Help me on my quest to bring awareness to what school doesn't teach about playing music.
Our education system has most people thinking that the act of playing Music is performing a specific set of rehearsed notes the same way every performance. That's true in some cases, but so is creativity and improvisation. Generally speaking, school doesn't teach you the creativity part.
Music takes practice and rehearsal, but let's compare it to sports. A basketball team rehearses or practices, but there's a big difference between a basketball game and a Harlem Globetrotters show. To someone who has never seen either, they probably won't realize how completely different the concepts are. Orchestras/school are like the Globetrotters, rehearsing to perform the exact same thing every show. Most bands are little like playing a game. You have practiced plays and moves, but you never know exactly how the songs will unfold. It's like a game. Have fun, and try to play off your team(band)mates.

Epico ❤
cool!!
Glad you like it!
I'm looking for content so feel free to shoot me a question.
How do you know what chords you're playing? My answer I don't! lol! I've never know what chords I'm playing, I've only known what key I'm in or my master mode, what my diatonic master key is...I could give a shit less about what chords I'm playing. Fuck pianist!! and other instruments, my guitar is the fucking best! My guitar and me piss excellence! Guitars or for the Gods, the rest take a back set...hop in the back and hold my beer.
I’ve been feeling this too. It takes a few seconds to identify what chord I’m playing but honestly it seems like a waste of time. I understand how to find the key and all of the chords and triad shapes of the key. The note names don’t matter - I just know their positions and can be confident that I’m playing the right notes
@@martea726 Right On! yes martea726 We play all kinds of techniques don't we bro? We don't care to think about what notes we're passing our fingers over when we play triads, major, minor, augmented, diminished runs, harmonic minor shred runs, pentatonic runs, diatonic runs beyond calculation in pentatonic or diatonic... and all their relative arpeggios and all the arpeggio variations, melodic minor runs with the neo-classical 3NPS shred, 7 NPS shred alternate speed picking, ascending and descending in 4s 5s, neo-classical pedal licks, double stops, bends, vibratos, slides, sliding with a bend, tapping, hammer ons pull offs, right hand muting technique executing kick ass staccato, legato, double bends, trills, warp speed tremolo picking, finger picking etc etc etc...we rape the fretboard daily! Oh yes, why in the fuck would we care about piano keys and notes? I don't thin we do, we live to pickup our most excellent axes and jam on our killer gear. We love changing strings on our guitars, we know our guitars and love them they're sacred to us. We have Ikigai (ee-key-guy) is a Japanese concept for that which gives your life worth, meaning, or purpose.
Prime example, sir! I got to play with a lot of great instrumentalists when in the choir/orchestra/theater/opera scene while I was in school, but when I picked up bass to join some wedding/bar/festival bands it rocked my world a little bit. Most of those guys were better instrumentalists, but none of them really had any idea what they were doing. That was when I started to realize that there's something more important than the science and theory of Music.
@@martea726Learning these concepts is what let's other folks pick up any other instrument and be able to make sense of it day one. If there isn't any interest in other instruments it probably wouldn't give much of a leg up. It probably would mostly help with just communicating with other non guitarists.
interesting video, i used to take piano lessons and play piano few years ago and now i'm learnign guitar and i can see what you mean.
I went to school for piano and know enough guitar to help most people. Feel free to ask questions! Makes it easier for content!
Pretty good explanation of why guitar players can get away with certain things that other instrument players cannot.
Yeah, if you learn a lick on a stringed instrument, you can use it in any key pretty easily- generally speaking. Other folks do not get that luxury!
I now realize that the G-sharp nomenclature comment should have been referencing A-flat. I'm sorry for my transgression against the theory of Music.
rare to see the view from the drummers position.... nice cover.
Thanks! I just got the gopro mounts and harnesses. I think I'm looking forward to whipping up content lol. I definitely gotta get a room mic out in front of the band to mix in better audio.
i think i'm a step closer to buying drums after watching this vid
JUST DO IT
This is sick
Thanks! I'm emotionally preparing myself for when the Berklee drummers find it and tear me apart.
Thanks!
Dang Matt, you never cease to amaze me!!!😮❤
Thanks Glenn. I'll do what I can to keep it that way! Always a work in progress 😁
a growing pain in learning the importance of lights. *sigh*
Hell yeah!!!!
Hell Yeah!!!!
Great job man
Thanks. I'm down to take requests to build up content and get subs!
Where’s the fish tank?
Ah... Well it started out as wanting to a full cover/lesson the drum kit, bass, and electric... But I ran into a couple recording hiccups so I just whipped that up ... But your right 😞 I should have whipped it up from the tank.
@@mattoakley5613 that’s it! I’m unsubscribing 😂
You should make your song simple like nirvana
Perhaps next time... Probably not... But perhaps 🙃
If you're bored playing bass, you aren't doing it right
It's so true. I'm starting to play other instruments with bands more for experience and variety, but bass is a lot of fun. There's a lot of weight to those low notes and you can swing a band around.
if you were bored you should've had me play a couple. lol
I'm down to swap tunes Mr. Dickins!
Very Kool!
Thanks Bricks!
OKAY! I SEE YOU 0:42
Thanks for the comment! but what about 0:42? I feel like that was my biggest fumble lol. Im confused
That was freakin nuts dude. I love the camera placement.
Thanks man. I'm gonna try to have some more fun with that go pro
Really good my friend!
Matt, why do I feel ike I'm drowning??? Gus
C'mon, I talk about drowning my students a lot! Lol. Into the deep end we go!
Bah. It should say "Learn the art of the craft before the technique of the tool."
great video and great song!
