Your Guitar Playing will SOAR with This Technique

[@garyhardison1275]

Ive been a beginner all my life this is the video that my lights came on .Im all over the fretboard connecting cords and scales and it makes sense! Thanks my new favorite channel !

[@seandaniel23]

So great to hear it!

[@pablopistola5535]

Man, you cut through all the BS and make learning fun and easy. Not an easy task, no pun. Congrats!

[@NoesKicker]

This video is the most straight forward lesson on how to incorporate a scale into a chord progression I’ve seen. Thank you! These simple ideas help me so much

[@BodieHammer]

I fully agree!

[@kenarmstrong3842]

I just wanted to say thank you for this video, as it has helped this 67 yr old newb progress up a notch and make actual music while doing so. Two thumbs up from me!

[@JeremyRasch]

I love that chord progression, it’s like Simple Man by Skynyrd. The best. Love love everything about this video too. I’m learning to play riffs like this during my progressions also. Not sure why it took me 20 years to learn some of this, but we didn’t have KZbin back then either. What an amazing thing we have now and a great teacher. Thanks so much, Sean.

[@diegooland1261]

And remember, when you realize you're never going to make it back to C on time, you mute the strings with your left hand, and do the chicka chicka thing with your right, smile, and look to the bass player. He understand you're once again lost, does a fill, and mentally notes you owe him a drink for once again covering for you. The bass player then goes back to whatever it is they do while you resume the hard work.

[@gregmoore6596]

I’ve been playing for yrs and this is the best no nonsense approach I’ve heard very easy to follow and add too it’s helped me greatly to be able to use the entire neck and I’ve been trying For many yrs with good results but this simplifies things no boring music theory that I’ve never understood thank you Sean!

[@seandaniel23]

Happy to help!

[@DodgyBagehot]

Sean, I want to say thank you. I have have been watching your videos for several years. There are a number of guitar teachers on KZbin I enjoy, but you never fail to enlighten and entertain. It is so easy in the digital world to nitpick and critique those who provide the content. I'm happy you are able to see some of the negative comments, rebut, and find humor, but they frustrate me, as I don't want you to stop being you. Know there are many others like me, that appreciate all you do! Peace out!

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much for the kind words!! I'll keep it up :)

[@NoDoSwLa]

This feels rare. Really like that! Something you can take and use right away. Thanks Sean 🤝

[@GuitarOver40]

I started playing guitar later in life and have been at it for just over 3 years. I have learned from online teachers and watched tons of videos. I came across one of your videos the other day instantly loved your style and subscribed. You have a great way of translating all the lingo and movements that can overwhelm beginners. This video right here is another great example of that. Thanks for showing how to leave space, and create room for those lead lines. This is SO helpful for the stage I'm at. I'm burnt out from trying to play covers of songs and I want to create and explore music organically. Keep up the great work, I really appreciate it!

[@danscharman4266]

Wow, your ability flows like honey, thanks. When I try to replicate your instructions it’s a constant process of play - stop/freeze- try- repeat,,,,,,but again, “WOW” , even when I only get the smallest part right, it is so satisfying 🤟🤟 . I wish there was a “ university of Sean Daniel” where I could start- study and graduate, with just a thimble of your fluent knowledge of guitar and music theory 🎼. I’m 67 years old and you ( and others) keep me trying to turn back time and find that old fountain of youth 🎶🎶🎶🍺🍺

[@samraffertymusic]

Have you tried the Patreon? :)

[@simoto9009]

Just what I needed this week. I got captivated by a chord progression the other day, now I’ll be able to jam along with it around this idea. Thanks Sean your videos are just just the tool I need to progress at the moment.

[@lorigilmore5521]

Love this. Thank you. I'm going to try it.

[@darkomtobia]

Not even through the video and I'm saving this to watch again. This video really addresses an area that I've wanted to explore more in depth fir a long while...jumping to scale/solo spots from various chords to link them musically while improvising. Excellent stuff.

[@stevenreech8854]

Great explanation and lesson for the beginners out there. Well Done.

[@donald1841]

I tried learning guitar in my 30,s. But no one around me could stand listening to me practice and i received a lot of flack. Due to so much discouragement, i gave it up. Because of this i never learned to restring my guitar. At 63, and no one around to discourage me im learning again. Watching this video, i restrung my guitar for the first time. Im quite proud of myself actually. Thanks for the info.

[@seandaniel23]

Keep up the good work!!!

[@This_is_fine2024]

My girlfriend told me to stop practicing the other day... so i dumped her

[@rogerd9150]

Thanks for this amazing idea. You rock Sean! Love the Martin by the way....

