Most Guitar Players Miss This

[@erniewilliams2790]

I don’t play guitar. I have followed you for several years for the entertainment value. As I prepare for the “next phase,” I am cutting out many things to give myself more time for my most loved people/activities. Thanks for many good memories, and may your life continue to be blessed.

[@seandaniel23]

Congrats on the new chapter!

[@petebrown8145]

Wow! That was probably the best 16 minutes I’ve spent in a long time. Awesome lesson; thanks!!

[@siddharthmanumusic]

Lovely lesson!! So simple and easy to follow - both the major and minor patterns.

[@seandaniel23]

Happy it was helpful!

[@jeffreyskinner3057]

Practice , Practice, Practice! It’s really that simple. Your lessons make practice more enticing. Thanks for the videos. Been a subscriber for a good while and am never disappointed in your content. I couple your short lessons with learning new songs. There are a couple more people on KZbin that do nothing but breaking down popular / classic songs that are really helpful when practicing. I’d make them but don’t want to step on your vibe.

[@seandaniel23]

I appreciate you helping to keep the vibe intact

[@francisg292]

Great lesson Sean it reminds of the old fashioned frying pan pentatonic technique.i was taught in the 60s ,I'm an old git with a guitar .

[@lw216316]

left out the 4th, so leave out the 7th and wa-la you have the pentatonic scale so then try the bass run to - My Girl and the good old bluegrass lick or even The Tennessee Waltz they all fit with this basic exercise

[@jrholmes79]

Thanks Sean! As a songwriter I’m always “noodling,” looking for that rich, right note. This drill will help. Love your videos!

[@simoto9009]

Great lessons, seem to be absorbing some good musical knowledge somehow? My ear had worked out the single intervals. The key new knowledge was the route to the next string down to repeat the pattern. Amazing, truly. I can’t believe I’m actually beginning to commit the fretboard to memory! My wife and I are at similar levels on guitar. Despite her ability to read music I’m streaking ahead in technique and mobility around the instrument. Sweet sweet bragging rights. Thankyou so much! Sorry to ramble but in just a few days my playing and understanding of what I’m doing(and able to do) have inspired hours of practicing and progress. Really can’t thank you enough.

[@jled7869]

This lesson had me singing “Nationwide is on your side” on repeat in my head 😂

[@eagles_s]

Someone said this on another video of his Lol

[@conniesadler6543]

Five feet tall with short fingers to match. A whole lick based on one step intervals? Yes, please! Thanks for the tip, and enjoy that sweet D-18!

[@PageMarker1]

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. D18 not as valued as a D28. My D35 is fine too.

[@AlexanderAnderson542]

As a song writer that predominantly focusses on lyrics. Videos like this help me to improve my playing. Thank you sir.

[@TurboMountTV]

Unfreakable. and that's a major compliment.

[@josephcasey322]

Props to your ecomindedness. Great lesson. I appreciate how you're able to put very technical and deep concepts down to a level which is relatable to all levels of ability. Oh yeah, and PRACTICE!

[@mt-qc2qh]

Wow, I just put my Elixir 12's on my Martin. Compared to the Retro 13's they ship with, it's a dream to play. With the coating and finer windings, it's like playing a real instrument instead of a bunch of stiff wires. They are quieter while sliding up the neck.

[@jcburger733]

Thanks for the latest guitar lesson. Very helpful!!

[@danconverse6553]

As I've followed your vids, the Elixirs do sound better than the stock Martin strings to me, as well. Nice! Great lesson, too.

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much!

[@trusarmor4957]

another banger of a lesson.

[@mrx-b3i]

this is so good too see here so glad

[@1dotele]

Great lesson Sean Thankyou I will buy some of those strings

[@namron29748]

My guitar teacher taught me this about 40 years ago, really useful way to navigate the fretboard.

[@Paul-fp1gr]

Well done !! Thanks you .

[@leica_sl2]

Playing a D18 Martin?

[@ivan_grishanov]

Thank you, Sean, for your useful information for guitar players))

[@christophervincent8420]

And another master class

[@jimmypavia8444]

thanks so much sir sean daniel this very clear tuturial like me im beginnners

[@taylodl]

No on the strings! You want the Martin Retro Monel acoustic strings for your acoustic guitars! They're the only strings where I've actually _heard_ a difference - and what a difference they make!

