And I must confess your teaching methodology and lessons are the best there is to offer when it comes to understanding the mechanics of music on guitar. Many thanks to you and I hope you bring out more lessons for us. YouDaMan!

    You can tell when negative comments are left on great videos such as this that the negative typical spoiled behavior express some type of entitlement of how a video should be titled and taught. This lesson is either at your level of understanding below or above your understanding, this is one video that 40,000 different people have viewed, it’s not the absolute lesson for everyone but it’s a very informative lesson. This video is for the more serious and dedicated player , not the lick a minute picker who never develops the ability to make music and play songs and understand what they are doing. Be patient and learn it’s boring and irritating time consuming frustrating and aggravating, but commitment to learning is very rewarding! 🎸

    Good stuff Andrew! This is very similar to something I've tried to do. Play a chord, then walk ascending or descending down the scale to the next chord tone of the next chord. It's especially challenging (and fun) to do this with 3rds as I need to know if the chord is minor or major, etc.

    Andrew, you always manage to combine concepts and playing so effortlessly. The information you provide is succinct but not superficial. You have a knack for teaching this. Been following you for a while but became a Patreon because this lesson was just amazing. You make it look easy! If I had one critique, the documents provided for Patreons always have the thumbnail of the lesson on top of it which makes absolutely sense but I would prefer to have more printer friendly versions. I generally prefer to print things out and these things always cost more color which seems like a waste to be honest. Most scales are color-coded on the diagrams, so I still need to print it in color. Perhaps you could upload a printer friendly version in the future? Cheers from Luxembourg!

    Thanks! I get a lot of mixed feedback on the orientation of the fretboard diagrams, so thanks for weighing in. I choose to have the diagrams match my fretboard in my videos for a couple reasons. The first is because I don't want the graphic to be travelling in the opposite direction of the video, which I think can lead to more confusion. The other reason is that I'd rather you be looking at what I'm doing and using the graphics to support and clarify what you're seeing, rather than just staring at the diagrams and copying those. Being able to watch a guitar player and decipher what they're doing is a very important skill to develop, and you won't always have a fretboard diagram to help you. I do provide the flipped version of all the diagrams over on my Patreon in PDF form for those who want the best of both worlds. Thanks so much for watching! :)

    @@andrewclarkeguitar ​​⁠ It’s hard to say, which is probably kind of the problem. I definitely want to learn a lot of the stuff you have already shown on KZread about playing licks between chords and making my own music, the ear training stuff so I can get better at listening by ear , I can tell you this, I don’t wanna learn every single triad, and I don’t want to learn every single possible scale. This is where I find I often get frustrated because I’m left just sitting here memorizing every single thing with no application I think that learning bits and pieces of triads and a scale with a few cords that go with that in one lesson would be much better, which is kind of like what you do. I love the sound of having chords and licks. It’s so cool and that’s what I want to do in my free time when I’m not learning long David Gilmour solos haha

    I've gotten more than halfway though the video, but i haven't seen anything like what i would call "fills," which are the link between rhythm and lead. No, what you're teaching is how to play a "moving baseline." But, i would leave all that for the bass player. After all, when playing in a band, you want to stay out of each other's way! This is another mis-titled video. I really hate it when people mistitle their videos to get more views. It's like "click bait," and it sucks.
