[@CaptAnderton]

I'm really glad this video has been well received. Pete & I are going to work through the backing track album he wrote one track at a time & do a lesson around each track. I'm so lucky to work with Pete, Rob, Rabea, Joss & all the other wonderful players we've had on. Despite what your own musical tastes are, they each bring something great to the channel & I've learned so much from all of them! Never stop learning right!!

[@MarkPilipczuk]

Thanks Lee. Just watching this over breakfast this morning. Another great job by you and the entire crew over at Andertons.

[@jimmyjimmy951]

Nice job and thanks for considering us mere mortals..🙂

[@iamnoman85]

I realize this is ten months too late, but "target notes" are what I think you were talking about.

[@phowell333]

You seem like a great guy to work for. My deceased Dad once told me that to be successful, find good people, treat them well, and the rest will fall into place. Cheers from the US east coast.

[@reyngel]

With all the isolation these days, having instructional videos like these from you and Pete are AMAZING to help us become better guitar players at all levels.

[@corynorell3686]

Can’t believe it took me this long to find this series. Started watching Andertons a couple years back. Bring this series back, please! I’m in the same boat Lee was back when this was filmed. It’s always an honor to hear Pete’s advice.

[@demeaningplebny1363]

Very generous of you guys to do this. What the Captain did here takes courage. A little like walking out of a changing room with no pants.

[@bobframe1949]

Lee said EVERYTHING that I'm thinking. Bravo.

[@cyrusadkisson6864]

Watching The Captain try to keep Pete focused is my favorite pasttime.

[@rmp5s]

My $.02 - - Lee!! G major = E minor! Em is G's relative minor! - Phrasing...when to leave a pause...etc: Think about guitar licks like you think about breathing or singing! To practice, play something but only play when you breathe out, then stop when you breathe in (or vice versa). - "End notes" can be referred to as a target tone. It should (usually) be something you're trying to emphasize. For example, if you're in Em, landing on the flat third, the tone that makes the minor triad minor, would work well. You guys mention this but thought I'd clarify a bit. Being somewhat well versed in theory, I love this video...however, I could see beginners being lost in the sauce. lol

[@str8harry]

Wow you actually managed to correct them and say some theory while being polite and not douchey. That's a first for youtube comments lol

[@kylestewart4444]

Pete plays with a lot of soul. He’s a guitarist’s guitarist.

[@MarkJohnsonJams]

This is great. I wish I could hang with Danish Pete and get lessons. So good. One of my fave guitarists on the tube.

[@CamRebires]

I think he does skype lessons, look on his instagram-account :) ...you will have to scroll down a bit

[@CarlosCandidoMusic]

The Gospel of Mark Ever. Pete and Bea. 🙌🏼

[@domagojzagorac6186]

Hi Pete, do you do Skype lesson now? Like next friday or saturday?

[@davidstorer2193]

The Gospel of Mark i

[@paulppetersson]

The Captain meets Danish Pete!

[@justinbouchard]

I knew if I looked I would find the comment I wanted to write :D

[@andertons]

Coming very very soon... :)

[@jandeman5259]

Andertons Music Co Didnt he meet Pete already?

[@danishpete]

Coming..... :)

[@danishpete]

Many times :)

[@SingSurfStrum]

Thank you Lee for your humility in expressing how most of us feel with our playing, we’re never too old (45) to learn but often too embarresed to ask for guidance. Pete, you are an inspiration. Great job. This is gonna be huge

[@Tanglangfa]

Captain, you deserve a lot of credit for being humble enough to do a lesson like this. If we could all be so humble, we’d all be much better players. Thank you! Also, thank you Pete for being a good teacher and great player!

[@alphakittyofficial]

I can't imagine the dedication and long hours that Pete's put in to get so good. Thanks for the lesson!

[@marcushogan6613]

Andertons strikes again with a perfect video!!!!!!!! Once again I'd like register my usual complaint to this channel. The awesomeness of the jams has caused me to shit myself. I expect compensation of some kind.....

[@thomasfowler2140]

was the jam scary good?

[@abhinovenagarajan.s7237]

Pete: I've forgotten everything I've learned it was a long time ago. Proceeds to lecture everyone on chords of a key and 7ths and 9ths. This was such a good insight into the mind of one of KZbin's best guitarists!

[@LUckybones25]

I'm sure he's forgotten more than I will ever know lol.

[@Liquomans]

Doing these lessons this morning from NorthBay, Ontario Canada 🍁

[@atthegates098]

Yes yes yes! Been waiting for a Danish pete lesson for AGES! Thank you Amazing player Please make more! 😀

[@JB-tc8el]

What an absolutely fantastic concept for a new video series. Please do not let this one drop. Keep them coming, I'm sure these will continue to generate massive interest. Cheers guys!

