Rick said,”if you don’t know what to practice,that’s a problem” I can tell you from being self taught and learning the hard way as well as from teaching that should should practice those things you hate to practice! And I’m only half kidding. Of course you don’t want to end up hating practice,but I can guarantee that if you just practice willy nilly you will make little progress. Practice those things which don’t come easily for you.If you have ever heard someone play that is a self taught beginner you know that they play the same things over and over.They play what they know and what comes easily. You have to break that tendency and focus on a routine as if you have a teacher.Give yourself assignments and practice those until you can do them .Here is the most important thing: stop avoiding those things which you find difficult.

This is the most useful tip for any intermediate player that's hit a "plateau". It's advice we all know but choose not to acknowledge all of the time because it means we're have to traverse uncomfortable ground. Great tip!

You’re right. I’m self taught and it took me 25 years to know what I know now.

Yes, you are very right about that. It's very easy to get distracted playing a part from a song you learned. You really have to resist that urge.

Most of my soloing work over the years has been trying to get the right balance between variation and repetition, using different rhythms and dynamics, learning to take breaks and not overplay. Now I'm working more on note choice, targeting chord tones, and playing over more complex changes, and it's a headache, but slowly getting better. Your videos and the Beato Book has helped me a lot on the path already!

Since finding your channel Ive picked up the guitar after not playing for a hundred years. Computers have made me lazy. LOL! When I was a kid I was the solo king. I had a great ear and could improvise over almost anything with all of the emotion and expression I could summon from within. After 20 years of not playing the guitar and writing only film scores, there was no improvising in my workflow ... hindering my ability to improvise. I have lost whatever I had that gave me the ability to solo. Videos like this one is helping me find what ever I had as an improviser when I was younger. A tremendous thank you

Rick: Thanks for the inspiration. I'm in the process of becoming your biggest fan here. IDEA: rather than use software, you can "comp" your own chord sequences using a loop station. Then you become proficient at comping as well, and this sort of practice may lead to your being able to accompany yourself live, with or without the loop station. Just a thought.

Perhaps one of the luckiest accidents when I started playing the guitar - bearing in mind I had done a bit of Piano for a couple of years, so I had a loose idea of key theory - but coming to the guitar I felt that had all been a bit boring for me, so I wanted to throw myself in at the deep end... so what I decided to do, without any real guidance form anyone, was to just put the radio on and try to play along. I'm sure it sounded horrible for the first few months, but eventually something just clicked, and my fingers just knew where to be. This was what started me off as an improvisational guitarist, up to that point I hadn't really converted any of my theory knowledge from Piano to Guitar, so that came laster, but my fingers... they knew what they were doing! Seems this app you're recommending is a nice alternative :-)

@Nipsu_uspiN 5 жыл бұрын

I have a simular background. First I learned how to play alomg by ear and my fingers just did the thing they were supposed to. Not perfectly ofcourse. Even nowadays I rely more on my ear and fingers even though I'm at a decent level on theory.

Awesome lesson, @Rick Beato! I love iReal B and I also use Band-in-a-Box for creating my own backing tracks with samples of real players for jamming and coming up with solo ideas. The way you build on motifs and create logical phrases in here is very helpful for this kind of practice.

I've had iRealPro for about twelve years, and it's really great for practising. I just wish I'd had it forty years earlier when I had the time to devote several hours a day to practice. That time would have been so much more productive. It's really good for learning to solo over ii V I changes when you're learning jazz without having to keep up with a recording, or if there's a song with unusual changes.

@billsybainbridge3362 5 жыл бұрын

Perfect advice (12:20) - the "Formatic" structure of phrasing, just like in spoken language, needs a phrase: "I like cats", then a sentence: "I like cats because they are warm and fuzzy", then a paragraph (a verse or chorus), then a chapter (the finished song), then a novel (an album). The cool thing, as "call and response" allows interplay between two ideas, you can use humor for contrast, as in "I like cats>>without their fleas>>I like cats>>they make me sneeze", and extend the initial two-part Formatic with variations that add, exchange, or recapitulate with modification on the basic binary structure. Binary is important to structure because human beings primarily feel rhythms in twos. Yes, there are other "counts" of rhythm, but "Binary is Primary".

@vindalooshaker 5 жыл бұрын

i could hear out "without the fleas" and "they make me sneeze" as note bends and this whole explanation became much more clearer and interesting. good stuff.

@DeGuerre 5 жыл бұрын

Just as a matter of history, "motive" was the original word used in music theory jargon to translate the German word "Motiv". All textbooks before the 60s (including Schoenberg's "Fundamentals of Music Composition", which is a must read) used that word. "Motif" is correct, of course, but it's more recent.

@marvinshenk 5 жыл бұрын

@15 min, that was the type of thing I was playing earlier today. It started as me playing hammer ons to get warmed up, then I came up with a pattern that cycled from the A string down to the B string using half step hammer ons that sounded cool. The guitar is endless when it comes to ideas. I'm ok on guitar, but I can't play super fast string changing solos, so I alway try to come up with odd stuff and a lot of chromatic playing, and lines using octaves.

iReal pro is mac only. I am not mug enough to buy anything from Apple, so make do with looping sections of tabs in Guitar Pro or use backing tracks on KZfaq. A drone note is handy for learning modes too. Still can't pick like Yngwie though. Left handed but play right handed, so i do not think I ever will be able to unless i flip my guitar upside down and start over -- and that ain't going to happen, because of the tricks, dogs, and old thing. Legato it is then.
