This should be mandatory watching for everyone who plays. Not just beginners. Learn songs and play with others are such great things. I never learned as much as I did when I finally joined a band. I was a bedroom guitars player for the first 7-10 years. When I played with friends, in the first month I learned more and connected dots that never made sense before that. So important but most of all, it was fun. Even though I was by far the worst player in the room, I had fun and learned so much. I’m still the worst in many situations but but that drives me and makes me feel like a musician. And bottom line.... it’s just more fun. Great video Michael, much love from Tulsa.

Same for me. I studied classical guitar for years when to college for it. Finally moved to bigger city, met a guitar player, he asked me to play bass. I found a fretless fender, bought it, had the time of my life and finally learned to use my ears, connect the dots, etc. I miss that a lot. I am back to the bedroom once again. Much hope for the future my dudes!

Hey Michael, I came across your videos a couple of months back (while I was looking for people who had the same reaction to Billy Strings as I had) and I've been glued to your channel ever since. As a kid in my early teens I had an interest in guitar and learned the standard crowd pleaser songs but never really went anywhere with it and got bored of it soon after. Now in my 20's, watching your videos over the past few months has given me the motivation to pick up the guitar again and try a bit of busking. In hindsight bluegrass may not have been the easiest genre to start learning but hey I'm enjoying it. I just want to thank you for your super high quality content and inspiring lessons. Your the best man. If you're looking for an artist of react to I'd suggest Molly Tuttle playing "White Freightliner Blues", she's damn impressive

Love your point about playing with others. Victor Wooten has said this for many years, novice musicians should be mingling and jamming with more experienced players in the same way that a toddler learns to speak by speaking to adults. It allows for a broader perspective as the learner, knowing that expressiveness, articulation, cooperation are often WAY more important than just playing the "right" notes all the time.

Great advice and learning your favorite songs and learning the theory too them will really sink in as you see what it is and when you see it OH WOW the light bulb comes on cause you can see it.. Im 59 years old its taken forever for me to start seeing things theory wise....But ONLY cause I never gave up and I learned to read music for Piano Bass and Guitar just to be able to recognize and not be left out.. Im not a great reader like Marshall Harrison is or others but I CAN READ and as far as where the notes are played listen is it low or high ? Then figure where its at on the neck learn to play it all over and triad study on each string set helped me alot A LOT cause then I STARTED SEEING oh they all connect... Make major triads first then make them minor and diminished and suddenly you now can make those chords everywhere...... Michael this is one of the best lessons ive seen from you ! Great stuff I might be broke but that will change and when something sells Ill take private lessons from you just to SEE MORE. Now Someone buy this Dumble so I can eat next month and im not kidding I bought it for an investment to learn WHY it sounds that way I know WHY and its time to sell it Ive got all sorts of great gear and its not selling here so if anyone needs speakers or cabs or amps or even a Dumble It would be the least expensive one you will find because im not greedy I just want to play music learn and eat..... Godbless a change is gonna come.......
@backauf2 жыл бұрын
observe a proper rehearsal of musicians - not a jamming session - all are reading from a chart. Sax, trombone, keyboard and vocals are all chasing the notes on the chart - with eyes forward on the chart. Too often guitar players looking at the fret board. Ron's advice is spot on. Chris Buono's "Music Reading, Bridging the Gap between the Neck and Notation" is one of the best formats I have come across. No need to be masterful at reading, just "functional", when you can read the melody you have fall back notes, or notes to chase in your solo. Add chart reading (20-30 min) to your daily routine - and yes Ron Frey, so many light bulbs go off. Start with a Beatles tune, read the James Bond theme or Pink Panther, other (reading) musicians will join in / audiences love the riffs. Modes become easier when you know to chase a flat 3rd or flat 7th in dorian - knowing only the major scale across the fretboard rather than a myriad of patterns. At practice read each tune in advance of rehearsal - show up at rehearsal with a basic, working grasp of the song's WRITTEN form under your fingertips. You will rise from guitar Godess / God to MUSICIAN. Postpone the next pedal purchase, buy Buono's book ISBN 978-1-4584-1143-3 (Hal Leonard publisher). (I am not Chris Buono, never met the guy). Practice on a crap guitar that you can throw at the wall - 'cuz that urge is inescapable - a new urge will seep in - "I'd love to see the chart for that beautiful melody, or melodic passage .... "

Michael, there are so many things I want to say about this lesson, but probably the most powerful thing and the reason that I became a lifetime member at your Guitargate.com site is that you are 100% real with your videos. In a Facebook perfect picture selfie my vacations better than yours world, it is SO refreshing to have someone just be real and let life happen around them when making videos. I am a dad and I LOVE when you stop interact with your kids in videos, or do a react with a stain on your shirt or messy hair. You don’t edit the imperfections out of your videos (sneeze) to clean reality out of them and I cannot say how much weight this adds to your words and instruction in my mind. I am working through the second lesson at Guitargate trying to get down the major and minor 1, 3 & 5 forms which I currently suck at, however I hope to look back on the videos I have made and see the growth. Thanks again, and keep being you, brother!

Mike, your advice is terrific, your videos are wonderful, if you lived near me I'd ask for private lessons. However, I must remark that you neglected to discuss the importance of avoiding injury. Training (exercise) improperly over time will lead to injuries. Almost a guarantee. And the biggest thing is not knowing when training is being done incorrectly or overdone i.e. feeling that burn you discuss is not always advisable. Some people simply hold their breath when playing causing tension. They don't realize this and they can develop shoulder pain; nothing to do with hands. There are many more examples. Please make people aware of proper techniques, resting and getting live instruction every now and then from a very qualified teacher who sees issues beyond theory and such. Keep up the good work.

Whats up Mike, local Marylander here. I would love to see a video of a Buckethead tune. It seems to me that the guitar community is so divided by this guy. Seems like people either worship him or think hes just another shredder him. I'm a huge fan myself but I'll admit I'm not a huge fan of his live stuff. He obviously just improvs everything and he makes a lot of mistakes live. But, his studio stuff, which is an absolutely massive library, is totally insane! I would love to hear your thoughts on "Soothsayer" or "Pike 65" or any of his stuff thats not just him ripping which is a ton! Thanks Mike, most interesting music channel on the Tube!

The best practice for me over the past year or so has been going through the Grateful Dead catalog and attempting to learn both Weir and Garcia's guitar parts (individually) for the tunes. Weir's guitar parts helps you learn more about chord voicings and different chord inversions, while Jerry's guitar parts help you learn how to play different scales through chord changes.
