  • Math and guitar, a match made in heaven! Going over some super easy tips to help memorize the fretboard using simple math. The only thing easier is being on of the first 100 people to get extra money off the guitar master class I made on being able to jam with confidence!

    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.

    Hey sean, i have struggled & struggled learning to just move up and down the fret board. No one and i mean nobody with all the learning cds i have and i have over 100 plus to learn the fret board. You are the first person to break it down like this. In just this 10 min lesson i can make music. I will actually pick up my guitar again to learn this easy phrasing if i can call it that. Story short! Thank you! By the way your a funny guy too! thanks, franco

This is another cool way of getting around and combining them has really helped me make more sense of the entire fretboard and where I'm at. Thanks man

Don't know if it's because my middle name is 'Sean' but I find your tutorials rather eye-OPENing & refreshing. By the way, I'm not superstitious. You DEFINITELY have the Gift of teaching others how to play the Guitar. Yup, you make this thing sound & look really easy. I just need to put in the practice hours. Continue to stir up the God-given gift within you, bro.

    That guitar is gorgeous. What's the make? There's a glare on the headstock so I can't read it.
    I wish I'd had your channel as a resource 10+ years ago back when I was still learning stuff like this. Probably would've really helped. Wish I'd had videos like this as a resource back when I was still struggling to learn the fretboard.
    What ultimately forced me to learn the notes all over the fretboard was playing bass in a jazz combo because staying at the end of the neck gets boring after awhile when you're comping a bassline. But where playing bass really helped was forcing me to visualize the relationship between intervals on the neck. For any guitarists out there struggling to learn the notes on the neck: learn the circle of 5ths/4ths, it's invaluable.

I think most of them are kinda reissues of their really old archtops (like this one) and some of the more common flat tops. From the looks of the masterbilt series they look really nice for the price. I love Epiphone

    Hey Sean, quick question! I'm now trying to understand music theory a bit more since I feel just knowing the shapes isn't enough anymore, and there's this one thing I can't seem to find an answer. In the 1+4=5 2x3=6, why does the scale in every key comes out in minors and majors, as you have covered? Why aren't the chords all major or all minor?
    Cheers and keep up with the good work!

    • @Chris-cf2kp
      @Chris-cf2kp Před 5 lety +1

      That's because the scale is diatonic. In a diatonic scale, it can be either major or minor. In a major diatonic scale for example, each note in the scale is called a degree and there are seven degrees within the scale before you reach the same note again. Each degree of the scale has an associated chord to it, which uses the other notes of the scale strictly. Because each degree has chords which only use other notes from it's own scale, it means that each degree has a chord quality which is set in stone to that specific scale per degree. The degrees are usually represented by upper and lower case roman numerals to show major or minor. It looks like this [ I ii iii IV V vi viio ] The last one there usually has a temperature degree symbol which is written in plain text as an 'o' and it's a diminished chord. That scale is only taking into account triads while sevenths have a separate set of symbols that build onto that set of symbols. Wikipedia diatonic scales for more insight.
