Great lesson. I’m a GIT grad as well.

[@matrixpub]

Your knowledge shows a lot of what a good guitarist needs to know. It is not just simply hitting a few strings. I have been taking lessons for the last 3 months, and together with watching your videos have shown me how much there is to learn. I like the way you explain what you are doing and why. I enjoy your videos. Thanks

I loved "Guitar for the Practicing Musician" magazine and I still have stacks of them all these years later.

[@alessandrorigo6810]

That's gold! Really hard to find good quality studies like this around KZbin

[@creativeguitarstudio]

Thanks. I try my best!

[@amitabhaelliott]

Okay this is brilliant. I really need to learn all of my notes and this makes much more musical sense than just quizzing the notes. Thank you.

[@ianmcevoy9936]

Fun stuff mate and very helpfull,cheers.

[@beyondlimits250]

You have a nice touch on the guitar !

[@Tombo1230]

Another great lesson Andrew. Watching your video I see a pattern for how to count frets on the following string, to get to the next F or G or whatever the note selected is. I can work it out in my head now, adding the 2nd string offset as well. Now to put it on the guitar.

[@stephenmitchell7915]

Wow! Great practice ideas. I know I have to un-learn a lot of bad habits learned over the past 40 years! I used to sight-read euphonium music many years ago. Not many double stops encountered there!

[@ethanchouinard4157]

This is a great video. Thanks.

[@stevecastor4298]

Thankx I have been reading music since I was in 1st grade, but knowing the exact on guitar is a different story, as for octaves I had a genius of a teacher which he was a jazz player (Greg Moore RIP), he told me when I was 16 he had the key, unfortunately I didnt realize till I turned 34 and I am 49 now..

[@MichaelConferPhoto]

You have fantastic lessons. Thank you for all your knowledge.

[@russellnieto5529]

Very good, helping me move forward. Well taught, thank you

[@robertkunz4266]

I learned the neck as fourths,(Chord Wheel). Want to move into better ways. I like this at this time. We'll see? I can se an advantage here on paper that I made notes on. I do read music, but with the guitar neck I need to learn more. Reading music is the way to go. Thanks for confirming that.

[@edjones1183]

Sweet.thanks.

[@Dutchy1949]

Hi Andrew, what is that piece of music in the introduction? It's really beautiful. Could you teach me to play it? It may take me a while, like several months to learn such an awesome piece. I usually just play acoustic guitar, a little bit of fingerpicking and a few chords, but I would love to really learn to play. Just got my first electric guitar a few weeks age. Did I tell you I had my 70th birthday last year? It would be crazy to learn this.

[@dennisgodaire485]

Thank you ... quite thought provoking ... can't wait to start a more thorough examination of the fret-board ... again, thanks.

As a self taught guitar player with limited success as I am unable to afford lessons as I am disabled and on a very low income I have found your site illuminating I can't read music I have tried and tried I know the basics as I am now 58 I practice every day but have never progressed very much in all the years I have been trying to play I was a late starter in my fourtys when I picked up my first second hand guitar and I had a friend when I worked who showed me the basics and got me started but as I became disable through an accident I lost contact so I have relied on you tube and the Internet for the few free bees you get the problem is they only give you teesers so you start to learn then you hit a brick wall as they want payment and for somebody like me were a bag of sweets is the only luxury I can afford once a week there must be a lot like me in the same situation who love the guitar not just love it it has become an addiction I am lucky to have three wonderful grown up children who buy me good birthday presents so I have a good amp and guitar not a expensive one a couple of hundred pounds about two thirty dollars in American money I ihave a ibanez guitar which I love to bits it's great to play and learn on anyway your site has taught me so much in a few of your lessons than all the other put together you sir are an amazing tutor one day soon as my parents have recently passed away I have there house to sell between me and my sister so it will be able to pay all my debts of and mortgage so I will hope to get some full lessons from yourself but in the meantime I will be following and will be starting right from the beginning of your amazing videos as I will say again your site is one of the few which gives us a full lesson not just teesers well done sir I cannot highly praise your efforts as the highest and I will she and let people know you are one of the few out there who care about us lowly people who cannot afford lessons. Ps if you wish to use my statement about yourself and your amazing hard work be my guest so all the best from John from Rugby Warwickshire UK.ps sorry about the grammes my tablet is old and feeble lol.

[@Ditch1221]

I enjoy and learn from every video from Andrew. So this comment is not to be taken as a slam or even smart guy. All the exercises I seen on here and from my teacher and other places all seem like they are amazing to do and work at. My thing is how much exercise do you do ? I started the guitar late in life (62) and am now 67 and very passionate about it. I spend 6-8 hours a day at least with practice things. Someone told me just concentrate on the things you need help on but that’s everything. At times it really seems over whelming . I don’t want to get to a place where I dread practice, because I need it. However too much practice can take the fun away. Anyway, thank you Andrew.

