    Love you playing and ideas, Shawn! After seeing your LsL demo I bought one from Lance and I'm digging it. I like these kind of lessons so keep doing more. I've produced and released records by many other great guitarists but you are one of my favorites! Thanks for playing for us.

    Love these "Outside" lessons, and how they reinforce (or remind?) the value of shape-wise thinking!

  • @mathiass-l2281
    @mathiass-l2281 Před 4 lety

    Love your silliness! This was really helpful for me, getting away from thinking scales/modes and really focus on the shapes. And even more importantly, the phrasing! Thanx for sharing your great talent!

  • @therealdealblues
    @therealdealblues Před 5 lety +13

    Just from your amazing playing ability I totally figured you for a Theory guy who knew all the scales, modes, notes, etc. Guess there is hope for the rest of us. But seriously, very cool lesson, can't wait to try it! I'm definitely a shape person as I learned everything by ear growning up and so now I am working backwards trying to see/learn more chords and voicings, etc.. I can learn and play about anything I want but have no idea where it comes from so like a lot of players without any formal music training, I think a lot of us are trying to go backwards and learn these things and I think lessons like this are exceptionally helpful, so great job Shawn and kudos to you for sharing.

  • @Br4dSp34d

    Whenever you post I always tune in but this was particularly interesting. What got me most is the insight into how you conceptualize some of what you are playing. For an ear player like me that’s a very useful thing. Also enjoy the self deprecating style but I don’t think anyone is going to underestimate your knowledge of music theory. Would love for you to do a get-together with Rick Beato. That would be epic.

  • @Wellcee426
    @Wellcee426 Před 4 lety +1

    Shawn, I don't think you give yourself enough credit for your style. Obviously I'm a nerd and love gear demos but I tend to only watch demos of players I find inspiring and you're up there with the best of them. Watching a demo with great playing is a two for one deal you get to get an idea for the product plus get inspiration to practice, to me that's invaluable. I know you've gotten some flack for your explanation of your musical decisions but everyone has a unique approach and I really appreciate when you break it down like this. Keep it up!

    I know most of the major chords, at the top of the neck, I can play probably 4 chords well, just don't know much about leads, we're to put my fingers, how fast to move them, watching you gives me some motivation to practice more, thanks for the good vids, rock on

    Hey Shaun. Super cool riff idea here! Been watching some of your gear demo vids here and there for a while now, but this is first "lesson" one I've watched. I just subscribed! Definitely going to incorporate this in my playing. I love chromatic "outside" sounding stuff to make things interesting for me and the listener.
    Thanks again!

    Go by "Shapes"! Great lesson! Thank you so much for your excellent practical and intuitive video. I am in mid 50s, playing guitar since high school days. But I cannot read charts and know little about scales, so I naturally work on my soloing / backing by looking at fingering shapes. It works good for me, and I think I am doing OK in our band (jazz, funk, r&b big band), but always feel inferior as I am the only guy in the band cannot read charts and having no musical theory. I truly appreciate to watch your video today, it gives me confidence that my approach is not an inferior way. You are a wonderful player with very nice tones and sounds, and also very friendly, making us very happy. Thank you!

    Just fantastic Shawn. You should really do a course on this stuff or do a 20 shapes/licks set of videos type thing. The "shape/chord"-view you have on things makes things so musical

  • @ryanreeves8931
    @ryanreeves8931 Před rokem

    Thanks a ton Shawn!!! I've used the shapes as chordal stabs w/in the track to help navigate it both as a rhythm and lead (knowing how and when to use those notes in context). This a great session!!! Thanks a ton!!!!

  • @shinjial
    @shinjial Před 5 lety +1

    It's weird that it sounds so much more 'outside' than it actually is. It's a pretty cool sound.
    I like videos/lessons like these that just introduce a quick concept, just to get you going. Then it's up to the player to try and apply it in practice.

    You’ve mastered them extensions, I mentioned a while ago, I can hear you buttering those extensions..in a smoky rendition
    of “Sultan’s Of Swing”.
    I learned a lot from you here, with those “thumb beats” that sorta’ lubricate the drag to the 4.
    Awesome stuff dude.
