A little about me:
Sean Daniel is a man. A man of simple needs and desires. And the one desire, no, the one NEED, that stands above all is to spread the challenges, joy and intellectual stimulus of music to people of Earth and beyond.
Born on the mean streets of upper middle class suburban Chicago, Sean learned the ways of the world through the dizzying heights of success to the lonesome depths of failure and emerged with the promise of a better tomorrow reflecting in his eyes and fiery passion in his belly.
He plays and teaches guitar on his KZbin channel where he regularly releases original music and projects to the adulation of legions of fans, who often compare him to Chris Pratt and one time Ryan Reynolds. He’s currently in the market for a nice leather jacket.

This content is relevant to my incompetence. I'm buzzing! Literally.

[@TheFeelButton]

When I'm not skipping the steps that will make me a guitar master because I want silence now I enjoy reliving legendary moments of my 80s teen years. Cheers Sean!!

[@mariat.1442]

I was just struggling with unwanted string noises earlier today and thinking that I should search out some tips about how to reduce them. Seems like the tips found me before I could do that. Thank you for the always great content.

[@me_lero]

That happened to me 10 minutes ago too. Was practicing muting then decided to check out KZbin and found this new on my front page :)

[@riichan2895]

its been a year, have u mastered it?

[@CG92965]

100% agree with you on Ray's Jolene. I have that same inane convo with many people every time i play it on my acoustic. All due respect to Dolly, ever since i heard the better Jolene at the end of The Town back in 1990 when it came out i was all in on Ray and never looked or listened back to Dolly's. It was Ray's Jolene that made me buy my first acoustic and discover the joy of learning songs front to back. Awesome job by you and Hannah on your haunting version and thanks for the noise redux insight. Illuminating as usual!

[@nicholasmoore7659]

My kids LOVE Ladies from the 80s. We've listened to it dozens of times

[@kylemoran4343]

Your Right it works! "Day Tripper" is my tuning song... low E pause, G, Gb, B, E, D, B, Fb Played on the E,A, & D strings. I know the exact pitch of that sequence of notes by memory. From there the high strings are easy to tune. Cheers!

[@jcburger733]

Thank you for the string noise tips and your thoughts on other subjects. Love your salty comments responses. They always make me laugh.

[@szczerzo]

On acoustic I learned to "find" my next chord place by using thumbas as hook on freatboard. So I can lift fingers from strings. It's also help when training differnt chord voicing.

[@educriscuolorocha]

Very nice D'Angelico guitar! You have a refined taste for guitars!

[@ryanlukasik]

I love both Jolenes and have performed Ray's. I give the edge to Dolly's strictly on merit as a song, but the uniquely 21st century hustle of picking a name that will probably get you a bunch of search hits from people who were looking for something else demands a certain respect. I can only hope people have similar arguments about my upcoming album of original material: The Best of George Jones 1955-1967.

[@alanwallace4413]

Sweet Madam Blue, by Styx. That trip from the Fmaj7 through the E and back around to Am - if any string is even slightly off, that will give it away.

[@WAGSU2BE]

Very helpful video! Thanks Sean!

[@seanenglish3002]

Very useful tips. Thank you. Cool looking guitar.

[@toblue7451]

SEAN ? How About Moving UR fingers / Hand Up & Down the FRETS, Especial with ACOUSTIC Guitars ???? Ol West THANKS

[@cwwmbm]

Re: palm muting - how do you do this on a Strat? I noticed all palm muting videos from any teachers feature a non-strat guitar :) Strats have volume control *right there* where my palm wants to go, and when I try to somehow squeeze it in it inevitably ends up messing up the volume control. In the end I end up palm muting E,A,D strings but G and up are all just ringing loud, which ends up being weird sound

[@HassanAfxal]

If you r in a minor key and figuring out chords then if u r playing a lead and feel the intense need to change the chord and the the key you tap in that lead turns out to be the 2nd diminished then your correct chord will always be the 7 Major Chord in that minor key ... I m facing it a lot what about you ????

[@davidhoxit4274]

Muting can take your playing to the next level...nice tutorial Sean!

[@JoeR203]

I can't stop seeing Ben Stiller.

[@gtr1952]

Thanks for showing Ray a little love, he deserves it! I prefer the 'Dolly' version, done by Jack and Meg White, over both of them. And as I've said before, you have a great palm muting thing. That type thing is almost impossible to teach, some things just have to be learned on your own? Anyway, I'm a terrible teacher, people should be thankful they have you, and others like you!! JMHO! 8) --gary

[@ZrohTempezz]

You should make a video on how to fix buzzing noises on your guitar. I have buzz noises coming from the bridge area

[@0r3cA]

What do you think about flat wound strings? They don't squeak between chord changes as all, but some people don't like how heavy they are.

[@TheDMTLover]

Thank you Sean.

