[@vaibhavtomar20]

Hello Tyler. Can you please tell me about the outro song in your The meeting of Johns video. I think it's is D Minor and sounds like the chords could be D E slide to F A, something like that. And the tuning could be Drop D or Open D. Please point me to the full track. Please.

Jimi Hendrix's 'Little Wing' was my long standing goal for many years- used to seem to be such an unachievable goal. His tendencies and flow seemed so alien to me 3 years ago, and now it's my go to thing to play when I pick up my guitar! Though it might sound better on a satin PRS, that thing is sleek...

[@nutmeg7719]

I know exactly what you mean man, mine is probably kid Charlemagne

[@EbonyPope]

Yeah some people say that he's sloppy but these are mostly instances when he was high on drugs. His rhythm play was just from another world. It's very difficult to nail his style. The greats have a lot of idiosyncrasies that are incredibly hard to copy. Just listen to B.B. King. His solos are nothing complicated but to nail his vibrato and phrasing is incredibly difficult no matter how good you are. With Hendrix it's the flow like you described. Best example for me would be castles made of sand. What an amazing rhythm guitarist he was man... I learned this year to play Minor Swing from Django Reinhardt. Do you know it? It's Gypsy jazz and very hard to play. I can say I have mastered it mostly now and it's a very satisfying feeling.

[@MaksymLazirko]

Hendrix would live with his instrument being an extension of his body. He would just wear it and walk around with it on and play during free time. My advice is also #45, take a few day break from guitar, just listen to other music when i do this , for some reason I play stuff I normally wouldn't. Also play other instruments, you can learn techniques and licks and stuff from that and it forces you to play differently. Oh and get a rival, compete with your friends to improve and push each other and learn from each other.Go to music stores and ask to jam with people,especially the older more experienced guys. Its better than watching shredders and wishing you could trade all of your skill just to play that one song, eventually that will change so don't be the next "shredder name" be the next you ;)

@@kingapocalyptic It helps prevent burn out too, you see your friend playing something new? You want to top that and makes you want to shred :) Also you can pick up techniques, riffs , licks, and gear/tone reccomendations from each other !

Within your interpreting, framing and contextualising of these 50 points you have demonstrated a profound sense of wisdom driven by pragmatics. It is said by many that 'knowledge is power', when the truth is 'knowledge applied is power'. This you have demonstrated often and most importantly with humour (as unique as it is sometimes, just ask your wife). There is more here than many will realise at first listening.

Duder - that is one fine, spanky fiddle!!! When I started playing guitar way back in '81 when I was 13 - you couldn't find anything you wanted on the internet so I just locked myself in "ye 'ole woodshed" with "ye 'old record player" & learned how to play by ear. I really developed my ear over the years in the 'shed & ruined a lot of vinyl (went through 2 Iron Maiden "Piece of Mind" albums alone). It really comes down to discipline & how much you really love playing music. KISS says it well in "God Gave Rock n Roll To You", "....you can work real hard or just fantasize 'cause it's never too late to work 9 to 5". Keep doing the good stuff!!!🤘😁🤘

About that keyboard tip - when I was in music school, the theory classroom always had a picture of keyboard hanging on the wall. It was like a periodic table of elements on a chemistry class or a map on a geography class. Everything was explained on a keyboard, and everybody was familiar with a keyboard, regardless of which instrument they played. Getting familiar with a keyboard is a great way to familiarize yourself with the relationships between the notes (intervals, chords, scales) because keyboard is so nicely and logically laid out.

[@the99ize]

I thoroughly agree with Rocksmith. I love it and can’t stop playing it. Wanna give you advice on how to get the best sound from the game. Let’s say for example you play the game on a PS4. Using the audio directly from the tv will cause an audio delay from your guitar to what you hear. Use a third party speaker system like surround sound or whatever. Plug the console directly to the speaker and void the audio from the tv. This will almost 100% get rid of the audio delay and give you a better quality sound if you use high quality speakers. Sorry for the long post just really adamant about Rocksmith and wanna help out your future experience with it

[@cralo5431]

Aaron Siemer thanks for the tip!

