A little about me:
Sean Daniel is a man. A man of simple needs and desires. And the one desire, no, the one NEED, that stands above all is to spread the challenges, joy and intellectual stimulus of music to people of Earth and beyond.
Born on the mean streets of upper middle class suburban Chicago, Sean learned the ways of the world through the dizzying heights of success to the lonesome depths of failure and emerged with the promise of a better tomorrow reflecting in his eyes and fiery passion in his belly.
He plays and teaches guitar on his YouTube channel where he regularly releases original music and projects to the adulation of legions of fans, who often compare him to Chris Pratt and one time Ryan Reynolds. He’s currently in the market for a nice leather jacket.

  • Sean – I have a Big Baby Taylor and a Martin MMV. Love the size of the Taylor and the sound of the Martin, but if I had to pick my fav, it's the Taylor. I've gotten connected to the smaller body, and really like the size of your Gibson. (and your lessons by the way(: )

  • Could you do me a favor and do a video of John Lennon's lead playing on "Get Back" rooftop performance? I'm hoping for a dive into playing it and theory .

  • Can someone help me understand how to play my guitar through my computer speakers/headphones with active EQ's?

    I use reaper and I have a scarlet audio Interface. All I've ever been able to do was listen to my applied EQ's AFTER I record through a clean tone. How do have active effects AS IM RECORDING PLAYED BACK TO ME?

  • I just spent the last 4 hours on this excellent lesson. Great jazzy sounds now coming from my guitar that I never knew were in there. A whole new concept has opened up to me. Thanks Sean.

  • outside if the context of all the other extended jazzy chords, that em9 sounds SUPER emo like Thrice or Thursday

  • Lot of new fingerings and heavy lifting ahead for me with these chords. Much like trying to break into The Hallmark world. Hold the vision and I'll try and hold the chords.

  • Hey Sean, great lesson as always. It would be helpful for a chord sheet. Sometimes it takes me a moment to follow the chords you show. It hurts my brain cell to understand them at first but then my blacklight goes off and I see what you're doing. Maybe just a cheat sheet for us slower students? Anyway, thanks for this as always. Peace, Just Sam

  • Thank you for making this, I know I asked the other day. And thank you a bunch for exploring extensions and different voicing, that’s really what I’m looking for! You’re the best!

  • I don’t get it, Sean. I worked at Hallmark for years, and I think you’d be a perfect leading man.
    And thx for the chords. You’re a fun teacher.

  • Good timing. This lesson fits with things I've been working on lately and adds the tip about all the notes 2 & 4 frets above the root being fair game. Thanks!
    Btw, I'd like to hear you use that guitar creatively. Imo the walnut/spruce combo produces a really sweet sound that's music to my ears and is very different from what we're used to, which is why I bought a Dowina Chardonnay GA when the last thing I needed was another guitar. But so far what I've heard on your new Gibson sounds a bit thin and lightweight, partly because of the size and newness I'm sure, and I'm curious to know how you plan to use it and to hear what it can do.

  • not sure if you like the martin retro's but I'd bet they would make that guitar sound amazing…(edit: More amazing than it is!).

  • Another great lesson. Sliding up from major to minor. Landing on the root after playing the 5th and 7th fret. You are the boss. You are the best. You are a champ. GOAT.

  • Love these chords. They feel like a huge step up from the basic "cowboy chords", yet aren't very hard to play at all. Good suff!
