This is How You Should Practice...

[@robharms1659]

I've watched so many videos... I keep putting little pieces together. This might not be a big deal to others that know more, but this video/exercise made something click where I began to see chords over the top of scale shapes without really thinking about it. I really and sincerely appreciate it.

[@DJAnthologic]

This is an inestimably important concept to opening up the fretboard that has helped my playing leaps and sounds. Also, DUDE you’re teaching style, humour, chops and overall content rocks! Glad I found ya. Big up.

[@DethWshBkr]

I cannot believe how many hours I spend listening and re-listening to your videos. I was driving between service calls today and I think I spent 2.5 hours on various videos, new and already watched! Been playing (learning) for 3 years now. I am so not musical it's being absurd, but I have been doing what I can to learn. My instructor and I have been working on certain theory, and music reading (at my request) for a while. It just seems like I'm needing something to finally take this foundation I've gotten, and show me how to use it now! I gotta say, I think your videos have started to coallate all of my instructors knowledge and teaching. Digging it!

Thankyou so much Sean for these guitar videos, learning alot!

[@seandaniel23]

Happy to help!

[@rajeshgumber363]

Hi Sean, In this video you show how the D Major shape is inside the Bminor pentatonic scale. If you have time, would you be able to show some more great tips on others chords that are inside other pentatonic shapes and how to find them etc. Thankyou so much, these are the things that are making guitar playing so much fun!

[@metalfuryskulls]

If you learn your 5 pentatonic shapes and then learn CAGED pattern, you should be able to map it out. So looking at Pattern 1, there is the A Shape and the G shape chord. Pattern 2 has G and E shapes etc.

[@haus05]

Awesome lesson ! Love that tele !!! I want one with Humbuckers so badly

[@seandaniel23]

It's such an awesome guitar.

[@giog3734]

[@thedeathcake]

You are probably one of the best guitar teachers on the Tube. Awesome stuff.

[@seanenglish3002]

Great lesson. Really fun and easy reminds me of some of your earlier Hendrix tips. I really enjoyed your Fretboard Masterclass. It combined with your arpeggio with friends series really helped me spot notes quickly. The Ultimate Sean Daniels Masterclass would be you teaching people how to play solo guitar like you do so they can back up a vocalist (or another instrument) like you do at intermediate level. It should include a pointer to this video, because its great. Love your stuff.

[@benthompson7221]

Your playing and lessons are great and I love your guitar

[@patrickbrain2464]

PS- signed up for the fretboard masterclass after having gone through (a few times now) the masterclass feat. the dynamic S. Daniel & I. Stitch duo on “jamming” and endorse it wholeheartedly (disclosure to skeptics - I do NOT personally know Sean or have any motivation other than expressing gratitude). Thanks for your passion and willingness to share.

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much for saying so!

[@alexfvcruz]

great stuff Sean, I feel like getting lost at times in my knowledge, I think it's better to have a plan in mind before playing like sticking with just the vi, ii and I chord and then introduce another degree while doing improv. it's all a lot of thinking but at a point you might just do it from heart.

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks for watching Alex!

[@strat-man-du8716]

I like the way you do the disclaimers in the middle of your videos because you already know what some people are going to critique just to be asses. Don’t let those comments bug you. Keep doing what you do. I watch and I learn. They can start their own KZbin channels. 🤪

[@seandaniel23]

Haha thanks!

[@boola1914]

Thank for replying. Good to know you actually read some comments. When I started watching your videos, I couldn’t play along to a song. It’s gotten way better and I’m so happy because for many years I only sang in bands. Then I picked up the bass because I wanted to play something and I have a great ear so I learned by ear. I finally pushed through on guitar 2 years ago is when I started. Now I’m having a blast just playing along to all those songs I only sang. It’s a great feeling.

[@jmm1817]

Hey Sean thanks a million! I think this was the best lesson I've ever had in my over 35 years of playing guitar.

Keep up the great work 👍👍👍 P.S. did you sneak that Dmj7 in there at around 10:59? 😄😄😄

I just built a guitar, I'm very mechanical inclined and use the winter to master new things. I'm left handed and built a right handed guitar because my right hand was broken a while back? I played in school both right and left (30 years ago). So I need to start playing again, so everybody quits looking at me sideways for randomly learning everything about guitars, buying an Ibenez, two amps, then building a Les Paul (styled guitar) and only knowing a couple Elvis lics?

This stuff is just great, perfect stepping stone for exploration. One small suggestion is if you can force fit some genre specific licks within the same theoretical context. For example through out this video it was a very bluesy sound, you could bend in some rock or something else, that gives further room for us Togo berserk:D
