I’ve been playing guitar for over 40 years and you never cease to amaze me! You are so generous with your knowledge AND you’re a great teacher as well.
Thank you Sean!
Much luck and prosperity in L.A.!!!

[frankdion]

Glad you have arrived in LA. And another great lesson. Thanks...

[glenglen]

Awesome teaching as usual !! Thank You ! Always appreciated up here on a -25 C day here in Canada. Tks again.👍👍👌

[mikegorski]

A nice follow up to your last " simple tricks that you won't forget " video.
Good luck on your new quest in L.A.

Very nice lesson Sean! You are great at taking music theory and boiling it down into practical shortcuts that are easy to digest and implement.
I hope your move to California is entertaining and prosperous!

So, basically (tying to your recent pentatonic lesson), you are tying a major pentatonic two string pattern to a minor pentatonic (three-string) diamond pattern based off of the last note (the 6th of course) of the major pentatonic pattern. Nice and convenient! Thanks for another cool lesson.

Love it, Sean! This is one of the best/most practical explanations of the relevant minor for guitar that I’ve seen. It just clicks so we’ll! Thanks.

Just ordered my D'angelico premier dc mini after watching your video on it a while back. Cannot wait. Great lessons btw.👍

Why do so many well certainly the couple of instructors I had growing up man they made the guitar so restrictive. course that was back in the late 70s and early 80s but man you just make it so simple when I just take the A and move it down you know take the f shape and move it down take that. any of that could have been taught instead of oh no you have to do it this way and that's the only way at least it feels that way when you don't know the things. I played guitar for years never knew what a pentatonic scale was that was my fault I never really looked but still I have come to enjoy the guitar so much more in the last couple years it's been wonderful and amazing and I can't thank you enough for rekindling that joy of the instrument

Thanks, Sean 🙏🏻

Good lesson, helps open up the fretboard.

Be good to you 🤍💛

Relative minor and maj7 (another lesson) were something I haven't really dealt with much.
Great lesson and a real eye opener for me. Really entertaining too! Thanks!

[precisionsoundworksstudio]

Love it! Definitely going to work through this vid. So awesome to know that you are in California, right now.

[DelThompson]

Another excellent lesson on how to add expressive fills while playing. Thank you!

[rayross]

Yes, B flat, the true people's key. Thanks Sean, hope California is the place you outta be. It's got swimming pools & movie stars.

[jcburger]

Love me some D'Angelico. I own 2 Premier DC, a 6 and a 12. My current 'first to grab' is a Boardwalk with P90s but mod'ed with Grover lockers in black and master volume with treble bleed, upgraded pot, caps and switch/jack. Both have awesome Seymour-Duncans from the factory. Both guitars really bloomed out the PUPs when mod'ed. Lusting for a Mini like that one but with P90's.
Always enjoy your lessons. I take lessons locally as well, they compliment each other.

[josephcasey]

Great info, so helpful getting it into the muscles and bones.

[lsteved]

That was great, totally worth the price of admission for the "a shaped c with easy access to the two a minor pentatonics trick" alone! (Ok, not the catchiest trick name, but you get the idea 😜)

[danielrenaud]

Plus I cannot tell you how much I'm loving that guitar you are totally selling that guitar

[MustafaBaabad]

Thank you very much for the very good tip Daniel. It will need some time to exercise to make it natural in my play. However, may I suggest that when making explanation for new things, give some pause when you speak to give us opportunity to us so that we can digest the new and valuable information. The pause will also emphasize the important of the information. (Probably I need this due to my limitted English 😊).
By all means thank you very much for this melodious trick. Cheers from Indonesia.
