Small change... HUGE difference in your guitar playing

Sometimes the smallest little change you make in your guitar playing can make a huge difference. As students sometimes tell me, all you need is one little idea... and that little idea can radically improve your guitar playing, sound, ability, creativity, so much more.
Improve your guitar solos and picking technique by practicing the exercises from this guitar lesson and incorporating the "up a fourth" roll-over technique in your own solos and jamming.

Great video! one of the most useful I've ever seen , it's funny that almost nobody on KZfaq teaches the most used technique that is what almost the greatest guitarists have in common the 3 fingers as well for rock music is mostly the easier even if not the " correct one" I would say the guitar teaching and KZfaq teaching needs people easy like you, it's like teaching for children and you can't be difficult with them , the effect in your way is enormous and quick to me after years spent practicing and playing in bands but also loosing time to understand what I want and I can do thank you very much

Hey Blue, we have the same name...sort of. Unfortunately for me we dont have the same skill level on guitar. But the way you explain the fretboard is like I've finally found someone who speaks english. Could be because I'm Canadian too. You make it so logical, like some de-mystifying guitar guru. I literally lol when i follow your exercises and finally understand whats coming out of my hands. Its like I cant unlearn what you've shown me so far. You are a talented musician and educator and I can't thank you enough.

Enjoy your lessons. I'm an older learner and working on my scales. I didn't understand you explaining up a fourth. What was the fourth. I understand rollover. Hope its not to dumb of a question. Thanks.

@johncary4302 Жыл бұрын

Say you're playing the d string, 7th fret. Playing up a fourth would be hopping up to the g string 7th fret as the next note. That transition is playing up a fourth. Since all of the strings on the guitar, save the b string, are tuned in fourths with respect to the string next to them, all you have to do in order to play a fourth is stay on the same fret but just jump from string to string. Hope that helps.

@GuitarLessonsVancouver Жыл бұрын

You got it John! Another way to think of it is simple math: If A is 1, then D is 4. But it's easier to just think "up a string."

It was the hardest thing that I ever had to learn. harder than playing the open position chords and changing chords with the beat. Harder than connecting the pentatonic patterns. harder than playing a scale run across the whole neck and across all the strings in multiple methods.

Yes they have numbers 1 to 5, but as I teach then I use Nicknames which helps students to visualize them. That way they learn them faster and it's easier to communicate. Too many times I would say shape 4 or whatever and just see a blank stare in the student's face haha.
