A little about me:
Sean Daniel is a man. A man of simple needs and desires. And the one desire, no, the one NEED, that stands above all is to spread the challenges, joy and intellectual stimulus of music to people of Earth and beyond.
Born on the mean streets of upper middle class suburban Chicago, Sean learned the ways of the world through the dizzying heights of success to the lonesome depths of failure and emerged with the promise of a better tomorrow reflecting in his eyes and fiery passion in his belly.
He plays and teaches guitar on his CZcams channel where he regularly releases original music and projects to the adulation of legions of fans, who often compare him to Chris Pratt and one time Ryan Reynolds. He’s currently in the market for a nice leather jacket.

Rhythm guitar is the most important aspect of guitar. If there is no foundation, there is nothing to expand in. I remember hearing Dave Grohl making the analogies between guitar and drums. Really awesome here!
New player at age 51. Guitar is hard. But I promise you it’s a lot easier with your instruction! Enjoying the vids, especially the rhythm and strumming lately as mine needs a ton of work! Would strongly consider a class.
Thanks so much Scott!
Suggestion for beginner's course: I wish my guitar teachers (25 years ago (pre youtube)) had made the connection between scales, chords, and keys much earlier. As in, the Key dictates the scale and then "lead" or melody is the scale over the chords in that key. That, along with the magic of moveable chords. I feel like the teaching I had wasn't as wholistic as it could have been. You, Stich, Paul Davids., Nate Savage, and Samurai have been great co-teachers, I've learned more in 2 years than I ever did back then.
Justin owns the beginner audience. He's great and free. There was a legit serious Reddit thread last week about how he should get knighted for his philanthropic contributions to culture and everyone agreed. Forget about making any money on a beginner course.
I'd subscribe to a cover song tutorial course if the catalog had enough songs I'm interested in and you sometimes added subscriber requested songs. I get frustrated with tabs and a lot of CZcams song tutorials because they're the full band version instead of arranged for solo players or duos. Also, I want to learn to play by ear better and the chord-based way you play. I haven't found anyone else teaching it.
I've heard you say that you taught yourself music theory when you started giving lessons. Can you recommend any books or other resources you found helpful? Is there one book you'd give to students if they'd read it?
I've recently gone through every guitar teacher on CZcams and you are by far the most entertaining and informative one out there. I'm gonna come out of quarantine with some skills thanks to your videos :D
And I would 100% be interested in a master class!
hey Sean, just a note to say I finished yours and Ian's soloing with confidence class.....Excellent program and tutorial. Thanks my man...rock on!!!
Your lessons are fun. Thank you!
My wife is brand new to the guitar and you and Ian Stich have really helped me grow (20 years, no music theory before you guys) Since then I've really been able to branch out and discover a LOT more as a musician. I'd be really excited to see what a class would do for her.
.

Also, I'm digging the lights in the background. It's subtle but pleasant
You do bring a unique thing! Thank you 🎸
Great lesson. We need a practical one on how to avoid tripping over your guitar lead cable while on stage :)
Haha, yup!
@@seandaniel23 enjoyed this. Thanks.
If you could start something for beginner / intermediate ( someone without music theory knowledge) who plays some songs by ear and you tube help in the style of melodies constructed in mostly power cords . Rage, Tool, Metallica, Black Sabbath etc, I would be really interested.
Wireless freedom.
Do people still use leads? Go wireless bro its the way forward.
As an absolute beginner at 62, I find your lessons the easiest to follow. Especially, your explanations and examples of triplets (here and in other videos) are truly great. I am beginning to make real progress, Sean!! Thanks so much.
So freakin good!! This is what I have been wanting for sooooo long!! WOW - so goooood!! Thanks Sean!
Great idea on drumming and rhythm guitar. I loved the Hall and Oates song analysis-more like that in the song lessons. I appreciate the idea of songs not being a note for note exercise.
