I had to watch this video twice before I really understood... that I had to watch it a lot more. This is an excellent tip for expanding one's knowledge of the fret board. Thank you as always!
It's amazing how someone with so much ability and technique can explain simple things so easily! Great!
The Tipp "finger between 2 strings for double Stopps" was a totally great extra tipp. Thanks Adam.
Right on! You're welcome, Hendrik.
Adam, I love you. Also, my wife (the guitarist in the family) loves you too. Keep rippin'!
WOW does that circle of fourth tip work! Thanks for sharing!
This series just wonderful!
Hey Mr Levy ,I played in a band in the 80s! with Max Milligan from Bedford UK I believe you met !!!
Wow -- small world!
Great video as always! Your channel is so usefull. Thank you for a great job.
I really needed this, thank you so much. Looking forward to starting at LACM in the winter.
Great lesson!!
A J45 for Tip 45 ;)... Thanks Adam, great tips as usual!
I try to visualize how the notes look on the musical staff mainly because then it allows me to know which octave of the note that I'm dealing with. But I number the notes according to a system from the piano, since those note names already have numbers. So I would call the low E on the guitar E3, [the third E on the piano] since it will make it more obvious to me when I deal with the next E4s, since there are a few of them, and know that they are all E4s. For the longest time I was not sure which octave was which until I started thinking like this. I'd also label things according to dots. So for the highest dot on my 22 fret guitar, I'd call that a 4 prime marker 1 fret lower, and the highest note , or the 4th marker past the double dot marker, and the 1 fret higher I'd call 4.1 to mark that fret, it being D7 and a crazy 6 ledger lines up on treble clef. It's awkward, but the work has already been done, so I just go with it. I don't even read music for the guitar, just using those dots as a reference to separate octaves. Should I ever want to read guitar music, it's comforting to know it only goes up 6 ledger lines to the highest note, and down 3.5 ledger lines to the lowest note on the instrument.
This video is awesome also. Subscribed.
Ron-yes, it's a Ted Greene thing.
Is the 1 finger double stop a Ted Green thing?
I just want to say I love your video on Come Away With Me solo. Comment is disabled there so sorry to put here.
Thanks!
Combining this with your "Learn the six main shell chords" exercise. In both cases you're recommending going in the Circle of Fourths direction instead of Circle of Fifths. Is there a reason for that beyond preference? Thank you for your great content!
Good question, Stefan. Circle of 4ths is the way I learned the mapping exercise from teacher Peter Butterfield, when I attended the Dick Grove School of Music in the mid 1980s. Jazz tunes and Great American Songbook tunes were a big part of the curriculum, and those sorts of tunes - "All the Things You Are," "Autumn Leaves," etc. - do tend to move in 4ths. It made sense to study/practice in 4ths to better understand those sorts of tunes. But there's no reason not to study/practice in Circle of 5ths (or 3rds, or 7ths, or whatever).
Help! I understand that it is salutary to learn the notes on the fretboard but I just need to ask this burning question: WHY learn the notes on the fretboard in the sequence of FOURTHS? Why not some other interval or just learn the notes at random? Is learning them in fourths useful for something in mental or physical approach to playing music?
Good question! Working in fourths can be helpful if you play lots of jazz, because many jazz standards feature chord progressions with fourth-wise root motion. (Any ii-V-I progression, for example, or the III7-VI7-II7-V7 bridge of "I Got Rhythm.") Learning the note locations via fourths helps prepare you for playing those sorts of tunes. If you're not into jazz-and/or if you're bored by always working in fourths-any other routine will do, so long as you hit all 12 keys.
Do you need a fret board map in front of you to find the note?
dry509 You can, if it helps you. The big idea here, however, would be to have a clear fretboard map in your mind.
A clock or ... a pizza?
The thumbnail looks like you're wearing a sideways flatbill hat, but not only are you not, but you seem like you have probably never worn that in your life.
Anyway-great playing, love your work with norah jones.
That's funny! No - I never have worn a sideways flatbill.
It may have been just the tip but I still got pregnant