[@danishpete]

Thanks Matthew... Another video coming this Saturday...

[@cheyenne5523]

Lee‘s jam at the end is really good

[@oldsalt6951]

Miles Davis once said "It's not the notes you play, It's the notes you don't play" Took me years to understand that. Great Lesson Pete. Love your playing and control where were you years ago…..lol

[@natearchuleta2003]

6 years after filming, I still found this to be a great resource and reflection.

[@mattycee5412]

Great to see Pete the teacher, he's such an awesome guitarist.. I felt I made so much progress when I started thinking in chords rather than just im plAying in "key x" opens up so many more options

[@bijnaniethuman]

How do you know which chord you are in? Do you guys just hear it, or how? Im a beginner.

[@satchrules101]

@@bijnaniethumancounting will help know which chord ur on .. I’m still working on it !

[@flexprog3374]

Actually, a lesson in this form (you teach the viewer, but the captain as well) is very nice. It feels much more interactive, because it is a conversation and doesn't just go one way.

[@angrypickle]

I'm so glad youtube has a rewind feature.

[@willbrock6799]

@Andertons Music Co Target the chord tones! Terms like “third,” “seventh,” and “ninth” refer to the number of notes above the root of the scale you’re playing, or scale degrees. In a G major scale, the one, the three, and the fifth are good target tones for the G major chord because those are the notes in the chord. The seventh and ninth (F# and A in G major) just add cool dissonances that sound good to our ears where notes like the eleventh and thirteenth (C and E in G major) tend to clash more with the chord notes around them. The same applies to minor scales and chords. Notes in the E minor scale and E minor pentatonic that are also part of the E minor chord sound great because they go with the E minor chord in the background. For instance, over a C major chord I’d play a C major scale and target notes like C, E, G, and maybe B and D because they are either part of the C major chord or sound nice over it. If you know what notes are in a chord and know what scale to play over the chord, you’re set! You just have to target the notes that overlap between the chord and the scale. Sorry for this wordy comment, trying to explain what Danish Pete is trying to say to the Captain about theory.

[@t75ftw]

Imho - Danish Pete = Living Legend. Period.

[@MangoOverload91]

The metallic orange strat is a thing of beauty!

[@thehound2161]

Strat, Pete. The end. Epic.

[@thormusique]

I'm so glad you guys are doing this! Thanks, Gents, this is amazing!

[@jozon8551]

The resolution, the note your resolve to is what Lee is looking for.

[@andrewdavies8955]

This is exactly what I've been waiting for. Fantastic video. Great job Pete and the Captain once again. Love it

[@JunkieMonkey321]

Hey Lee. The key to everything Pete says in the first, like, 23 minutes of this video (haven't gotten further than that yet) is that pentatonic shapes depend on where you play them. You can play an A minor pentatonic over a C major chord and it will sound like C major. Essentially the chord determines what notes will sound good. You can play the same A pentatonic shape, like a 1-octave A minor pentatonic over an entire song in C major, A minor, D dorian, etc. because they're all the same notes. In the A minor pentatonic, on the 1 chord (A7) you can just play they A note and it'll be the root. When the chord goes to the 4, and you play an A still, it'll be the 5th which is still a chord tone of the D7. Playing an A when the 5 chord rolls around works too because you'll be playing the 4th which won't sound too great but will still be in key. You can quite literally play, like, an A on the 1-chord, a D on the 4-chord and an E on the 5-chord and it'll all be in key and sound fine. But depending on what chord you're playing over, the meaning of whatever note you're holding will change. Rick Graham did a great exericse in his masterclass (it's on youtube) where he basically told the people there to strictly play the chord tones. So over the 1 chord, they'd play the 1, major 3rd, 5th and flat 7th. Over the 4 chord they'd do the same thing (1, maj3, 5, b7) and the same for the 5 chord as well. Doing this would make you hear some notes that you might wanna play over a certain chord or maybe make you want to do a little slide thing here or there. Play with that for a bit Understanding relative major/minor is huge for this kind of thing though, since you can essentially play the same shape in a bunch of different places and get nice results. As Joe Satriani puts it: the notes in the chords are the suggestions, and hitting those particular notes will make people think you know what you're doing. The cool sounding stuff comes when you play stuff that isn't necessarily part of the chord, which is where playing the 2, 4, and 6. Those are the notes that give tension and make stuff sound a bit more colorful.

[@AhmadSleeq]

even the rambling at the beginning was actually perfect for those that at some point knew this information and desperately needed a refresher course

[@kylehurley5651]

This is awesome, will definitely be waiting every week for the new lesson on how to play like the great Pete and captain!!!