[@woodilicious722]

Rocksmith is super fun and useful, but it can be a bit dangerous. When I hit ~100 hours, I realized I was beginning to sight-read songs instead of actually learning them. That might sound like a good thing, but in practice it translated to only knowing a song because I could see what I’m supposed to play, instead of knowing what I’m supposed to play.

[@Syuurp]

[@eddiespike]

Talking about setting yourself lofty goals,...I'm in the middle of learning the Hendrix version of All Along The Watchtower. I find that recording myself each time I'm learning a new part, really helps in improving my technique. It's a lot more difficult to make a fair judgement on my playing while I'm actually playing. Listening to yourself on the recording afterwards really helps you to locate your weak spots and address them later.

[@RememberingPaul]

I'm holding you to that Rocksmith statement, I personally learned a lot about jamming and playing with a band from Rocksmith when I didn't actually know other musicians. Like so our boy see's?

[@True96red]

Rocksmith is so good for any skill level. I used to get into the habit of only learning certain parts of songs which were interesting to me, but actually playing the full songs in rocksmith meant I learned so much more. It also helps teach you to rely less on your eyes to know where on the fretboard you are, as you have to look at the notes on screen when learning songs. Apparently they're working on a new project and finishing expanding Rocksmith 2014, I'm excited to see where it ends up.

[@stoneofpower6192]

Rocksmith is good, I just wish it wasn't so glitchy.

[@TheJammerman]

I found it okay, not super useful. Time inbetween songs can be a drag. But true story: Ricky Tilo, who plays for Lady Gaga (and is actually a monster of a guitarist) played the minigame on my buddy's old Xbox account and was so good that he made the online leaderboards on his third try. So I guess there must be something to it if someone that's already really good automatically does well at the game...

[@bubese70]

i also learned a lot from rock smith, it gave me the ability to work on finger strength while still sounding bad but still feeling like apart of the music. if i hadn't been into guitar hero and eventually getting me into rock smith i honestly wouldn't be where im at today. once you start to get better you will eventually see the flaws in the game but its a good start.

one thing that helped me was learning bohemian rhapsody, it was a challenge but before I did I spent most of my time noodling, playing old stuff that's too easy and not going anywhere. I also used to look at videos like this with a fixed mindset where when he plays I think 'i will never be able to do that' but after learning the solo for bohemian it has helped me so much as it helped me with hammer-ons and bends a lot, it's just pushing yourself and challenging yourself to do more because if you don't you will never improve and you also need to remember everybody was you at some point, music is win was, Brian May was, Hendrix was like pick one and at some point, they were sat just like you finding things hard with the guitar. You just need to keep expanding and pushing the boundaries as that is the only way to progress

[@DurvalLacerda]

One tip that gave me more awareness of the "feeling" when playing: Improvise normally, but in the first 3 seconds hit the strings hard, and in the next 3 seconds afterwards hit it lightly. Go back and forth hitting it hard then lightly, 3 secs each, feel the motion. Being harsh in the 3 seconds and delicate in the next 3

5:54 Rocksmith is absolutely amazing, please make a series on this! I have learned so much from this game and it has taught me many songs, have over 200 hours in it so far and have to say it has taught me faster than any other learning method I have tried. It has many ways of teaching you from a vast array of songs to learn, to arcade mini games which can teach you things such as scales, there is a whole tutorial section with distinct levels of difficulty, a robust band jamming tool where you select many instruments, styles of music, Tempo etc and will play as hard as you play. There is also many guitar effects and a complete tone designer. Multiplayer so you and your wife or friend can jam along with you as lead or rhythm. 10/10 would recommend

I developed arthritis over the course of the last half a year after 10 years of playing, and it has dramatically changed how I am able to play. Thanks for keeping on with the content and stay safe!

[@michaelolz]

This has been a very helpful 40 minutes. There are things I didn't know and things I knew but didn't know that I already knew them but I did know them. You know? All kidding aside, this is essential listening. Thank you, Tyler.

