Guitar George... He knows alll the chords
One day I want to meet this guitar George guy.
I heard he’s kind of a jerk in real life, but he does know all the chords
@@kevinnickens I've also heard that an old guitar is all he can afford, but when he gets under the light, he plays his thing.
Yeah but only if he can play sultans of swing
Just started following your channel. A breath of fresh air from all the other, "I'm going to vaguely explain a guitar-themed concept/exercise, now PLEASE buy my course!"
PLEASE tell me you're someday going to follow up with a Lead guitar ordered path. No pressure.
Stay tuned
@@kevinnickens AHHHHH GUITAR PUN NICE ONE! HAHA
These videos are so fucking good dude. Real, through usefulness. I keep screenshots and notes. I’ve been playing for years and know what I’m doing - they’re still useful to me to help fill skill gaps. And the roadmap vids transfer to bass, which I’m learning now. You are gold standard.
hey no bad words
I began my guitar journey in 2020, after high school. Was on and off, mostly off, until this year when I was asked to perform “Have You Ever Seen The Rain” for the summer camp that I work for , when I unfortunately said that I could “play” the guitar. Nearly 2 months later and I have fallen back in love with the guitar. I purchased a cheap acoustic-electric Ibanez, and stumbling upon your videos have been a godsend. Maybe I was a bit naive and immature in my previous endeavors with this instrument, but you have shown me that I can grow naturally and efficiently. I can confidently say that you have made me a better player. I have watched every single one of your videos and I can’t wait for more. I will also be purchasing the PRS you recommended in your other videos to get that electric sound. P.S. We need to see your dad’s progress, it’s been a minute and I hope you and him are in good health so that you both can enjoy jamming together for many years to come. Much love from Miami ❤
That's literally the video I have been searching for all this time. I am not exaggerating, I mean it. Thanks for everything!
No way.. I just started truly studying the guitar after starting a little band as a rhythm guitarists are I just noticed this was posted 3 weeks ago.. the timing is amazing. Cant wait for the deep dive video
this is golden, first thing i watched when i woke up and i got it instantly. rewatching this and copying what you're doing helps me understand a bit better
This was a great guitar tutorial for someone who is looking to fill that most underrated and unsung part of a band: the rhythm guitar(ist). Thanks for uploading; liked it and subscribed.
This is what I have been missing for so long thank you thank you thank you
Only thing id say this video is missing is to start learning some basic chord progressions. This lets you actaully start using all this information and you can use your ear to start understanding the qualities of certain chord progressions and why they work, for example learning that the 5 chord resolves very satisfyingly back to the 1 chord.
Thanks so much for the direction!
No problem!
I cannot thank you enough for this videos. I've been practicing guitar on my own for a time now and I'm very interested in understanding music to be able to create my own songs. You really filled the gaps with this excellent explanation that you made. I took notes of everything, now it is the time for practice and more practice.
dude your channel is a lifesaver i have never felt more enlightened. keep doing your thing
Thanks! For showing us the big picture
No problem! Thanks for watching!
Short, precise and straight to the point..spot on!..5:32 funny side eye though 😅
@@anietie_guitarboy haha always gotta check the camera
Magic, magic, magic, and then this guy posts a video, and everything just CLICKS! Now I can finally play any random stuff on guitar and it won't sound random! Subscribed
Man you are explaining things amazingly
i never really learnt guitar basics, I've been playing guitar by ear for about 12 years now,i used to figure out chords woth the little finger position knowledge i have with zero theory knowledge, this is really helpful, thank you! waiting for the CAGED video!
Thanks a lot Kevin for this video. Can you make a video on arpeggios and how to learn in order?
Love seeing Arrogance Suddenly on your album wall. Such an awesome group. They were so close to making it nationally. Their Lively album may be their best IMHO. Don Dixon had an Intoxicating voice.
@@michaelbahen1787 I’ve been waiting on someone to comment on the Arrogance album!
The 7 in the major key harmony being "patched" with an inversion ala Beast of Burden really helped me to cement alot of stuff. Also learning how that same scale shape plays out with A roots and going down the neck versus just up.
Hey, I watched your video about the complete guitar roadmap and I think I'm at level 2 or 3, I saw some of your song recommendations for these levels and I wanted to ask you if you think the song R U Mine? By Arctic monkeys would fit that level.
It's one of my favorite songs and I really want to learn to play it. From what I saw the chords are pretty simple if you use a capo (on 2) and it has some really cool riffs (I actually already learned the intro riff).
Thank you for making videos, I've only just started my guitar journey but you helped me a lot 😊
Kevin, that was an excellent and concise explanation of these concepts that personally took me a while to figure out. This provides a great teaching structure that would focus students and save them months, if not years of time to become proficient. Well done.
i swear that u r the best guitarist ive learning from
my gratitude from IRAQ 🤘
Hell yeah dude!! 🤟
Bar chords! They are amazing.
I was just thinking... When is Kevin going to put out a new video and low and behold. Keep it up .. these videos really add major value to beginners like my self
Incredible content on your videos and all is very well explained. Thank you!
WOW I LITERALLY JUST ENTERED YOUR CHANNEL TO UPDATE MY GUITAR LEARNING ROADMAP AND YOU UPLOADED THIS
Talk about timing lmfao
I uploaded because I’m reading your mind
@@kevinnickens Keep at it, it's keeping me motivated to learn
Level 3 - I was personally challenged with having to learn the major & minor scales to figure triads. The CAGED approach worked better for me in only having to learn the root positions. But I do need to learn those scales eventually.
