You NEED to be a LITTLE Less Basic

[@scotthack2632]

OK I just want to say many of your videos are dealing with some things that are just beyond my level of ability yet. But I watch you constantly because for one, I’m gonna learn something that may be helpful or may be helpful in the future. But mostly because I absolutely love your sense of humor. I think you’re one of the best at dealing with snotty comments. Your sense of humor and the way you handle them is just a joy to watch. I dub thee “Sean the Jolly TROLL CRUSHER!!” Go forward jolly knight and slay! 😝

[@seandaniel23]

The slaying shall continue!

[@danny1959]

You absolutely ARE doing what you could be doing with a communications degree right now. I'm going to say "taffy" for the taste of Andy Guitar's hair. My way of maintaining discipline is knowing that if you stop practicing for a period of time, you lose your calluses and have to work through the pain all over again.

[@seandaniel23]

Plus just a dash of shame.

[@danny1959]

@@seandaniel23 That´s ALWAYS there, though.

[@samraffertymusic]

Just saw Andy's vid. Love how he's so very British and polite and you're just flexing at any given opportunity 😆 Also congrats on 300k!

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much Sam!

[@SFMtx123]

I think a video with all the different "diatonic" chords you can make from different scales would be very helpful!

[@slingerace]

Learn the diatonic chords in C and you've learned how to easily find the diatonic chords in all keys. The pattern is the same for each key. You might find this vid helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpiQq417mbOaacU

[@SFMtx123]

@@slingeracethis is true for scales and modes based on natural minor but he was talking about harmonic minor in the video. Which is different.

[@seandaniel23]

Good idea.

[@shaneconnelly1769]

You are a good man Sean

[@davidbutler6638]

Def would love to see you break it down in-depth and see you throw some handsome gentleman licks in there to get spicey. Stop reading these comments homie.

[@MikeDGuitar]

Good explanation regarding varying chord progressions using different scales! The harmonic minor scale now makes sense to me, and it could add some spice to some traditional progressions. I can see the pattern with the chord steps. Maybe you can talk a little on the melodic minor scale in the future. I'm sure the major six and the major seven intervals would make the chords more difficult to think about but certainly more dynamic in sound.

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks for checking it out! Definitely will be covering that soon!

[@miked7295]

I'd like to comment on the favourite album question. I don't think there could ever be a favourite album. One moment you like hard rock, then metal, then psychedelic rock, then poprock etc. One moment I like Pink Floyd, then I like The Beatles, then I like Cream, then I like Black Sabbath, then I like Nirvana, then I like Neil Young/CSNY, and even sometimes I like J. Cole. It really depends on the mood.

[@doncaviness7961]

Yes!

[@joestrobe5318]

I'd love to see you do a deeper dive video into the crazy chords generated by other scales, so I can sit on my couch and watch and not have to actually figure out for myself that a lot of those chords sound terrible. #saltychordcomment

[@seandaniel23]

I'm on it!

[@maxkelter3561]

Music and a Communications Major definitely has the link.

[@seandaniel23]

[@jpzografos331]

Can you please do a video on this major minor chord you talked about? I heard someone else mention this one other time but all I could think was how is it major and minor. Mind is blown 🤯

[@christopherpeters3922]

Spent a few minutes eyeballing that orangewood because I'm now addicted to orangewoods

[@paulklimovv]

Actually hope you’re gonna make this video you were talking about

[@seandaniel23]

I definitely shall!

[@palhaassada3045]

Hey my man do you have any tutorial or similar on this type of strumming @ 2:05 sounds neat as all hell

[@alansimpson8962]

Andy is cool and yep hendrix loved blue based guitarists

[@marcmurray8847]

When are you doing a Udemy course with Patrick?

[@barrycoulter6951]

I sure would like to see a little more chord substitution, making non-diatonic chords for new directions in progressions and ways to mix chords up for ‘verse and chorus and bridge’ progressions ....

[@seandaniel23]

It shall be done!

[@cholepriccee2069]

My brother is getting a degree in communications to become a preacher. He says it’s useful for a lot of jobs but it sounds to me like it’s such a broad degree that it ends up meaning nothing. At least you have a bachelors degree Sean.

[@sono1739]

Superunknown!!! That was my AOL instant messenger screen name back in the day lol. I thought you were going to say either Ok Computer or In Rainbows as fav album. I think mine is Temple of the Dog.

[@seandaniel23]

all great choices :)

[@greg7656]

As a fellow Communications major from way back, I feel confident telling you that you're already doing way more with that degree than 99.9% of the rest "Comm Arts" suckers. And as for that "American Accents Only" guy, he's asking the wrong person - Sean Daniel has a unique accent all his own-uh

[@seandaniel23]

Com majors unite!

[@maximemichiels]

Love your humor brow, hopefully you can show some nice fingerstyle in the future

[@MrShahid0072]

I know you are a strokes fan. Did you like the new song Sean?

