  • Really use your ear here folks. Using the higher notes of chords to spark and connect melodies. This is how you practice tying all this stuff together to actually make music. Thanks for all the support!

    Another person commenting to say I heard that chord progression you made up saying "you must have heard this in some song before", and I thought, "yeah, that's Island In The Sun by Weezer!" And then you gave it the voice leading on top, and you literally played Island In The Sun! That made me smile hahaha, I've watched a ton of your videos and I've gotten a ton out of them, but I had to comment on this one

    "It's about the Big Chords and breaking them down." and "What's making that sound is the chords Changing".
    That's the gold from this video. Music is not knowing crazy chords. Music is what you hear when you move from simple chord to simple chord with a rhythm. The way play is taking Guthrie's triad lessons and moving them around the neck. When I want to hear the complexity of these crazy chords, I put my pinky down somewhere. I couldn't tell you if I've played a 9th or a Flat 13th to save my life unless I recorded it and analyzed it later. And I don't really care to use my mind's bandwidth on that kind of stuff. If it sounds good, do that again. Anyway I hope others are having as much fun as I am, thanks to Guthrie and his cut through the bullshit approach.🤠

    There’s very few guys out there who are both top musicians and natural teachers - Jack Rusch is definitely one of them. Victor Wooten is another - he doesn’t even play guitar and I’ve learned more about my playing from him in a few videos than I have from hours of some other guys. Both them just “get” music at another level and have the natural ability to communicate it so clearly.

    Very nice and just what I need. Question tho. If you just use the Em scale to move to the next chord (Am in this case) and you don’t think about the G major scale, how do you know which Em scale to use? I mean if your next chord is Cmajor and the progression is in CM the second note in the Em scale will be an E# and not a D as when the progression is based on Gmajor. I guess im overthinking it and it is probably holding me back more than making me better. But do you not think about these things at all when you are improvising?
