If you want women to go one step further, rent a dog from a friend for one day, let the lady meet him or her, tell her next day your dog died, and let the magic happen.

Sean, I believe I have been watching from almost the beginning, in the BC era (before covid). You were playing a Taylor 3-series? Times have changed and you have gotten the recognition you deserve for being a YouTube iconoclast. Are you still in the Sarasota, FL area?

[diegooland]

Cool. This got me playing around with adding G 6ths to the Em idea. The G on the B string 8th fret as the target note. I peddle the low E while dropping down by 6ths to the 5th (in G). It's okay if the open A rings out because it's a second in G or fourth in A. Then back to the Em chord. And now you know why my bass player hates me.

Is this only useful for keys where you can have E in the base?
Would be great with tips on how to generalize it!

Started out weird, but then changed into something incredible. Thank you.

Is that similar to DRIVE by Mr. Bonomassa?

[jaynedoe]

Oh sure, you refer to some chords as MAJOR, but how do you think that makes minor chords feel?

.."everyone should see.." hey thats me! Thanks!

The dogs know the truth and will tell on you.

What about the USA borders? That's the border you should be concerned with!!!

[waldenmathews]

Really good, and such a departure from the pervasive and monotonous "pentatonic shapes" you find on so many channels. You got thru to my instinct to discover and invent. So easy to lose that. Bravo.

Hey! I remember seeing your videos when i was just starting out with guitar back in 2019! Your videos helped a lot great to see you still here doing your thing! Rock on brother from London England! ❤

Hello Sean, its been few months I found you on YouTube... first few vidoes I was like... man this guy has big ego and it does not feel good to me. Idk why, but then I was watching you more and more and then I upgraded to stage, that you really CAN and it was just my bad look on you. Big thanks for your sharing. Not gonna lie... I am still beginner with my 9 chords "army", did not even started any scales and so on... but I wanted to ask you if its possible to add strumming patterns, it could be arrows downs and ups, it can be one simple picture in corner. That would definitely help to people like me. Keep great work and lets see you in next video. Waiting for that notification bar. 🙂 Last words: You made me buy Kyser Shortcut capo and even when I can play one simple fingerstyle pattern, you showed me different world. 🙂

[FrenchSquareDancer]

That amp really does have a nice, creamy, rich, sound.

Sean, my brother, help an old returning guitar player out. How does the patreon work, can I see a list of the lessons? Is there a trial period? Can I cancel at anytime? I have gained huge inspiration from your lessons and would love to try the patreon. But my brother, make it dog easy for people like me to spend their hard earned SS payments. LOL. Seriously, very, very helpful and pulled me out of a huge rut. But honestly becoming a patreon member should be super simple, easy to understand (for old people). Keep up the great work and a big THANK YOU you have helped me so much.

how does one know when They/I hit the ... intermediate level?

[jayfreeman]

my passion ( one of them) is teaching guitar....and i like ( not love) your videos. Your ideas are usually good but the essence of what you want to convey gets lost in your frenetic communication style.
The journey of guitar learning is really a process of building rhythm skills on top of chord/ scale knowledge. There are no shortcuts. It all looks easy looking backwards once you have the basics bit acquiring the basics is hard. So every viewer of these videos comes tk the table with a different level of skill sets and an eagerness to learn "something. ".

The question i always ask about a videos is centered on " take aways" To me, that is the essence of good teaching..Often your videos do not meet that fundamental. b tal criteria. i do wonder you think about this????
