3 SIMPLE TIPS PLAYING GUITAR

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Let me know in the comments below if you already knew these 3 tips or what you think!

[@frankp.8047]

Simply fantastic, I can finally be a better player

[@ElmanAuthement]

I already knew the CAGED system for the 5 major chords. Knew the minors along with a extra triad or two. But I never paid any mind to how the chord shapes created the embellishments across the fretboard no matter what key I was in, even though I knew some of the embellishments. Cool stuff man

[@geo5772]

Buddha belly blessings on you Thom! As a 70 YO returning to the guitar after a 40 year hiatus it’s such a pleasure to be reminded of the “embellishments” in such a delightful way.

[@tr5947]

"Years and years to master"; said so humbly, but factually. What I wouldn't have given (but certainly didn't have) to have had a master to give this kind of instruction in my home when I was 16-years-old and just starting guitar. Thank you.

[@grene1955]

I've been playing for about 45 years and you just made me much better... you are one of the best guitar teachers on KZbin!

[@CarlKennedyMusic]

Probably the most valuable advice I have seen for the beginner and intermediate player. Great presentation!

[@fred120364]

Another amazing lesson from a great guitar teacher... but I'm sure a lot of people would now love a specific video on how to do those embellishments pointed in tip N°3 !

[@jimduffy9773]

I've been working on triads and caged and knew most of your points. The idea that most embellishments are shape related gave me something new today. Thanks!

[@pharmerdavid1432]

That was one of the most useful guitar lessons I've ever had, and so simple even I can understand it. Thanks man, highly appreciated.....................!

[@miljann98]

Guitar pilgrim, I think the tip number 3 deserves it's own video. Hendrix excelled in that particular style of playing, and it can't be given justice in couple of minutes :D I think with your way of explaining things you can make an awesome lesson on how to play that style of rythm guitar without overthinking it :D

[@jocuppa4564]

Thank you so much for all all your teaching by making it so easy to understand. I would’ve never figured it out that way. The only way that I knew was listen to the notes in a chord shape and try to bring those notes to a higher fret which was a pain, I’m learning on my own, and don’t know a lot. Thank you so much for your awesome lessons,.

[@jocuppa4564]

Oh I got rambling, I got rambling on my mind… love it…peace

[@dennismullin3052]

What a valuable lesson. Thank you very much. And I very much enjoy your style…makes me laugh and smile.😊

[@stevelogan1699]

Wonderful, especially the last-minute concession about time required to learn. Your channel demonstrates Thom that it isn’t the best videos that always get the massive subscription numbers, enviable though yours are. You are a superb player, teacher and presenter and have been entertaining and instructing your viewers steadily for years. If real appreciation translated into subscribers you’d have millions. Thank you.

[@stevepick9527]

Totally agree!

[@1rocknroy]

Wow! This has got to be one of your best videos. Truly unlimited potential. Makes a lot of sense. A good teacher is a gift from God it seems. Thank You Pilgrim. I knew some of these but you put it in a great memorable package.

[@eldargabitov2658]

Ah, Friday. And guitar pilgrim is here to make it better

[@magg93]

You're such a good teacher, good goin!

[@ondero8050]

Probably one of the best teachers on youtube. You make even the difficult stuff seem so simple but more importantly, understandable for the beginner and intermediate level players like myself. You don't talk too much but even when you do, it's priceless information and not just blah blah. Seriously, great channel and one of the only channels i look forward to seeing new content on, even if it's an artist or genre of music that doesn't interest me and that's saying a LOT!

[@pierreandrieux3752]

I’m not a beginner and already knew these tips but still love watching your videos. Your enthusiasm is just contagious. Thanks from France

[@mattgosha5048]

Dude. I love your lessons and truly appreciate them!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are an awesome guitar player and just as great of an instructor!

[@hiepke1]

Those embellishment tips was a real eye-opener to me! Thx! 🎸

[@PowerfulSlicer]

Learnt more today than I have in a year! Thankyou

[@ayushmanbhalla8737]

The Hendrix technique is a gift from God for simple chords , however understanding CAGED system is preferable to memorising each chord's location.

[@speechy6260]

...yeppp !! 👌👌...not just valuable....Guitar Pilgrim : always soo entertaining !!! great job , guy....like always... 10 out of 10 points.

