Chords ( C-Am-G) and Melody Guitar Lesson by Siggi Mertens

[blabbyschoo]

20 bucks to everyone who only clicked this to hear him talk lol

[liaalixx]

Ich find es einfach super, wie Du es erklärst.

Ich würde mich zu tode freuen, wenn Du ein Video machen könntest, wo Du genauer erklärst, wie man zwischen Akkordanschlägen eine Melodie zupft/spielt.

Ich hoffe Du verstehst meine Frage ^.^

[kat4pahn]

thanks, great sounds enjoy your teching

[HeyRuka]

I love you. Subbed.

[adshedsyd]

Siggi thanks for your great contribution . I am wondering how you work out which pentatonic scale to use with the various chords. for example if you are using a 1-4-5 progression in c what pentatonic scales should I use in ahead of the chord change.

Do you have any videos on some of the bob dylan songs/

[MrJonyjo]

very nice lesson Siggi Thx alot :) Can you do more video in the same style??

[yolodari]

[stalkermonolith]

This song is like the Obamanation from Ed Montana, isn't it?

[malumba2003]

hallo siggi! erstmal vielen dank für die tollen videos! ein einziges problem, dass ich hab ist...ich komm da nie so genau drauf wie deine rechte hand arbeitet...wie oft in welchem up un down ryhtmus und bei welchem schlag du dann zur nächsten note du wechselst uns so zeug. es fällt mir ein bisschen schwer das nachzuvollziehen! wäre schön, wenn du mir da vlt mal einen tipp geben könntest auf was ich da achten kann. oder gibt es ein bestimmtes video dazu?

vielen dank!!! und weiter so ;-)

Hello siggi5153. I wanted to let you know that when i came across your videos, they were very inspiring to me. I have practiced some of the techniques that you've shown, and it has made me a better player. Thank you for sharing, and nice work. You are a true artist.

[vicmexe]

Hey Siggi! Your lessons is amazing! I can't just appreciate it and your giftedness ins teaching enough. please, if you won't mind i will love if you post a complete 'acoustic melody tutorials' on different keys. If it means buying a DVD or CD of it from you or you giving a link to such, I will be grateful.

[icommunism]

thanks siggi

[finntheradis]

that is a particulary fine lesson,you continue to be an inspiration.

[kodelciukas2233]

[jackloganbill]

Thanks for the great lessons!

Merry Christmas,

jackL

[meangreen4321]

Hi, don't you mean to say that you're playing C-major pentatonic? When you say A pentatonic, you probably mean Am Pentatonic but you play from C to C.

[Adnamira]

I've been progressing to this point for a while now, but I was trying to use major and minor scales for the melody. Watching you use pentatonic scales made something click for me then. Thanks, Siggi.

[bikeroyley]

Another excellent lesson thank you Ziggi

[mohdsaeedful]

thanks siggi

[utahjai]

Thank you for such an inspiring and interesting combination of melody and chord.

You are the best!

[dericgod]

[88robi88]

This "intro" is cool!!

[fivetowngirl]

[dericgod]

[SaskStrum]

Great lesson. Sounds a little like Banana Pancakes intro

[axedoff]

[erwmlw]

Thnks Siggi u r a star.

[supraspeed1]

how do you know what notes to pick when you are strumming let's say a C or G chord for the accompanying melody? do you have to learn scales for that?

[onkelbuke]

sounds great. i try. :) wonderfull melodi.

Grüße Chris

[riomilou]

Dear Teacher,

i love this song !

Thanks for your new DVD. Its is very very good.

[Shaun750]

Very very good lesson. Real encouragement to learn some scales and have fun.

I'm off to find them right now.

Is there any way you could put up some tab?

A simple way maybe you could have it written down and hold it up to the cam for a few seconds,then we could pause it.

Thanks for taking the time,i'll surely subscribe.

[myslyknock]

HELLO Sir , very nice melody as well as strumming can you tell help me out how can I improve my leading and playing up melodies because what I have found that sometimes I pluck wrong strings which in result gives a wrong can you help me out tk cre.God bless you

[rne1971]

Siggi, you are my teacher!

[DannyKishMusic]

actually ur using the A major scale

[SirSmokedALot]

Hi, ty in general i like to say ty for ur lesson and the big inpiration that u have given to me, but i got a question too is it possible to get some downloads of ur songs of the Johnny Ketzl band i like the songs and lyrics very much and the singer is for me a great entertainer nice greeting to him =))

[69lennie69]

And only three chords. Amazing

[passion2serv]

I enjoy your guitar lessons. I like the country sound, particularly this song. I didn't understand the name, what was it? Thanks.

