How to Stop Being a CLOWN and Learn Guitar!

[@slipperypete1248]

I’ve leaned more watching like 6 videos from this dude than literally years of random other guitar guys on KZbin. Cheers sir

[@seandaniel23]

Happy to help!

[@hushmusic2107]

One of the most reliable guitarists I've seen on KZbin. Great teacher and easy to understand. I feel like I'm writing a review lol:))) Nice video, Sean.

[@seandaniel23]

Haha, I'll take it!!!

[@frederickgreyson]

One of the most educating videos I have ever seen on KZbin about guitar. You took the time to explain what a lot of channels assume is already known to the viewer.

[@peterrussell3744]

I’m 74 and decided to take up the guitar. I was told that I should learn scales. I tried to. I almost had a nervous breakdown but I tried to. I saw this as a way of moving ahead and it was helpful. What would be super helpful would be Sean coming out with a course or vid or whatever which gets people like me into a position to make some music and sing some songs. I don’t want to be a Clapton or a Gilmore or a Richards (well maybe a bit of Keef). I just want to have a lot of fun and create a bit of noise. So Sean, I’m hoping you can look into your bag of tricks and help people like me out.

[@iduncanw]

I haven't checked it out but Sean mentions his patreon page multiple times in the video where he has more detailed lessons. The link is in the description.

[@peterrussell3744]

Thanks for pointing that out Duncan. I’ll get onto that right away.

[@iduncanw]

@@peterrussell3744 No problem, good luck with your guitar journey.

[@martywhite2988]

I've been playing for 30 years. I'd normally recommend learning scales and theory, but you described wanting to have fun. Scales aren't fun. So learn some basic chords, especially the movable ones, and some licks for solos. Once you learn one pattern, you can move it all over the neck. I'd suggest this guy's patreon. I haven't seen it. But he seems like the kind of guy who removes the bs from music.

[@peterrussell3744]

@@martywhite2988 Thanks Marty. Appreciate your comments.

[@samraffertymusic]

Honestly have learned more from this channel/the Patreon than anywhere else. So happy that I can see myself actually improving. Just wanted to express my gratitude :)

[@AndreaSilvestro]

love hearing you play 😊

[@samraffertymusic]

Aww thank you! :)

[@davidlawrence3425]

Love the videos and have learned a lot. I’ve found playing back at .75 speed is helpful -.50 playback sounds like Sean had a few Irish coffees

[@drkhandal]

Your video starts as if it will go nowhere, as if the “ordinary” (read mediocre) student will fall on wayside. As if nothing will be gained from at the speed at which you talk. And then the GBD spread over slowly at a speed in which the sound mesmerises your soul. You are hooked and from then on the music just keeps you busy. Suddenly it sounds when you Practice “RA-RA-rara-rera.” and then you hold a while to see what’s happening with the Aminor thing and then a truly unique Fmaj7 and even if the whole thing is not ready yet. Still it has given enough play stuff to keep one busy and extrapolate from their. Real Good one these. And yes the TrainWreckThing I couldn’t pickup at that speed but that’s just me it seems. Thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks.

[@ryancupido1756]

Hi Sean, you are really a brilliant teacher! I don't know what it is about your videos and I mean I went through allot of KZbin videos,but I just seem to catch your stuff quicker and it's so enjoyable man! What I learned from you in the past week I've actually applied in our church band, and it sounds awesome! Thank you once again! Ryan here, love from South Africa!❤️🇿🇦

[@gusfrederick3401]

Now I know why I really like your videos. The TRIUMPH Shirt! You go, Sean. And by the way, I really like your videos AND presentation!

[@benjamminnw]

Woke up at 3:30 am after some brutal nightmares and couldn’t sleep. Jumped on KZbin to find some guitar lessons to clear my mind. I stumbled across your channel and am loving it. I’ve been hacking at guitar for years and am really trying to improve. Your videos are just what I needed. I’m going to check out your Patreon lessons. Great stuff man! Thanks for calming my mind this morning with your manic lessons. :)

[@Moderatelydisagreeable]

Ok this is very helpful. Never thought about learning arpeggios to the new voicings of chords that I’m learning. Love the idea. Going to put in practice.