Thanks! It's a fun tune to play for sure. Frickin epic.
I absolutely LOVE this song... You fell asleep in my car, I drove the whole time But that's okay, I'll just avoid the holes so you sleep fine I'm driving, here I sit, cursing my government For not using my taxes to fill holes with more cement
It is really catchy.
I love this 🙏🏼
I pulled it from my video "a stoll through my mind." It's a long rambling video to just get my ideas out. Eventually I plan on making an organized music course on patreon, but for now KZread is my rough draft.
Can you tab the chords plz?
They are basic bar chords. Look up the "caged system." Its a great concept and will help understand how I build chords off the basic riffs. tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/3-doors-down/kryptonite-tabs-19140 this is the tab off ultimate guitar, but I think I used it as an option for a way to play it. Good Luck.
Very Cool! Thanks for the info !! You just made this very easy for me......
Randomly happened upon your channel today. I've been playing guitar for ~15 years, never got *good*. Had a teacher once, near the start, but mostly self-taught. Why am I rambling this context? Because you do a great job at teaching. It really feels like you found something you're passionate about and thought "This is cool enough other people might find it cool if they knew". So, subscribed. Keep it up!
I'm trying to "give music back to the people" In a nutshell, drum circles have been part of cultures for *tens of thousands* of years and nobody needed lessons. Everyone just felt the rhythm. In the last 500-1000 years the "language" of music developed scales. It's almost like "rhythm became three dimensional" by adding pitch/notes to the rhythms. It's not rocket science, but it's a physical language that's taught as a science. I'm trying to change the game. Thanks for the support.
Okay I’ve finished the video, really dig your teaching style thank you
Thanks dude. I'll keep em coming. I'm very not famous so feel free to throw out requests lol.
Bro great video, thanks!
KZread will not let me thumbs up this video 😢
Weird... Idk
Awesome
Awesome
Thanks for the tutorial
This song is a classic
This song IS a classic.
Awesome
Good stuff Matt
I love these tutorials ❤
Impressive!! Methodical and easy to follow ^_^
Thank you!
This is my favorite song 🦎
It's a fun, catchy riff. Idk who the guitarist is for BOC, but he's nasty.

That felt so lightweight to watch. I can not play an instrument as my parents didn’t support it. I hated music in school as it was taught so lame. I didn’t really understand all what you were doing in this video. But finally I try to fight against this heayy brushed thick paint of the past and fulfill my wish to become a musician by cruising through KZread to search for lightweight motivation to first of all get a feel for what „making music“ means. Your video helped me a lot to understand how to keep a playful and curious attitude. Thanks for sharing 🫶🏻👾
I'll try to keep easy songs rolling. I'll take a shot at a request. If you could pick a song and instrument for me to tutorial casually, what would it be?
@@mattoakley5613 I have no clue what I should ask for as I don’t not even now what makes a song a good (or easy/ difficult) song as I guess there are different answers to this. Like even simple things in songs seem to be chosen wisely by the producers. Rn I am just overwhelmed by the amount of things I see. That’s why I liked your video. It showed me how a musician would approach a song if he had to play it on a piano. I also like videos showing the same song played by a beginner to a professional to understand the range of quality in playing and what it needs for this. Edit: and also I just like videos which just feel good and lightweight so they take my fears away and motivate me like yours did. They way you talk sounds so easy and confident but in the same way supportive as if a buddy of mine just showed me things.
@@manmadeartists just pick some tunes you like to listen to or bands you like. It's not about "learning the song." It's about simplifying the song as a whole of just picking a couple easy parts out of it. We use them to get the fingers working. Pretend it's like running drills in a sport your learning. Don't look at it as "competing in the sport."
I’m subscribing. But I fully expect more of the nonchalant vibes to not worry about what I don’t get.
The most recent meme I shared: "I bring a sort of silly goose vibe to the situation that serious geese don't really understand." =D
@@mattoakley5613 😂 I’m more of a “what if I’m not silly enough?” Kinda goose.
@@mattoakley5613 That just made me think.... to be a silly goose.... woudl stand out, because geese can be straight up dicks sometimes. Great videos/lessons, too, btw.
have no idea what this is for, but I like your energy
I teach and perform locally (upstate NY) and host open mic/jam nights for newer players who just want to meet and play with other people. Most music performances (and tutorial videos) are all more formal, professional, and organized. Although I take music seriously and like to play with professional-minded people, a lot of folks just want to go jam with others but not have to commit to a band. There are tons of excellent music tutorials online, but I'm really trying to oversimplify to encourage newer players. Over the last 10 years of playing weddings, bars, festivals etc, I've learned you can really take some liberties with the songs. Think about some of your favorite cover tunes: Those musicians can change the original, so can you (or anyone else.) Thank you!
You’d speed up talking off and on so I thought I accidentally sped up the clip lol
I was right, very cool insight, Matt. You're probably one of the best musicians I've ever had the privilege to play with. Even though our encounter in Barnstormers was very brief, I learned more from you in those few week then I did in like 6 months. Thank you for giving me that knowledge. Thank you for giving me that chance, even though I had to step away, I cherish the time I spent with you. I hope to play with you again some day soon. You freakin rock man!!! Thank you again.
You're probably the only person who ever watched it lol. I know I ramble, but I feel like Music has been pigeonholed as something so much simpler than what it really is.
A stroll through that mind will definitely be a trip, hold on, let me get my popcorn. This is going to be good
I know you
Informative
I try Mr. Shark
I love how authentic and how natural you are I love how you screw up and leave it right in there . I love everything! This is so awesome