[@tommartin7728]

I'm sure there will be lots of people who've gained a huge amount from this video! I've been playing for a while so I've already played around with these three tips - but they are massively helpful. Just jamming a chord progression over different areas of the fretboard is great fun. It will impress all your bandmates in your next band practice too. If someone writes a song and your job is to play lead, a little tasteful picking on some different chord shapes always works a treat.

[@michaelricks1618]

Super tips - thanks so much for sharing!!!

[@pattayaguideorg]

Great lesson man, my whole life I've never heard the term 'embellishments' but its the thing I've always wanted to learn on guitar, thanks for revealing the path forward for me.

[@pierreatecohealth420]

Thank you mate. You are appreciated and thank you for your Jimmy Hendrix tutorials.

[@baselkhadem3441]

thank you much for your passion and dedication for guitar,,,, your love for guitar shows in the way you present and teach tips.. you don't hide anything and make it looks simple and encourging to learn

[@SeemsLikeSomething]

That strat sounds awesome! Beautiful playing sir.

[@jonthompson3279]

I always have a smile on my face after watching your videos. Thank you for the help on my guitar journey. Long live the Blues.

[@josegamez5027]

what you have just taught is the money lesson. I been looking for advise like this for the longest time. I knew it was there somewhere just that it seems it is not shared by other instructors or guitar players. thanks so much.

[@mykljamz]

Excellent lesson thanks!

[@pecny]

Succinct and concise in how to convey the big picture. Great stuff.

[@jaymo8206]

I love Guitar Pilgrim. Not only is he an awesome player, has great taste in music and this channel, yur an awesome teacher too.

[@iannicholls7476]

I kinda knew this but it is good to have it summarised so neatly. Thanks.

[@noahtenshen]

I've only recently been working on the first two points and maybe the best thing you said was--"It sounds so easy...but of course, it also took me years and years to master." It leaves me feeling less inept. Great points by the way--and another great video from an Amazing guy. Stay Well Groovy One!

[@theonetellingyouthetruth6190]

im guessing some knew these tips and didn't know it. You have a way of describing it that opens peoples minds to realize it. you should get onto rumble as well. God bless you my friend!

[@alexhuevera939]

Best lesson. Finally somebody explained it like this.

[@sjkoroth4684]

I am really need to appreciate you , because how much time you dedicated to play guitar 🎸 thanks from Mumbai

[@jetjock64]

Greeting from Texas. This was excellent. Thank you!!

[@kermitthefrog6628]

This video is easily one of the greatest, one of the most underrated guitar tutorials on youtube. Next time I play my guitar I'm gonna try out all three techniques you taught me. Thanks a lot :)

[@Ulanky1]

Well done! Takes great skill to take what can be a complex and confusing subject and break it down and simplify it! Your videos are Great! Thank you!

[@777trinity6]

Awesome video! Man these tips are like keys that unlock some really cool doors. Picked up the guitar at six years old but never had any lessons. All my lessons were listening to Beatles records and and trying to learn chords from easy guitar books. So glad I found you here. Your lessons are priceless!

[@daleduke1315]

Always insightful. Thank you.

[@lafreeway]

I like all your videos, but this may be my favorite. Makes playing fun! Thanks

[@edgorochowski9709]

Brilliant. A very very very good lesson. Thank you.

[@illwill9396]

This really is an excellent channel. And guitar pilgrim has got some serious chops jack!

[@JayJay-op4mm]

Yeah Guitar Pilgrim, the way you teach is soooo useful for my guitar playing. So much profit in such a short time. Go on!

[@edgorochowski9709]

Brilliant. things look a lot simpler now. Thank you

[@Rosendomusika]

You always make a great way of giving tips! 👍

[@mr5039]

You’ve helped me so much. Thank you!

[@patszer8314]

You are an amazing guitar teacher! 😊

[@garrrrrryyy]

Your guitar sounds so amazingly awesome

[@elysium619]

Great basic tips on fundamentals to play with more versatility.

[@superflea72]

Brilliant lesson man! I’ve been playing a long time, and you’ve inspired me to re-visit some of these techniques. I understood the CAGED system (well, the mechanics of it), but you’ve simplified in such a way that instills a confidence in me to attack it properly. 🙂

[@Pobrais]

Thank you for this. You’ve inspired me to learn more.

[@patrickrooney5130]

I as just a beginner. thank you for the video. I will play it over and over till I get it. again thank you so much.

[@jasilhemd6813]

Thank you, Sir.

[@nachomarx8890]

Thanks for this explanation, Guitar Pilgrim. It was very clearly conveyed.

