I thought that one was kinda cool. Not that easy to play while filming!

One way to do it is play G, G7 C Cm G7 D7. I can make a video

@@brookhoover1384 Great! Thats fun!

This is going somewhere Brooke....and being fun on the way..

Probably for a genius like you, but for a person who has never played an E9 chord, I'm here. Keep rocking.

THANKS!!!

Brother, your videos are very important, which benefits many people, but your videos do not reach many people because your videos are not SEO, due to which the views on the videos are very low. I want to help you to SEO your videos.

Probably has to do with those pickups and a nice old Fender amp. Thank you!

I wish I had another Martin to test. People drop them off for me to re-string from time to time. Glad you found one you dig! I have never owned a Martin

@@brookhoover1384 Just for reference, I have a J45 Studio, a 1994 Martin HD28 and a 1972 Ovation that I am also fond of. Point is that little 000-15SM has some stiff competition. lol

There ya go man! Your fingering is going to be the thing that helps us move forward. The stretching is uncomfortable but if we do a little bit every day we will get that ability to hold down your position and execute position shifts more smoothly.

COOOOOOL! I'd love to send you some PDF files

YOU ROCK!!! I am a biker by the way but I gotta say the biker mindset is embarrassing when they act like bullies. Be a good guy! It's more rewarding.

OK I will do it right now. Email me at [email protected] thanks for checking in

Wow thanks! I am 5' 5" but I used to be 5' 6". Really hoping this is the year I get a little bigger.

I know! Well actually I am avoiding real work like recording and practicing.

@@brookhoover1384Lol, tell Me about it, Im trying to get to friedman levels and just know there aint enough time on earth to acheive it, Lol. so screw practice, LMAO.

I should be a lot better than I am. I peaked at age 16. I'm 63.

Hey there John! I have had my surf band going since 2006. Before each gig, I would have to lock myself away and play along with the record (our own music) for a couple of hours each day preparing for the show. The songs seemed very difficult to remember for me. Even though I wrote them! And recorded multiple versions. I'd write them out too. Now I use a thing called Guitar Pro software and I can write them out and play along with them slow if needed. So we have show Saturday and I've been reviewing seven songs a day for seven days before the gig and it's all coming back and I feel confident. We had not played a show since October so we are rusty. Jaguars are pretty good! I have four of them. My favorite was made in Japan from 1998. I want to move to Australia. The US has gone insane.

Hi thanks a ton for stopping by. Let me know if you'd like the PDF or a Guitar Pro 8 file

THANKS! I put it together with the help of my friends Ian and Don. It's a MJT body and a Squire Mustang neck with Curtis Novak Pickups and a Mastery Bridge. It's a little heavy. I am thinking of changing the neck.

@@scotchvelo still rubbish content

@@scotchvelo you can barley play that thing

I like Freddy! He was a real cool cat. Gone too soon.

Oh wow! I do keep an eye on it. I play it out live quite a bit. It would be so cool to have an anvil case for it.

I was pretty happy how this guitar turned out. Once it was dialed in the pickups sounded really good!

If you need a PDF I can make one for you. Email me at [email protected]

I fully support this

@@brookhoover1384 Lol, Im digging you brother

I love you guys and support this as well 😎... Scotty in Alabama..

I'm using what I got at the moment and it is a Epiphone Acoustic Amp.... with a Zoom rack mount and a Holy War petal....The amp has a chorus.... but without it....We are as dry as the Desert... But I am having fun 😊

​@@Fkku-r6dHe is awesome is he not 🚭

Hey alright Ben! Stay cool! Hw is the weather up there?

@ forget about it. It’s good and cold but you ya know , I’d rather this then slushy salty wet Streets. How was t(e bid this past weekend ?

The gig was ok! I had a decent time. Was really tired the next day. I think it was having to get our stuff in the building really fast that did me in. It was cold so we had to have the door open the least amount of time. It was a big garage door so it really sucked out all the hot air. A decent little crowd showed up and we got some tips and I played a new song for the act. It was Bertha Lou! Nobody got it.

@ lol. You’re too funny Brook. Well at least the people showed up. They can’t all be packed houses at the Bitter End.

That's right! Big crowds are overwhelming but small crowds can also get me feeling weird. The whole idea of getting on a stage and doing something that calls attention to oneself is just plain weird but I gotta do it ha ha!

