Guitar Tricks to Sound Like You're Good

[@SimonJohnOwen]

Its definitely worth learning the open D because it has such a bright sound, and you can switch really easily to D7, Dm, A, A7, Am or slide up to E flat

[@mulljacob]

I’m working on getting better in standard tuning. Can’t wait till I know enough to tackle drop tuning.

[@michaelsmusic3532]

OMG lol Thought I was the only one to have done that ... I've been a professional entertainer for 40+ years and when spacing out NEVER stop playing, simply keep the rhythm going over some muted strings until I regain conciousness, you know it bro. But now you blew our cover *dramatic sniffle

So few guitar tip videos ever teach you anything worth while. This video gave me some amazing tips. Especially because their not basic tips. But legit intermediate to expert tips. This video was needed

[@perverseosmosis9799]

"G: the people's key." So much of this is brilliant.

[@papadopp3870]

Yeah, crazy, huh? Learn more slick stuff with ol’ Sean.

[@bearsgonefishing9897]

.......I saw Sean Daniel drinking a Pina Colada at Trader Vic's.......and his hair was PERFECT!

So nice to have a guitar channel that I watch that's not all about lead and shredding.

Guess my playing is going to be all percusive muting lol

[@fmn2628]

LOL ...Just get som bongos then

[@acousticjams3191]

I just realized why my style became so percussive In the first place. Oh well I like it now.

Yeah that’s a good one. Lmao cheers mate

[@traverseaa679]

Sean, have watched a boat load of you videos and absolutely love your stuff. I’m yet another 50+ returning guitarist after decades of setting the guitar to the side. Looking at it from time to time, I seldom picked it up and was always frustrated if I did. Your videos helped re energize my interest and I’m deep diving now with a passion I never had. I’ve actually broken through old limits and I’ve been buying guitars left and right like an idiot obsessed. Anyway, this video in particular hit home for me in terms of highly useful little “tricks” while also causing me to bust out laughing a few times. Keep up the excellent work!

[@XLBiker13]

You had me at "looking like less of a poseur while being more of a poseur all along." Looks like someone has me figured out.

[@johncoe6304]

That's funny dude. Lol!

[@TropicalReflections]

Sean, that lesson was not only informative but HIGHLY entertaining as well! The "half-step shuffle" insight bordered on being sublime. No longer will I voice a D chord like a ukulele player. NO! I will slide into that chord inversion and look like a pro. A fine start to the weekend....

[@RC32Smiths01]

Sometimes all you can do is fake it, and there are many things to learn about doing so! Awesome work!

[@denverragavan5537]

I'm wondering what's in your breakfast cereal..... It seems as though you wake up trying to better the world bro.... I'm all the way in South Africa facing Covid 19 at its peak and yet listening to you motivate my absent guitar skills is tonic enough.... You forgot your halo while you were putting on your t shirt bro.... Keep it up.... You take teaching back to when learning was fun.

[@seandaniel23]

My guy!!! Just trying to stay positive through the tough times! Stay safe bro!

[@denverabrahams3535]

Your enthusiasm sprinkled with a light touch of humour just does it for me. I just love your teaching style. Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa.

Sean. You are an excellent entertainer and teacher. And anyone watching you can see that. I'm 64 yo and a lifelong player. Whoever dials into you is going to be better for it. liking and sharing and wishing you the best.

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much!!!!

[@samraffertymusic]

I've done that percussive muting thing when I can't remember chords, only playing to myself though but still, great tip for playing live. Loving that Taylor, sounds great! 👌

[@wideyxyz2271]

Ive done it through a whole song with my band live and no one noticed (little bit drunk)......

[@Rustybits]

Honestly dude you don't get enough credit for these videos. They help a lot!

[@fenderstringbender7066]

Sean I love the content of your videos.Have for years.This morning I am watching so your humor can cheer me up.Thanks again.God bless

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much!!! I’ll keep em coming!

[@mr.a902]

In over 30 years of guitar, you Sean have quickly become one of my top 3 favourite guitar tutors. Second only to Mr Paul Gilbert in laid back, fun, easy going vibe, inspiration and great hair. Love your work sir! Apreeeeeeeeeeeeesh

[@michaelyoung9087]

Just purchased the Master Course! Can't wait to get started!

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much for the support! Hope you enjoy it!

[@seanenglish3002]

Your masterclass with Ian was great. You and Ian are my absolute favorite teachers. This lesson could not have come at a better time. I am really digging into chords, alternative voicings and inversions. And paying attention to my rhythm patterns. Great lesson.

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks as always my guy!

[@sbkmarkel]

@@seandaniel23 is the fretboard lesson for beginners? After watching the preview I'm not so sure.

[@hammster8255]

Hey Sean, Never miss a chance to highlight those beautiful maj7 chords! Purchased 3 of your courses. Excellent content for a 50+ guy playing again after 35yr break! Ive learned some basic music theory so suggestion for next course. A part 2 linking up the music theory to How to jam on guitar with confidence. You have covered a lot of it in part on your you tube videos. Keep up the good work. Regards from Oz, Phil

[@seandaniel23]

Man thanks so much for all the support!!! More on the way!

[@kleinzak8437]

Brillant that you recap the key learning points at the end of the lesson. Good teacher. Thanks!

[@GuyGGormanandtheGMen]

Sean, I'm envious on two fronts: 1) You've figured out a lot of things on guitar much sooner than I have. 2) You also mastered that cool bed head look well before I did. Happily, with your help and that of a good woman I've made tremendous progress on both fronts.

