[@savvysymbiont]

Nobody shows the pain of learning guitar on KZbin. Thank you Capt'n....Cheers!

[@caglaroral]

Totally agreed. Keep on Captain & Pete.

[@jacobreece1971]

Savvy Symbiont I remember when I first did a Saturday dedicated practice session. My fingers hurt so bad that I couldn't put them under hot water.

[@dwaynebrady3505]

You probably dont give a damn but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost the account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me

[@clydekade414]

@Dwayne Brady instablaster :)

[@dwaynebrady3505]

@Clyde Kade thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@tacosupreme6895]

"I'm going blind." ~Pete Gotta love the guy!

[@thewomanwithnohead]

Danish Pete is SERIOUSLY underrated in this guitar world ... Freaking genius on his neck !

[@simoneskesen7391]

No he's not... I think most people in the guitar world rate him pretty high.

[@adrianmoore8840]

He's a beast

[@goswo]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJKsd2p9bch3icU

[@sacredgeometry]

Hes not a genius he is just a good musician/ guitarist.

[@ahmedrashed78]

Seeing Capt learn is much better than seeing chappers shred

[@Songbirdstress]

My Rigs Chappers has a brilliant modes lesson video. He taught me modes :-D

[@ahmedrashed78]

Songbirdstress yeah, it was the first video that I started with while learning modes actually, was really a good help

[@IanWrigleyNZ]

Both have their place. Pete inspires me to play though while Rob inspires me to listen

[@E33Tpro]

I'd have to disagree a bit, both have there merits and I have a feeling it also depends on what genre of music we enjoy, personally I prefer rock and metal al a Rob, but for blues or Fender tones you might like Lee and Peter more. There is no right or wrong here, just different preferences.

[@alfiegaishauser5639]

Songbirdstress what vid is that bro!?

[@alanohagan6999]

O man fair play to you Captain for putting yourself out there like this. Pete is just a total monster of tone - loving this series

[@gentlemandave1135]

Respect Captain. It takes guts to show it all and not edit in your favor. We're all at different levels in the journey with different goals. I hate guitar players tearing down others or having an air of superiority. You're showing it's never too late to try and add to your trick bag. Anyone who acts like they never had a frozen moment where they have no idea what to do next is full of it. Pete had many of them on his way I'm sure. Refreshing vid.

[@FingerBlaster5000]

that's the best part about this series of videos. showing the pain and frustration learning how to get out of your comfort zone and expand your vocabulary. Pete's point was right on when he said KZbin guitarists do hundreds of takes to make sure they get it right. But to the the viewer it's as though they are watching a virtuoso. Nay! they practice that shit for weeks or more to play it off as one take. keep up the struggle because in the end you will become a more well rounded player with an arsenal of musical riffs at your disposal. showing mistakes is honest and will connect more with viewers. if people want to watch perfection they can go wack of to his highness Sir Guthrie Govan hitting that AM6m7b5#11/9/13+4/G over a W chord. it's a sight to behold believe you me. But for the everyman learning to build a vocabulary this is great. keep it up.

[@kevinseintu212]

I like how they are not running the guitars into recording software now, it allows us to get more of the vibe in the room, and also they can talk while playing :)

[@filnn]

I agree, it adds a presence to the audio. It's quite pleasant :)

[@paultwiselton1996]

Kestrel Yeah totally agree dude.

[@gavinhenle2873]

Thank you Capt and Pete, that was the best lesson I've had in years. I wish more people were brave enough to show the process of learning, mistakes included!

[@fadil-f]

Just ignore those hateful comments, you guys are great and these videos are entertaining and helpful for some other players

[@WMG-em1zg]

Captain- it's great you're so honest. I've been playing for almost 30 years and am about your level and struggle to learn new things. It's easy to get disheartened when I hear people who have been playing for only a few years and they are incredible. So basically it's nice I don't feel alone thanks to your videos. Thank you.

[@Hobs210]

Captain Lee, take it from someone dumb enough to wait till he's nearly 40 to learn to play guitar, you sir rock. I hope one day to be where you are is this thing called music. Keep at it, and keep loving it. If you can do those two things, you will more than master it. Until then, you are my Captain.

[@motorv8N]

yeahuh, what HE said! Only for me it was 45 yrs old. Went to a Joe Bonamassa concert almost by accident and life changed forever. I was lucky enough to have a coupla bucks for decent starter gear, plus one gorgeous little Mesa head I have absolutely no right to own....and voila.....7 years later....I STILL suck!

