That's great ❤❤ ..how can i have the sheet? The link is not working
Video 🗿 Singing 🤡 Just jokes.... Keep posting these amazing videos
Sir, Im also acoustic guitar lover and according to me what your saying is 100% rit 👍
Woooooooowwww woooooowww perfecto
This guitarist must be STOPPED @Davie504
Bring it on Davie
You have got some points, right. 👍 On the other hand: the best instrument is the one which one plays. Unless played, instruments are just "trapped potential"
Thanks for the nice quote! Of course I'm jesting when I say the guitar is the best instrument, all instruments have great potential :)
Hello sir, I love the way you strum. I try following along with what you have suggested where you make a heart using your thumb and pointer but mine comes off sounding rough. Do you have a close up video of what your fingers are doing when you strum? Thank you.
Hey there, make sure you're trying to consciously relax your strumming hand. Your index and thumb should frequently separate from each other while strumming, which comes from a relaxed hand. You don't want to squeeze your fingers tightly together, which leads to much tension!
Great points, and love the little jam you did! Also, what microphone do you use to record? It sounds great!
Glad you liked it! I use a Beyerdynamic MC930 for both my guitar and voice. I've had these mics for over a decade and they've been working fantastically! Not cheap but really worth it.
New subscriber here. This is the first video I’ve watch on arranging fingerstyle. Love it. Thanks so much ❤
Thanks for subbing! I'm glad you enjoy learning from my arrangement method. I've got lots more of these arrangement tutorials on my channel, and news ones to come :)
I have a Tailor 322e. It's a 12 frey smaller scale length, slotted headstock guitar and it's wonderful. I'm a smaller frame guy and can have small hands. Works perfect for me! My first guitar that I bought a regular 14 fret and it was simply never comfortable. I tried out a smaller scale length 12 Fret and I've never gone back.
Very nice, thanks for sharing! Beyond the ergonomics, 12 frets also have a characteristic tonal quality. At least they do to my ears. I'm somehow drawn to them
Great video! I'm learning guitar after having played piano for many years so this is a great incentive 😃 also I love the combination of the guitar and pan flute!
Thank you so much, and great that you're picking up a new instrument! I hope you enjoy playing and learning the guitar as much as I do :) and I appreciate the kind words on my panflute combo
yukelele...but actually it's the bending that makes the guitar superior from all of the rest...no other instrument can do that :)
Bending sure is very expressive! Actually all fretted stringed instruments can do it, and of course the voice can too :D But pianos can't, unless you go the electronic route.
I m the first so i need a pin by the way you can double tap a comment to like 👍
I also like second i think you like your own video first
I didn't like my video first though :D Thanks for watching! Actually why do you need a pin?
My brother challenged me bit now i lose so i can tell
He is the first indian whose way of teaching makes sense to me in an easy way
Except I'm not Indian though :D
@@neilchanmusic then how do you know carnatic music so well sensei
❤
Thanks!
That is messed up. lol
I have a 7 year old son who is playing lap steel guitar and ukulele for the last 8 months. He seems to be doing fine. He doesnot read the music (which is written in A-B-C notation) but plays by the memory . He is so far able to memorize most of the songs (around 30) in solfage. I have neither discouraged or encouraged this practice. But he often asks me when will he be able to play by the ear? What should I tell him?
Hey, thanks for sharing and amazing work guiding your young son in musicianship. Well I would encourage him to focus on the process and the journey rather than an end result. Acknowledge all the steps of improvement along the way. At the end of the day, there isn't a definitive point where one can 'play by ear'. It's all subjective. It depends on how you define 'playing by ear', and also on what sort of music you're trying to 'play by ear'.
What the hell are you talking about ? Again another person that thinks he can teach.
Alright :)
Hi, I came in here on UA-cam's suggestion after having done a search on "songwriting quints quarts". I was drawn into your video by you saying "key or scale you are in" - you did not say "chord you are in" (I guess they don't say so) Edit/Insert: you may ignore all else that follows, just do - Sorry, this has become a lengthy comment. Please do not feel compelled to reply or even reply, the following has become a public memo to myself, too, in case you just do not react - thank you in advance for letting me be bubbly in your comment section, for letting me be. I am a newbie to your channel, first time around. Original comment as follows: - and I was excited to find out if and how your lesson relates to my current experience: there are many instrumentals (I am into singing - interestingly, "lead guitar" is a term from "rock" - you make me smile - music which always is some sort of dance music (Wow - it occurs to me now that you were "emphasizing" that 4th beat in context of rhythm "Name any singer male/female that dances while singing!")... that there seem to be many instrumental "songs" - me, as I am into singing, do not feel to sing along - because, as my new explanation, after having seen this video is, the singing is done by "something completely different", some wooden strummer-string (Btw, I am into ethymologye, please allow some pun on "Who is Sumner, Sting?" Answer: the lead that sings) not a human voice that could be mine (but I can always do the jailhouse rock, hope you get the point) (it's not that you could not sing along the lead guitar, but you do not feel like it, it's just too different, mostly much too high - which refers to your topic "smoothness", in another interesting way) .... ...to keep up my thread, from above: .... recently, I came about "instrumentals" that seem to lack a chorus - I now think that the chorus in itself is "smooth" but, I tentatively think, that the chorus "separates" (word you are using right at the beginning) the chorus from what's before. In other words, there might be a hidden break of smoothness - as singers realize: yes, that can play the lead on what had been head before. Yet in other words: the principle of smoothness does not apply to the relationship of chorus and pre-chorus. In fact, I experienced "singing the 5ths" as a technique to get out "when caught in a trap" (rhythmical loop). Second point, a regular question from a newbie: I wonder how smooth voice leading relates to "inverted chords", and if "inverted chords" are a concept that is basically restricted to the keyboard as a specific instrument.