[@KevinORourke25]

You're such a likeable dude. Tons of in depth information presented is a relaxed and entertaining manner. You bring it! Kevin O'Rourke

[@mikefranks6854]

I think you, stich method, marty music, and piano pig should start a super group call it "the idling dingle berry's"..... Love the channel live long and prosper.

[@darrenlucas804]

excellent stuff, Sean ;) WE RYDE!!!

[@Braddowell45]

Any tips on how to stay in time with a drummer

[@pallecla]

Follow the beat...

[@chuckengels7596]

Hey Sean ! Do you ever check your messages at Patreon?

[@curtvona4891]

Nice guitar. I bought one and love it.

[@seandaniel23]

Nice it's awesome!

[@curtvona4891]

@FiatDuster Yeah. I guess it does.

[@curtvona4891]

Good lesson as always.

[@griff420blazer4]

Just went and downloaded a guitar tuner app, thought I was doing ok, oh my how wrong I was.

[@ChintanCG]

stairway is my go-to for tuning ;) btw, why no bass lesson video since a while?

[@KevinORourke25]

Just listened to Ghost Ride. It has Andrea's style written all over it. GET ON IT! Kevin O"Rourke

[@andrewhguitar]

nice putting ricky rubio being on the list , he will get his shine when the suns make the playoffs next year lol. great list all around i was a huge okc thunder fan in high school.. i got in to the nba when it was all them and harden. so i love steven adams and came around huge on chris paul this year but at this point im just a fan of a whole bunch of players and dont rly care what teams actually win

[@samraffertymusic]

Gorgeous guitar! Was actually browsing for mini DCs online earlier. What's it like to play? Also I love both Jolenes but I think Ray Lamontagne is the clear winner

[@kroasana]

When I hear Jolene, I think of The White Stripes in Under Blackpool Lights.

[@Madeyes6]

In the spirit of international cooperation & acknowledgment of your cosmopolitan followers can you name your top 5 England cricketers? Loving your channel.

[@patrickbradley8242]

Do you have any idea how much better these vids would be if Andrea was reading the questions?

[@JustinHatt1]

I'm a simple man. I enjoy the finer things in life. I see a handsome man, I see a guitar I click. Simple as that.

[@seandaniel23]

Well done Justin.

[@richlight]

The spirit of the D. . . . . did it hurt hahaha

[@nbjohnson11]

Jolene - Ray Lamontagne is great. Also The White Stripes.

[@sourabhabhang6034]

How life goes ,sir Sean

[@glenndavis479]

Yep I have one of those songs to tune to , people that hear me often comment I'm the best banjo player they know...trouble is I play a Gretsch 2622T .

[@DrD04K]

You're both wrong Ray Lamontagne's Jolene is 3rd, 1. Jolene - Dolly Parton 2. Jolene - Cake 3. Jolene - Ray Lamontagne

[@Pchristensen20]

Wrong -- Jolene by Cake is #1

[@dmacinga]

Love Dolly and love Ray LaMontagne BUT.....the best “Jolene” is by Cake!

[@69sidewinder]

Yeah, my ear is bad too...almost certainly worse than yours. I use Complete Ear Trainer app. I haven't gotten very far with it, but have seen vast improvement identifying basic intervals.

[@FrankLafone]

Ray and Dolly's song only share a name. They're totally different songs. It's literally like comparing Apples and Oranges because they're both fruit. Sure... knock yourself out if you want to have a preference, but they're not interchangeable. Which do I prefer? Dolly's, but that's because I think the story is more interesting. Ray's is basically about a guy who lost his love and is doing bad. There's like a bazillion songs (mostly country) with that theme. Yes, his lyrics are evocative and really well written. And the tune is well performed. But Dolly's story about the dynamics between two women and a love triangle? That was kinda revolutionary and let's be honest, there's not that many stories like that in pop music still. Plus, Dolly's tune is certainly more catchy than Ray's. That's not to suggest I don't like Ray's because, well, I do, but like I said.... they're different critters.

[@markbothum4338]

Can I have that guitar? Thanks in advance, just address it : "Guy Named Mark in Alaska".

[@nachobeerhunter8713]

Jolene is a great song but I give the nod to The White Stripes cover.

[@wjtyz450]

sean is drunk. everyone knows the rules. film while loose. SEND IT!

[@Oldmaite]

Those anti-theory comments are so stupid... the too cool for school musicians who obviously understand music are not bereft of theory... maybe they didn't study it at college

[@alansimpson8962]

That guy is wrong believe me every big successful band knows music theory don't think they don't they do you got to know it and it's fun some of it.is

[@richlight]

Just don't touch the strings and voila, no string noise. Otherwise they are kinda doing their thing. Making noise lmao

[@seesuper]

You lost me at Chris Paul.