2 mths ago i knew maybe 10 chords just to write my music....in 60 days, at 10/12 hrs 7 days a week im killing it! i couldnt get through a scale without fumbling couldnt bend a string. my fingers are flying around my guitars like lighting! very happy

[@rjnunya6524]

Okay but almost no one has time or attention span to play 12 hours a day lol

[@cooperdellane9363]

I’m 15 and I bought this guitar with my own money. This is gorgeous. It’s coming Wednesday. Dang they are fast.

[@briansinclair1986]

What kind of guitar? Do you like it?

[@tylerlennon9955]

I love that Tyler flipped the guitar over and tried playing it left handed because I had the exact thought to try that the other week and realized how effortless making both sound and music has become compared to the beginning

[@zelobinksy]

The buying a new guitar one is a really valid point. I have numerous ones, not because I wanted to buy one to sound better but purely I didn't want to retune a guitar to play a new song, having to retune would just be a ball ache especially if I was last playing in standard and now drop b 🙃

Can you do a video “Habits of Brian May” feel like there’s a lot to cover

[@peterphooko1441]

Paul Nolan yes!

[@StamateTudorGuitar]

What guitar do you recomend for an intermediate guitar player? (would be my second guitar) I have economies, so i could pay like 1000-1600 $. What's your opinion? Cheers from Romania! Your channel inspired and keeps inspiring me! Thanks!

[@angusyoung1582]

LeFREAK 19 for your price range I would STRONGLY suggest a Gibson Sg standard! These are top of the line guitars for a good price!!

I forgot to buy strings before quarantine

[@arodrigues14]

My high e string broke way before quarantine, guess what? I still don't have one.

[@arodrigues14]

@Lemon Grass Usually, the shipping is more expensive than the strings themselves.

Playing guitar is like the only thing I’ve been doing for the last three weeks, and today I had a lesson on harmonics with my instructor on zoom. Learned a lot of stuff lately with nothing to do

[@donnieward6287]

Here’s a tip that helped me: I write down all the melodies/songs that I learn in a little tab book(I know I know) and every couple weeks I’ll go back to the first page and refresh my memory and just being able to look at the page of numbers and be like “oh so it’s this” then play it after a couple practice rounds is really good to show just how far you’ve progressed

[@Wickedsensations2001]

I've always wanted a guitar that's over 500$

[@egoandy1188]

Slashzoidguitar456 whatever you do , save up your money. I know I’m just a stranger but you don’t realize how much more focus you get naturally when you buy a brand new guitar that is 1000$ - 2000$ . If you are a fender guy , go with 1,500 & up ( ultra ) if your a Gibson guy , at least 1,800$ - 2,500 $ . Anything below that is fine but not near what the extra money gets you . I learned That the hard way & I worked hard and now have multiple guitars I will own until I’m old .

[@pipsta]

It's not about the guitar it's about the player

[@egoandy1188]

Pipsta agreed , but to some people like myself , what I put in my hands can also either influence me or do the opposite . In terms of creativity / energy etc. I wholeheartedly agree with you , and for most that is absolutely correct .

[@Rocker3829]

similar to #45, but about 10 years ago I was practicing everyday until I got tendinitis and that sucked so bad. After getting over that, I changed my routine to where I practice 6 days a week (usually an hour a day depending on the day) and have one day a week where I don't touch a guitar. Most weeks, that is Saturday for a few reasons (spend uninterrupted time with the girlfriend, go out and travel, etc....). Have had zero issues with injury and motivation since adopting that 6 day a week practice schedule. Also tied into this is TRAVEL! Really hard to be inspired if all you do is stay at home all the time (obviously after quarantine is over). Go experience life and more often than not, something will inspire you.

[@ibanezguitars360]

I bought the sweetwater exclusive black satin finish a few yearsago. Its the same guitar. a prs ce 24. And its my baby. Been playing it in my lamb of God tribute ashes of the wake. Super reliable. Super comfortable and just a beautiful piece of gear. Can't recommend enough.

[@michaelcopps5683]

Recording yr practice is a good tip...it's like looking back at yr self in the mirror. Last time I looked, l had left my fly open. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. You rate well above the fray. Keep teaching us the guitar stuff. Wisdom will cometh. its a certainty.