[@EclecticEssentric]

If I may butt in, practice should be fun. Make little songs out of every excercise, even just a melody. I swear Phish made millions off of this.

[@creativeguitarstudio]

Just work in really short time frames, but hit as much as you can each day. My topic time frames are only "3" min. each. So, you could imagine how much I can hit in an hour. I work like that so nothing ever feels boring. I change topics often and run down loads of ideas every hour!

[@Tombo1230]

At the end of the day why do you play guitar? Hopefully to play music and have fun. I would hope you are playing songs and enjoying your music. Out of 6 to 8 hours practice, unless you’re a pro’ I would say two hours of concentrated study or exercises is more than enough ‘practice,’ For me I would say, make time for learning songs, have your difficult tune you are learning and also play some easy tunes just for fun. If your technique is not stunning by now with the time you have put into the instrument, then you should consider more concentrated practice approach that makes you get the most out of the shortest time period, quality over quantity. 15minutes concentrated work beats an hours loose practice. Use a timer for each section of your practice routine and watch your concentration go up along with your results. I hope this helps. Enjoy your instrument.

[@JB-jo1pf]

I'm 67, been learning for 4 years and know the feeling. I read that research shows our brain retains very little after practicing more than 30 minutes at a time. I know my brain appears to retain very little period!

[@43loudman]

andrew you are so cool to share this with us, thanks, i plan to buy lessons,.

[@Sephyr09]

Thanks Sir Andrew 👍🙏🤘

It really helps me to progress 👍

[@davehill5539]

The reading music section is interesting because i started with 3 yrs bass cleff decades ago on trombone. Electric bass fiddling about 10 yrs ago. Reading seemed of little use. im considering adding an electric to my accoustic now that i know alittle about cords - so soloing is entering the pic. Which seems much more like reading music. Thanks. All three sections are new ideas ill enjoy working on.

You're a good teacher I've learned some stuff off you but I have to slow down the video a little bit because you talk really fast and you move fast so but if I slow the video down just a little bit I can follow you and I've learned some thank you very much and by the way I love the Melodies you do too and I'm pretty sure you making them up yourself awesome

[@TheRavinoth]

Another great video. I found sheet music for the Beatles Day Tripper that also includes tab, so I'm going to work through the notes and then compare it to the position indicated on the tab.

Thanks you Andrew! I'm working on part 2 and this video helped on that. Also, I see great value in that note-finding excercize at the end. I know the fretboard quite well, but this will cement the positions of the notes in muscle memory as well.

[@glenguldbeckmusic3410]

Another fantastic lesson!!!!!! Thank you...

[@skintslots]

I am a beginner and I've found it easy just to memorise the notes on 3rd,5th and 7th frets(where the markers are) on strings 5 and 6 and assigning to them mnemonics like the Eddie Ate Dynamite Goodbye Eddie idea.

[@Ansis99]

Hi! I start to play piano in 5 years? After that I go to the Musical School and play clarinet and piano. Guitar is "abracadabra" for me, because on the piano and clarinet I see notes(fingers on buttons), but on the guitar neck I see nothing... The only way for me was paper glued on the neck with note signs on each paper clip... I am not only person with this problem. One of my friend from music school who play piano very good have same problem. I have 2 friends, guitar players. One play violin at MS, but second play guitar from 5 years in DIY style. Violin player tell, this is problem for all piano players, to understand "neck". 🎸🎹🎼

[@gr8dancerz82]

Nice! Very helpful!

[@l.horseman5704]

I do like what you are trying to do. Here is the BUT!! I AM 74 and i took up guitar 3 years ago. I can play chords and with the chords i can play around 200 songs. Time is what i do not have on my side. But i would love too be able to play all over the neck. Read music and it goes on and on. I should have started 50 years ago. But i would love to be able to play the neck. Is their a short cut? I just play for my own reward. I am sure you get my drift.

[@jeffthompson5004]

Very helpful!!! Thanks

[@jaydos92]

Well you made clicking sub a pretty easy choice.

[@alexfvcruz]

i'm going to mix that last exercise with the octave shapes and play the 3rd, 5th and 7th intervals in descending order to the root.

just messing around with it for 10 minutes I can already visualise the intervals much better, killer exercise.

[@angel_loves]

How do you know where the other same notes are on the neck?

[@REKlaus]

To me the last exercise was played "up side down" as I learned to play tablature with the top line being the low E. If played like that, all the F's should be the same pitch.

[@kingrobert1st]

This is a lot of fun on a 12 string!

[@michaeltuuaipea5070]

What kind of pedal do you use?

