8:07 that pick has reached another dimension, it's lost forever

Like so many other picks, until you do the laundry and find them all

Yeah. That pick is gone. Even when you see where a pick has fallen, it's gone forever. Sensei, here, didn't even see where he threw it. Good luck Sensei. Your pick has been picked up by its mothership now.

+samuraiguitarist 99 times out of a 100 the pick is sent to a parallel universe. That 1 time it's in your jean's little pocket

@@gauravdas22 (Reviving an old thread here, LOL) On one occasion, while searching for a Dunlop Jazz III pick that seemingly vanished right from under my nose, I stuck my hand into the couch cushions and rooted around. Lo and behold, I could feel it! I grabbed ahold, extricated my hand and looked at it. Yep, it was a guitar pick, alright... but it wasn't my Jazz III. To my considerable confusion, I found myself staring at a promotional pick for the teenybopper clothing store "Hot Topic." I've never been inside a Hot Topic; I purchased the couch new; no one had ever played guitar on my couch. To this day, I have no... idea... how... 🎸👻
8:06 and that was the last time that pick was ever seen
You got my subscribtion ; i play guitar for 16 years I made 700 gigs this last 3 years and this is the first time I hear something new challenging and interesting in a guitar tutorial for ages
It's been a long time since I learned so much in less than 10 minutes. Love the presentation style too. Definitely subbing.