Woot! Woot! More drum, rhythm and drum/guitar content!
Masterclass sounds great!
01:28 He said “getting stick control under my belt.” Uh huh huh.
your content is awesome at the minute I am loving it
Interested. Do it 🙏 Love watching your videos even though I've been playing guitar for about 2 months and dont understand most of the concepts
RH drummer for most of my life. LH guitar player for about 5 years. I have noticed a huge improvement in my left hand when drumming. Recently switched to traditional grip because the motion is similar to guitar strumming. I can definitely see how learning both enhances each side. Strumming and picking triplets on the guitar is super easy for me and always has been because of the drums. Guitar is definitely harder to learn though. Thanks for these videos, you always give me something to think about.
Rhythm is definitely a fundamental part of learning guitar which is often overlooked. Also I think a subscription kind of thing on the website would be a great idea.
So helpful! Thank you!
I've been away... spending the past week on your awesome Little Wing tutorial from 2017. Time well spent. Thanks.
So glad you've been rocking it Andrew!
Teaching your set list is definitely something I would be interested in.
100% in on a subscription thing. 110% in if it ‘s cheesy.
Thanks Marc!! It'll be the cheesiest.
This was so cool. I love your rhythm guitar lessons. The drum thing makes goes so far in explaining why you are so good at teaching rhythm guitar. When I saw the title of this video, my first thought is this should be the name of his Patreon channel or his next masterclass. Great video. Can you recommend any classic songs (old classic) that feature triplet and or paradiddle strumming?
Great lesson mate thanks
Sean , the masterclass sounds great , I already have gone through your udemy fret board mastery class.
I’ve been drumming for 40+ years (I know you think I’m going to launch into some dull folksy drumming Gandalf type wisdom! 😂- don’t worry I’m not) - BUT as noob guitarist I can say you are spot on, having that understanding of rhythm has taken my ‘creative’ playing, even with a few chords and scales way forward. Yes I’d be interested in having Noob lessons btw, I’ve already learnt so much from your ‘cheesy’ videos (wtf is he on about?!) ... great channel Mr D 😊
I agree 100% on the drums. I started playing again(mainly for exercise), but the better I got, the more it changed how I wrote my songs. I still use EZdrummer for most of my songs, but I put a lot more thought into how I lay them out. Maybe one day I'll get good enough to make my own band, hahaha... Hope all is well, take it easy.
This is perfect timing for me. I’ve been thinking about doing some simple hand percussion lessons to try and find my right hand rhythm. Pearadiddle... this could be a great mini series of lessons. Thanks so much from your northern Atlantic neighbour! Xo Halifax Canada. 🇨🇦
Cool! I'm from Newfoundland and Labrador.
Michael D. It’s in the blood b’y!
WHOA Sean ! I Love This Lesson ! Ol West
When I'm not shooting live multi angle multi mic CZcams videos in outdoor locations I'm tripling up triplet practice! Cheers Sean!!
I’m (just about) not a beginner any more but agree with some other comments that the beginner market is saturated. I learned a lot from justinguitar and it’s well curated. The principles/rhythm/performance tips etc of your cover songs list would be of interest as you have a great teaching style. Always trying to find good songs to learn and then find materials - would be a worthwhile series.
You kind of did a lesson on this before. You used the beatles as an example before. The video was about triplets and how it was played accent starting on the up, and on the 2nd half of the pattern was accented on the up. You taught me about triplets and paradiddle in conjunction with guitar.
Drummers do make amazing guitarists. Tommy Emmanuelle started on drums i believe. If i remember correctly.
Either way thank you for the reminder. When your trying to learn everything you forget things. This video was super useful for me
Hi Sean, I like the sound of a 'set list' master class. FYI, I prefer to buy your classes outright. :) Also, thank you for doing a vid on rhythm guitar. The insights you provided today were very helpful. I would love to see more. Could you please do a master class on rhythm guitar? EDIT: Udemy seems pretty good on my end. Kind regards, Michael.
