When I was 13 (1963), I went to a guitar lesson once a week, never practiced and was bored shitless, because learning took so much time. No I am 69 and have taken up the guitar again. I am a little more mature, but because of the Internet and You Tube, I can have a lesson every 10 minutes, and I can repeat it if I don't understand. So I can make more progress in one week than I made in 1 years as a stupid, lazy teenager, back in the 60's. Just a thought.

I really appreciate your attitude towards this. I'm 35 and starting to play guitar and I feel it is just like studying. Starting off with something that barely seems achievable, but during the course of a few years there's a solid foundation of factual education. My father is 63 and loves guitars, amps, and all the stuff around it. But he is too afraid to pick up playing the guitar because he thinks he's too old to get anywhere with it. I sincerely think there's no such thing as talent. There's time spent practicing and the amount of correct repetitions. When I look at my 7 year old son and the stuff he's good at, I know exactly it is because he's spent hours and hours doing it. Outsiders will say he's got great body control. Yes, that's because he's literally jumping around making moves everytime he gets up. This is the way I think about my guitar playing. The more time I spend actually playing, the better I will be in one year from now. The same would happen to my father if he'd actually go for it. Especially today, with all the resources literally at your fingertips.

Absolutely. I think everyone here is guilty of just playing songs they like or already know, without coming back to theory. My music book collection is half/half. One half is all my favourite albums ie puppets, jar of flies, appetite, but the other half is my instruction books, metal theory, rock method, rhythm guitar. In fact, my weakest point is rhythm. I'm better at scales than chords, don't ask me why, but I need to continually work on it. Because my favourite bands use chord arpeggios all the time, and it annoys me if I can't even do it half speed. You are never too old to go back to basics.

I have never really gotten into Satriani, mainly just because I've never heard his music. I should be sleeping right now, but this was the third one of these vids in a row i've watched. I'll watch the others later. I love how he talks and explains things. Definitely a talent for teaching (and of course guitar!).

I love this! In Alex Skolnick's book Geek to Guitar Hero, he wrote about taking lessons from Joe in the Bay Area in the early 80s and pretty much described being taught the intervals, scales and modes and how one day they finally just clicked. As a former guitar teacher myself, this is the direction I went as well when I still taught. Increase the student's musical knowledge first. Knowing the distance from one note to another and the scales don't help though without practice! Alex was my hero when I was learning. Had heard of Joe Satriani but did not know he taught so many who became great. Love Joe, love Alex too. And he mentions Joe Pass, a personal hero of mine! Damn, I love learning who my heroes learned from. I keep finding out we all have a lot in common as far as influences. Thanks for giving us all so much, Satch! Like ripples in a pond, what you've taught others has spread far so even the bottom feeders like me feel it!

This is how Mastery is achieved. Lots and lots of PRACTICE. All of them have put in the TIME and effort involved - Satch, Vai, EJ, Buckethead, John5, Paul Gilbert, Yngvie, etc. There are NO shortcuts. It's a never ending journey. I'm 54 now and wish I had the resources in my teens and 20s to take lessons and practice with this kind of devotion to the instrument. Still, just playing along with all may fav bands for decades, chordbooks, (I can't tab worth a crap) I developed an awesome musical inner ear. Go for it, young people!! if U have the desire, the passion and can dream about it, put in the time, so much FREE material on KZbin nowadays to learn from.

I have made more progress in these 2 years than in the last 15 years, by far. I can create much more patterns, chord progressions, use a much wider variety of notes, and I am also starting to gain speed. What a game changer

The Book is Joe Pass Guitar chords melbay, pick a category of chord for the day and switch between them then transpose. practicing the major scale in different keys with a at least 5 patterns and singing along intervals or solfege develops the ability to play what you hear in your head. it's impossible to imagine how important it is. replace the noodling with that like me and we"llbe Satriani in a few years. avoid looking down on the fretboard, you want to hear if its right, not look, keep your back straight look forward or better close your eyes, practice like great Violonists do.

This video is interesting to me. Having being born with perfect pitch, this is a whole section of learning I have been able to completely pass over. I'm very lucky I guess, but I have no idea how other people can't hear the notes already of course, I just understand now that they can't, even the top musicians in the world.
@daranedward57014 жыл бұрын
Perfect, or absolute pitch, does not equate to one being musically proficient, simply a person's ability to put a non-referenced tone to the frequency being heard. Relative pitch is all one would need. Some children can be trained to acquire absolute pitch, but there is really no market for it unless you are a singer, composer, or orchestral conductor. A lot of times people think they have perfect pitch, but in actuality they are good within a certain, yet limited, frequency range.

@jeffreyburton72846 жыл бұрын
Yes, as someone said below Phrygian Dominant is 5th mode of the Harmonic Minor scale. The fifth chord is dominant and that's the chord the 5th mode is based on. The 5th chord of both the major scale and harmonic minor have a major 3rd and a flatted 7th. It's a totally different scale/mode from the standard Phrygian based off the major scale. Usually when someone is talking about a chord or mode as being dominant it's because it is based around a 7th chord.