Hey there, thanks for sharing your thoughts! No worries, feel free to share your thoughts out loud :) Inverted chords help a lot in achieving a smooth bass line. They allow you to choose the desired bass note such that the bass line can move up or downwards in closer intervals.
@@neilchanmusic Wow, thank you for what's kind of a perfect reply to a lengthy question - I certainly feel perfectly understood... Wow, considering what's in textbooks on classical baroque basso continuo - open notation, "to choose" - that bass line which is no the melody might be at the heart of arrangement, and transcend to songwriting. Very well-known role-models are bass-player Sting who is a great song-writer. Same for Paul McCartney. What you say makes me think about chords that always bear and carry options to "choose" from - imagine the melody in the making not given. To cut short: indeed, Sebastian Bach might have excelled in the "choice" of a smooth bass line - however, he was neither into songwriting nor did he teach or do arrangements. Should you read that - hope of some interest to you. Cheers! Again, thanks for your reply that's food for further thinking - jokingly I wonder if this "food" idiom is a standard "idiom" - never mind 🙂 (admit tingly I haven't read all your comments, yet 🙂).
So helpful.. thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
U r such a great talent guitarist but ur coment box is empty ya not more then comments how is possible to any one can enjoy and dropping any comments on ur box
I appreciate your kindness, and the kind support :)
Love uuu please. Can u change ur brain or beautiful finger for me
I still wish you’d run a huge discount on your program…50% off…even for one day for those who can’t afford it…your videos are great.
I've been waiting for someone to do this. Kids need hobbies that dont cost money to learn. Thanks.
You teach well among other guitarist...thank you so much triple thumbs up 👍👍👍 to you
My pleasure!
Hahahaha😊😊😊😊
Good style but the short needs to be cut better. ❤❤
Hello! What pickup are you using? My guitar pickup doesnt give volume when I play with the left hand alone 😢
I mostly use K&K Pure Minis. The guitar in this video had a fishman matrix infinity and rare earth blend at the time of shooting. Both setups work fine, but the K&K sounds more natural
How can I learn from you?
Whats the name of that accesorie that you have on the sound hole?
That's a soundhole magnetic pickup
Bro you must get chance in Opera
Great. I would like to see closed position of this song for notice differences beetwen both method. Also I need a favor, please explain in video bass patterns (for 4/4, 6/8 etc.) - it sounds amazing but I have no idea how you make this background music. For me the most naked bass pattern is for D chord because it has only one string - the 4th D - and dunno how to make it more fascinating. Sorry for my English.
grate video!!! a request can you please make a video on Eros (Flamenco Version) by jin oki? i will be really grateful if you can make a video or can help me figure out the tabs and techniques thank you.
What guitar is this?
How long did it take you to be able to move with your left hand like that?
Cool, 😎🇮🇪
Nice mr.sir keep it up 💜
Lyrics: "Tonic, subdominant, dominant, and to subdominant dominant and now we are in this tonic function chord but this isn't our true tonic"
You actually inspire me so much to play !!! Thank you for your lovely lessons..
You just popped up in my algorithm for the first time. Valuable information and well presented, thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Happy to share my knowledge with you
Thanks for the lesson. Talking about sound produced, i've a question. When recording my self playing guitar i've noted an extra sound...cello type, i've noted that this happen when i play G and then Am. Is like an Em if im not wrong. How is this possible? (I can hear it only listening to records). Thank you.
Excuse me Neil, i've understand what happen. When i sing even mmm, without voice but at level of my chest (that is in contact my jumbo guitar) the lower frequency boost at a level that is very similar to a cello. It is a fantastic discovery for me, i can play virtually another instrument...can you confirm my hipothesis?
@@domenicosorrentino1972 It sounds like sympathetic vibrations at certain frequencies are causing your guitar to resonate and produce tones
@@schiba._. i think you're right. My guitar produce a lot of overtone.
Hi Domenico, it sounds like you've got a particular frequency that's resonating. I'm not an expert in this, but it sounds like you enjoy the sound. If you're not bothered then make music with it! If not, you might want to take your guitar to a reputable luthier to check out what's causing it.
You should also try playing the guitar in different environments. Some rooms have particular frequencies that resonate a lot. Just to make sure it's not the room causing this phenomenon.
Thank you for ❤❤❤❤ sharing and caring especially fir beginners
It's my pleasure to help eager learners like yourself!
thx Chan, this video had inspired me more to keep learning fingerstyle 🤩
Happy to hear that! Keep up the great work :)
It’s better everyone would understand from this
