Bro I've been playing for 25 years and have been stuck in the minor pentatonic box the entire time....and I literally just had that ah ha moment . I learned the cage system through you and now I'm seeing all the cord shapes along with all the major and minor scales and what I've been looking for this whole time , I have finally found. I can't thank you enough for these lessons. Thanks a lot man. Rock on🤘

Love this. Thanks for it. I am finding it easier said than done, though. Chord tones/arpeggios are where its at. Now I know why George Harrison said that he thought his son, Dhani, was going to be alright on guitar because he had shown him a load of chords. I always wondered about that remark, but ever since I discovered your channel, I have noticed more and more guitarists talking about chords being where it's at.

Develope the ability to listen to chord changes while soloing. "The goal is to be able to HEAR the chord progression in your soloing" Brett is not only a great player but he is a great instructor. Many years ago, I wish I had been told this and then stressed the importance of it. It occurred to me on my own but I would have liked to have understood sooner back when I was a budding guitarist.

Hey Papa, I'm interested in the Friedman Dirty Shirley Mini, which is a single-channel amp, and I was wondering if you could do a demo of placing an EQ pedal at a low volume setting in front of your New Dirty Shirley cranked up. As I understand, engaging the EQ pedal would clean up the sound and essentially act as a "clean channel" to the amp. I believe Paul Gilbert does this with his cranked Marshall and I thought it would be cool if you could demonstrate this. Thanks!

The hard part is trying to play melodic modal licks or how do you play melodic modal licks by using different modes instead of only using aeolian or ionian by only targeting the 1-3-5 or 1-3b-5 to try to play melodic modal licks is bending those notes to the right mode. Try making a video lesson about melodic modal licks

@@BrettPapa When chords are outside the Key or not in the key is when the Modal Notes appear. Those are called "parallel modal notes".

How do you learn where all these notes are and how do you memorize which all notes we can play over all these chords?

@autocrow7 жыл бұрын
My problem with this concept is I've been looking at the entire chord shape. D chord shapes are easy because they are only 3 notes. 1st 3rd and 5th. An E rooted minor barre chord for example has 3 roots, 3 3rd's and 2 5th's. I like the way you explain here to use only 3 notes from the shape, and to start on the lower strings. I need to focus on 3 note clusters from barre chords. It would be great to know for playing rhythm as well when another guitarist is playing the full chord.
@BrettPapa7 жыл бұрын
Yeah, that is a great trick for rhythm as well. One guy plays low and you play up higher. Sounds great!