@@The_Invisible_Self I did! Definitely not 6 years better as a guitarist, but that's down to laziness rather than the quality of content 😅
Much respect, sensei. Thank you for this. You’ve encouraged my desire to seriously get down to learning the guitar, after over fifty years of trying to figure it out without lessons. New rig, new headspace, new commitment. Muchas gracias, amigo!
I've seen a million and one guitar vids, but this is probably the most useful. You tapped right into what I need to work on. Thanks mate!
This is a wealth of knowledge. Thank you so much for posting it-it's totally where I am at right now starting guitar 2 months ago. I actually said last night to myself-why aren't there more original rhythm patterns-why do people use the same ones but yet write original lyrics, melodies etc...and then this shows up on FB today. Mad props Senor Sensei!
The fact that you are able to pack so much USEFUL information into only 9 minutes is amazing. I am very interested in exploring different chord voicing and this video is just what I was looking for. Thanks for posting. You have a new subscriber.
Thank you mr. samurai for uploading a lesson full of nicely packed essentials which a lot of people seem to ignore, feel difficult associating with, or often overlook. All these things would be more than just helpful for anyone who wants to keep improving their playing. A big thumb up!
I have been playing for 2 years and this video is exactly what I needed. Concise and clear information on topics I have thought about before (role of chords, inversions etc.) but never bothered to check the theory. Thank you.
Very helpful and informative. Best and most succinct explanation I've come across that explains the scale degree functions and how they help with chord substitution selection. Fanx! a heap..!
hey man, your videos have helped us out not only as a band, but also as musicians. Much love brother, keep on doin it and thanks again!
4:40 I finally understand what the 7th or 5th note means! Thanks man!!
All stuff I’ve done for years without realizing it but never thought about or put into words. Even if you’ve been playing for decades it’s still good to know the the theory behind what you’ve just been doing by instinct or wrote. I love these videos.
I am watching your series and have become a huge fan of your work. I like your style of teaching. Thanks for putting this stuff out there.
I started to work on improving my strumming last week and you post a video about it.. I've been blessed! :D Thanks!
Great advice and you're a really good teacher! I especially liked the chord substitutions idea. One thing that really helped my rhythm playing get tighter was not strumming all 6 strings all of the time (sometimes 2 or 3 strings max). I kind of learned this somewhat from learning Malcolm Young riffs. It also made the discomfort I was getting in my right elbow completely vanish. Thanks again man!
Most valuable "how-to" guitar video I've seen in awhile - thank you, Sensei!
fantastic lesson man. you have accomplished getting me to understand so much so simply. I've been playing for a long time and alway look for new perspectives on things. mission accomplished.
Ok, so this is one of those really helpful vids I'm going to need to watch several times through because it has so much good stuff packed in it. Thank you!
Man this a great video. Very well explained.
Great video. I took loads of useful tools out of this. My theory isn't strong but the concepts were explained so clearly. Now one of my new favourite channels.
Great lesson! I have been playing some of these techniques for years, but didn't really understand why they worked. Thank you sir
I love that you show examples. It really helps so much.
This was a great all round lesson . Probably the most time efficent on youtube . Very useful. Thanks sensei
awesome... really like the theory bit about the chord extension, subscribed
Subscribed before I even hit the two minute mark of the video. Absolutely awesome stuff here man.
I really like your videos. I feel like they are very thought out and put in a way to make learning easy as possible. Definitely subscribing
I am really impressed by this lesson! You are a really great teacher, especially because you explained some theory concepts that I thought before wasn't easy at all... Subscribed to the channel and liked the video.
this is a gold mine, good work sir
Well that's pretty good work: all is perfectly clear and well balanced with concrete examples. And all advices are well founded. Great teaching! Thanks!
This is one of the greatest lessons i've seen on youtube in years! Thank you so much i'm hitting the subscribe button now!
Very helpful. I didn't really understand which chords in a key were which function before watching this, thanks for clearing that up.
and you created another thought provoking video! easy to understand, at the same time expanding knowledge about possibilities (got work to do :) ) thanks!!!!
I'm loving these videos man! Thank you!
yaaas needed this! thanks samurai guy
I loved the video. I even saved to watch it again, and again and again. Thank you very much for sharing this information
This is the best video on the internet. Period!
Great video! An intense 9 minutes, this was the first video I've seen by you and had hoped that you made other videos discussing these techniques in more depth, particulary "knowing what scales to play around a chord" but I guess my search continues! Thanks for the video!
LOVE this lesson, and subscribed!
Just perfect. So quick and precise. Sub for life!
This actually fits similarly to what in teaching some people learning to transition from piano to rhythm keys/pad. I love to see the subtle differences and similarities instruments have, and how each instrument can learn from each other.
Wow. This was really helpful. I am definitely coming back for more. Great stuff.
Probably the most helpful video ive ever watched
And now I'm saving yet another of your videos to my guitar lessons playlist.
Great lesson, thanks!
Short n yet with so much of material so beautifully presented... u are an instant subscribe...i like ur samurai spirit dude...way to go...good luck
Worth a thumb up, and a subscription. really love how you explain thing, thanks mate
One of the best videos I've ever watched!
Like Function Substitution... i've been searching this knowledge and how it works for ages since i saw it applied in the chord progression of Like A Stone... Thank you so much Steve.
you seriously make all this theory stuff so simple. really frocks awesome.
always great, encouraging, inspiring videos!!!!
I always come back to these videos for the playing
Amazing lesson! Thank you
Great video. All the good tips without over talking.
Excellent, thanks for your enthusiasm, time, & expertise.
I think you should expand this video especially the chord substitution stuff. Really excellent rhythm playing is rare on KZread and I'm grateful for this advice.
It's guys like you that taught me to play guitar! I learned from KZread, thank you @samuraiguitarist!
I really like the when you bar the 7th fret and put your ring and pinkie on the A and Low E stings, sounds jazzy yet full. Nice lesson, especially the like function substitutions!
You just opened my eyes. Thank you so much!
very well done. great presentation
Great, useful tips for beginners & us experienced guys! Sayonara to that pick...
chord embellishments is pretty much all I *really* wanna master when playing rhythm guitar; it just sounds so good to me, but I still have a rough time being aware of both the proper chords and the scale I'm in. thanks for the awesome video!
Best video on youtube about guitar playing. And that little sound at the end of it. hahaha! Thumbs up
Wow... i finally got the thing with chord extensions and exchanging chords in function-wise.. !! You explained it in a great way
