The Easiest Way to Start Playing Lead on Guitar

[@jameshagan429]

Sean probably some the best lessons I have found on KZbin. I’m a retired NYPD Sergeant who has picked up guitar at age 57. Smaller hands but I’m practicing at least 1 hour a day or more for the last 5 months. I have Epiphone les Paul custom pro, a LTD KH602 and a Yamaha Acoustic. 5150 EVH 40w tube amp. So keep up the great work making my journey easier

[@seandaniel23]

So happy you’re finding the vids helpful! Keep up the good work yourself!

[@swordfire7771]

Man, I'm 60, always dreamed about learning guitar!

[@ronniescerri4111]

⁠@@swordfire7771it’s never too late! Probably easy for me to say at 16 after already playing for 5 years, but honestly learning guitar is one of the best things you can do, and it feels so bloody rewarding once you start actually being able to play and put things together, you should definitely give it a go!

[@glowiever]

my hand is also smaller than average, I picked up a smaller guitar (has fewer frets than full sized one) and it's perfect for me

[@cameronrudd1280]

Learning guitar? Wait don’t touch that skip button... this will change is everything... skips

[@seandaniel23]

savage!

[@jkdsonly6233]

This is going to change your life

[@johnwick3269]

Man look these dudes make money from idiots who are desperate to play guitar is easy once you learn the basics and the with power chords you can play any song but it will take practice obviously and anyone can shred decently but what's important and what's really cool about guitar is it doesn't matter what sounds good to other people it's what sounds good to you how your playing makes you feel about it and how good it sounds

[@pascalugwunweze]

Every f*cking time😂

I play the guitar upside down. Ypu gave me the key to explore beyond my ability of playing that I have been searching for, for a very long time. I always had a hard time doing leads. I am so grateful I watched your video on this. I've searched outt a few before hand, but something clicked with how you were playing. Thank you graciously

[@mboyer68]

For anyone to get anything out of this video, they'd have to know scales, the notes that make up each cord and the root notes, all the notes on the fretboard, scales, etc.. "The easiest way to start playing lead on guitar". You're a great guitar teacher...for advanced guitarists. I think what would help a lot would be if you started out your videos with a list of things you expect people to know already. And if someone knows all that already, they won't need your video.

Trying to learn SOLO, I find this, and now I can follow almost any song (not perfectly though) after barely half an hour! this is awesome!!!

[@Brianmaunder]

One of the best intro into basics I’ve seen . Concise and no waffling on. Thanks mate

This is amazing. This is probably the greatest explaination out there, please make this a series

I just love the EXPLANATION OFkeeping it simple and Targeting the triads of the chords and using relative min...Great building blocks here...Thanks..this really helps !!!

[@TheSTEEBOS]

Thanks man. I'm at the stage where I've been practicing different scales for a while & I'm just starting to solo over backing tracks. I pretty much knew all the stuff you talked about in the video. This just put it all together in a way that just clicked. I appreciate it. Keep on keepin on.

Happy to help! Keep rockin!

[@gorionrod3930]

Thanks Man I know How to Play Guitar know all Notes What Is Missing Is Lead Guitar The Way You Teach Is Easy I Will Fallow every step Thank You For Taking Your Time To teach us and Make This & Other Videos.

[@acousticknights9654]

That's awesome! Another simple breakdown that any listener can take anywhere. Badass man

[@seandaniel23]

Happy to help!

[@GJHamann]

Good idea. Thinking in terms of 2 chords at a time helps to simplify. In a 1 4 5 progression as you move from the 1 -> 4 or 4 -> 5 or 5 to 1 focus on each pair if you know the song well. But, rely on the pentatonic or scale of the key if you are unfamiliar with the song structure.

[@gregorygalati3435]

Thanks dude this actually helped me get out of My mind funk and understand a little bit

[@Ten2More]

This helped so much! Explains the "King Box" and why it works - it is the major scale. Add the minor pentatonic in the relative minor. Rinse and repeat for the IV and V. It all clicks! Thank you!

[@drewbairdummel]

The introduction hooked me.

[@yudipitre5720]

I love this guy he good at what he teaches and funny all in one. Makes it interesting

[@thomasmclaurin7036]

I like this. This is some good tips on clearing the mystery on these riffs the pros basically use when they started.

[@JimLarranaga5k]

Another great lesson Sean! And a good example of how solo, improve really comes from the chord tones. The more chord voicings we learn, the the more scales we learn.