Cool lesson, thanks...I’m going to practise the triplets properly today, the only way I could get the accent so far was dud dud which is pretty clunky at speed. I’d be up for the subscription idea....probably the only way to go for songs given the copyright issues. Did I hear you say consecutional?🙂
Thankyou.nice 1
Happy to help!
I would be interested in your beginner to intermediate courses as long as the is a decent amount of useful theory sprinkled throughout!
I would be interested in a tutorial membership thing if it was designed with learning through songs in mind with a variety of songs for different techniques so that if I wanted to learn certain techniques it would give me some options of different songs that use those techniques. Say I wanted to learn a Lydian Scale, maybe I could search "lydian" and it would bring up songs that use the lydian mode. Maybe an accompanying video for a specific song you think is especially good for understanding a specific technique. I don't know if that would be difficult to do.
I take it youre a huge Mac fan. For this I salute you
Been waiting for this sage to tip me on how to improve on my rhythm guitar for the ladies.
Hey Sean, I bought your fretboard mastery course on udemy and it is the best guitar learning material I've come across. The pace, the comedy, the constant reassurance of mastery at the end of the course and your friend Justin. I mean having someone else just to cover the "gaps" or ask questions from different perspectives is so powerful because it cover off so much more and helped connecting the dots so well. I'm only half way through the course but I have no doubt I'll be able to finish it with a steady pace, can't say the same with all the other courses that I signed up for. My 2 cents for your next masterclass: I personally prefer learning techniques or theories through songs. It would be good if you could build some lessons around songs that use the said concepts/theories/techniques (I think kinda like the little wing videos). Something like "I don't care if you like these songs or not, but trust me, once you learn them and understand them using my way, you will have a clear understanding of blah blah". With that being said I'll sign up for whatever you put out next at this point :)
Thanks so much for the support Nick!! Definitely a great idea and that's kind of what I'm doing with the lessons over on the Patreon page. They're organized in either beginner-intermediate OR standalone song lessons that'll teach a little something different.
How to enroll.Thank you
I would love a beginner master class
Hey Sean, wanted to ask for your next Q&A. Is it “correct” to use note names such as Cb, B#, Fb and E#? From what I’ve watched/read, these are not common and honestly, I’ve only ever seen Cb being mentioned in reading materials or by youtubers. I understand enough music theory to know why we’d call a note Bb instead of A# even though they’re the exact same note, but I admit I can’t get why not just call it B instead of Cb. Thanks!
Sean try double paradidle believe it or not it actually helped my guitar picking
I've just started getting into rhythm guitar, loving funk and jazz, and am living on the starving artist budget, so having a $12/month subscription would be a great way to keep learning. Thanks for the good vids.
I've seen your video a while back on using the top strings as a snare and bottom strings as a bass drum. Are there any iconic drum grooves that you incorporate into your playing? An iconic rhythm that comes to my mind is Jon Bonham performing "When the Levee Breaks".
Makes a lot of sense. After all, the guitar is a percussive instrument. Thanks Sean.
Kevin O'Rourke
The dumb down drums question was relatable.
There are lots of really good guitar instructors online, I like what you'r doing offering applicable skills for performing. I am trying to think of ways to work more cover tunes into my set to get attention as a segue into my own songs any thoughts? thanks
Love the pod. Listen to John Lennon rythim guitar on All M Loving. The songs has lots of chords and his triplets drive the whole song.
Cheesy is entertaining🤣
Sean, there are very few teachers that creatively teach songs from the beginning to the end of a song for beginners. There are a lot of teachers with very simplistic approaches to songs the make all of the songs they teach sound the same. I think your thought process for discovering songs and working through them would be great for beginners and really entertaining. I would pay for that.
There are already tons of beginning guitar teachers that have the wrote approach to teaching guitar. BORING!!
