Hey! Love the vids. I have a question as to like where I should go next with my playing. I've written a few songs based off of just playing what sounds right, but I want to get into melodies and soloing, but I have no idea where to start. Do you have any suggestions? My main genre is like country isk.

[@MJsap13]

The fact that you took the time to make a playlist of all your lessons in order is exactly why I go to your videos when I need to learn something

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Glad I could help :)

Thank you! Haha, yeah with the new set my display is in a different corner of the room. It might make a comeback in the future!

[@vioc633]

Hey andrew I really like the way you explain certain concepts, If possible can you do a video on how to arrange a song thats played on other instruments for guitar ? Like songs that are played on piano for example (River flows in you)

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

That's a great suggestion!

[@rwflick]

Congratulations! I really like your channel and I hope you keep it going and continue with your success. Great job!

[@michaelnixon478]

Hey brother, Thank you for the great content! I was curious if you had any videos explaining what a root, 3rd, and 5th are? Im having trouble trying to link everything together with lingo I dont understand. Thank you for all you do!

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

You're welcome! Check this one out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHTdkHydo7CSmLc

[@manuelpena54]

Congrats and thanks!!!

[@palomapadilla719]

thank you for this video! ive never understood anything music theory wise until you 3(|:)!

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Glad I could help ☺

[@double-r4975]

I was hoping this video would delve into the tactics for differentiating the chords progressions with common variations like sus, 7th, add9, etc. Do you have another video that illustrates the most common ways that these alternatives work into a chord progression?

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Working on a video on that exact topic! Specifically on moveable suspended, 7, and 9 chord shapes.

[@gx_baum2114]

Please make a Video about traveling with a guitar :) I want to buy my first good guitar in japan and have no idea how i could bring it to germany safely (have been rocking my 6 year old Harley Benton 80$ guitar since i started)

[@gx_baum2114]

Also congrats on the 50k :)

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

[@rp-kq8ch]

Congratulations on the 50k marks, I need your suggestion on something.I'm struggling with playing infront of a crowd and unable to play in sync with the metronome. I'm a upper beginner/intermediate I'd say. Could you suggest me some tips to overcome these challenges please?

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Thanks! That's a tough hurdle to get over. I'd suggest going through these rhythm lessons: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKDTimWvg7eobJo kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKK4pn2BYsmHrpY

[@ntonghaibiang9872]

Please, how do you know the next chord to play? Do you just guess from the i,iv,v, and vi? And anyone that rhymes you go with it? Or there's a pattern these chords go with different songs. Can you please explain the pattern? Most times, I find it difficult to know the next chord to play

[@glennlittle7955]

Hi there. As nobody has answered you I will try. There are no hard and fast rules but there are several things to bear in mind. - Firstly the idea of functional harmony is that each chord in a key has a function, a role. They have corresponding names too. The most obvious examples of this are the V (5) chord which is called the dominant and the IV (4) chord which is called the subdominant. These both have a tension that want to resolve back to the tonic, ie the I (1). This leads to arguably the most basic of chord progressions I-IV-V-I where the tension is increased until a nice resolution back to the I. This is the basis of the blues in the fact. - Secondly, in light of the first point, the chords you choose may depend on what feeling you are trying to achieve. Given that the different chords sound different, eg the minors are more melancholy than the majors, and that each chord has a role in the key, you can choose different chords to get different effects. - Thirdly, some things are going to be true in a very large number of songs. Eg many will start on the I chord and almost all will finish on it, because it feels like "home". - Fourthly, if you Google something like "common chord progressions" you will see and can hear or try common ones. This will start to give you an idea of how these things work in practice. Videos that talk about chord progressions can be good. - Fifthly, you may write or use (there's nothing new under the sun) a chord progression that you like and then fit a melody to it. But you might do it the other way round. If you have a melody already just try chords in the appropriate key under that melody and see what sounds good where. Experiment. There are more scientific (ie music theory based) ways to do this but right now just experiment. - Lastly, if it sounds good it is good. Theory is useful but your ears are the real judge. And the more experience you gather the better they will be able to judge so play, learn, get experience and enjoy. Have fun. 😊

What is a minor scale sir?

[@MiekHawkIsNotWorking]

major minor formula sounds like something from math class
