This is one of those things players like me do and don't realize they do, and when they understand there's a method to their madness, it's a light bulb moment. Cool to actually understand the "math behind the music" and feel like i'm more in control of what i'm doing because I understand a little more of what I'm doing.

That's awesome dude! The same thing happened to me when I realized I was doing this type of thing and had that same lightbulb moment. Thanks for watching!

I’ve been playing over 30 years and wish I could do it all over again. I’m improving allot in the last 5 years or so with the novel concept of actually practicing. My whole career I essentially noodled. I wasn’t a natural and assumed that’s what guitar was and to some degree it is. Some people are just naturally take red and you can tell very quickly, but the majority of us aren’t. So I made my peace that I’d always suck at guitar. I never once practiced picking technique, never learned much more than the first 2 positions of the major, minor and blues scales and then I’d just switch root position on the chord changes and play in the 1 or 2 positions there. For years I played but never bothered to learn anything or even truly practice in the practice sense. I played often but I never actually practiced something to improve it just mindlessly played the same licks hoping they’d sound better. So much of guitar is not a mysterious Bigfoot that only some people see. It’s nose to the grindstone almost left brained math. So many patterns that sound musical are not artistic persay but rather formulaic. The image I always had in my head was of this other worldly artist who just heard things no oft else could imagine and somehow their fingers were able to replicate these sounds as they occurred in their head. That’s likely true for the greats but you don’t need that to be a really really good guitarist. Playing guitar is as much about a person who could crack a code, or solve a cross word puzzle, or guess the answer in a game of hangman quickly. It’s about being clever as much as it is artistic. And when you try to actively learn you will realize this. I’ll never be an amazing artist but I can be a very good guitarist and that’s all I wanted to be. Thanks to guys like this out there!

That is very well said. It's true that the process of improvement is formulaic and methodical. Playing licks can be pattern based, and through that process your ear begins to recognize similar and common patterns. This is how you get to the point of hearing something and having your fingers just go there on the fretboard. There was a time I was completely unable to do that, but through methodical practice of planned out ideas like enclosure, articulation and some others my ear learned how to do that. Keep up the hard work and anybody can get there, it has nothing to do with inborn talent, simply hard work.You're on the right path!

Exactly the way I’ve been playing (lol). Great idea, so many ways to play guitar, just as you said not playing a scale up and down, play the 2 outside notes and then the inside note(s) really great! I like your teaching and also you said put a rhythm to it( not to sound robotic)Thanks

These enclosure licks are similar to ragtime licks.

@MaxRichMusic Жыл бұрын

They definitely can be...some of that has to do with the fact that jazz players use enclosure a lot and the ear tends to associate techniques like this with genres in which they're often used. But like the last lick or the first one, you can essentially incorporate enclosure into any style.

I’m a roofing contractor so I’m always working with my hands and I often gets injuries mostly minor but occasionally more severe. This one time I fell and dislocated my right index finger and cracked my right scapula. Needless to say I was in a sling for almost 2 months. I happen to play a really cool instrument called the harpejji. I was so frustrated because I couldn’t use my dominant hand. Out extreme frustration I used those couple of months to increase the speed and dexterity of my weaker left hand. My point is we can often use our disadvantage to our advantage.