[@buzzstankos8532]

Thanks Sean…. This is one of those ideas that i can see really improving my playing… The lesson is very well designed and delivered… I appreciate your help

[@danielgorski8722]

Just started taking in your tips vids. Although I've been playing for about 50 years, I've been stuck mostly with the seat of my pants and building a bag of tricks, likely with really bad habits and technique. Your posts are pretty digestible for folks like me -- thanks for helping us old timers grow!

[@ZainabSule]

This is the video that made me subscribe. You have a gift for explaining seemingly hard stuff.

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much for saying so! I'll keep em coming!

[@richardfedora2693]

I feel the guitar has so many secrets to uncover! I appreciate you exposing these secrets in all the hard work you do for us! You are truly the uncoverer of guitar secrets! Thanks so much for putting in the time to do this!,,

[@IsabellaHendrix-s1n]

Way to not quit on us SD!!! Thanks for all the great ideas!

[@JosephConradJR]

Sean, thank you. Keep on being you. Much appreciated.

[@seandaniel23]

Will do!

[@esthert6416]

Your teaching method is so comprehensive and I’m learning music theory with out you speaking a word about it.

[@LMacNeill]

I love the snark about so many KZbinrs making quitting videos or comments-about-all-the-quitting-videos videos. While combining it with a very useful and entertaining guitar lesson. 😂 I keep coming back to this channel for a reason.

[@purplewoodencustard]

This is a great lesson, well taught, very easy to understand and opened up so many doors it literally took my playing and understanding to totally higher level overnight, Thankyou very much, I can see so much better now that you have switched that light on!! 🍻

[@jonathanlambert7004]

Hi thanks so much for this video. Been searching for a while for something like this. I spend a lot of time doodling on the guitar just playing chords and experimenting. Once I find a nice hook my knowledge of the fretboard or lack of one halts my progress. Your video has opened that door for me. One other thing.I wish I had done years ago, is spent some time learning different chord inversions rather than just playing them in open or Barr positions.

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much for saying so! Glad to have helped and more on the way!

[@peters219]

This video is packed with good stuff. Thank you.

[@jamesdeschenes8307]

That was a really good lesson. I like how you teach. Thank you

[@jerlewis4291]

That little 8-5 scale is in a lot of country and rockabilly song solos. I learned that half scale from a friend of my dad who was a session player,.

[@mikec3749]

If guitar is a puzzle, then your videos are the pieces. Thanks for what you do!

[@davidwurm3308]

Great video. Some things started to click for me. Be listening to you for years. Thanks for the lessons and the humor.

[@cmmbsnyder55]

Just bought a 1Afourzoom this lesson will be fun to apply it to a rhythm drum beat & looper. Thanks for posting ❤😊

[@francoislemay9343]

Thank you. This is exactly the kind of post I needed. 😊

[@richpayne6434]

Your best lesson yet! Thank you.

[@warrenhelm]

Thanks for all your work, I think your critics are missing the point of what teaching is all about. They think they know when they assume they do. It's they that put themselves where the students are that make education fun. I'm an old Old G who knows nothing and thanks to you willing to teach and me having fun learning somthing!😂

[@seandaniel23]

So glad to hear it! I appreciate you!

Finally got elixr strongs for my acoustic. They really do sound amazing.

[@mauriceee1434]

I have to try this. I know some chords but I am making soloing like calculus.

[@akl1054]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I’ve been playing 3 weeks and it shows😂

[@TimHaston]

Great video! Definitely tied a few things together that I already do very seamlessly. I know this is more focusing on a technique, but I think it bears mentioning that the "A minor Pentatonic" Is the "C major Pentatonic". So if it works for people, the can think of just sliding up so their pinky would be able to reach the root/tonic of the major key they are in. You probably would explain that way better than I just did, but just wanted to throw that out there!

[@TimHaston]

Also that C maj pent/Amin pen lick where you do the slide to the minor thirds (the notes E and G), I love that lick to, but I never dropped it to my index to grab the "fourths" double stop when you are playing the D an G... I always have brought Back in parallel thirds : (E and G, D and F, then C and E, then maybe climb it back to the maj 3 of F and A)

[@KarstenJohansson]

3:26 and 5:26 are sofa king perfect riffage. I love the Hendrixiness (Is that a word?) of that 3:26 riff. The 5:26 riff is every real country blues band ever. They're good to have in your arsenal!