[@MrJamlee88]

Not only were these good tips - I found myself, literally laughing out load with each segment of the lesson delivery! (It was so good, I didn’t even abbreviate LOL)

[@JimLarranaga5k]

Great tips, especially the "what to do when you daydream during a gig and can't remember what chord to play trick." I would call that chord 'The Everything Bagel'. Or maybe "Downtown Train,"-- you step on the platform, no clue where you are, strum everything muted while waiting for the next train (chord) to arrive. :-)

[@WILDBILLSOUTDOORS]

Been there done that lol!

[@johnnyboy6480]

Do you have more videos like these bro ??? This is simply gold

[@cathalwhelehan]

love that tip on transitioning from the minor to major chords - many thanks, man!

[@TheGreenKnightErrant]

Great job putting stuff I already know it's going to be fun

[@muchohucho]

Good lesson. Especially the percussive 'oops I got lost part', I get lost sometimes and lose my momentum and then suck. One of the most memorable guitars I ever played was a friend's old Taylor 110. It was so enamored with Taylors I went to several guitar stores and tried a full range (up to $5000 ones!) and could not find that sound and feel that I had experienced with the old 110.

[@colesheperd1165]

Dude , your the shit!! Dont need to watch no other videos but yours .

[@johncoe6304]

Sean. You're so right. I've played for years. In Nashville 22 years. Sometimes, that tired old country ass d is not cool. Think I have 4 or 5 variations now. It's fun to pick up just a small thing, funny how many times you can apply it. Mof, I catch myself prematurely judging , what have been good players, when they play old school d. At times, if I DO use it, just lift your middle finger, e string.

[@seandaniel23]

Haha, same. Once they hit that D triad, I know they're not trying.

[@chugerich]

Boom tip number one! Been playing for years and this just blew my mind. Thanks!

[@bradmaier4804]

Liked the video Sean, I am far away from your skills. I get so frustrated trying to learn barre chords, my old fingers do not stretch to well, lol. I enjoy seeing you sing and play on line, you bring so much happiness to your viewers with your smile and pleasant attitude. I can see how much you like the new Taylor Guitar, so happy they sent it to you! Have a great weekend and Thank You again for all you do. Best wishes, Brad Maier from Long Island

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much Brad!! Keep on rocking it out!

[@carlotapuig]

OMG! The percussive muting trick works always!!!

[@jbwetzstein]

Learned that D chord all the way back in Tonic's "If You Could Only See." It's a definite winner and used in quite a few songs. Thanks for the video!

[@jackh577]

As soon as you played the B min, I heard Wild Horses too. Cool tricks, thanks for sharing!

[@billr2375]

I Like Tip number 4---bought it (on sale of course) and love it. Covers everything (almost) about Jamming with others that a first timer should know. The Sean and Stich show is something out of an ongoing ad lib bit at Second City. Humorous, but keeps the leanings light, connected and moving . Definitely a Tip worth checking out.

[@tomekberg9252]

that was a good one Sean! Thanks

[@jplater9191]

Great lesson at the start of my weekend in holland, thanks!

[@michaeljoesmith3977]

I learnt something new today. A very informative and entertaining video. You're a natural born guitar instructor. I'll never play the D major chord the ukelele way again. Thanks!

[@Thegroverjones]

This clip just might be the best musical clip on KZbin. I enjoyed every minute of it. Well done, and keep them coming. 🤙🏽

Sean, I've played guitar for decades, but I'm constantly delighted by all the fun new tricks I Iearn from you. You even made the ad for your course fun! Did I just dream it, or did you end with a bonus very cool trick: em7, d#m7, dm7 resolving to Dmaj7? Awesome!

[@voronOsphere]

The Half-Step Shuffle reminds me of the Judas Shuffle in church, when parishioners shuffle right past their pews and out the front doors after communion, instead of waiting for the normal ending!

[@Ben-Ken]

Love it! Stealing some of these ideas today.

[@jfitz458]

Here is a good tip ... ... stay away from the dog track. Nice cover. I get lost some times too. Hey, Taylor, made here in Sandy Eggo. Sweet sounding guitar.

[@609_]

What's it like being so awesome? Killer tips.

[@ericwillmusic_tpa]

This might be the best guitar video of all time

[@MikeDGuitar]

I really like this lesson! Playing the home chord a half step away before resolving is a good trick. I really think playing notes and chords out of key in an organized way is a good sign of being the best musician a person can be; keys can be very limiting.

[@louiszaffino4071]

i like the percussive tip 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks for watching it!

[@WILDBILLSOUTDOORS]

Just got through watching your chord substitution video, as an intermediate guitar player it doesn't bother me at all that you don't teach songs on here, because what you have done for me is open up little nuggets here and there that are making me better at playing up and down the neck. I haven't made it to a "primo" lead guitarist status yet, but I understand things a lot better now and am slowly getting better bit by bit at improvising. There are plenty of channels on youtube that teach songs!

[@neiladdison5614]

Retrospectively, I like the final tip. I bought a Taylor. I love it.👍

[@John-hk4fr]

I got a bonus tip for ya: If you need your left hand to scratch your face or pick your nose or whatever, do it during a G chord. You got 3 open strings in the middle and even if you hit the other ones it usually doesn't sound too bad. Way better that stopping of hitting open strings during another chords. And you got to pick your nose

[@kimber1911]

This is hilarious and yet applicable at the same time.

Very cool but I like my begginers D shape because your pinky can go walk about on the top E string and on the G string too and if you use the trad D shape but use middle , ring and pinky you can then go walk about with your pointer finger for lots n lots of hammer ons and pull offs etc etc And you can invert it literally and play a D7 simple shape and go walkies on that too!!...Mucho fun...Plus u can bass with your thumb lol...So simple D is not so shabby! Although I do like your trick D too! Have fun......