[@mknewlan67]

HobPaws waited till I’m 51. Just now starting

[@pauldenniss5230]

The Captain is not the only one who has been stuck in a musical rut, I’m learning with each episode, well done both excellent series of videos

[@Colttyler]

This is an excellent series! Pete legitimately makes me feel bad about my playing skills but then Captain just builds my confidence! Break me down Pete and build me up Captain! It’s Good cop / Bad cop at it finest...

[@Kwert]

Kudos to you for putting your practice up on a public forum! In 20+ years of studying music and playing cello professionally, one of the most important things I came to learn about practice is that it shouldn't sound good. What I mean by that is, we practice things we're bad at in order to become better. If you only just play whatever you're already good at, you'll never improve in the way you want to. Be comfortable with sounding bad at first, and working something up until it sounds good, and then move on to the next thing you want to improve at. Playing and practicing are two very different things, and while I believe every practice session should involve some playing, I don't think that should be your primary focus if you are indeed looking to improve.

[@DebmalyaSinha]

Seriously can’t appreciate these enough!

[@tomfairbairn1202]

That Purple Tele is amazing

[@crazylegslife]

forever, i was a position 1 and half of position 2 pentatonic player...over the last yeasr i have become bent on learning all 5 positions and it has opened up so much more.... this was a great watch. thank you.

[@MrASA93]

Ever consider releasing a comprehensive series of lessons with Pete teaching the basics all the way to the advanced stuff, I know I would certainly pay for such lessons. :)

[@kc.88]

Same thoughts! I think it'll be really helpful.

[@Jonboyutube]

I would also pay for that. Total beginner (I've never played a guitar) to at least good amateur level

[@84crich]

I'm counting down until lesson 5 these things are gold dust. I think I'm addicted to the Anderson's channel.

[@minerva6]

Pete’s honesty and transparency is 10/10

[@IngleArf]

I have felt like the captain for years. Stuck in my box. This lesson series is exactly what I needed. Can’t thank The Captain and Danish Pete enough!

[@markuskoivisto]

This is really some of the greatest content you have ever done. I've been trying to convince others to start taking lessons again as an adult, and these videos make a very good case for them. Thank you so much.

[@Hendrix.]

Finally I find a lesson that expands my ability, you guys are awesome, I'm actually gaining fretboard knowledge, licks and runs and WHY you do it. Knowing WHY guitar players are doing what they do and what they're thinking is very cool and useful.

[@patrickohagan8305]

I cant say enough how much i like these videos. It somehow is about the joy of guitar and not about the gear I can't afford.

[@Lemmysfinger]

This is a brilliant series guys.

[@snappy-strat-snacks1551]

These lessons are spectacular! Lee, your playing has improved tremendously plus you're really fortunate because you're getting lessons from a kick ass player in Pete. Love these videos! Keep up the good work!

[@FrankThaThird]

Don’t ever stop these, grade A+ quality content here.

[@humbuck59]

Awesome sessions that help me a lot... can so relate to the Captain when he says he’s been playing for years but is frustrated with his learning... that’s totally me! Every time I watch I pick up a new nugget from you guys... please keep posting

[@goldbug1974]

Thank you to both of you for posting these lessons. It takes a lot of courage to open up like this. Props to you both

[@kevinseintu212]

Bought the album of jam tracks last night, so worth it! Thanks Pete!

[@lotusmark2]

Great great great great....... love seeing the progression in these!!!!

[@JasonCone]

Love when that tele comes out. What a great guitar.

[@ESCHLICHTE]

We need more videos like these from Pete and Captain! This is fantastic!

[@JMWorship7]

When I first started to watch the Andertons videos, I was at a stage where I wanted to learn blues and just wished I could be as good as Lee. A few years on, and I still feel Lee is way ahead. He’s a great guitar player and it’s great to see him get better and better in each video!

[@EricCPOP]

Watching this back in 2021. Oh how The Cap improved so much thanks to Pete. The Cap must be cringing at his playing back then now but it's not like it was bad at all!

[@aaront7041]

Love the new series! I have been a musician my entire life but I am new to lead guitar playing and find so much info out there just doesn't help me bridge the gap between what I already know and what I am trying to do so thanks Capt for asking the questions we all want to know and Pete for working it out.

[@matrajao]

This series is incredible and very suited for me because I'm basically on the same level of playing of Captain, struggling with the very same issues. Even his comment about the challenge of playing standing vs seated is an issue I face. Thank you very much for providing us with so amazing content. Greetings from Brazil

[@lewisross4044]

I genuinely get excited when a new video from this series gets uploaded. I love it so much! I wish it was acceptable to stick the kids to bed at half 4 so I can hurry up and play along!!