[@Eldel_]

you guys had a very great idea with this!!! plus watching and playing along with you guys is always a pleasure!!!

[@calebleger]

Thank you so much for posting this. I look forward to hearing future videos in this series!

[@FLORIDAERO]

Go Danish Pete, Love all of you. From the state's. South florida. yea.

[@anthonydevito1298]

Absolutely LOVED this style of video! I could watch these all day! Please make more!!!

[@MNGuitars]

Omg that strat the capt had is sooo gorgeous!!!!!! ....so glad you guys are doing this! Best channel!

[@irabucha8963]

Pete's enthusiasm conveyed through the talks, and I'm moved. Good job, and keep this please!

[@fluroflash2803]

Thanks Pete! This was great. Keep it up

[@galloway7448]

Got to love those smooth smooth sounds of Pete!!!

[@elvis_chen]

The best video for this weekend

[@roooop]

Love all the backing tracks, especially Saltry & Steamy in Em

[@Tom-pd3ug]

I'm a simple man. i see Pete, I like.

[@Chord_The_Seeker]

This is great. I can't wait for more of these.

[@PherotoneStudios]

Pete. You are a total legend

[@vantonilin]

The dynamics of the Captain and Danish Pete is just phenomenal! Very entertaining, and still informative. Good work!

[@untappedreality6021]

This episode was awesome and quite helpful for me! Please continue to do more like this also. Thanks guys!

[@angtele8773]

Thank you gentleman. This IS what your channel needs. Please keep things like this going. I am looking forward to more of you both. 👍

[@8ventus8]

Awesome! Thanks guys. Looking forward to the next lesson

[@phillipasby9202]

Add to the kudos to the Capt for being "vulnerable" as a player in the open and giving all of us who aren't Danish Pete some comfort that we aren't alone in falling into ruts and struggling to find ways to break out of our patterns. Targeting the notes makes a lot of sense when contemplating the chord progression - definitely things I'll take out of this including some one string work this very evening.

[@yngwiej.malmsteen5170]

If you aren't making oopsies, you aren't trying hard enough.

[@codygranrud6212]

...and if you aren't trying hard enough, you deserve to have your ships burned.

[@danishpete]

Love you Yngwie....

[@codygranrud6212]

...love you Pete. ;)

[@aryoadhitomo]

I always try too hard then

[@duilawyr]

I am so so SORRY I could not get your name when we met at the Country Club in Reseda, CA. It just would not stick in my head. For 40 years its embarrassed me, and I am sorry . You were so nice, I think you said your name four times, but through the miracle of the internet I get to apologize!!! You knew my friend Loni.

[@sydneyschmidt4267]

This is the MOST helpful guitar video ive ever watched. Please make more! Somehow lee is asking all the questions I have and Pete is just a beast. I just havent seen another video that targets this as perfectly as this. Love you guys❤️🎸🤘🏼

[@ejbaquet]

Please keep these coming! This is great, guys!!

[@pitargi]

Proud of you, Cap! Thank you, Pete! Great video. You always inspire me to play more. Love you guys

[@AllanGildea]

Brilliant guys, thanks to you both. All the presenters at Andertons are excellent.

[@Adipsia1]

So many insights from this video... thanks Pete.

[@arutha19]

This is awesome. I love the approach to learning here: talking about how to think about it rather than just teaching ‘put your fingers here’. I’m looking forward to the rest of this series!!

[@13thLegio]

This is such an inspiration. I put that played that backing track onto my looper with a bass line and just ripped some of the licks off this video. I could not stop all day! Thanks for uploading this gem!

[@marcosviegas7127]

Two AMAZING players

[@benjamincardenas4219]

Thanks for the delicious tracks, this is brilliant, another way to interact with AnderTons, I love jam tracks, especially HD well mixed ones like yours. Very inspirational, sending love and gratitude from across the pond.

[@angryfrenchduck]

I love everything about Andertons,how much I've learnt from you all, your humour and the mix of styles you all have! I bought my Strat from you, even though I have a huge music store closer to me, I just thought I wanted to give something back seeing as I have learnt so much from your channel. Just bought the backing track, going to be using it for days on end I think! Thanks for everything you do! Legends!! #gayfordanishpete #thecaptainisalegendtoo

[@brianjacobs8755]

Danish Pete is bringing this channel to the next level. Thanks!

[@Kmaitland89]

I don't even play that much guitar and I just watched an entire video of in depth guitar talk. I barely knew what was happening and I loved every second of it.

[@JonnyPlaysLive]

Thank you for the inspirational tracks Pete, I've had a blast playing on them! :)

[@Yesidoplaytheguitar]

This lesson has probably been the best thing for my playing in the last 3 years! Stunning!

[@Guitdolin]

This is probably the best instruction on improvisation I've ever seen. Pete, you are awesome, brother.

