Intermediate Guitar

In this video, we look at the finished product after 1 hour of work, deburring the string holes, and adding a small radius to edges. But bear in mind, thats 1 hour, just on the tuning peg deburr, after the tuners are already removed fr the guitar. And that doesnt include the time it would take to put it all back together too. So, let’s say you break a string, and inspect your peg hole, and see a burr, realistically how long is it going to take to do the job? You could just do one peg hole, since its usually just one peg that really needs it, but i do all 6 every time. This is the first time i did this deburr job with the pegs removed from the guitar, which enabled me to handle the pegs with much more dexterity, than if they were still in the guitar. WARNING: DO NOT USE POWER TOOLS

In this video, we inspect the guitar tuning peg string holes for burrs, and use a small diamond tipped point to debur the holes. If your guitar is breaking strings, its probably because of these burrs on your string holes. Whenever you break a string, make a note of where the string actually broke. If it broke on the tuning peg end, its probably these burrs. If the string broke by the bridge, maybe theres a burr on the bridge / saddle

In this video, we look at whats underneath the pickguard of a Fender Squire Bullet build date Oct 2003. What we find is lots of debris, that has worked its way under the pickguard, But also theres usually a bunch of wood shavings trapped in there from when the guitar was built and the screw holes were made. Ill be checking the fit of every screw in every hole before it goes back together, in case i need to do any hole repairs for stripped out holes etc.

#GuitarLessons #IntermediateGuitar #Guitar #MinorPentatonic #Aminor #Scale #Minor3rd The A minor pentatonic, in the 5th hand position, is illustrated here, but the concepts can be applied everywhere else. If you are like some guitar students, you were taught to do the minor pentatonic with 2 notes per string. LowE5-8, A5-7, D5-7, G5-7, B5-8, HighE5-8 This works pretty good for coordinating “the count” with the up-pick and down-pick, and the balanced feel of fretting each string twice before moving to the next string. However, a problem with doing the minor pentatonic this way is that you end (resolve) on a minor 3rd instead of ending (resolving) on a root note. So while that high minor 3rd is technically part of the minor pentatonic scale, you probably don’t want to end your scale on that note. To play this scale “more correctly” (in my opinion), and to resolve on the root note, simply do not play the very last note of the scale. (HighE8) However when you don’t play that last note, the scale winds up having an odd number of notes, which can mess up your picking patterns, and doesn’t sound quite right. So to solve this problem, simply break this two octave scale into its two respective octaves. Then, start the scale as you normally would, on the lowest A note (LowE5), and end on the middle A note (D7). Play the middle A note TWICE. The first time resolves the lower part of the scale, and the second time starts the higher part of the scale. Plus, by playing the middle A twice, it emphasizes that you are playing an A scale. On the way back down the scale, just reverse everything, but instead of starting on the high minor 3rd (HighE8, above the root!) as you probably have been doing, start on the high A (HighE5), and walk down to the middle root A (D7) and play that root note twice, before moving on down and resolving on the low A (LowE5) Guitar Rote Exercises https://rumble.com/c/c-462327 Beginner Guitar https://rumble.com/c/BeginnerGuitar Intermediate Guitar https://rumble.com/c/c-433397
