Even though I can't do it (yet) I followed along with fairly good understanding. I have to thank you for such clarity in your teaching that you bring us along. I appreciate your skill as a teacher.
Me too , I'm trying to practice a different scale now. I've known one my whole life and that is either E or E minor , can't remember but I play the hell out of that 1 scale. Keep at it , I'm sure you'll do better than I have.
@@rodneysnextchapter615 If you learn the right music theory, it can really save you time and provide those “Ah HA” moments. Then there’s theory that’s more suited for trivia contests. Getting familiar with scale intervals and chords in a key will take you a long way! 🎸🎶🔥
These are good points. Another strategy is to work visually, with minimal theory knowledge (that'll come). Learn just one minor pentatonic scale shape, and chord shapes (using CAGED). To improvise a solo on the spot, first, know what key you're playing in. If it's a major key, the scale shape will work either in the position you learned, or thee frets to the left, when it magically becomes a major scale. If the key is minor, then the shape will really work only in the first position. Then, hit some notes from that scale, and notes that match whatever chord's being played at that time. This is a simplification, but it works, and is a good starting point, especially if you find music theory problematic.
I was just thinking something sounds off on the E and A strings. Like it’s too spanky. Like it’s on the verge of buzzing. The other strings sound fantastic.
Guilty as charged! I can hit speed bag and make it sound like a tap dancer. But put me in a ring and I become Joe Glass Jaw! My guitar playing is the same. 😑
I can tell you what the problem is. These idiots see pros doing it and making it look effortless. So they assume anyone can just pick up s guitar and do it. Sorry, dudes. First, you have to practice, practice, practice. And practice more. Second, you need to have music inside your head that wants to get out. Otherwise, you're not a musician. Sorry. Maybe if you learn enough theory, you can fake it. Otherwise, you'll just have to accept it.