[@thomasharding5598]

Niiiiice Always great to see Lee busting out the blues ;) Great work as usual guys!

[@ajkourafas]

I LOVE these! Please do more, maybe even a whole series of the different fantastic players in your organization giving lessons to those among you with varying skills. On a side note (sorry Lee) it is SO GOOD to see that same look of frustration from partial understanding on the face of a player I look up too! Its inspiring in a weird way.

[@t6c756]

Good job! Both to Lee for stretching his limits in front of an audience, and Pete for holding him to task. Well done!

[@aplakides]

It's great to see how much Lee achieved in this video alone. Well done!

[@w1ckedbackhand]

I look forward to these vids! Pete is one of my favorite players on KZbin. Thanks so much!

[@isaacjohnson.]

Really love this. Great job, and thanks for doing this series.

[@druidavey]

Loving this series. I think it's possibly of help to many many people. Thanks guys

[@romyoverlandingandoutdoors2566]

Absolutely admire Cap’s humble take on playing guitar. I enjoy watching him play.

[@sonicgli]

I've been using Dunlop grip picks for years and never though to use the grip to grab the strings. Loving this series fellas!

[@kc.88]

Salute Captain and Pete and all the crew! Love this series!

[@murder_out]

This series has been so cool. I feel like a lot of people might be in the same boat as Captain Lee. I don’t really have a huge desire to dive into theory, but those little revelations are enough to make you really love the instrument.

[@E33Tpro]

I wanna give Lee BIG propps for doing this on video for everyone to see, it's not as easy as people might think trying to learn in front of someone with a way different experiences than you!

[@adamlonghorn9341]

just loving these lesson-with-Pete vids. Is it just me or do those two guitars sound SOOO resonant? Just gourgeous.

[@couchkamote]

that short duran duran jam at the end sent me into a "music of the 80s" youtube binge. thanks andertons.

[@marksmith9874]

Love it - I'm in the same position as the Captain - long time player - this is perfect series for me. Thanks

[@gianfuretto_]

Hy Andertyon's guys,i really appreciate your work here,and in my humble opinion,you've been able to explain a big argoument about guitar,expecially for "new guys",in a really understandable and easy to use way (as in the previous videos of these serie). I really love when these two guys talks about guitar plaiying and also when they plays some good blues in the middle of that. I'm looking forward for more lessons and hoping some day you'll decide just to put on the net an awesome jam with all the great guys at Andertons showing their all time favourite gear stocked there. C'mon,that already sound awesome! Thanks again for your job guys,and sorry for my not so good english. Cheers from italy.

[@01weskus]

Its so fantastic that you are so authentic....being just yourselves

[@richyriff]

Loving this Jam Sessions series. Keep making more of them!

[@HudsonHandel]

Honestly the best lesson I’VE had in a while.

[@EM-df6mo]

These are great guys, you have no idea how helpful these are to a lot of us. Its at least making it fun and showing us how tough it is for other folks to get it as well. I haven't missed one yet and I won't so, Thank You both. Pete is a great teacher for what your trying to do and where its headed. Just relax and Practice and your own the way. (So are we).

[@CNCTEMATIC]

This series is awesome! As someone having lessons myself to try and up my game at the moment, I have a suggestion for Lee: try to become comfortable with being uncomfortable. It's in that state where it feels frustrating and uncomfortable and embarrassing that your brain is actually learning something new. So try to stick there. Hard to do; I find it near impossible myself. But I try to keep reminding myself in those moments of frustration. cheers

[@2rdn274]

Love these lessons, keep them coming... Please.

[@edhalbach9550]

These are so much fun! Keep ‘em comin’!

[@larsolufsen]

I (poorly) ripped off the loop in the beginning and just had the best 2 hours of major scale noodling in my life. So simple, so groovy, so fun to play! Oh, and Lee ... I feel your pain, man!

[@jayroldvillacrusis3695]

Minor Blues next! Loving the series guys. Learning a lot.

[@r2x3258]

Excellent point about the pick! Has helped me a lot! Switched from 0.73mm to 1.00mm...sometimes even the Dunlop 1.14mm...did wonders!

[@hbert06]

Absolute GREAT lesson once again! There is no better lesson on blues soloing out there inho!

[@CarstenPeterOlsen]

I want you guys to start a guitar course. Starting from absolute beginners with a new lesson every week.

[@anthonywhite676]

More excellent entertainment. It's a pleasure to watch, thank you.

[@bungy007]

Your intro is exactly where I am. Spot on. cheers

[@greatvanzini]

very good discussion. Jam tracks are great fun & helps with learning.