[@jefffouty9476]

I started playing along with you at 2:05 and a light went off,hey I already know this the bass line to "My Girl" just by adding the ring finger to 7th fret of A string and D string.Thanks great tutorial, and that Taylor is gorgeous!

[@jeffjohnson2938]

I’ve been trying learn the fretboard for a while and this lesson really opened some doors for me . I definitely had an ah ha moment thanks for the help

[@glennc9363]

I was already playing arpeggios without knowing it. Now I know how to link them better over the correct chords. Before I was relying on luck and ear. Thank you so much. Seems so obvious now. Great lesson.

[@Mezzlaa]

That coffee joke at 3:12 tho ;D. Cracked me right up. Thanks for all the great videos, Sean!

[@SomeJustice19k]

Good stuff! I like how it doesn't feel like a lesson, more like we're just sitting around bullshitting. It really helped a lot!

[@garyeggleton1142]

this is a great lesson....I have tried to teach quite a few people to play, and never knew how to help their rhythm

[@tennysonjames2969]

Man every time I am wondering to myself about how to make something super simple sound better, (in this case arpeggios) here you are coming in clutch with another A++ lesson! thank you sean you are a legend! keep up the amazing work!

[@Andrew-cu9lf]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Sean Daniels is AWESOME!!! Talk about a unique voicing! Patreon here I come!

[@lentas08]

When Garcia was asked how to learn the guitar he said learn the fretboard, obvious but not so easy at it seems, especially if one uses the CAGED system, however I have found that if one uses the Arpeggio system, and not try to memorise, it is much easier and quicker. I am impressed that this seems to be what you are teaching and gluing it all together. ( Have to put a shout out for your compadre Mr Stitch here too for his stitch method of connecting all the pentatonic patterns, which seems to be much the same thing).

[@HarmonicaTunes]

Superb lession Bro. I luv it❤

[@alexraphael6534]

Freakin excellent breakdown. Had a few lightbulb moments in there!!! Thanks... Patreon coming up. 😊

[@howardcunniffe8738]

I like how you play. As you can tell. I play guitar and sing and write music too. But I'm not going anywhere to play right now. I've recovered from Covid and want to wait a few weeks before playing out again.

[@kevinking2468]

Thanks Sean, this video is a game changer!

[@davehill5539]

I’m still painting by numbers but walking into the artistry is fun. Thanks

[@seandaniel23]

Keep it going!

[@drewdietz2115]

Another stellar lesson, keep em coming, thanks.

[@2000SkyView]

I do this all the time while watching TV, great stuff!

[@joewright5403]

Dude, You are frikn hilarious!!! Living example that discipline is a must right here. Thank you so much for your approach and methods👍👍. Hope to check out patreon when feasible... Otherwise I'll send you royalties once I've "arrived",♥️😉🤘

[@seandaniel23]

I’ll take it :)

[@chrisray1567]

That Taylor is beautiful!

[@krsnakantagopalinidd6233]

I like that you speak fast. So I dont feel like you are consuming too much of my time

[@brianreifel5390]

Love the Triumph T-shirt

[@TheShadowSuave]

Chords, scales, and some melodic rhythm all in one practice technique!? This is going to be super useful! I'm so used to practicing them separately and it becomes stale after awhile, thanks for this fun lesson! I'm new to guitar, and to the channel, subbed! Looking forward to more great content, keep it up! 🎵🎸🤘

[@martyrdanielson]

I see the shape for the C arpeggio embedded in the shape for the Am11 arpeggio. Might make for a neat way to teach/illustrate relative minor in another lesson.

[@SkylarRocketMusic]

Thanks Sean, exactly what I want to learn!

[@CoopDVille-rx3hp]

Damn! You started off talking about a lack of discipline and accountability,and I'm like,"Oh my God that's TOTALLY me!" But THEN I immediately switched to,"Aww,you too!?" I think I may have whiplash. Emotional,metaphorical whiplash.

[@williamocallaghan5504]

Sean really good!!!! Love that stuff you do it much justice 🎸

[@buraqaljarrah2557]

Top guy Sean. D. You have def helped me bro & get a laugh as well as learn 👌

[@randallhatcher7396]

My Girl . The Temptations . One of the first songs I learned a long time ago .

