  • @illucid1982 Some people think relaxed playing means flimsy picking.Its as far from the truth as possible.They also think they already playing relaxed cause they are used to the tension so much that it feels…natural to them.The truth is that only the weight of your fingers is sufficient to produce good tone…no trying to..death grip the fretboard.Relaxed picking mainly from the wrist without achoring your pinky is generally a winning formula for anyone who wants to play fast and relaxed.

  • @nmon1 did u get an answer on that cuz music snobs alway try to make me feel like shyt for not knowing what mode to tell my players to play in but when he/she figures it out they play allover the guitar or whatever intrument anyhow and still called it respective soloing in whateevr particular mode, yet its being played over the whole guitar i dont get it

  • I'm still working on it myself but I'm pretty sure that yes he is. All modes are is using the same notes but starting from a different position. For example if you're in the key of C and you want to play G mixolydian (because G is the 5th, and the 5th mode). you would play the G major scale starting from the G but flatting the 7th of that scale, thus keeping all of the notes of the C major scale. My friend told me that it is basically just a way to familiarize yourself with the fretboard.

  • WOW! Thanks man! o/

    Seriously, you helped me a lot!

    I learned the modes a while ago, but all of them as single patterns.
    And with this video, things just …… *ding* It all made sense to me.

    I leveled up, on guitar skill lol

    Thank you, thank you =)
    Peace
