some of this, say 1 3 5 with the 2 = the Major +2 (2=9th) pattern. But I am not seeing these M+2 M+4 etc... t Relationships to the diatonic chords. This would be a nice and fast method of making fills over a progression. If it was fast to see while improvising. Iam I just slow or am I missing something
You could see it as one fragment of the scale over those diatonic chords. Yes, it works best as fills or lead-ins/lead-outs for those broader scale movements. But the reason I wanted to demonstrate these patterns is because they touch on colour tones over all the diatonic chords in the form of a melodic pathway. It's just an available option we can use in the moment (similar to the tonic maj7 arpeggio) and connect to other phrases over chords.
hey frettjam keep doing what you are doing i really aprreciate.Also i had this question if lets say we got a melody or part of song to play lead on guitar or a solo. 1) do you listen intervals while listening to solo or melody 2)do you then try to gett it on guitar or you just play the intervals 3) when you play lead lines or solo or improv are you aware parallely like i bent from b7 to 1 and then this lick and then 3 and 4 pulloff 5 in mind and do you see iuntervals on fretboard 4 ) if yes pls tell me a roadmap to follow along so that i can reach that level
Hey there, thanks for your time! 1) Yes I try to listen to and identify the interval structure being played when I hear a melody (even chord or progression). Sometimes it's too quick for that to be realistic! But most of the time I'm listening for that "distance" between notes, which can be translated through interval knowledge and ear training (minor 3rds, major 3rds, 5ths, 6ths etc.). It's a great skill for cutting down the time it takes to pick up music by ear. The more you expose yourself to the sound of individual and then collective intervals (e.g. arpeggios and scales), the more you start to intuitively pick them out in melodic passages you hear. 2) Not sure I understand this question. If I'm translating a melody, I just translate to the best of my ability what I hear to a kind of spatial awareness that has come from studying intervals and their "distance" across frets. Finding the key (tonic chord) of the piece is fundamental as a starting point. 3) Kind of, I don't necessarily have a conversation about intervals in my head while playing, but the action does appear as a familiar spatial awareness which comes from a broader pattern on the fretboard related to the chords I'm playing over (typically an arpeggio or scale). Studying intervals is just a way of internalising the sound and visual space of a movement, so it can be replicated more intuitively as time goes on. 4) This video was one way of devising an initial roadmap over chords, between arpeggio and scale form. I'm currently redeveloping and expanding my "Ultimate Roadmap" course which is available (in current form) on Patreon. I want to include a more integrated approach for arpeggios and scales for different chords in a key. Remember this is all mostly about patterns and how we move around and integrate them seamlessly. And there is always major and minor pentatonic to fall back on and integrate, knowing where they exist within the given key.
@@fretjamguitar when you say distance between notes dies that mean distance between adjacent notes or notes from roots .Pls clarify and thank you for answering my question
It's more about introducing a horizontal/vertical pattern that breaks from the linear, step-wise movements a lot of us get trapped in when learning scales. Like I said in the video, they're not supposed to be reiterated over every single chord. But they do offer us a melodic pathway through chord changes that we can link up with other more improvised movements.
I'm sorry about that. I'm always very conservative with my ad placement (what little control I have over that - RU-vid throws them in regardless). How many ads did you see throughout the video?