[@geralynpalacol9295]

So that’s what its called: “a looper pedal✅” - Thanks for this Lesson🎸🎸🎸

[@mrright3448]

Hey Sean thanks after watching so many videos I finally got a better introduction to the house of blues pattern to this video with the slide the major third and then towards the root again. Thanks again I really appreciate your videos

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much !

[@mrright3448]

@@seandaniel23 Hey Sean today was a great day for me man I didn't really used much of what I saw in the video but I tell you this guy on six string country channel did a walkthrough once that I was practicing for a little while man now that I've been pleased with my solos from today I'll start practicing your pattern now to improvise on what I did today bro thanks again!

[@Aluminata]

That's a very cool little snippet of lead insight. Even I can understand that - and actually make interesting things with it. 😄

Happy to help Ralph!

Sliding from the 3rd into the root note... that's the most recognizable part of Cassidy by the Grateful Dead ;)

I must've picked it up from Ian

[@HyzersGR]

Sean Daniel also, I graduated from GVSU and practice guitar in my store in Standale!

[@grandpasmuse]

Thank you much. Great info. Happy independence day.

[@Raambzy]

thanks for literally making some of the most helpful guitar videos on youtube I guess

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much for saying so!

[@beansurg]

Another way to think of why the e minor shape works over the G chord is because it's the same as G major pentatonic. Same with the a minor over C chord cuz its C major pentatonic.

[@Ridesfar]

Great instructional from beginner to intermediate guitar player.

[@emoses]

Your 'to the point' ability is great!

Im struggling doing vibrato, when i return my fingers after vibrato it always hit the top strings and makes different sounds, what should i do?

[@stewea57]

In the mind of Sean , oh yeah!

[@seandaniel23]

You know it!

[@jimmy5634]

Once you grasp this simple concept, you can play nice little solos. Truth is, you can solo in G and C without ever leaving that base position in G

“Demystifying the fretboard . . . “ - nice, thx

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks for watching!

[@goffdroid]

I know most of the pentatonic scale shapes .. just don't know where the roots are some of them I do.. when ya moved up to the 5th fret playing 5-7 on the A,D,G. A minor and C are the same scales right ? I outline all the barre chord shapes by notes too...

[@fedricklakadonglakadong5179]

I learn a lot from you and it is really helpful for me and if it is possible can you please slow down a little bit because it is very fast and i cannot followed the way you're playing

[@DanielPereira-vp7fo]

Wow never thought of playin in that way thanks

[@damien6685]

Made excellent sense. Which, considering a year ago that content would have gone straight over my head a crashed in flames taking hordes of innocent school children with it. Something I can now use to piece all the disjointed skills I've acquired together into a single concept. Cool Bananas. A question: I have a looper in my Boss GT-1, and amps for my electric in various flavours and strengths, I'm presuming you are looping into an amp, would that be an acoustic amp? One time - at band camp - I plugged my acoustic into a normal guitar amp and was almost blasted into orbit with the feedback.

[@seandaniel23]

Good call. I'm actually looping it into my Bose Compact. So it's a PA, which is essentially an acoustic amp.

[@jc3teacher265]

Thanks, I appreciate the lesson.

Woke up this morning to the pouring rain, the wind would whisper and I'd think of you......

[@starsandguitars2050]

Well done as always.

[@storm14k]

Are those shapes based on something that can be studied or practiced or is it just experimenting around that root and 3rd? Speaking of the first shapes before the pentatonics.

[@juliannastukel9553]

Check out Triads

[@seandaniel23]

Yeah they're basically the 3 notes in that chord, plus the 6th note in the scale (relative to any major chord you want to use with them). So you can see it as a little piece of a scale, or as Jul said, a triad plus 1 extra note.

[@jayfreeman3004]

Yes..learn the "caged" system..through which you will see cord shapes and the corresponding scales as you move up the neck....dont give up..its not magic ..its practise 🤓

[@scottnicoltv]

Love it...from Scotland

[@hamkaab3634]

Light bulb... So even though the original key of that piece was G Major where C Major is one of its chords, relative minor pentatonics to both chords can be used on top of them. I thought only minor pentatonic related to the key (G Major) that would work. Many thanks!

[@seandaniel23]

You got it! Thanks for watching!

[@pakistaniartist]

I know minor pentatonic. I can do a solo on pentatonic scale but how do I introduce dynamic like your solo? Of course I don't remember the whole fretboard notes so I can just put my finger anywhere and start sliding here and there to make sense of music. Could you please help in this manner? Thanks. Ali

[@hibernianmelody6761]

Awesome video Sean. Thank you.

[@samuelfrench9665]

so you can play minor pentatonic over a major chord? so you would'nt do G major and C major pentatonic?