I got this idea just now from watching your video AND in conjunction with a segment I saw of you teaching that MOVABLE C CHORD to beginning guitarist's.
Just a thought man! Keep up the good work! You have helped me.
Or, was that a MOVABLE G SHAPE!?
Anyway...an example might be James Taylor's song book. James Taylor made simple?
Just spit balling here. Don't mean to get any on ya🤪
NOT ...C, D, G, that's all you need right there man!?!?
There has to be something in between the chords and chord progressions James Taylor applies and bastardized James Taylor?
Got to be?
Just trying to be helpful. I'm also being selfish about the James Taylor thing. Then there's that...👍😎
Do it, I'm in
Would prefer the 30 bucks a month (or even a little more), but for me I would be interested in something that gets you from maybe past complete beginner to what you'd term as definitely intermediate. I'm at the point where I can sound OK playing, I know the open chords (not completely smooth transitioning), but I'm not really sure the best way to get better and get to intermediate. I hope that makes sense.
Might even be part of the same course, but I'd love if there were a way to skip the very basics of "this is an E chord" type stuff.
I think at my level the hardest part is developing a good practice routine. I either feel like I'm doing too much or not being productive enough.
I’m a new subscriber. On Tom Bukovac’s CZcams channel, he can often be found indulging 8n an ice cold Rolling Rock. Do you have a beer preference? Having once lived in Chicago, could it be Strohs or Hamms?
I'd love another gtar.
Hi Sean, I liked this video as I’m trying to learn rhythm guitar. I’m still a relative beginner so I might be interested in a Patreon or web course type of thing. I’m already subscribed to a lot of stuff though so it would have to not too expensive. BTW, you can do categories of videos in Patreon - Scott Paul Johnson does it. He has several categories like music theory, techniques, songwriting and recording.
It would also be interesting to learn how you play songs but put your own spin on them, not just trying to sound like the recording as a lot of teachers do. So if you would teach that I’d be down to learn.
That's 100% what I'm going for! I'll have to check out Scott Paul Johnson's page
Sir musical u is good website to learn?looking forward to hear from you.Thank you
Sean I like the idea of a subscription. It would be great to have something like - if your goal is this then here are the steps you need to do to get there
I'd personally pay for a subscription to work through the material. I paid for your Udemy stuff and let me tell you.... I'm ripping you off. You should charge more. I love your mixing of the musical with theory so it helps me understand how to weave what feels like actual playing into more basic things like running scale or doing chord changes over and over. Also, I really hope you continue teaching covers (which I'd also love to have in the subscription). Believe it or not, the way you approach covers in the "not the record, but here's what I do" way helps me understand the 'core' of a song and where deviations or embellishments are Ok. If you're expecting people will pay and cancel as they work through the material, I hope you have some method of letting people know when there's more stuff up there so they can re-subscribe. Personally I'd prefer chunks of stuff rather than drabs so I could jump on the new stuff as it's released.
For reference, I'm not sure where I sit on the beginner-intermediate spectrum. I started playing 13 months ago and have played a minimum of 30 minutes a day every day since I started. I'm now starting to connect things musically (largely due to your videos) but I wouldn't call myself anywhere near an intermediate. I'd like to think I'm beyond beginner, but my rhythm skills (or lack there of) suggest otherwise :) So today's video was incredibly helpful!
Me too looking from beginners to intermediate course.But i do know the rhythm & some chords but i'm not used to it . because i don't play often.but i want to learn mainly lead but combination is too good lead plus rhythm i watched few video of your's.I do play drum.i think it doesn't take hard for me to learn cause something i know.
Regards
Nitin
Hey! You updated your Bose!
Yup!
Hi Sean - I'm interested in the beginner to intermediate master class! I've paid for another course you made and it's great. You're a great teacher. P.S. Subscription would be cool. However, I would love something to download too so I can review when I'm at the lake (no internet).
Although I think of myself as a intermediate player, I'd be intrested in this kind of paid video course done by you.
