Your last point is SPOT ON. Play through the mistakes and use your ear to navigate back to a chord tone. That has saved me so many times. *Stay locked into the rhythm and let your ear guide you* ~ Jiminy Cricket (probably)

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

It literally works every time 😅

Seeing the triads within the scale is super handy

[@BigGary79]

I'm just getting into learning triads and have watched dozens and dozens of videos. This is the first time I've seen anyone show that all the chords in a key are available as triads in one shape. What an important thing to know! Andrew, you are an excellent teacher. Thank you for producing such high quality content.

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!!

[@AlexisChoquette]

Your right be patient with yourself ❤😃making mistakes are a normal part of being a musician

[@azizbasharat2991]

One can find All the triads in a key inside your pantatonic position = that just made my day. Thanks Master 🙏🎸😍

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Pretty cool, hey?? Glad I could help :)

[@dr_nrshvtsa]

music is not a competition🎸

[@LuckyLeite]

grab your guitar, Andrew dropped another video

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

🙌🙌

[@StefanGBucher]

I’d also say that pushing yourself is for practice. With witnesses around, play the stuff you know in your sleep and focus on playing it with feeling.

[@thorkilosborn3925]

You really hit the big ones! The playing with other people point really helped me, I was absolutely sure I'd reached a dead end a year into playing and I went to a youth Jam group, and played my first ever solo with them, hit about a 60/40 right to wrong note ratio but it didn't sound as bad as I thought, and it really put me back on the learning path! Great video 😊

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

That's so good to hear! Thanks for watching :)

[@justinpower4475]

Love all your videos man… you have a super helpful vibe just like Justin guitar

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

🙏🙏

[@cristianoandreoli1638]

very useful tips! thanks Andrew

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

You're welcome!

[@AnkitSingh-vx4dy]

Thank you sir for these tips. Really helpful

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

No problem!!

[@jjgalletta66]

It’s not fear that prevents me from playing well, it’s my sheer inability to comprehend how the six wires tightly strung across 22 frets that frustrates the absolute crap outta me

[@Guitarlessonshub]

Haha real fact

[@robertnathan2843]

As in the lesson, everything is in one position.... The fretboard repeats at the double dots (12th fret). 🎸

[@DDE_ADDICT]

Always awesome. You speak clear and competently. This channel will blow up if you keep this up. My guess is around 2 million subs down the road.

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Man that'd be awesome 😅 I always appreciate the encouragement. Cheers! :)

[@ТимурПятигорець]

Cool video! Thanks!

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Thanks for watching!

[@sirlost94]

Just discovered you. Love your style of teaching!!! Keep it up :)

[@briansabado7368]

Your vids are so honest that every guitar player including me can relate so much❤

[@ronaldmaheu]

Wonderful advice ! Thank you ! 😊👍

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

You're so welcome!

[@patrickganess8557]

Thank you very much appreciated

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

You're welcome :)

[@rcub3577]

Andrew, your videos have absolutely elevated my playing to levels I never had thought possible. After 30 years being content (read, stuck) playing chords and tabs, I have learned to embrace SCALES. You taught me the why and the how of them succinctly. Now I'm hooked on music theory (what?!). I enjoy watching and rewatching your videos, but are there any books on guitar music theory that you'd recommend? I'd love to have the concepts you cover in print to have as a reference. Thanks!

[@nekkon1989]

This channel has blown up really fast. I literally remember you demoing the Dream 65 a year and a half or so ago and having 1k subs

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

I'm very lucky!

[@why67152]

Thanks man! I teach guitar and great content here!! Good tips!!!

[@Doramus726]

Thanks for this!

[@bluffhavenstudios]

Thank you for this

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

No problem 😊

[@christianhoffman7407]

The only pedal I *need* is a wah wah pedal. Those sound so freakin cool.

[@flamen89]

Great video 🙌 🙏🙏

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Thank you 🙌

[@Hahahahadavee]

Hey Andrew please make a video on how to sing while playing guitar (rhythm especially) i have a hard time doing that

[@lilnutty6821]

What tips with guitar will make me seem the coolest? I started gtr cause this girl I like likes guitar, but I don't think she likes me yet. Any tips?😊

[@ByTheSpirit84]

Don't take a shower for 3 months, wear the grungiest clothes you can get your hands on, learn to play a G major chord, and hummm a gentle oOoOoOoOoO over top of that. If that doesn't work, to get the gurl, put the guitar away.

[@lilnutty6821]

@@ByTheSpirit84 for real? What are some types of grungiest clothes? Gold chains and stuff like that?

[@ScruffyAnt]

@@lilnutty6821he was (sort of) being sarcastic Idk maybe you’re being sarcastic too I honestly can’t tell

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

😂😂 don't listen to @ByTheSpirit84 he's definitely joking 😅 If impressing a girl is your goal, then I'd suggest learning a couple songs. A really good one to start with is Wonderwall by Oasis. So get all the basics of guitar down first, then once you know some chords and you're comfortable strumming, get working on some songs. Hope that helps :)

[@kier1568]

​@@andrewclarkeguitar Straight up just told him to learn Wonderwall😂 did we learn nothing?😭😂

[@sonothunder4774]

I'd like to try and make my home base on the a string specifically at the 7th fret e note because I'm doing a song in the key of g / e minor is it possible to do

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Yes, totally! I don't have a video filling out the whole thing with triads or chords yet, but I do have a video highlighting that shape if you're interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/foitkGCnfsySmqM

[@3personal5me8]

Okay but what if I am new and I am struggling with bar chords and want to smash my guitar/fingers?

[@_MNF__]

Really needed to hear mastering less, thanks 👍

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

It's a big one for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@Doramus726]

I need to play with people more. I practice by myself so much

[@cliftonjarvis8010]

The intro is like my singing voice in the car and nobody else is listening 😮

[@DavidMorley-i2x]

More than 1Am

[@GiacomoVaccari]

Practice more. Play live more. You’re welcome