These guitars surprise me! What are you working on? Thanks for stopping by

@@brookhoover1384 its an old dean that my son found in a trash can. not sure on the model but its a 2007 and is just a wood grain with a clearcoat.

Where are you located? I felt really fortunate this one showed up in my area. I'm in Cedar Rapids and this one was in Des Moines. Price was pretty attractive. Was going to do a trade and the two amps I brought failed on the spot so no deal and I had to collect cash to get it done. No regerts! I see them pop up from time to time but not in Iowa.

Right on! I filed them down and fo course went too far. It's better though. Going to fill in a slot with a product called Nut Rescue from musiccitybridge.com

@brookhoover1384 i couldn't tell you how many guitars i have messed up, lol 🙄 One thing that i don't think ill do again is try to level a neck and recrown all the frets I guess some of us are better at other things, lol its why they pay the vig boys big dollars for that kinda work! But i do it all, a little here a little there. I build amps, effects, guitars, etc. But back to the nut, i think if its not too bad to begin with maybe take a little material off the BOTTOM of the nut, or probably better get a set of decent nut files and feeler gauges. Its probably why a lot of guitars wont stay in tune as well, lol i know that its very uninspiring to play a guitar that wont stay in tune, and the nut is one of many very crucial aspects of the guitar that just has to be right.

Exactly! I tried to make a nut once. Gave up pretty quick. Lucky to have a few friends who are qualified but they are so busy. I think I'll grab the super glue and fill in the slot just a touch and it should be playable. I agree that if the nut is not good, the guitar is not fun to play.

I mainly use older guitars into Fender tube amps.. I have a 90's RI Fender Reverd Unit in the chain. Been using a '66 Vibro Champ. Now have a '61 Princeton set up. Also have been using a 1964 Vox AC30 Treble amp. If I need some grit I add a Rat or a Mosky Silver Horse. Thanks for asking.

@ thanks, Brook. I had a feeling they were Fenders. Great tone.

It might have been! I forgot already. Thanks for checking it out

Oh wow! Do you have any good chord books? Learning a little bit about Major 7 is pretty refreshing. Thanks!

@@brookhoover1384 Yeah, I liked that lesson. I'm looking forward to getting your chord book.

Probably the '64 AC30. I will try to check though.

Yes it's the '64 AC30

@ thanks, Brook. Love your channel.

Oh wow! Thank yoU! There are so many great channels out there. I try to get down to business pretty quick and keep it short. If I learned to edit I'd probably get one video out a year. Doing it down and dirty allows me to crank 'em out down and dirty style.

Well cool! The Major 7th is so mellow it's freaky! Thanks for checking it out.

Thanks man! I grew up playing SG Juniors int he 70's and 80's. Rarely let me down. Pure rock n roll. And yes, The Rat is the distortion pedal that nails it for me. And the amp! WOW! I am a lucky guy! Thanks

For sure, I dig that chord!

I need lessons!

Yes! It sounds like an orchestra. It is very satisfying to listen to. Thanks. Take care of yourself

ThaNKS! I suppose some people could call it redundant, but I'd rather make sure everybody has the basic chords down. Thanks for letting me know!

I had one of those. Should go back and grab another. I'm going to search for one now. Thanks for reminding me. Those are supposed to be the jam!

It does have that chill out quality that is for sure. It totally reminds me of AM radio in the 70's. It's a great chord formula but must be deployed with care. Totally triggers a certain mood don't you think?

@brookhoover1384 I know "Into The Mist" gives me a sombre, nostalgic vibe. It started out with me going back and forth from an Amaj7 to an Am7. Took me forever to figure out what to do next before going with a Dmaj7. Mind you, at the time I had no idea what the name of the chords were. So, Amaj7 -> Am7 -> Dmaj7 -> ho to Dsus4 -> po to Dmaj7 -> G6 on the d, g, b, high e strings-> Dmaj7. Rinse and repeat.

Oh wow, I can hear it! Do you have any way to record it?

​@@brookhoover1384I've had it recorded for a while, but it is rough thus someday I need to redo it. It's on my channel.

I put a shuffle feel on my guitar pro software and it sounded ok. I would say it's pretty swinging. What do you think?

Oh my gosh! I am so happy you like these riffs and so forth! I'll see what else I can drag out of my attic! Thanks a million! You make my day!