Awesome thank you! Coming soon!
If you could add it to Udemy instead of masterclass i would be down for that . Great video as always!
I've never even heard of udemy which is probably why it's not on there...
06:35 He played No Such Thing by John Mayer and he didn't even know it
Def interested in novice> intermediate lessons/course
I would do that $15- 20 a month for a membership type site would be great
I will sign up and pay $30 for the beginning acoustic guitar lesson.
I might be interested in another online MasterClass but not a subscription, though.
One more thing, Sean your body language and general vibe is easy to read if you know anything about human behavior and personality types. That said even I wasnt sure what was going on there . now i know , you lost your say that was your way of expressing this isnt how id do it. That little insights help me learn how to read people though hahaha. So valuable info, even if it wasnt music based
I always get at least one good laugh from your videos, I learn music but it's enjoyable in bite size segments so it's not overwhelming. Have you ever thought about musical comedy, you could be the next Smother brother, I know the reference is old but you know how to use google.
Sean I’d advise against going for a beginner paid course. There’s already so many other CZcams guitar teachers who target beginners and offer allotta free lessons (Marty Schwartz, Justin Guitar, Andy Guitar, etc) I think what makes your channel and classes great is that it has more advanced stuff for people who’ve progressed past what those guys offer. Teaching the songs you know is a good idea tho!
5:57 - SEAN PARADIDDLES A MINOR.
I think subscription website would be iintresting
You should talk to Samurai Guitarist and find out what he did to create his classes. Maybe, you could do something similar www.samuraiguitartheory.com/. I think a beginner class would be good, especially if you can do a good job visually so people can see what you're doing. Great info on rhythm by the way.
Parradiddle????
To many hats to wear at once, I've never heard this saying before anyway great vid
Lol awesome
Has anyone said to you that you look and sound like Steve Martin
It's a pretty regular occurrence around here.
Hes a WIIIIIIILLLLLLLDDD AND CRAAAAAZY GUYYY
Doesn’t look like him but maybe sounds like him
You have a red nose? Booze or Sunshine? Both!? 🤣👍😎
The cheese stands alone.
In response to your course question... I just signed up for this guys programming course... his business model is just what you are thinking about doing. Check it out at codemy.com. You are both selling lessons.
Maybe check out Udemy for your guitar course. 🤷♂️
3:20 ...thats what she said
I’d sign up for $12 a month...that’s a great price, by the way.
:)
I love that you can laugh at the salty comments.
Do the subscription 👍
1-2-3-4, Chris-to-pher-3-4, 1-2-3-4, Sean-Dan-iel-3-4, 1-2-3-4, etc. Triplets on the first two beats of bars two and four. Just slip in the three-syllable name of one your favorite music teachers or salty blues comment sufferers in there.
I never buy those things any more. I tried a couple and they got pretty old. I like watching your videos but if you can make enough money off you tube I think trying to create a whole huge system deal like all those other ones would kill what you do here which I find informative and entertaining. There are so many of them out there anyway I get sick of the commercials. If you decide to do it, I think steve stein has a good one Marty was great when he started, like your buddy teaching you guitar but I think his whole deal changed as he got real big. He seems, like yourself, would be a cool person to hang around but if you tried to market that I think you would tire of having to be On all the time and always upping the ante. I like you as some dude in his house who trades 15 min vids for ad revenue. but you know, I don't know you. Do what you think is right. I bet it'll work out whatever.
observer7418 I think Marty is still good, I use his videos a lot
@@TokyoBlue587 he definitely knows what he's talking about and he is a good teacher but I liked him better when he was rising. He seemed more like a guy you might meet at the bar and go play guitars with. Now I keep thinking he's more of a business man. Like he has to worry too much about the program. I'm sure he's a cool person. Just seems like the shiney wore off. js
Do drummers need music theory???????

You can slow videos down quite easily.