[@chrisa3961]

i like Andy. I actually know his channel longer than yours (but you are more entertaining). He is cool. For songs I usually go to Justin Sandercoe and Marty. And for the tips and tricks to Mr Stich :-)

[@puffinlittle]

Greetings, like the idea if switching a note in the key concept. More on this would be helpful. thanks, pax, PL

[@daveshearer1961]

Which Orangewood guitar are you playing there? I have purchased two of them. So far and I am really becoming a fan.

[@seandaniel23]

It's a Sage. Love it.

[@christopherpeters3922]

Agreed...im very happy with my orangewoods

[@themusiqfreak]

"Miss-sold your college degree? All that hard work and debt and you still end up in an entry level minimum wage job? You may be entitled to compensation. Even if you no longer have any student debt. Contact us now for a free consultation..." (I studied a Communications degree too...)

[@1dantown]

You could use your communications degree to ask SyndieJo to sing a song on KZbin while you play guitar.

[@mertgunes9854]

Did I just hear that right, you started playing in college? Also, I was thinking about the different chords idea, like what would chords in a Japanese scale look like etc. I think you should definitely do a video about these

[@JasonAmerica]

I think you just wrote an Ani Difranco jam.

[@edsinrise9803]

Discipline? Like with whips and ball gags? Is that what is in the Master Class?

[@trig_assassin]

I wanna see the in-depth stuff most definitely

[@JPVanderbuilt]

Sean, when you are finished with the fun guitar phase of your life, what sort of real job are you planning to do?

[@TheWayneReport]

So fun to sit down on a wednesday and learn.... wait... they give out communication degrees? Man, I should have gone for that.

[@bungalowbluesman]

Re Harmonic minor - yes please☹️👍🏻

[@seandaniel23]

It shall be done!

[@richlight]

Ahhh yes when I think lf.the blues Sean Daniel ..... 1st guy I think of. I woke up this morning..... styled my hair...... grabbed my guitar , and jammed with my Celtic band duh nun nun nun nah, Duh duh, duh duh..... lmao duh nah nah nah nah nah nah nuh huh nah. Has to write the turn around also.... lmao

[@richlight]

I would suggest if he wants to teach guitar to not need to study to stay ahead of his students. If a student catches up to you , or stumps you, should you really be teaching hahaha. All though I started my guitar teaching career and I'm here watching... so um. Pot and the kettle. No I have only taught people basics hoping for eventual jam partners

[@cholepriccee2069]

Sean! Were you wearing jeans while hugging Patrick?

[@seandaniel23]

Hell no! Corduroys for the win!

[@zacnation]

I would enjoy a more in-depth look at this

[@sicko_the_ew]

Not yet everyone's favourite album, but someone recently uploaded *Songs for Ships and Irons* kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnm3YYiQpL6NiKs Some of the songs are jack-in-the-box surprising, and others can be used as studies in how to get the most out of a plain ole bag of major chords. (Well that's what Tim's friends said at their do to celebrate the honorary doctorate.) (I seem to remember you liked _Big Ship_ so it'll at least have a good start for you.)

[@seandaniel23]

thanks for watching

[@amirkhalid5449]

I guess a degree in communication is not so much about you learning stuff, more about learning general life skills.

[@seandaniel23]

I suppose one could say that

[@slingerace]

All that a guy with a communications degree means is that he liked hanging around hot chicks in college. By the way, congrats on 300k!

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much!

[@notreadytogig]

A minor? This is the year of D.. come on bro! Btw great video.

[@dcarts5616]

Some kind of Mormon trap? Explain...

This videos for all us basic bitches lmao

[@russride]

You can always trust a guy in a purple shirt.

[@darionbuck8864]

But only when hes wearing it. Just simply owning one doesn't earn trust.

[@ronlight7013]

Sorry to have to diss on Andy, but he did something to demonstrate he's not the kind of instructor I'd ever recommend. A young, beginning student wrote to Andy asking (with an air of desperation) for the underlying rationale for chord structure - i.e. what determines the notes she need play on guitar to "define" a given chord. Personally, I found this quite a reasonable question, especially for someone new to guitar. Andy's response was totally dismissive, saying that it would serve no useful purpose for him to explain this to her, and that she should just learn the chord shapes without regard for why they are the way they are. Shssssh! Not my guitar teacher!

[@yuothineyesasian]

I am the one blues guy that downvoted, come at me bro.

[@seandaniel23]

Watch yo back!

[@fishypaw]

(Some, not all) Americans are "funny" at times. Like "Hey dude your Scottish accent sounds weird and you pronounce words weird". If I reply, well we created the language so we pronounce words correctly, and you have quite a strong accent. They'll be like "what accent?". 😅

[@thaabstrakt]

Stevie actually isn’t blind. You fell for the lie. Quit listening to the MSM.