[siggi5153]

The song is called: Die Liebe hat verloren by Johnny Ketzel und die Schließer, passion2 serv

[parnando]

Ok, i have been playing and humming this wonderful melody to my newborn son, any chance in translating the lyrics to English? Please! otherwise I will have to make up my own, which could be bad!........you guys are Great!

[parnando]

Siggi you are fantastic! What a great sense of melody.You got me out of my rut! Thankyou!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[soclive]

Great work, keep it up

[kylicek]

Thanks so much, Siggi! This lesson really opened up that playing style to me. I'm really enjoying it! Out of curiosity, do you do much with alternate tunings? I would love to get some exposure to some of those... Thanks, again!

[siggi5153]

Only with dropped D.

[woodab1]

Thanks Siggi I really enjoy your lessons. I am 44 years old and just learning. I lived in Ansbach for 3 years. How close to there are you ?

[siggi5153]

I´m from Münster in north Rhine westfalia which is in the north of Germany.

[onezime13]

You are a great teacher, but since y am a very slow learner,could it be possible to have the tab., it would help me very much.

Thank you

Jean

[siggi5153]

Sorry, there are no tabs. Siggi

[hypnosync1]

Very inspiring, and I am still learning. Your lessons always contain a fresh point of view.

[godzy85]

Thank you sooo much!

[cliko67]

Thanks,

[HarposGhost]

Another quality lesson, Siggi - plenty to take in and then to practice what's been learnt ( a lot better than just being told "play this, then play that", etc ). Thanks again.

[Rubin8]

great: i like your way to explain and play the songs in a personal manner (my english suck i hope you can understand what i'm writing lol) many thanks for your lessons

greetings from italy :)

rubin

[siggi5153]

Your English is great.

Sometimes I think people outside the USA and Britain like my lessons because my " School English " is easier to understand than the language of native speakers. Siggi

[deepee1111]

As a native English speaker from the UK, I would agree that Siggi's English is much better than 90% of British citizens. Regional variations can be very different from standard English.

[deepee1111]

Rubin, your English is great. Maybe more of us English speakers should take the time to learn another language.

[marktull]

You have an extraordinary gift and talent. If all the teachers in my life had your skill to break down something that is complicated and make it simple, I would be a genius. Thanks to you, my ability to play the guitar has vastly improved with a few lessons.

[siggi5153]

Nice to hear that. Siggi

[rennurx]

Siggi,

Your teaching is impressive,thank you. In studying your lesson at the end you talk about switching from country/folk genre to a rock genre. Tooling with what you were doing if you take the C - Am - G sequence and flip flop the Am and C to; Am - C - G and use the same minor penatonic scale the country to rock results. Thank you for the great insite to this!

[Russianish]

amazing how 3 chords and some notes in between them creates such an amazing song that has such variations depending on what notes you use as transitions. Good work.

[siggi5153]

I´m amazed, too, about that.

[dominator68]

Love your work mate - keep it coming

[sigginthr]

Hallo Siggi, ich danke Dir für diese Lektion, ich lerne fast täglich von Dir und finde es großartig, was Du hier machst.

[siggi5153]

dank dir.

[JanniFender]

Great lesson.

Give us more of that.

[siggi5153]

thank you

[enderep12]

G R E A T!

I love your lessons

[siggi5153]

nice to hear that!

[devnar]

thanks for all ur lessons siggi! i have actually joined guitar classes and i have to say that ever since i found ur videos, I'm really reluctant to attend those classes. i find ur videos to be more helpful than riding all the way to my classes for an hour of useless cacophony which some term as "teaching". Thanks again. keep them coming! :)

[heatleyd]

bom chicka wah wah! :D great lesson!

[siggi5153]

Thanks heatleyd, nice to hear from you.

[coopermano9]

Cheers siggi, iam very grateful, keep them coming. regards Carl

Thanks Carl.

[emceeshan]

[siggi5153]

Thank you.

[jdalend]

sweet.

as a rookie it's good to get to watch someone who already is a good player think.

Keep up the great lessons.

thanks

[paintedhorse1957]

wonderfull

[deepee1111]

This is a great lesson for me. The melody makes it sound great. I will need to spend a lot of time learning to play it. Thanks.

[siggi5153]

Thanks for all your support. Haven´t talked too much about playing, have we? Greets to Scotland.
