Thank you for the video, it seems to be helping me. I've been playing guitar for a year and my left shoulder (deltoid muscles) has been hurting since I started. After a year it is much better, but I would like to get rid of the shoulder pain for good and enjoy playing. Have you experienced shoulder pain and if so what do you recommend? I know it's not easy to help me from a distance. Thank you

As a beginner, I find this more comfortable but then I can't see where my fingers are. How do I solve that?
@KevinOShaughnessyGuitar 28 күн бұрын
@@pRobo6 Eventually, you want to get to a point where you don’t have to look at your fingers. To begin training that, tilt your head for a moment to see where you need to put your fingers. Once they are in place, lift your head and “feel” how they’re oriented on the neck. The more you do this, the more you should find that glancing down at the fret markers on top off the neck (along the edge) will be all the reference you need. It can take some time but I found it to be less than I feared.

Amen! I'm in the process of putting a new band together, and using charts would expedite the process. Alas, none of us are musically literate, so our charts would be crude compared to proper musical notation. Music has a language, and I must admit some regret at never leaning to read music.
@KevinOShaughnessyGuitar Ай бұрын
I woudn't spend any time regretting it, honestly. First, it's never too late to learn and second, reading traditional music may not even be necessary. I read music but the guys in my band don't. So I put together really simple chord charts with just the names of the chords. A couple of points I'm consistent on though are: 1) each chord is played for 1 bar unless noted, 2) I don't use repeats (in other words, I write out the whole song from start to finish), and 3) I label each section of the song. This way, I can say, "in the second verse, 3rd bar, do this." And there's no confusion about where I want them to look, and without the repeats there's no need to make cryptic notes about 1st time/2nd time. Everything is just written in order. If you want me to make a video on this style of charts, let me know.

I play chords with my thumb tho
@KevinOShaughnessyGuitar 2 ай бұрын
@@bumblebootwiddletoes5185 As a general rule I tend to discourage that practice. The thumb is meant to provide counter pressure so the fingers can more easily press the strings to the frets. If you remove that pressure the fingers need to work harder. That said, if you only use your thumb for a couple of chords, and you can generally keep your wrist straight, you should be able to adapt this method and continue using your thumb for those chords. Does that make sense?

Thanks this is a big help for me! I been playing for 20 years .. but never learned full songs .. so I just started to play with other musicians. I had to learn like 7 covers . Well I did okay playing them in front of tabs on KZbin. As soon as I went to play them with the band I was lost most of the time . I got fired from the band . But it’s a good start because now mission is to find the strategies to remember the structure and timing of the songs . This video is great 👍 when writing the form of the song should I write down how many measures of each section of the structure, to remember the parts? Clearly tablature is a crutch and will destroy me .
@KevinOShaughnessyGuitar 3 ай бұрын
Glad you enjoyed the video. Sorry to hear about the band though. In answer to your question, yes, counting measures is another great exercise. If you do enough of it you'll begin to see some commonalities from song to song, which will help you learn future songs. A next step might be to count phrases. A phrase (or a riff) may be one measure or multiple measures. So depending on the phrase, you may be able to count half or even a quarter as often as counting individual measures. A quick note on tablature (since you bring it up), it has it's purpose. If you need to know how a player mechanically performs a song, tablature is awesome. In my opinion, it is great for reference, but unlike standard music notation it's really not meant to be read off of in a performance. So you're on the right track: learn the riffs then put the tab down and you'll be great.

Thanks for this but unfortunately not working for me. The crosshead with blue arrow snaps to the beat (shown by the red lines) but then doesn't make a tempo event in the conductor track. EDIT: weirdly, if you click on an audio beat, the Conductor track doesn't mark the tempo event until you do the next one. It seems to mark the one you previously clicked rather than the one you click currently click.

Interesting point of view about famous players who don't read, but I'm not sure I completely buy that. That said, I'm in the opposite camp, which is, even Hendrix and SRV would have been more advanced players if they knew theory and could read. By the way, who knows, maybe SRV knew his theory, but just never talked about i! I think it boils down to what it is one is trying to accomplish. If your musical life is going to be spent playing 12-bar blues in a garage band, maybe you don't need it; but then again, if someone watches Josh Smith's lessons about using II-V-I turnarounds in 12-bar blues, they would see that nothing is as trivial as it seems. If, however, you think you may want to record, or even play on other peoples' music, then you better learn to speak the musical language. There is a reason that people like Lee Ritenour get hired to fix David Gilmour's solos and get paid big bucks for it. To sum it up, I'll quote BB, who some may think couldn't read (he could, but maybe not sight-read) or didn't know theory (he did, but maybe not enough to play bebop). He said, it's better to know and not need than to need and not know.

Excellent video and channel; I just subscribed. I haven't watched the full video yet (I plan to, for sure!), so please excuse the premature comment. I do, in fact, have a severe hand issue - but it's in my picking hand. People may not expect this, but it has cut my chops down to about 50%- 60%. In my case, you have to factor in my age (69), and slowly developing arthritis. However, the most revealing piece of information I unearthed was my use of statins for the past 13 or 14 years. It's hard to know if they actually caused it, but they almost certainly pushed it over the edge. Good luck to you and all your viewers.

I play a few instruments including drums. I use my old school mechanical metronome. Something nice about a genuine traditional metronome. When I’m on practicing on a digital kit I just use the in built digital metronome on kit. Same if I’m playing bass or guitar and have my multi effects pedal with a built in metronome although sometimes with that I still use the mechanical one. The only thing I find with the mechanical one is it doesn’t go fast enough. When I’m playing drum rudiments sometimes they can go 230bpm+ and the mechanical one doesn’t go that fast. The digital one does and with my digital one you can program in different time signatures where my mechanical one just ticks but I’d imagine a more expensive mechanical one would. It’s not a big deal because as long as you can count and it shouldn’t be a problem but it’s is a nice feature. One of the reasons I’m contemplating getting a drum machine though is for the advantages you said pointed out in this video and chances are a drum machine will also have a built In metronome. A good drum machine should have preset drum patterns in different styles plus allow you to program your own drum patterns and have a built in metronome. So my thinking is that a drum machine would be the best way to go as it will give you all the options in one device. I know you can get it all on your computer or phone now but I still like physical tangible devices you can just switch on (or wind up) and go.
