hey sage, picked up acoustic 4 or 5 yrs ago. did the self taught route and all the bad technics, like not using a pick. i remember watghing you teach ain't talkin bout love by van halen, never saw anyone show how to use whammy like that before, and on an sg…so now I've got a Wolfgang wg standard guitar and evh 5150 40 watt amp, had to order some evh pedals and waiting…meanwhile i got your free lessons online and will be joining your pro series, i think that's what it was called soon…just wanted you to know i really enjoy your lessons…working on the alternate picking today,trying to purge these bad technics, by the way i'm 60 yrs young and loving it, thanks.
Ah the Sage strikes again with more nuggets of wisdom appreciated sir ????
Very cool, thanks
Good man yourself Eric, you covered a ton of music theory there.
As a teacher i only mention the caged system as these chords C..A..G..E..D are five essential chords for beginners to master.
For me the biggest and most important thing is 1—4—5–(6)
I wish I had been taught this 40 years ago when I started. Tab wasn't even around yet. ???? All beginners should learn the notes and then learn these hacks.
Perhaps add , checking tuning by octaves and harmonics for fine tuning balance ?
I kinda learned "adjacent trick" differently…call it the "2 down, 2 right trick" or a version of octave hopping…goes to 2 down 3 right trick with the silly string like 5th fret tuning lol
Thanks to "my sharona" for me learning funny lol
Sometimes struggling thru unconventional learning methods helps better grasp basics, such as fretboard memorization, harmonics vs pentatonic, and unconventional chord voicings
Great video. My favorite part though is you didn’t bury the lede.
Great lesson, very informative
Thanks, great tips and information! FYI:This information is not a hack. A hack is using something in a way that it's not designed for. ????
