Guitar Techniques Beginners Can Use to Solo

[@danielrenaud3985]

Appreciate how you play the parts then put it in context then provide a practical example....truly gifted teacher

[@brianwoodard339]

Ooh, chords and scales = musical sounding practice. The best lessons.

[@AlexanderDekhtyar]

Nice. Very doable and musical. Thank you!

[@carlBigSpoonjohnson]

Definitely the best sounding guitar 🎸 you have by far!! IMHO. This old guy thanks you for the lesson

[@jcburger733]

As usual, thanks for your latest lesson on the concepts of beginning a guitar solo. Appreciated!!!

[@crypticnova5677]

i miss these i broke all my guitars and been moving constantly, nice to see you making epic content reguardless

[@downhill240]

This is a great lesson! Thanks for sharing!! I'll be working on it tomorrow.

[@starsandguitars2050]

Nice one Sean. Thanks as always.

[@nathanbotha1199]

Great lesson again Sean! Mixing rhythm and lead - it's really the ultimate in terms of sounding interesting when playing in isolation, isn't it? Well, maybe the ultimate would be "chord melody" type playing, but that's way too much thinking for my liking...this kind of stuff is awesome (still a lot of thinking but I feel I can handle this)!

[@joepregiato1987]

A very practical lesson that brings a beginner into the intermediate player!

[@nathanbotha1199]

Thanks for all of your mixing rhythm and lead lessons by the way! It's something I've been focusing on for the last year or so, and your lessons have helped me make breakthroughs with this concept in particular! I'd actually been playing guitar for about 21 years before I looked into how to blend the two...maybe I would have learned those lessons a bit sooner if I bothered to learn a Hendrix of John Mayer song instead of lots of AC/DC (haha), but seeing I didn't learn Hendrix/Mayer etc, I can claim that I learned it all mostly from you, so thanks!

[@markbothum4338]

I'm the butthead that threw shade on a soloing lesson of yours a couple months ago, which was my shitty, needless and petty act of the month. Congrats! With your fretboard knowledge I see (hear?) awesome things to come. Speaking of ancient, you're pretty much highlighting the "Clapton Box" from 1968ish, which may be well worn, but still has a certain luster.

[@seandaniel23]

Always appreciate you watching! Trying to level up the solo game!

[@louisvuittondonvg9040]

love you sean

[@sicko_the_ew]

It never occurred to me to tie them up. Excellent idea! (I normally just look them straight in the eye and say, "Behave yourself," - but then I'm quite a lot uglier than you, so maybe that's necessary before that kind of restraint technique is going to work.) I wonder if I should use pretty pink ribbons, and tie bows in them? That would look nice, I think. Nice big puffy bows. And maybe still tell them to behave, since that almost always works, so don't fix what ain't broke, as me dear old granddad used to say.

[@nicolasmaurin182]

Excellent

[@marvinmurray8499]

Great stuff. Love u posts

my guy your you working for that Sweetwater love lol edit love ya

[@bugzyhawk5941]

Have been watching you. LOL Finally subbed. Peace

7 is the new 9!!

[@Tigg333]

Thank you 🙏🏾 for this video. i found you through Amazon while looking for Guitars 🎸 to buy. I’ve been thinking about learning guitar. Guitar is my favorite thing in this world and learning to play would be a dream come true. Also, what kind of guitar is that your playing?

[@markbothum4338]

PS - Slide that down (up?) the neck to the cowboy chord area of Em, Am and Cmaj and you can slip in a lot of open strings and sound like a goddamned legend.

[@marcd1981]

I guess it depends on what you consider a beginner on the guitar. I have never finger picked, so I can't do any of what you are showing here with my right hand. I suppose the left hand playing can still be done while using a pick and it should sound good as well. I'm actually looking for something similar for what you did with your "fake playing" method on the piano to use for the guitar. Do you have any "fake playing" for the guitar, or can you do something similar to your piano lessons? Thank you, Sean, I enjoy your easy going style of teaching.

[@louisvuittondonvg9040]

RHYTHM AND LEAD MMMMMHHHHH

[@alansimpson8962]

Thats how all the iconic players think they dont base there solos on scales

[@DNYS8N]

That touch stone box for A where your go to low E (0,2,4 x 3) and then go to A root and R-2-4 over 2,4 half step, 2, 4; or something like that -- how does that SFSU’s move, I can’t play B major by starting at F# using that

[@kudgeond755]

Thanks for the lesson. Don't recall you playing a strat recently. First thing I noticed was the odd tone that sounded a bit congested as though the guitar had a cold and wondered Are those noiseless pickups? You know you've been watching too many guitar videos when you're right about something like that.

[@seandaniel23]

haha yup, noiseless they are.

[@andrescolintv]

👋

[@markgoodwin5306]

I never think of scales to play over chords, thats harder for me. My mind always goes to arpeggiating, using chord tones and bits and pieces of the scale. Throwing in chromatic notes works for me too, as long as they resolve on a chord tone. When I’m going to the next chord, I don’t go to the root most of the time, I find the nearest chord tone. I don’t know why this is easier for me to understand

[@lukesteverything627]

All good but I'd like to ask a different question. Over the past 20 years I've spent silly money on guitars but I feel it's pretentious when people see them. What's your take on buying budget guitars and putting really good pickups / pots etc on them? Like an Epiphone Les Paul upgraded. I did just buy a B&G step Sister guitar (not too expensive) and it's perfect, just saying. May you and yours never be plagued with fits.

[@AnimeW69]

I have a guitar like that except it's not a fender. It's a squire.

[@trentc7329]

Ya boy Stich is got him a new Fruit Punch Silver Sky in today’s lesson. Took him forever to get a Strat then runs out and gets him a knock-off week one. Then teaches an Eric Johnson lesson on his new not-a-strat. You think you know people.

[@chaddavis1044]

Hate ur hair but that guitar sounds great!

[@MKRYAN777]

At 1:46, you said "7th fret" instead of "9th fret", and now my dog's dead and my wife left me. Thanks a lot, dingus!

[@lukesteverything627]

Damn, killed my dog too and worse still my wife didn't leave me.

[@MKRYAN777]

@@lukesteverything627 You can't win 'em all, I guess. I must say I am enjoying my sudden lack of responsibility. Now I can use hard drugs like I always wanted with practically no consequences. Thanks again, Sean.

[@lukesteverything627]

Yep, I had the same problem. My dog used all the hard drugs I could get (it helped him with his flying lessons) but now they're all mine....evil laugh!

[@MKRYAN777]

@@lukesteverything627 My dog was always too busy buying NFTs and investing in crypto to take up a respectable hobby like flying. Now I have to figure out how to transfer ownership of his NFTs and crypto over to me so I can keep up this crank habit I'm trying to get going. I'm beginning to think Sean didn't do me any favors after all.

[@lukesteverything627]

I think we should ask him to accept responsibility. Will you do it or should I?
