After purchasing your course listen and play, I have now more better understanding on how to play by ear. Now I’m trying to play my favorite song that I can’t play before by my ear. Thank you Andrew for sharing your talent. I’m looking forward for more helpful course coming from you.
Unstructured creative practice - start with, more relaxed, ease into it . Andrew plays along with songs on spotify, identifying the key, then the chords, then improvising. rhythm practice - done again along with the songs on spotify, but can be done to a metronome. Moving between rhythmic divisions as smoothly as possible, Find the tempo of that song. quarter notes, eight notes, sixteenths, etc. Bounce between them. Can even do it with muted strings. Demonstration at 7mins. Syncopation, random rhythms that fit, freestyle structured practice - now fully warmed up, focus on the hard stuff. New scale, new music theory material, songwriting, etc. bonus tips: When learning licks, understand how they will work in different keys. Copy vocal melodies, try play on the guitar the notes that the vocalist sung.
I have been with your channel for a while now, and I am such a believer in your methods (from personal experience at this point) that I just bought your course first chance I got (pay day lol). Thank you so much for everything you are doing for the beginner-intermediate guitar community! I can't speak for anyone else when I share that I just felt stuck in "how-to-learn" mode for so long, until you came along and put things in terms I can understand, follow, AND instantly start improving upon. My fundamental understanding of music, not just guitar, has absolutely improved my guitar playing in ways I only hoped for before. Long story short, THANK YOU, and please continue to do what you do.
Hey! Thank you so much for your kind words and support. Comments like this are the whole reason I do this stuff. I'm so happy to hear my methods are working for you. And don't worry, there is SO MUCH more to come. Cheers and thank you again ☺🙏
Hey Andrew. Another great video. Thanks for the content and sponsoring yourself. I think that's really cool and I'm definitely going to check out your course. I can't wait for your channel to blow up cause you're definitely on a Paul David's or Marty Music level. Honestly, I think you explain things even clearer than they do sometimes. Keep it up!
This video gave me some ideas for my practice routine. I want to do more songwriting. I like the idea of using part of my practice routine to do something creative. I might work on songwriting ideas during some of my practice time. I also like your rhythm practice technique.
Great lesson with this type, I think your right this is the building blocks ,😅 of lead guitar, I've been using for a while now ☺️ I'm sorda mechanical still working with it though . I just now seen how your supposed use 😂.from tk
Hello just subscribe to your Channel im a 52 now i love playing guitar but after playing for months i end up quitting and playing again.I wanted to learn more and improve and also wanted to know more about your guitar class.I found your channel because of the 4 shapes of triads,by the way thank you so much.
Hey! Thanks for subscribing. I hope you find the videos on the channel helpful. Let me know if there are any specific questions you have about the course or anything else. I'd be happy to answer :)
Sure! I do a longer breakdown of this exact exercise in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VqUuJK-dTx4.html Here's another helpful rhythm lesson as well: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fopY2yNRu68.html
I could use some help with phrasing while playing notes within the scales. I hear the melodic sounds I want to make, but could use some quick videos on building up a vocabulary of sound.
It's really going to depend on where your skills are at. If you can already play bar chords pretty comfortably and don't need to spend time working on that, I'd say you could get through all the material in a week or two. Each step has exercises that you might not be able to master on the first attempt, so it's best to take your time a bit where necessary. I've seen some folks take it much slower than this as well. So it's kind of tough to say for sure 😅
Hi Andrew! I started to learn major scales, and they work really well, and I love play in them, but the problem is that, our band made songs in different keys, and its hard to remember, which scale is in which scale. So my question is, should I learn all the major scales by memorizing them, or there are rules that builds these scale, and I can't learn them instead? Maybe like this I don't have to constantly look at scale charts to learn a scale
Hey! Good question. It's essentially one shape no matter which key you're in. By memorizing the notes on the low E string you can easily move that shape into any key. Watch these videos if you haven't yet: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-geZ9YBD6HtM.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gpJwaidpcm0.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wXZGcgYysNs.html Hope they help!
@@andrewclarkeguitar That's right. Pros: you can do whatever you want without having to learn from anyone. Cons: improvement takes a long time and you may never discover what could be learned in just a few minutes with study/tutelage. I mean, why waste hours of your time learning from people who, over the past 100+ years, have mastered the instrument when you can spend years trying to "figure it out" yourself all for the sake of claiming you're "self-taught"!? Btw, unless you locked yourself in a room for 20 years and never watched another player or listened to any music, you're not self taught. Listening to other people's music, watching them play and then learning... is called _imitation._ Not invention. In reality, you're not self-taught; you're self-limiting.
@@TouchscreamPresents Not really. There are four different "ways" people learn: Visual, Auditory, Read & Write, and Kinaesthetic. People can have a combination of these but most people (about 85%) are primarily _visual_ learners. So no, not everyone learns differently. We learn mostly the same with some small variations. Additionally, if you go back and read what I wrote you'll realize that what I'm prescribing is how to both facilitate and accelerate learning. The main issue in an actual "self-taught" scenario; by definition, is that you must discover new knowledge over time or by chance instead of being shown right away. No other musical discipline does this, why is the guitar so special that people need to be "self-taught" when there is no objective advantage in it?
@@monsterram6617 it might be a cultural thing that's guitar specific... Although I'm getting a sense you're being a bit overly irate about the self-taught description itself so I won't engage any further.