[@joebateman4874]

Not surprised that the word "work" keeps cropping up. If you truly want to learn the instrument, become a musician, become more than a guitar hack, you have to toss "lazy", "lackadaisical", and "unfocused" from your approach and couple "think", and "desire" with that word we started with.

[@h34rts9]

[@MAL1C10US1NT3NT]

Great lesson Andrew! I’d really like to know all the notes on the fretboard cold instead of having to work out what pitch I’ve landed based on where I am in relation to notes I do have down. 3 notes a day should be lemon squeezy!

[@mgannon81]

What do the dots represent on the fret board

[@johnmonroney8614]

The spacing is designed to offer the player a useful marker on the fretboard. Take the notes on the 6th string (in standard tuning), for example: Open (0th fret) is E. The F is only 1 fret away, why put a marker on the 1st fret? It's already marked by being the first fret The G is on fret 3, so put a marker there. The A is on fret 5, which is a perfect 4th from the open string, so it deserves a marker. B follows on fret 7, which is a perfect 5th from the open string, so another marked fret. Why there's a mark on fret 9, I'll never know, I wish it was on 10 for D instead of 9 for C# But you need a marker on 12, for certain - it's the octave! The 15, 17, and 19 are just 3, 5, and 7 + 12 (an octave), respectively. Its important to learn the major scale although its usually not the preferred choice of songs when mostbofvthe cooler songs are in minor or melodic minor but its important to learn , as it is essentially the dna of the other scales and modes. All there is 7 notes. You know what they are. Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La,Ti and back to Do. Learning say the Mixolydian mode just simply adds a flatted third to the scale. Playing a scale is not music. 7 scales, 7 modes. I think you should know these things but practice parts of songs that youre able to play comfotlrtably and learn a lot of phrasings to help you know where progressions wotlrk on the fretboard. Watch players and you will they syltick mainly in the certain boxes or between fret markers 1&3 1&4 3 &5 5&7 7&9 Then 10 & 12 and at 12 u go up an octave and its the same as 1 thru 12 as is 12 thru 21 or 22 or 24 depending on the scale length of guitar you play . Strats are usually 21 frets Gibsons PRS 24. Frets Basically the dots are just conveniant markers like a street sign to tell you where you are at. If you measutlre the fret board w a string and folfld it half youll see that half the length falls on the 12th fret fold it in half you get the 6th ahlgain the 3d. Music is just intervals of space along a vibrating string in guitar. Bass is torltally different. violin different. Whats the difference i dont know. I dont know music theory yet i just sitevread tab pr watch people play and learn that way but thats not learning music m. I can play some crazy stuff and ppl think wow he can play ask me and ill tell youni dont know didley. Lot of players are the same way. Music is cool because of its unforgiving nature. If you play a wrong note youll know it but then again music has no boundaries take yoko ono for example.

[@johnmonroney8614]

I suggest learning from a newschool approach like SpectreSoundStudios Glen Fricker just had a video up called i justlearned B Locrian checkout his guest. ALso Andrew Wasson but learn from many indmstructors Berley Online. So many talented teachers the Stitch Method. Never give up youll make it i promise ots hard but you can do it. I had naturally ability and blrw people b.c. away but i have a perfect memory and rythym is easy. I wanna play lead rhats a bit harder. We all are learning and no one knows everything except maybe Buckethead or Satriani, marty friedman dont strive to play fast learn slow then build speed you bnb will do iylt automatically. Learn easy songs 1st lots of you tubeveasy guitar songs. Good luck to you. Practice ptlractoice practice rule #2 rule #1 stay away from women they eat your soul. Play with em send em home

@@ItsMe-qq4lg , anyway, just play around anything, repeat if you get stuck. Make your own exercises out of problem points. A lot of songs either started as nascent, but good melody or plain exercises (riffs).

I do play pieces from TAB and notation. Good excuse to play melody pieces from notation and learn the neck. Thanks. I don't get why so many so quick to disregard reading notation.

Respectfully that is not a melody that would be considered a motif. A Melody is any 3 notes played in a sequence that is pleasing to the ear. You could have two melodies or even three Melodies one after the other. Such as taps. The camera eye from brush 3 Melodies played in a row.

[@boblawblaws604]

Look, I have a PHD in Musical Composition from Florida University. I have no clue "who" told you what a Melodic Motif is; But Listen, all it means is that it is ANY short succession of notes producing a single impression. So when you have any type of a brief melodic (or rhythmic) formula (out of which longer passages are developed), you have a Melody /Motif. That's IT!

[@Shawnee845]

I looked it up in a dictionary. It States any three notes played in a sequence that's pleasing to the ear. If it's 4 or 5 or more notes it's called a motif. 😁