Great content! You have a gift for breaking down theory into chunks that are easily understandable.
When you are talking about triads, the triad constructed from the seventh degree of the major scale is a fully diminished triad, it is not half diminished as you state. In your example key of G Major this would be F# A C which is F diminished or Fdim or F (degree symbol) or R b3 b5. The half diminished you mention is from the seventh chord formed from the seventh degree of the major scale aka half diminished seventh (minor 7 b 5) which would be F#m7b5 = F# A C E or R b3 b5 b7. The fully diminished would be Fdim7 = F A C Eb or r b3 b5 bb7 (double flat 7th). This is a common error and I think it stems from 2 issues. First, the seventh degree and seventh chords are often confused. Second, the chord built from the seventh degree is often used as a seventh chord instead of its triad form and is not only a "jazz chord". Its a chromatic passing chord in many pop song (Friends in Low Places by Garth Brooks intro).
Nice video as a very basic intro!
Many thanks sir, this exactly what i looking for. Thankyou so much
Love the video. I just wish you didn't have distortion on the guitar. I clean sound would help us hear the notes better.
Loving this!! 🔥 thank you! 🙏🏻
Thank you so much, this is profound
Very well explained!
excellent video and explanations! Thx a lot :)
Superb ! Thanks .. really clear explanation.
Kevin, Thank you !! so much for everything if i could ask you any question i wanna ask do u have any advice for getting finger movement synchronized. Time is everything ik this i play 4+ hours a day and you started posting alot of these videos as
i picked up the guitar again last year in may and now im doing gigs with my drummer (oldest friend) we are 23 and 24 and we make eachother better and have good chemistry our playing gets better the more we play live and rehearse together. But by no means do i consider myself a “good guitar player” i can improvise well with my drummer and we put out alot of noise for a three piece . I just cant ever play enough where i want to be now is just a matter of more time years till my speed is where i would like it to be😂. Kevin REALLY, thank you,
You’ve helped me out alot and so many others.
Nice job on lesson video!
This is why I pay for my internet. Subscribed.
I love how all your videos throw shade to the guitar gatekeepers on the internet 😂
fret 2 string 234 A major open chord? right idk i know more than 8 open chords
So close to 80k subs!!
Hi how are you rock on dude l am learning to play guitar basic power chords.
The less you play you more sound good in a band contexte !
Really appreciate the Sultans reference 😂
May I get some one on one lessons?
Yeah, email me kevinnickens74@gmail.com
Didn't spend a lot of time on playing great rhythm like title suggests .. It was more basic harmony and intro to chords .. Good stuff but was looking for rhythm goodies .. Also is it really incorrect to groove on the back of the beat ..? Or like how Willie Nelson phrases on the front of the beat ..?
It's cool you are compelled to educate .. A serious rhythm video would be cool for a bunch of folks .. What are dance beats, 16th note feel, how to count odd meter grooving etc ..
Cheers
Nice "guitar george" drop. IYKUK
Papa Kev posted again!
Nice
both of those scales use all 6 strings in a different pattern right
Yeah, but those patterns aren’t necessary for understanding triads. I wanted to make these shapes as simple as possible, but you can play them with two octaves instead of one
I love u man
What type of guitar model do you have
Hey
Playing in time behind or ahead isn't technically incorrect its just a different application of timing
Sure when you’re playing in different types of groups, being slightly ahead or behind of the beat can be important. Thats not what hes talking about. You have to be able to play perfectly in time too. First even.
@@anakinskywalker70 i totally agree I just like being difficult about things
@@obelysk4209😂
@@obelysk4209but you both be right about this
Playing less is also sometimes very good in rhythm guitar.
My teacher forced me to play funk to learn rhythm 💀💀💀
2:30 better call saul ahhh chord
Can someone help me identify the album on the wall with the circles and the pink triangle? I can't remember it for the life of me
@@akneeg6782 Jazz by Queen
@@kevinnickens obviously 🙄 thank you.
Props to you for replying on your month old vid. 👏
Can someone explain what are scales
Scales are lists of notes that are all in the same key, which means they will all sound pretty good together. If someone plays a "wrong" note, they've played a note that is outside of the scale they were supposed to be playing. This video should help czcams.com/video/qdVnLAP2RK4/video.html
@@kevinnickensare blues scales worth practicing for future use in helping your soloing ? And for improvisation
@@kevinnickensit would be hilarious if that was a link to your OF account 😂
@@grave8590He does OF?
@@kevinnickens thankyou
What distortion pedal is that? Sounds like distortion+.
It’s just a line 6 HX stomp running a model of a fender deluxe reverb with the gain turned up a bit
i thought it was the diminished chord not half diminished?
They both work. Diminished is the three note triad version and half diminished is the 4 note chord version
the pocket is playing perfectly on the beat not behind it
You can play on the beat, behind the beat or ahead of the beat, the pocket is when you can hear what the music requires and can do It with evenness of sound and rhythm.

“…some well-lit rando on the internet is showing..” 😂
Hey rando
Euh... sorry but there are more than four measures in a bar!
Actually it depends of the time signature if it's 4/4 there are 4 of them. I think you're actually talking about 8/4 time signature but you should inform you about time signature which is a very interesting subject and a need in music ! Good luck !
Doesn't measure and bar mean the same thing? English is not my first language so thx in advance for claryifing my confusion lol
