[@trentmason009]

I accidentally started this video at 9:44 and thought you said "Science is the single most important thing to insert between legs." I won't lie, that got me interested in watching the whole video. I'll be silent now.

[@kingrobert1st]

When the clip starts I always read: Lick 'N Sniff! lol

[@northcountryhermit5057]

Thomas Dolby knew what he was talking about when he "blinded her with SCIENCE!!" "SCIENCE!!"

[@vincentdelsuc8675]

I play guitar for like 4 month and you are very helpful, thanks.

[@ariuswu]

I've been watching most of your videos, you're doing a good job! Anyway, i'm also a guitarist and besides this 3 techniques, there's another 1 to make your guitar sounds more lively. It's simply picking another notes together with the basic melody note of the song. It goes like, instead of just picking do-re-fa-sol-si-do for the melody picking, you can play it do-re-(do+fa)-(do+sol)-si-do. Its hard to explain, but it is quite simple, and the idea is to put a harmonic to your melody. I called it group picking, cause i don't know the proper way to say it, but every guitarist we've known uses this technique too. Put it together with the sliding, off-beat, or other techniques, and the guitar will sounds cooler.

[@rolandzuber2856]

I think the technique you described is called "double-stops" :-)

[@ariuswu]

Roland Zúber Ah! yes the double stops :D It's really useful, and quite simple. But it can be tricky for a beginner, cause if we pick the wrong extra note that doesn't match the chord, it will out of tune and everyone could here it.

[@IAmStealthBertrand]

Sometimes offbeat and out of tune works...take in traditional jazz music for example. That's the beauty of music and other art forms; there is room for exploration and expression.

[@ariuswu]

SuperBryant1 yep, it could be works! but for a beginner to finally reach those stage, it's still a long way. Me myself could still make a mistake, especially when it comes to Jazz. But yes, an advance, or pro player could do a lot of things to cover it. Because they know not just techniques, but also scales, and how it works together :D

[@robws1000]

Exlnt GTR knowldege.. Ur lessons are easily adaptable for teaching... (I gots the same Santa Fe Model...love it)

[@herrgegenwart5037]

[@jeffschiefelbein225]

dude, did you take lessons, or are you a music teacher or something? you are an amazing guitarist! I really enjoy your lessons. thank you so much for taking the time to do them. I'd love to see a video of you just jammin some of your favorite/more difficult songs. I enjoy seeing you play stuff I struggle with.

[@tommybear4458]

Can you plz answer this question. As a very good player about how long does it take you to say, see a fingerstyle song you like on KZbin and then learn it to where it sounds good. Mabey tales me say a month of heavy practice to get it down is it faster for a great player and by how much would you say. Or will it always take about the same time

[@watso-007]

Hello sir I am from India and I'm like ur lessons they are so helpful to us.

[@vahidjamei6004]

[@ara1156]

I like how this guy makes it seem so easy. Gives me confidence, like "Holy shit, I can do that and impress everybody" then I try and it don't exactly work out like that lol

[@IAmStealthBertrand]

Thank you sir for the wonderful tips. I watched a video you had that taught Spanish guitar tricks and immediately was able to incorporate the techniques.

[@RaviVerma-dv6gj]

[@avianmotors]

Great things to think about! Got any advice for an taking up the guitar at an older age?

[@sandramac60]

Thank you for the tips and especially explaining the importance of silence in music.(To me, that was always one of the most powerful things about Eric Clapton's playing.) You are a very engaging teacher!

[@emin5479]

[@wikali6128]

Hi I am going to buy a new guitar and now interest in Takamine. May you recommend a model if I play only fingerstyle

[@TheLolmen123]

is that a tatto of notes on ur right arm? is it like a special song or something?

[@waynejohnston7900]

Like This! Well done!

[@rolandzuber2856]

Cool stuff, thanks.

[@dsh.4032]

Thanks a lot!

[@MrJharelle]

awesome video

[@devineguliman2867]

I really like it. Thanks :)

[@xyhmo]

Is syncopation mostly right in the middle of two beats (like in your examples), or what about doing it closer to one of the beats, like 1/4 or 3/4 into the in-between space?

[@NeatStuff86]

Very interesting stuff!

[@dannywamuya]

amazing. just taught me what I haven't learn in 4 years of guitar playing

[@kingrobert1st]

A classical guitarist spends years of his/her life trying to avoid sliding! Singers too! My first teacher told me the most important thing to playing an instrument is the timing. Leo Kottke is a master of silence with his picking technique. My friend who is a sax player says music should tell a story...so be it!

[@watso-007]

I'm willing to buy an cort earth grand cutaway it's an solid spruce top and laminated mahogany back and sides with fishman pick up its cost around 20000 india rupee is it worth of buying in ur opnion please guide me

[@YOitsKEL]

love your videos! would love it if you would do a fingerstyle tab on knockin' on heaven's door? i love that melody and i think it would sound great on fingerstyle tab! :D

[@Tophergr8]

"Between the preparation and the punch ..." lies the silence.

[@walidtrex]

excuse me sir, where do I find your finger techniques lessons with the blues? you're amazing.

[@joerahme5101]

How do you directly find the right fred

[@christianvoll1993]

Hey can you once play the notes on your arm? Or tell us what song it is?.)

[@kingrobert1st]

Christian I noticed the tat but no music notes where are they?

[@devineguliman2867]

your music is so cool :)

[@williamanthony3835]

Can you do Wich you were here PINK FLOYD?

[@keithmatry8939]

Technique two is box number 10 by Jim Croce

[@realsabab]

these techniques sounds simple, but you have to be a pro to nail each one

[@pixelatedparcel]

nope...this is very, very basic stuff: more advanced than learning your open chords and how to strum but you basically just have to practice these simple techniques regularly a bit...you'll be able to do all of this stuff correctly way, way, way, before you are even close to being able to play like a pro...

[@sumanrana1242]

The video reach 2:32 seconds already just now i see dog sleeping there

[@jordanleach4937]

Please do a tutorial for Kaleo Way Down We Go

[@daniel-pe5zd]

I rly like your videos. If I wasn't such a poor lowlife student I would join the patreon.

[@rightOrWrongMyContry]

If i'm slow at changing chords can it create a good silence?

[@rightOrWrongMyContry]

***** Thanks. :)

[@mevdeke1464]

What you call silence is called staccato in music theory. In music what is called silence is when you stay silent for a longer period of time

[@piaevelyn2247]

What is the second word? I'm can't even find it with all the internets force. Help me. :D Sinkupatien? Thats all I get. ;D

[@Lucas13100]

Amazing video my friend! :D A tiny improvement for next time you teach things related to ryhthm, it would help if you played to a metronome so we can hear what you mean more easily :)
