My thoughts too.

@@indymusicinc I much prefer the sound of single coils in my telecasters, so I minimize noise in my rig at multiple points. I use a Furman power conditioner live, I use isolated power supplies on my pedalboard, I use high quality (Asterope) cables, and my Carr amplifier is dead quiet at idle. This all helps although I typically will keep a MIM or classic vibe telecaster around with noiseless pick ups for certain situations like the studio or a particular club that has nasty power.

Very cool thanks! I've never heard of that Furman power conditioner unit. I will look into that

@@Taylor_King I use Ernie Ball Wonder Wipes Fretboard Conditioner - one fret at a time, just push the string aside and wipe under it, easy!

@@killroy123 absolutely!

i dunno why you wouldn’t run through actually doing it all…

Is spins more time explain why he's the best rather than explaining the task at hand

😆

@@MikeB-ir8cn I use economy picking so if the next note is on a lower (thicker) string, it’s a downstroke if the next note is on a higher string, it’s an upstroke otherwise alternate picking throughout

Learning to read helps to map the whole neck out in your mind in note names instead of fret #’s. I’m 43, and stopped thinking in terms of “14th fret, high E” when I was 16. It’s the note F#, and it’s the Major 3rd of D or the 5th of B, etc - it was probably the single most important Guitar improvement decision of my life. When I’m playing gigs and playing 60 songs over four hours, I never once think of what fret I’m on only interval andnote name. The human brain has a really difficult time associating different numerical values to the same object, such as 14th fret meaning the 3 of D so this fixes that as well.

@@KoreyHicksGuitar I learned to read music when I studied classical guitar, but I never looked at it the way you explained here. This gives me a fresh perspective and a good reason to go back to working on sight reading skills to apply to all styles. Thank you for taking the time to respond!

@ you bet! If you want some ideas for good books, let me know!

@@jimmaveety6343 Excellent, so glad it’s helpful!

@@KoreyHicksGuitar I will dig through your vid's for more examples using 3rd's and 6th's along with double stops. I like this idea for connecting lines and moving up/down the FB. It wasn't until is was working through your examples (and thanks for the pdf from your Patreon page) that I realized the scale patterns are the Gmaj modes.

@ yes, all the modes within a key are the exact same notes as the key. It’s the chord played over that makes them the mode so for example CDEFGAB played over a Dmin7 chord is D Dorian. Check out this video for a in-depth explanation: Ultimate Modes Lesson for Guitar | Dorian, Mixolydian, Lydian, and more all explained in 12 keys kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHTCZY1jf9Z0mJI

Reverse of circle of 5ths, and commonly used in jazz and modern music pedagody because a lot of chord progressions (iim7 - V7 - IMaj7) go in 4ths. It’s a great way of structuring practice. C F Bb Eb Ab Db F# B E A D G Think of something you would want to practice such as a barre chord and then try to play all 12 of them cycle 4 as quickly as possible from memory in <15 seconds. The secret to learning songs quickly is knowing where everything is on the neck so this helps cultivate that skill.

@KoreyHicksGuitar Thank you. The idea of cycling fast from memory is an added boost. I can do it slowly. I don't know why I couldn't suss out what you were talking about. I've known 4ths and 5ths for quite some time. You have a great channel!

@ thank you so much, Gary! I wrote a theory book that has tons of these kinds of exercises in it over on my Patreon

@@peppyharley6901 I think something could be safe for the reverse of staying up late, but my brain is too shot by that time lol

It gets easier after a while!

🤷🏻‍♂️

@@garrycole8909 absolutely! Most of this could be accomplished in a year or so with an hour a day!

@@KoreyHicksGuitar I play 4-5 hours a day. So I have to narrow my focus. There is just so much!

I know most of my notes on the fingerboard quickly but recalling them at tempo is a challenge.

@@undersoundproductions1915 hello! It is a fender custom shop 1959 custom telecaster with the stock pick ups for that year! Thanks for stopping by and let me know if you have any questions!

@@garethmartyndavies2250 that’s the point though, you need to know the interval value of the notes you are playing, and where most intermediate players are struggling to improve is they are only thinking of the guitar as muscle memory or a finger thing, it needs to be the brain and the ear as well.

@@Sammywhat thanks for stopping by!

@@timsellsted521 how far have you gotten so far?

When you said "V-V-V" it made sense to me. I have learned scales and modes. I cannot fluently play all over the neck. I've started the daily practice routine from your Patreon and working through the circle of fourths. Your Patreon page has been helpful on helping me focus.

@ excellent!

Thanks Marlon!

@@EazeT-s4n there are 7 notes in the major scale (and each of the modes) so each note has a pattern built off of it and it’s an easy way to organize everything. The CAGED method is good, but you will be missing the ‘inner’ patterns, making it harder to connect the whole fretboard in one key. Put another way, with 7 patterns every note in that scale blends together into one large pattern, from the open strings to your 22nd (or 24th) fret.