[@dixon9]

3 frets below...(not 4) ))) I must say though..really enjoyable lessons format - I can really relate to Lee's "qualms" ... I have asked ...and am still asking very similar questions.

[@mistermonsieur7890]

That was awesome! Almost as awesome as the acoustic paradiso episodes!

[@espenskeys]

A great video! For years I have felt like I was missing out. The reason is I learned playing by my ear and I always felt inferior because other players knew their theory, their systems, theirs scales and such - not that there's anything wrong with that - hell the majority of people learn music by the sense of sight and not the sense of hearing, but it is nice to see a video validating the people who chose different paths.

[@justinhobgood4312]

I love how passionate pete gets when explaining stuff

[@martint.5913]

I can watch you guys for days 🤘

[@Anton_the_Vampire]

Enjoying these & learning stuff myself. Thank you.

[@leegardner3617]

These lessons are great, thanks.

[@joeminnes4950]

Keep them going guys, I feel exactly the same as Lee. I’ve learned good stuff today, cheers

[@midnightpancakes700]

At the end you can hear he’s radically improved. Well done Captain

[@PatrickCebulla]

Thank You guys - I love this guitar lessons. Greetings from Germany.

[@63kOhm]

It's difficult to target those notes without understanding the chords. It's clear that you are trying to avoid learning that stuff and just focusing on simple things that sound good, but knowing your chords might actually simplify your single notes choices. Really enjoyed the series...love Pete's playing.

[@cnelsonmusic]

I worked in a music shop for a handful of years and taught more lessons (beginner//some intermediate) than I’d like to remember, and the “tone” thing always inevitably comes up, but I remember the moment I set down my standard Fender branded pick and strummed with one of those nylon picks and realizing that THAT made more of a difference than any tone wood comparison I’ve ever heard. Picks are the most underrated source of tone-variation!

[@David_analogue01]

Every so often I'll wander back through the Andertons TV catalogue and you;re always guaranteed to get a gem of some kind. The great thing is at this point (he's got so much better more recently) he's much better than me at the blues minor pentatonic stuff, but about the same as me at everything else so I get a lot out of this (and the lessons he does with Justin). Pete makes me laugh as he clearly has the capacity to speak music like a language and doesn't completely get why other people can't, but tries to be nice about it!

[@AnBru]

this is brilliant, thank you pete

[@andyreynolds5575]

Thank you so much for these videos,, really inspiring 🤘😎🤘

[@bernardoestrela6029]

You can tell this guy is 10x the player chapman is and all he was doing was teaching. Absolute class

[@t6c756]

Bernardo Estrela Chappers declared looong ago that Pete was the better player - and has learned some things from him. Pete's stepped up his game too. They all benefit from each other and we see the results; it's all good.

[@micha-elcleveland1265]

For the "Bookish" people - "The Gig Bag Book of Practical Pentatonics" is an excellent reference tool and source of inspiration.

[@paultwiselton1996]

Another BRILLIANT lesson guys, thanks AND I soooooo want a Danish Pete purple Tele! You gonna have to stock a coupla hundred of those babies Capt!!!

[@eulaliogarcia_comu]

I really enjoy these series, guys...😊

[@xxdr34m5xx_4]

What really helped me with my technique was standing up and or buying a barstool type guitar seat where you can put up the left foot to support the classical playing position

[@jimbaines335]

brilliant fun and enlightening.....keep them coming !

[@12fishez]

I live in Canada, and I’m in the uk right now and today I went down to guilford to check out andertons. Great selection and friendly staff. Very busy however. I got caught up and ended up buying a pedal haha. Great shop lee and squad

[@deon5329]

Good job Lee. I recognize this struggle as well. I've been learning some jazz and its a different game trying to target notes and play the the changes closely.

[@marcpaters0n]

Ah, the ol' three-in-a-line trick. I had a huge breakthrough with that thanks to Pete.

[@toddwilliams1444]

Anxiously awaiting Lesson 5!

[@Ganesh.krish0212]

Awesome... Loved it absolutely...

[@TimothyBlairMusic]

This is my favourite video of all time!!! Oh Captain I feel your pain! And Pete,you are Yoda.

[@goodnightmediaintl]

18:47 was my waking moment once Pete showed an easier and simple pentatonic example, and then adds the accents after and shows when to use them. God damn these videos are mind expanding for guitar players really trying to make another break through in blues phrases.

[@benbutterworth7584]

Good tip on using the grip on picks. The Edge introduced this idea to me, I hasten to add, not in person! It gives so much more dynamic to a sound.
