This is great teaching thanks im on my way,

Bro did you get a manicure ? your nails look really shiny 0__o

[lederlude]

well... i am a beginner, so i am sorry, if the question is stupid: you have e, e+9,asus2,a and two times b7 .... then you play an e again.

so there are 6 bars... or 7 with the last e ... how does it continue if you start new?

i tried an e on the 7th and an e on the 8th... then start again with e on 1st... then e+9 and so on. but thats are 3 e in a row... and thats a little bit boring. ?!?

Your videos are so helpful, thanks for everything!

I'm self taught using videos like this on youtube, so you're really great!

Is it just me or do the fingertips and wrist on your left hand kill after playing for ages? Am I doing it wrong?

0:33-0:51 "E major add 9", "adding the 3rd back on"? Is it possible to explain this lingo to a novice? Or maybe there is another video that explains this type of lingo?

[MathGeekQ]

@bigredfatcow this chord progression is in the key of E major. The notes on an E major scale are E F# G# A B C# D# and finally back to E (higher than the first E). If you count them, there are 7 notes in major scale, after that, the pattern repeats itself (but the notes are higher).

[MathGeekQ]

@bigredfatcow If you go from E, F# ... and so on all the way up to E that would be 8 notes, one more would be nine notes, which in this case would be F#. Any major chord is composed of 3 notes ( the 1st, 3rd and 5th on the scale) any extra notes added are called "added notes" since he added the high F#, the chord is called an Emaj add9.

[MathGeekQ]

@bigredfatcow As for the A major chord, the notes on an A major chord, again, are the 1st, 3rd and 5th on ITS scale, which are A, C# and E. The first A chord he plays is an A suspended 2nd chord because, instead of playing the 3rd note of the scale, he is substituting it for the 2nd, thus its "suspended" on the 2nd, hence the name "A sus 2nd". There is also "A sus 4th", in which the 3rd is replaced by the 4ht note on the scale.

He only plays Asus2nd for a brief moment, and then adds the 3rd

herez a handy hint i just accidently learned. when trying new patterns, put an earphone in your left ear and rest your chin on the guitar. If you hit a wrong string....you feel it the whole way through your head...i've been able to pick up picking patterns really fast as a result. give it a go and thumbs up if it works

[Spazimusic]

Hey, I've been looking around the net for videos like this. Thanks for this great upload :)

SIMPLY GREAT LESSONS!!! KEEP IT UP.

[jordanthecat]

Good lesson. Pretty fingernails.

[Canamjay]

Your lessons/demos are very professional.. what I DON'T like is the 'music' (noise) crashing furniture, static on my speakers on your intros and exits.. increasingly, I find this most annoying.. sets my teeth on edge.. don't know why anyone would think this adds anything to your site.. and keeps me going away..

[Bretttt24]

prettry sure your speakers suck.

[iVideosongs]

@Canamjay If you're talking about the spinning pick logo, that's the sound that often happens when plugging in an electric guitar. Common sound in live concerts when the player takes a hand-off from the roadie on a new one. Sorry if you don't like it.
