How to Solo on Guitar with Common Tones

[@RadioHPedroS]

Ilike how you are one of the few guitar teachers on youtube whose jokes are actually funny. Cheers my dude.

[@seandaniel23]

+Pedro Salas Thanks Pedro! I try :)

[@roanfarley9919]

I agree. Great lessons and the humour goes a long way. Nice to chuckle as I learn. Thanks dude

[@lucas.n]

[@seandaniel23]

+Lucas N So cool to hear man! Keep rocking it!

[@stefano.b65stef77]

fantastic as usual Sean, i'm watching all of your videos, keep up the good work

[@redwalrustmnc52]

[@seandaniel23]

+Red Walrus NC52 Always happy to help!

Very helpful lesson. I like these types of lessons. Thank you for sharing.

[@seandaniel23]

+LEE BRALY Always happy to help! I'll keep em coming!

[@MrHacienda1]

Another excellent lesson. I can locate all the pentatonics, but had never put the R, 3 & octave along with it. Thanks!

[@seandaniel23]

+Richard Bernier Thanks for watching Richard!

[@bellachi9575]

Love your wry wit and how you simplify guitar theory. Thanks!

[@seandaniel23]

+Bella Chi Always happy to help! Thanks for watching!

[@MikeRosoft90]

Great videos on this channel, showing things others would never tell you about without beeing a paying student. Really nice I think and every video is more than just helpful. Greetings from Germany^^

[@gregglashauser4125]

Dude ! Most excellent lesson, your method of teaching theory is cosmic

[@jeffhinks5168]

Really into your lessons right now. Perfectly comprehensible. TYVM.

[@seandaniel23]

Happy to hear they're helping Jeff!

[@toddcook4491]

Great instruction. You make an old guy understand. Thx!

[@seandaniel23]

+Todd Cook Happy to help Todd!

[@spdgoat1]

This is a nice follow on to the videos you did with Justin on arpeggio shapes, since you can run up the arpeggios and find the sixth. Can't wait to try this out. Great lesson!

[@seandaniel23]

+Joe Kepley Thanks so much Joe!

[@RexDecker-zu6rq]

That's the kind of practical guitar theory concerning intervals that's music I can practice.

[@dtjones8706]

Great lessons! Got me serious again! Thanks!

[@seandaniel23]

So cool to hear!

[@amodsardesai9027]

Super helpful video! Thanks for teaching me how to think like a guitarist :)

[@tracylaven7020]

Very helpful and it reinforced what I've been doing as ok. Meant something to me! Very useful information but Sean I have to practice a lot to lock into a lot of guitar music theory. Thanks!

[@delcapslock100]

Good practical lesson, thanks.

[@seandaniel23]

+delcapslock100 Thanks so much for watching!

[@orlandojones3973]

Thank you. I feel like I have unlocked the secrets of the universe now.

[@seandaniel23]

+Orlando Jones Use the powers responsibly!

[@brianstortors511]

Great vid! Really brings some things together.

[@Shirgho]

Thanks for the theory/praxis mix!

[@seandaniel23]

Always happy to help

[@Shirgho]

I feel like you should call your theory/practical mix lessons something like: Poor Man's Music / Guitar Theory Not that they are bad lessons, they are really good. Just that the way you explain everything is very workman like, and easily/immediately applicable. Thanks and keep up the good work. ( i.e the plebeian lessons : P)

[@MusicManFernando]

Very good lesson, Thanks

[@IronmanMentality]

Awesome

[@seandaniel23]

+IronmanMentality Thanks for watching!

[@Mikey-wg2xu]

Great lesson. Now you need to come up with a catchy name for your system like that bearded guy did. Maybe the Hardly ever lost system or Just occasionally disoriented system. Idk... 😂 Kidding. Love your stuff Ian.

[@seandaniel23]

The Confidently Lost System.

[@gemaf]

Man I wish you lived in NYC so I could take one on one lessons.

[@codymoore1765]

this reminds me of the caged method. have you done a video on that before?

[@seandaniel23]

+Cody Moore I haven't but I might have to soon!

[@princegideon6188]

Good explanation..

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much :)

[@riwajrai]

U r great sean. Jst wanna ask u one thing; the D shape u played rooting higher e string as a G note and made it like G chord, but Dmaj chord's root note is actually based on 4th string, so my confusion is- y did u ignore 4 th string?

[@seandaniel23]

Only because I like to think of fretted notes as the root, so you're 100% right, but when it comes to making things moveable, I like to think of the D major chords root note as the D on the b string.

[@tracylaven7020]

Question: my Smartphone chord tree would not name any sort of chord wo a fifth note. Isn't it possible to create a chord that's OK wo a fifth? Thanks in advance

[@seandaniel23]

+Tracy Laven So the problem with some chord trees is that they don't take into account when a note is 'implied'. Some of the best guitar voicings actually don't have the 5th in it, because it's 'implied'. The note with the strongest relationship to the root is always going to be the 5th, which is why power chords work as beefed up versions of a single note. So on guitar, you can leave the 5th out to get some interesting voicings (especially when the root note is on a lower string and standing out a little more) The downside is some chord programs won't recognize it, but it's definitely ok.

[@Ricknsim]

Have you done anything in an open g tuning? G'day from shoalwater western australia

[@seandaniel23]

I honestly haven't played in open G much, but it's a goal this year :) Cheers from the US, Rick!

[@Bimagragaireacht]

Sounds like the Daniels method coming together

[@seandaniel23]

+Oisin O Toole You know it!

[@wobber17]

+Deniss :)

[@brandonloukota4760]

what acoustic would you recommend in the $700-$1000 range?

[@seandaniel23]

+brandon loukota Great question! I'll answer that on the QA!

[@chipperwilliams7854]

What new Earthquaker pedal did you get ?

[@seandaniel23]

+Chipper Williams I got the Erupter. Love it!

[@chipperwilliams7854]

Cool man!

[@musicletters7214]

Thanks so much, I really love that kind of lessons... I usually never ask for specific lessons, but there is one riff (if it even can be called "riff"): it is the music of "The End" by the Doors. Especially the intro (which, I think is mostly all the tune anyway), i think it is in double drop D and has such a cool eastern vibe - everytime I watch the beginning of the movie "Apocalpyse now" I get goose bumps... however, lessons on this are very rare and difficult to follow. MAybe you can make heads and tail of it? Pleeeeeaaaaaseeeee :-) All the best from Vienna in Austria, the death place of Mozart and Beethoven ;-) PS: one day I will tell you why I am called "Music Letters" :-)

[@seandaniel23]

+Music Letters I'll put it on the list! You can explain your origin story in the comments of that video when it goes up :)

[@musicletters7214]

that's amazing! You are the BEST!

[@brandonjones2558]

What guitar is this sean!!!

[@seandaniel23]

+Brandon Jones That's a Taylor GA3, love it. Sadly they don't make them anymore but it's almost the same thing as a 314.

[@johnmaritato3587]

Sean don't ever shave. It just wouldn't suit you. Another great lesson.

[@Yugiohplayer5]

If everyone and their sister knows minor pentatonic licks then I have no excuse to not know them.

[@seandaniel23]

+Jonathan Espedal Better learn some ;)

[@xMasterxRazorx]

First!