[@bransemlin56]

That’s so great! Thanks Captain! Thanks Pete!

[@darkwish210]

Thank you Lee and Pete. The playlist is really good too. You can really get creative and go crazy or mellow with it. You guys are really doing a great service!

[@cryptotroll1232]

This is as good as it gets. TV only wishes it had content this good. Bravo gents!

[@gibby230079]

What a great video! Thanks for putting it together!

[@kelven1976]

Great stuff guys!! what a nice surprise to see this and the backtracking to download........ noodle away my weekend!

[@m00nsplitter72]

My advice to anyone struggling to break out of the minor pentatonic rut is to gurn a lot more, and to pull a vinegar-stroke face whilst playing random notes outside the scale. It does seem to work.

[@yngwiej.malmsteen5170]

Doesn't hurt to throw in a karate kick every so often either.

[@yngwiej.malmsteen5170]

Learn one scale fingering, learn in which positions it becomes the other modes :P

[@emcg.9655]

Lol😂😂

[@Joeobrown1]

i really love this format of lesson, keep them coming please?

[@rarch1968]

Man!! That was great...the concepts here really make a guitarist sound like a MUSICIAN. No flashy crap, just proper musical applications. Pete is an extremely gifted player & teacher.

[@Bealzeebozzo]

Pete's timing and phrasing is just sublime for mine. I have taken in many of his lessons on his own page and found them to lead me to play new stuff in new ways that I would never have found without Pete's nudging.

[@VincesWoodNWonders]

Very brave of the Capt. to put himself out there like this showing folks this is where I am and this is where I am stuck. Good for you Lee!

[@Skybluetoo]

I learnt more there than I have in years. Less is more is definitely my mantra from now on. Thank you.

[@johnmccann8288]

Can't wait for the chord lessons , lovin it !!

[@pan6367]

Finally !! No more need to alternate youtube lessons/anderton's/lessons/... Can't wait for the upcoming vids !! Thanks Guys, you're awesome !

[@rodneylaws9480]

i have watched the full video and pete has helped you morph into a very tasteful and concise player great job

[@sonicgli]

Best video ever. I learned a ton in 45min. More!

[@cesararias4633]

I´m re-watching this video after watching lesson 2... I must admit this is just incredibly awesome! I will practice all of this for sure!!! Much love from Barcelona!

[@kevlyn1963]

That was fun to watch, great idea.

[@therodeoflip]

This was so great!! Thank you and more like this please 👌🏾👍🏽 couldn't ask for a better motivation to learn

[@tippersmusic]

I feel like I've levelled up just watching this... great job lads!

[@f1photos1]

Outstanding boys! Keep them coming...

[@stephanskogen3817]

Great job Cap! Its as we can see you evolve during the course of this session alone. Very good concept indeed! And always a pleasure to watch / listen to Pete play. Really watched Andertons videos more than anything else on KZbin, which is saying a lot about how much entertainment but also interest I find in what you put out. Great job from a guitar loving Norwegian.

[@WillReynolds88]

Great video. I really enjoyed hearing Watching this.This would make a fantastic series, please keep them coming!

[@richardthornton8094]

Lee - Pete, This was one of the most informative video's I have ever seen on how to stop trying to play and just feel the music! For the first time I think I can even lear to solo! And Lee I've been watching your videos since very early on and brother you have come a long long way. Your playing is impressive and getting better every day. Pete of course will always be on another planet but he has a 30 years head start.

[@paulw6126]

Well done lee - honesty is a good attribute. Humility is a rare quality.

[@crunchyto]

Great, great, great video. Really enjoyed this.

[@jakequenet]

I first watched this video and was absolutely confused and lost , i went and studied stitch method guitar channel and now im back and it all makes so much more sense and i can understand what petes trying to say so much more, thanks Stitch!

[@paultwiselton1996]

Just simply BRIIIILLLIANT!

[@anttik5764]

Oooohhhh my boisssssss!!!! What a lesson!! Got so much inspiration thankyou Pete Honore!! :)))))

[@Phredoable]

This was great!! Please keep them coming . . .

[@jonbradbury3843]

Love this video, can't wait to see Pete and Josse do a backing track album and lessons

[@patrickmulder2450]

Cool video! It shows that teaching is a craft/art/skill as much as guitar playing is. I loved watching because of how it illustrates that fact. Captain is learning guitar and Pete is learning to teach. After 10 episodes they'll both be better! Good job lads.

[@anthonyhnj69]

I swear, Pete make me want guitar 8 hours a day. He is an amazing talent!

[@stuartb3690]

Great idea , thank you for the lessons. I have learned so much from them .

[@thomascampbell5755]

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Keep it coming!
