Stuck Playing the Same Old Chords in the Same Positions? TRY THIS

Want to learn how to master the fretboard? Click here 👇

One of my favorite ways to open up the neck - triad shapes! There are so many ways to practice them and if you do it right, it will help you visualize positions you may be uncomfortable or unfamiliar with. Take that extra step to make connections to bigger chord shapes, other notes you know in that area, get a sense of some of the theory behind what you're playing -- this is the type of practice that really makes things stick.

Very well explained. If YouTube would have existed 40 years ago I would have been a professional musician.

Love it. I always let new bandmates that I’m never more than a drum fill away from landing on the next verse or chorus chord when improvising a solo or outro.

This prevents the amateur circus - ‘You finish the song. No, You finish. Ahh you kept playing. But you kept soloing. I stop when you stop! Wait, why’s he singing now?! Oh yeah, there’s an audience…”.

Do a little jam in the beginning of your tutorial video (or a little part that come later in the video of u playing something with what u explain us at the beginning), that can be cool and seem more "attractive" i think! keep up the good work ! Like always this vid was perfectly explained

Take a look at your posture. That dropped shoulder angle stands out a lot in your thumbnail.
