Very glad to hear my friend. Be welcome to the channel

folks, listen to this man right here!

you should have called Mel Bay

You were smart enough to notice, I suggest get over it and use your ears more than your eyes, but your eyes will help too. Break past that frustration.

Hey Dave, very glad to know this was helpful

Wow ! Hello Kampsen! I'm so glad to read your comment! I do believe this information is a door for all guitar players to understand the instrument and a bit of how music works! Once you diggest that and begin to see it applied in everything, it should enlighten your relationship with music making

Thank you bro! Welcome to the channel

There's always something more to learn, isn't there?

Welcome my.friend

As a beginner you ar very fortuned to get this knowledge.

Thank you so much García.. trying to do a good job

I wrote in the description this was a 7 string. Next time I'll say it in the video, sorry about that

Yes, the 7 string tripped me up too.

I thought my glasses had gone wonky until I counted the number of tuning keys. Great video, though. Thanks for sharing.

Merci mon ami

Good thing this helped you

One can learn to play others songs(Guitar Hero), but not understand music or songwriting.

Hey man it really makes me glad to hear that!

Go for it!

Glad it was helpful!

Ditto.

Same here!

Always welcome!

Caged is the fretboard, its not a system, its how the guitar can be understood intrinsically, either that or you can take to trying to learn every note visually for years, you crack on with that buddy ! @@TomGibbons-ll2wy

Welcome bro! It will turn the light on

Thanks man

Welcome friend

😂😂😂❤❤❤😻😻😻

Olhaa que surpresa my noble! Saudades do irmão

Ah thanks man.. you're just being nice.. this channel would not be if it wasnt for you my friend

Sure thing! There are many vídeo lessons here in the channel... subacribe a choose your subject!

Thank you! Be welcome my friend! Make sure to check the music vídeos made with that 7 string here in the channel!

Why would that matter, there is no right or wrong way of playing as long as it sounds okay!

Some of the most iconic solos are just simple, pentatonic scales. Less is more.

Understanding how each of the 12 notes _feel_ against the chord you are playing over _and_ the key you are playing in is the key. How they feel and where they lead you in terms of the next note. That suddenly opens things up so you can not only explore that _extended harmony_ but it also gives you an _exit strategy_ when you hit a _spicy note_ If you want to sound more melodic in your playing, look at using the third of the chord. That’s what makes the chord sound major or minor. Works especially well on chord 5 as that is the note below the root note of the key you are in. It will push the melody to resolution. It gives the melody a sweetness and tension all at once.

@@MidlifeRenaissanceMan thanks, I do that often. I need to get more discipline and learn more technical things instead of just jammin. I enjoy it and it's fun, I'm not gigging or anything like that so it's about joy in the end. I have enough knowledge to have fun. I even bought a sunburst 1961 American vintage ii strat to give myself the motivation but nope 😂. Still too lazy, one day I guess? I've had my made in Japan 62 sunburst reissue strat since 99 and its given me so much through the years.

@@rickysubie it’s all about having fun. I only took up guitar, as a performance instrument just on 11 years ago, in my 40s. Working on my singing now. Played bass for decades though, so I had experience working at a professional level I tend to practice my craft rather than just learn songs or tricks. More working on how to adapt and integrate something into my playing, discovering how to make something stick, or work out a melody through some chord changes that makes for a tasty and more textured feel. While I rarely use theory to guide me, I’ll use it far more often to analyse and give language to what I’ve played. A few well placed interesting notes can more than make up for a flurry of minor pentatonic notes.

Haha, if you say so bro...

Thank you much man! I do offer lessons online

Right on I agree

Of course my friend. It will be a pleasure to take you on as a student. Just send me a message. Heres my whatsapp 55 48 99967 1344. Or reach me through Instagram.

My aunt made is for me by hand. Isn't it precious?

Welcome bro. Hope it helps!

Caged is king, brother.

I know there was a bit a echo there, but to say you cant understand me, thats pushing it

Sorry I wanted to hear, understand and take away from your wise words. I meant no disrespect, just trying to make you aware that some of us (me 74 y/o) older musicians may not have the best hearing anymore. @@FelipeCoelhoGuitar

True. I mentioned it on the description though ! Thank you my friend

Oh, in the description! Oh, right, right, right. Good for you boyo 👍. Write it down. Why say it IN THE VIDEO? Everybody wants to read when they’re searching for videos.

Well just by trying its already an exercise. And also you dont necessarily have to play the entire shape. The point is to know where the chord tones are. One if you have just three notes, one T, one 3 and one 5th, its already enough

Ok bud

Different guitars...you'll play with eyes closed, when you know your instrument. ( it can look like magic, it's a relationship, like any). I wanted to be able to play, so bad, It hurt, (kinda like girlfriends). You want someone to show you how to love your girlfriend?. (I could, but it's absolutely the last time, I'm going to show you how to do this?).

Do what you can bro! Congrats on your bravery
