Which signature Strat is this? I like the big headstock and 2 point trem.
Thank you!
o man i needed this
Cool thanks
Whenever someone talks about this method they only every tell about the 1st, 4th, 5th, and 6th chords. Whats about the others?
Great lesson. I try to watch the lead guitar player at church to see what he's playing. This lesson is so valuable.
Nice Video you bringing me new ideas
Did you mean to release this WITH the amp turned down OR the guitar volume turned down? If this was the goal why not unplug the guitar in the video. I cannot HEAR the guitar chord sound. I finally heard them when you demo'ed the pedal sounds but then the guitar sound went away again.
This was an Excellent Tutorial. I do wish you would have at the end run through about 40 or 50 seconds of it actually playing through an amp so i could play along an make sure i was playing the right chords with you.
Maybe you should pray for an amp.
Looks like Kane but with hair
yea but why cant I hear your amp?
Thank you!
What about Nashville tuning?
Having all your lower strings one octave higher.
G5
Loved to hear someone explain this approach. I felt like I was the only one using it.
However, I have ran into the opposite problem. Now I play everything in these high octave chords to the point I feel I am stuck in them.
Any advice for me?
Great stuff Brother!!! It’s so simple that I can even do it! Thank you!!!
Use bar cords and play anywhere on the neck you want with ease! I am a rhythm player in a group, no offense!????
Is it my speakers or did you forget to turn your guitar or amp on?
Needed this video! Thank you!
Need more of this type of tutorials. thanks Brian
This is really helpful. I just don't get why that Strat was even plugged in.
Did you forget to turn the amp on? Difficult to hear the clarity of each chord on what is the essentially the 'acoustic' sound of the electric.
super helpful tutorial.
please a tutorial on improvising solo on spontaneous or prophetic worship, what is the approach as an electric guitar player??
God bless you Guys for the amazing content. shout out from Cameroon Africa
Note to every guitar player on earth —> Learn “triads” and “inversions!” It unlocks everything in a very musical way. Have fun ????????
Terrific stuff
It's very nice. Is it wrong if I play the chords like I play in the acoustic guitar, without the distortion, clean guitar, you know?
ice tutorial but just a little bit of volume would go down well.
Thank you so much. This is what I've been oogling over from our lead player.
OK I was already subscribed, but I do want more contact like this, so I hit thumbs up and I am leaving this comment. I’m even going to share it. Thank you.
Did you forget to turn up the guitar in the final mix?
Does it work for minors and majors
