How about a video on avoiding, getting rid of bad habits in playing, like, posture, placing fingers one at a time for chords, not tuning up... etc etc...

[@rajennaidoo7]

Thank you once again Blue! No click-bait from you Blue! Golden nuggets in every video. So encouraging to the aspiring guitarist. You go Blue!!! Warm regards from Sunny South Africa.

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Wonderful to hear, thank you!!

[@e21steverino]

Thank you Blue! Great explanation about why I-IV-V is so powerful. I've been learning all the chords in the major keys lately and it's such a useful tool for learning songs, just like you say. One of these days, I'm gonna drive up to Vancouver for a lesson 🙂

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Cool! If you're in town let me know we can set up a lesson 😀

[@simple-security]

Golden rules to live by. Beautiful summary thanks! key > chord progression > pentatonic shapes/CAGED > major/minor > root notes > root-third-fifth all over the keyboard > landmarks/riffs

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Thank you!

[@HRJ1411]

Feeling quite pleased with myself, played for about 40 years, and I’m ok with all of these! 😁. Another great vid, thanks

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Nice! Great work! 👍

Thanks amigo, another great thing about knowing the 1-4-5 (Intervals) method Is that if a singer doesn’t have the range to sing a song as we know it, Easily we can change key so we adapt to the singers voice. Buen día a tod@s!!!

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Absolutely! It makes key changes so much easier 😀

Fantastic Lesson as always Blue. Congratulations on 14 years of Teaching. I’m two years in and feel like out of everything I learn, I forget 90% of it as time passes. I am hoping the 10% I retain will build up over time going forward. Hopefully your Computer problems are behind you and I look forward to your next lesson. Thanks again.

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Thank you, on some level, forgetting things and then reviewing them is also a normal part of the learning process 😀 just means we have to keep using the things and reviewing them until they are stuck forever 😀

Very good lesson. Lots of very good information. I’m looking for more stuff on intervals, I try to at least get an understanding of what I’m going to be understanding before I dive into it. Also anything on playing arpeggios within the caged shapes as they fit into the five positions of the pentatonic scale. I know which chords major and minor go with each shape I just don’t know what common ways to best use arpeggios. After that I’ll just sit back and wait for Eric Clapton to call me for advice 😉🤔

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Cool thanks for watching. Sounds like you're making good progress

[@charlesfellows8130]

Sound advice Blue. Maybe next step would be triads and inversions?

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Thanks! Those are great next steps for sure

[@colindayo]

Damn! So much to learn, so little time. Greetings from th UK. I liked the video before I’d even watched it. Another great lesson - thanks Blue!

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Thank you! You can do it! Learn something new each week, it adds up fast 😀

[@capearkona1989]

Great again, thanks. I really have to work on the chord- number system. I have heard about that before but honestly never even cared about it.😅 So I´m exited to see how it will help me to get even better.🙂

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Great thanks! It's worth it but takes time to get used to thinking I IV V etc.

[@PapaPedro99]

Great videos. Clearly explained. Inspiring. I don't play and lead or licks... but you are making it seem less daunting. Thanks! 😊

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Thanks! You can do it!

[@georgerichardson7728]

Another great lesson man, thanks

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Glad you liked it! Thanks!

[@atom-by5ur]

Sir, I'm 57 years old learning to play the guitar, my brain can't handle all this.

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

I have students much older than that. You can do it. It's a step by step process for everyone

[@dannyadkins4212]

Thank u

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Thanks for watching 😀

[@claymathes2701]

You always go back to the basic

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@justinvzu01]

Those are some weird looking power chords. (I'm a metal guitarist)

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Haha, turns out there are more chords than just power chords, but I do understand some of these points don't apply to all genres :)