[@lightfoot413]

Super Valuable Pilgim..Thank you

[@skipneumann1]

Great lesson! I am going to change how I teach chords now.. I kind of was there with caged but most of the students struggle with the concept and did not work on because the 5 shapes seemed impossible to play- I am just going to present the moving chords like you did. Thanks for the idea

[@russlgtr]

Awesome stuff 😎. If you consider also the seldom used open position Gm and Cm (along with the standard Am, Em and Dm). The standard caged approach still applies for minor chords.🙂. Very much appreciated this video thank you

[@kevlyn1963]

Mind blown, cheers.

[@raypitt9350]

Great lesson.Thanks for all the tips.

[@mikeviall811]

Terrific lesson, thank you!

[@emannaquilina6331]

Great lesson..can you explain how to choose embellishment notes to make them sound great with the chords that one is playing please..can you show some exercises if possible..always your follower!

[@CorbCorbin]

Look up videos on using double stops in Hendrix songs. It’s a good place to start, and it makes playing chords more fun, and often more musical. *also, know the basic major and minor scales, to know what will usually work or not.

[@pierre4785]

Excellent this tutorial with more embellishments. Cordially

[@TheRycooder]

ALWAYS GREAT LESSONS

[@6thwatergateplumber]

I'm sorry to say that for as long as I've had a guitar around I ought to be at the least a session musician, but alas, it didn't happen. So here I am trying to make up for lost time, and this was eminently helpful kind sir. Thank you!

[@skpince]

The man rocks. Thanks for the great tips! All guitarists, be it new or seasoned should subscribe to this channel.

[@Saulbrotherr]

Thanks Pilgrim If is possible could you make a video of exercises please. Thanks again men

[@Quintopia1]

man, thank you, i didnt know but this is just what i was looking for

[@edwinmalang2748]

Thanks so much that was an amazing tips.

[@necroticpoison]

Great vid!

[@1974xaviers]

Excellent video 😊

[@gilaubin929]

I’ve been playing for 40 years. Wish someone would of showed me this at the age of 16 when I started!! Thanks for the great lesson.

[@gabepaez9938]

GUITAR PILGRIM YOU ARE A GEM

[@arnaud3825]

Love it! Great course!

[@zacharybuell370]

The special thanks ending was my favorite part 😂 Not even a full length feature film has that many names in the credits 😜

[@ignaispunk]

This video remembers me when I listened for the first time The Grateful Dead and I discovered that Bob Weir played a lot of inversions of the same chord. The importance of the rhythm guitarist should never be underestimated.

[@davidvandegaer750]

Very good. Thanks!

[@intersepter100]

You are a genius

[@paulodacunha8781]

I know that, but it is well explained. Perfect.

[@mairenared]

Brilliant video Thom. The most comprehensive explanation of the CAGED system I've seen. Hendrix was the master 😉

[@DeltaLimaBR]

Obrigado pela aula!

[@vladavasiljev]

You are amazing teacher. You can try to explain caged system to intermediate players. Thanks

[@scallywag8788]

This is great. Couldn't quite fathom the F sharp minor shape at 4:56 however 😞

[@ROCKINGMAN]

That was an interesting and clear explanation of chord voicings.

[@Blackdogmountain]

Thank you so much! This was very useful

[@wsurfn]

fantastic

[@mikec6733]

I intentionally disregard tip #2. Ala Bob Weir. I like the challenge of jumping around.... I find that the time delays create sort of a syncopation, as long as I keep the rhythm hand at steady tempo Just me

[@mikrobluess]

thank you!

[@JROC2112]

Thank you ♥️

[@johnheart6890]

High value lesson!!!

[@normanddaviau8787]

You're student are very lucky A VIDEO WITH YOUR BAND WE REALLY HOPE

[@douglaschristine8387]

Fantastic caged chord lesson Pilgrim with that great personality, lol..

[@fendermatt874]

Different Shaaaapppes

[@Bb-M4n]

CAGED system - A & E shape barres no problem, but still struggle on the C, G and D shapes - more muscle memory and practice needed !! - then it's embellishment time

[@ukeboxjerry]

Yes, nicely explained. Now for homework.

[@chrisstonebraker6319]

THIS WAS AND IS GREAT

[@t.m.225]

Would have been nice, if you showed the embellishments for all of the 8 chords

[@nancymarianik]

Fantastic!

[@adelinrapcore]

Thx Jimi :)
