woo.
Very interesting videos on Jazz Justin.
More of these please.
So much information – and mostly free. Justin really is a gentleman
im at the point of smashin mine up!.just wona pick it up and play like you
….. i just seem to play the same shit… my fun has ran out with the guitar . why?????
i find when i get stuck to change my development. in other words if you are sick of the same chords, stop w/ chords and just run scales, all sorts of different ones. or if you’re running scales all the time, try writing a chord sequence w/ lyrics. Or learn some alternate tunings and re-tune your guitar to play w/ a slide or something. Explore all the different facets of being a well-rounded guitarist (Justin has lessons about all of these things, too).
leezeay dont give up!!! i still struggle and sometimes seeing someone realy good is frustrating, sometimes inspiring. stick at it you can only inprove. remember its the journey not the destination if thay doesnt sound to deep
I can completely understand your frustration!
I don’t play the guitar but sometimes I want to throw my instrument trough the window. But then if I don’t practice for a day I start missing it and I’m motivated again.
Unfortunately its impossible to play like Justin i few weeks or even years, you must think about the seperate things like chords, if you start with playing a song it just cant sound good at the beginning. Dont give up, guitar is realy worth of your work
is self ttought really the best way? had a friend wot came round every so ofton. now he has gone and im on my own
. been like it 2 years . cant see the light,,,,,,but think i feel it ?.
some times feels right >>>>> some times dont , more than often it do’nt . i no the more i play the beta i get .just gets a bit borin playin the same songs. soz just lookin for a lift . hope thats not to deep lol
Know this is not relevant to this lesson
Please do some John Mayer Style Guitar Lesson
)
(I know you read comments when you post a new video
You hit points where you become disinterested, but that’s only because you need to find something that interests you. Something just out of your current ability is best, because you’ll work yourself out of the slump and be happy with what you’ve done, and you wont get too stressed. Dont give up.
A John Mayer Style Guitar Lesson could entail many different things, since he is a real guitar virtuoso.
Do you mean his finger-picking style, and how he keeps rhythm with his thumb slapping, or do you mean his soloing, electric guitar stuff?
If it’s his soloing, you might as well ask Justin to do a Stevie Ray Vaughan style video lesson.
i agree with your last point. i have a friend who went to berklee and spoke with a teacher who taught john mayer and he said that he was a complete SRV rip off. you can easily tell.
well i really wanted Justin to do some Classic John Mayer Songs…finger style mainly
The dominant chords are probably the most versitile! Pat Martino has a free essay on his website called “The Nature of Guitar” or somethin’ like that. He talks a lot about how chords are related and focuses on the dominant and augmented shapes. The dominants are interesting because of their ability to transform into different chords. It’s a bit complex for the beginner, but I think it’s something to look at if you want a completely different perspective on the guitar (and music in general)!
One more thing– a sub for the dominant 7 is the flat 5th chord above the dom that you play. For example that sub for a G7 would be Db7~ it’s a really cool chromatic movement to the CM in the 2-5-1 or the 1-6-2-5 progressions. So when you talk about all these variations of a dominant 7, you can really mess around with them to get some cool sounds.
complete SRV rip off? john mayer? how?
he tries to play exactly like him. and listen to him sing a blues song. you can tell he’s purposely trying to make his voice sound like stevie’s.
I wouldnt JM is copying him, but he does use alot of his guitars stylings. But im sure every now and then he probably puts that stevie inflection in his voice. Overall though, John mayer is pretty much his own thing…over than his blues playing.
i guess. but i would agree with the person who actually taught him