[@ForzaLucas14]

Really good stuff Sean. I’m pretty much an intermediate player. I flat pick. Not sure if you ever thought about this, but I am watching your right hand. I wondered if you ever gave a lesson on not using a pick and just using your right hand doing some of that stuff you did ? It definitely adds a lot more to the strumming and picking. Thanks for the great videos and especially the joke you do at the intro. I don’t know where you come up with that stuff.😂 cheers

[@gregtaipari4988]

I subscribed to uour channel because of this lesson. Keep it going brotha thank you 😮

You're hilaroius. And competent. It sucks that I have to mention you are competent cos it takes all the fun out of it. Learning should be fun. Thank you. It is much appreciated. To the naysayers, like Richard Pryor said, have a coke and a smile and STFU =)

[@funguy4utube]

Epiphany of a lesson 🎉

[@JesseCtr]

Great stuff 💯- Switched to elixir strings - wouldn’t of tried them unless I saw your vids. Bought 3 sets for my acoustic at local music store. Love em- will buy more 💯

You're the only KZbinr who can do sponsor messages. Where's that Aztec death whistle.

[@banjo74]

good lesson Sean ......

[@NuGundam_]

0:28 Played that little scale right there and I was like that sounded like the opening to Old Love by Clapton... Yep! It's in A minor! Sorry I know that was random...

[@DG-mv6zw]

I'm the space between chords I generally have an Earl Grey tea and a buttered scone.

[@cheewan8]

Any one who can do what you demonstrated don't need any lesson from you！！

[@iamthestormthatisapproachi5349]

I recently started trying to learn how to play when I got a guitar for Christmas, I have trouble trying to go through different chords fluently, I have to stop strumming and focus on my fingers sitting correctly on the chord.

[@TheCCproductionsCC]

great video

[@PapiGuitar]

thank you!!!

[@seandaniel23]

Happy to help!

[@VictoriaAnnWhitney]

Thank you Sean!! I appreciate you so much and learn a ton from you!

[@michaeldillon8277]

Anyway you can show this for other cord progressions. I just don’t know where or how those scales correlate

[@seandaniel23]

Sure thing! Coming soon.

[@Bantamfire]

I will be at Anna Marie island, feb 10 for a week, will you be playing anywhere in the area… would love to see your show

[@Redlightv98]

That slide looks like there’s butter on the fret board

[@paulsitton9671]

Great content. Can you tell me about how your guitar is amplified? What’s attached to the sound hole?

[@remedymonk]

Great lesson! When you finger pick with R hand, how many fingers do you use aside from thumb. One, two or three? Do you have video/s instruction how to specifically finger pick pentatonics. Thanks!

[@spencermartin5622]

"Well Mama told me" ;)

[@ericolsen67vw]

Just want to let you know I watch these, and I learn pretty fast. You're my guy. You can thank me later. 😂

[@stringman509]

Really helpful sean thanks Colin UK 🇬🇧

[@pkbreeze08]

Why does this part sound like the building part of the Sums on PC from back in the day?! 😂 12:09

[@JasonMcFly]

In my personal humble opinion, all guitarists should regularly practice on an acoustic. For mainly electric players, the hand strength and coordination you develop on an acoustic will make you feel like superman (or supergirl) on an electric

[@John-hk4fr]

I wish I found this stuff 20 years ago

[@seandaniel23]

Better late than never!

[@joebarker5719]

Anyone who says, "Sean Daniel is just a pretty boy playing guitar to impress the chicks," just needs to watch this video and understand, he wants to help YOU impress the chicks, too. This video is the most accessible teaching of this skill - and you get better JUST BY DOING WHAT HE SAYS!!!! Seriously! The biggest mistake you could make is to assume you understand what he is saying and then NOT APPLY IT! 🙄 You can't NOT get better... Thank you, Sean! This was a biggie!!!

[@ClintAutida]

[@danscharman4266]

Maybe,, ?? and possibly again for the hundredth time,,,😂could you do a quick video of how your patreon program works?? The most recent up to date and best way to access you and your teaching curriculum/videos .

[@stephenmunshin8236]

thanks for this, super helpful. question- why is the b minor pent scale 3 frets up from the d minor scale. what is the rule that makes this happen?

[@allosaurusfragilis7782]

I always seem to end up like im doing scales....its blooming hard to break out of that. Think i need a bunch of licks in each position.

[@misteramerica3610]

Theory junk...could expand to 10th fret A, and high e, as the reason for 9 working on D, G, B is the octave trick...not tought much but very useful

[@MikeBro813]

Can anyone link a vid of his explaining add 7s, 9s +? Please 😅

[@greggorsag9787]

Not as easy as it looks. You gotta learn your way around at least a few of the scale positions to consistently pull this off. But yeah, it’s worth it. Hendrix does it a good bit. Note: 3-piece.
