Easiest way to learn notes on the instrument/staff: alphabets.
A B C D E F G A
A-minor first 😉
Top vid thank you 👍👍👍👍👍
@3:55 You said E to G, pretty sure you meant to say A to G. Will you be discussing the "Position" method? Imagine you grab the guitar neck randomly. Since you have 4 fingers and 6 strings, you've created a natural 'box' of 24 notes. Whatever fret your first finger is on is the number of the position you are on, ex 4th position are frets 4,5,6,7 for your 4 fingers. The next step in the position system is to count how many natural notes are in position 4. Then do the same for all positions, from open to 12. Whichever positions contain the highest number of natural notes would be the position optimal for playing in the key of C. For example, the answer to position 4 is 13, which is not an optimal position for playing in the key of C since other positions contain a higher number, ex. position 5 has 16, position 7 has 17. When I play in the key of C, I use the open position, position 5 and then position 12. I like position 5 instead of position 7 because the pattern you learn in that position is only 1 note different than in the open, you do need to slide back from the 5th to the 4th fret, the only 'out of the box' move I do.
I'm just thinking why I don't remember learning all of this when I first learn to play guitar… After thinking for a while, I just realized that I already learn about this on high school (about 3 years before I learn to play guitar)
I've been playing on and off since I was 14 when I got my first guitar. I'm now 57. I've had periods of years when owing to life in general were I've been unable to play for a period of years. I'm completely self taught and I play everything from Leo Kotke and William Akerman to Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. However what holds me back is a total lack of knowledge of theory. Now I have the time to completely dedicate myself to guitar. I desperately need lessons but have no idea where to go. Do you include any interactive lessons? I need some kind of lessons where I can actually ask questions. I follow alot of your lessons and exercises on YouTube and I am seriously considering your lessons. I've checked out quite a few different channels to see what they are offering on there websites and I'm totally confused as to which way to go. Your top of the list as I like your particular style of teaching from what I've seen on your YouTube videos. I guess what I'd like to know is how you are different from the other guys, do you include some interactive face time with you students, and the biggest question I have is the structure of your woodshed practicing. Do you do all straight exercises and drills for 8 hrs straight or do you do a variety of things in that time like scale and key studies, practicing your repertoire and working on your own stuff? Things like that. I love your channel and am a subscriber I hope you are able to give me a few quick answers. I know I can probably find most of them on your web site as I've been checking that out as well. I'm extremely curious though about the wood shed practice. I hope you can maybe at least be able to quickly answer that one if you get the chance.
Please teach after 7th chords and modes, most guitar channels give up because its too complicated but thats when it starts to get fun!
Great vids tho. Teach scales & modes!
