another free chord and fretboard primer / lesson (with a poll)

[bryanewald]

I did a supplemental video to go along with the live masterclasses I taught for the PRS music School this week. Feel free to have a gander if you want a quick primer (not a complete lesson) on understanding chord names and how they relate to the guitar fretboard (with a link to PDFs in the video description).

Also, I am curious to get some input on something...

Looks like so far everyone else's ideas are the same as mine. I kind of figured I'd be the only one wanting some BASIC theory and application......(that and my lack of fretbroard knowledge)

I voted fretboard demystification as I enjoyed your last video on finding the right scale for nearly any chord progression. That may also fit under general playing techniques but for me there is so much to decipher regarding the fretboard, scales, etc.

Great stuff as usual!
Thanks @bryanewald

Hmmmm.....I might like a link to that if you find it again.

I'd love to learn some new stuff!

I loved that one, BUT... I consider that application so I'd live more like that please.

 

[dmatthews]

Love it.
General technique and fretboard demystification were my picks.

Anything!

Thanks again for a killer lesson Mr. E! You really do a great job of communicating this stuff!!

Bryan, I cannot seem to access the link to the PDF files. Your info on this topic is one of the steps I need to progress further than the plateau that I'm now on.

Thanks, 'Dog - got them both. And thanks to Bryan for posting. I'm just a self-taught play-by-ear rhythm player, so it's about time I learn this.

Tried to apply your tips today, work very well; thank you, Bryan!

Totally agree with that line of thought. The day comes I quit learning, I'll be digging "up" through the roots to reach the air. Most everything I've done in life I start later it seems, so very often the learning curve is ripe with challenges. I'm constantly on the hunt for any and all means of improvement. Thanks for this Bryan!

In 45 years of playing guitar, I’ve never bothered to learn that. Now I know it! That was great, Bryan. Can’t thank you enough.

I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band...
In 50 years of playing guitar I know that I am a drummer. I used to be the drummer in bands.
I play rhythm... like a drummer.
It's a cr@p ton of fun though.
I'm a chord monkey with pipes.