[@Gitarapiotr]

As always the best guitar lesson. Thanks for sharing ;)

[@danielrenaud3985]

What does it say about me if I like the minor patern better then the major. And there is still nothing else that sounds like a Martin except a Martin with elixer strings

[@mikeoliver198]

That was neat. Thanks🙂

[@stuartwalker16]

Thanks ✨️ my fingers are numb now anyway I appreciate ur time ❤❤

[@stephenwebster2878]

I find that straight forward enough to play, but you talk about it being a way to connect chords. I don’t see what chord that easily connects to the G or starting chord because you end up on your index finger on the fourth string and tbh nothing comes very easily to my fingers from there. Please advise!

[@stoogler180]

What note are you ending on? That’s your transition chord.

[@rjlchristie]

OMG you are a genius, you've seen and discovered some hidden secrets that nobody else has ever seen. In fact you also know that the solutions have been deliberately hidden by cowards. You should write a book, .... but nah, who needs to read stuff and who needs a fundamental understanding when hacks can do the job? You are awesomely brave and generous. Channel goes in my junk bin.

[@seandaniel23]

I appreciate the kinds words ;)

[@brad-scottgirod9324]

What is a perfect 4th note

[@lesliel1182]

What would you ever do without m9's and 11's?

[@jasonedwards4419]

B 12 injections?

[@slimybread4259]

You are hilarious!

[@trinidiana]

I love your channel and you are highly entertaining, most of your videos are a little too advanced for me though

[@mfsavino]

I knew it…I got my b12 injections and my playing has skyrocketed!

[@TurboMountTV]

I inhale.

[@actiondefence]

I'm very grateful for the work you do but it seems to me that your videos follow the same formula.. First half, Intro shows somw amazing guitar playing then the first part is broken down in to steps I can follow. Then comes "now for the second part, just wriggle your fingers like grease lightening up and down the fredboard like this" and maybe throw in a "just practice it a couple of times and you'll get it.. Very frustrating to a dullard frustrated newbie like me... But I shall persevere and I will continue to use your videos on the way, thank you!

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks for the feedback. So what will be a more helpful structure? I’m always open to trying out new stuff!

[@actiondefence]

@@seandaniel23 I think your pacing tends to increase in the second half of the video, so keeping it as simple as the first half. As a newbie, this is my first ever attempt at anything musical (45 year old guy) so I listen to the first half of the video, pause it to practice what you have been teaching. Then the second half tends to be a little more advanced and loses me.. But I must say, the problem may be new and not your style or methods 👍🏻

[@seandaniel23]

@@actiondefence Thanks so much for the feedback! Glad you've been enjoying the videos and I'll keep it in mind! Keep rockin!

[@kalvino67]

That D18 is so beautiful!

[@MrA1582000]

This is so helpful. Subscribed. Thank you. PS: it’s a yes on Elixir strings.

[@seandaniel23]

Welcome to the party!

[@anthonypease1072]

2 frets a whole step, , with ½ or whole step walk ups

[@tomheineman4369]

I have the same strings since 2000. No Sean you're not going to bully me with these 5 minute sermons about how about you love Alexa strings.

[@jchavins]

bass players having been doing this as patterns forever

[@onlinekurtu]

ı keep hearing Bob Marleys Redemption song.

[@lucasgibson3973]

You guitar seems to be buzzing a lot.

[@nayaleezy]

But how much better does a 12 string guitar make you because more string?

[@therearenonamesinthevoid5772]

I overestimated.

[@tomtoss2463]

You are playing G major pentatonic and then C major pentatonic.

[@countryalexander7175]

?

[@newworldwellness7007]

First!!!

[@seandaniel23]

Champ!

[@tomheineman4369]

I'd rather cut off my fingers and play like jango Reinhardt than buy elixer strings

[@bradettinger3072]

Ditch the baseball hat. All of them. You're a grown man.

[@johncarlo7395]

What is it that most Guitar players are missing? I'm a bit confused, it looked pretty rudimentary to me, and I don't like Elixir strings, grossly overpriced and overrated.

[@1elvin]

Dude...really?