[@danmurphy5715]

I'm losing my Summer Vacation watching all your videos, Sean. I really appreciate you sharing your talent and time. Don't know if this recording is too old for a response, but I have a question. About the 6 minute mark you show a Minor 11 chord. It's a stretch for my chunky fingers, and I was wondering why you're even covering the lower E string? It's the same note as the open A, right? So open A; second finger 5th fret on D; third finger 5th fret on G; first finger 3rd fret on B. [Mute the high E?] It looks pretty much like an open Aminor, but up the neck a bit, and with a tiny stretch from the index finger.

[@cereal4u]

How to stop being a clown is my first step !!! Let’s go!!!

[@sordel5866]

It's hard enough at the moment being a clown (what with all the children's parties being cancelled due to Covid) without being told to give up completely by some guitarist on KZbin ...

[@asmru6982]

There’s a lot of over fed you tubers out there who make guitar seem difficult so that THEY can seem better that they are. Sean D makes guitar seem easy so that WE can be better...

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much!

[@jhavytxu]

That guitar is so beautiful.. 👍🏻 also learning new stuff

[@jcburger733]

Thank you for the arpeggios ideas. Appreciate it!!!

[@sophieoshaughnessy9469]

Your lessons made me realize that I learn best with a dose of gentle abuse:)

[@rikdriscoll2160]

Thanks for temporarily distracting me from my train wreck of a life 👍 Another great lesson Sean.

[@randolphgallagher7942]

This is actually one of the best videos you have done. I know you love cultivating the image of a fuck-up clown, and it's entertaining, but you really are a good guitarist. Loved your treatment of the minor 11th chord and your girlfriend is hot too.

[@Ryan78336]

I wrote the lyrics to my first song first, noticed they followed a sort of rythem, added a scale based solo hat followed the melody I fell into and then someone else added a chord progression and now it’s still in bits and pieces but eventually that will be a song. And I’ve only been at the guitar for 8 months. If I can do it then anyone can.

[@RyanShreds24]

I like that you teach fast because I too drink copious amounts of coffee.

[@luqua00]

Fantastic video!

[@williamharrison4630]

Now l get it! Thanks.

[@marcosreal11]

"Guitar is an instrument of shapes." Gonna pin this on my guitar.

[@seandaniel23]

Keep on rockin!

[@heyou429]

That Taylor records very nicely

[@somos6430]

Did he say he receives criticism because he talks too fast? Noooo!!! I cannot believe that! 😂

[@isaacnoroncaasi]

Please excuse my ignorance, but is there any way to know from which notes to start the slides that end in the notes of each chord? It is easy to know in the key chord and its relative major/minor as long as you know the minor and major escale, but is there a system for the rest of the chords whitin the same key?

[@MrMcShifty]

Your guitar looks a lot like my 326ce. Is that a 324ce?

[@Dasani_water_drinker]

I’ve thought about joining your Patreon but Im absolute beginner-no music background whatsoever. Do you teach noobs like me?

[@seandaniel23]

Yeah the cool thing about the Patreon is the very first lesson is supposed to be like the FIRST lesson. So I think you'll be good! and if not just e-mail me after the first month and I'll Paypal you a refund (patreon won't let me)

[@armandoroman4049]

At 7:08 you say the R(root) - minor3rd - 5th - 7th, aren't you playing the minor7th? or flat7?

[@MrFrampo56]

It’s a minor 7th

[@LewdCustomer]

Wow, two lessons at once! How to stop being a clown and to learn guitar too. Can we do one first, and then move on after?

[@dougarnold7955]

Cool.

[@mantashaft]

You might teach me how to play guitar, but can you teach me how to love?

[@seandaniel23]

Open your heart and you'll find the answer.

[@gato7908]

Is there really such a thing as a peanut butter latte? I wouldn't be surprised

[@klumpytheklown3798]

So, there must be a way to learn guitar and still be a CLOWN. I mean, YOU seem to play very well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. ;-)

[@michaelw2108]

You had a career in music

[@jaynedoe1959]

Hey, if I wanna wear bozo hair & the big floppy shoes while playing my guitar (as it gently weeps) that`s MY BUSINESS & I don`t havto stop! BTW Pinocchio & Arpeggio are brothers related in wood to the guitar. Pinocchio got the big wooden nose & Arpeggio just got the big WOODY! (Geppetto was a sick, sick, lonely man!)
