Dialogue: 0,0:00:05.03,0:00:06.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hey! How ya doing?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:06.10,0:00:08.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Justin here with another quick tip for you,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:08.30,0:00:11.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and today it is practice breaking strings.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:11.18,0:00:14.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, I don't mean actually to practice breaking your strings
Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.21,0:00:15.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cuz that would be kinda crazy,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.34,0:00:17.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but breaking strings is kind of inevitable.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.94,0:00:20.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's gonna happen if you're out playing gigs and stuff.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.81,0:00:23.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sooner or later you're gonna bust a string on stage, it happens.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.50,0:00:27.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Even often times I've restrung a guitar just before a show,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.58,0:00:29.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I've still managed to snap a string.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.30,0:00:31.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Perhaps I've been getting into it particularly hard one day and it,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.59,0:00:33.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you know, one of the strings popped.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.87,0:00:37.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, what I would recommend is that you kind of get ready for the emergency,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.97,0:00:43.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and practice it a bit beforehand so you're not into a complete panic when it happens to you on stage.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.18,0:00:47.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, the way I used to practice it was to imagine a string had broken.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.10,0:00:50.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you wanted to, you could actually take different strings off.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.60,0:00:54.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That wouldn't be a bad plan cuz it does feel a little different when there's a string gone,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.76,0:00:56.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,actually taken off the guitar.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.12,0:00:58.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It kinda feels weird, but you don't have to go that far.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.88,0:01:01.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The thing that I'd recommend that you practice,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.73,0:01:04.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's kinda fun as well, it'll help you explore the instrument,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.37,0:01:07.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is just to pretend a string is missing.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.48,0:01:11.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, put on a backing track for 12 bar blues and do a 12 bar blues solo,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.47,0:01:13.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but don't touch the second string.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.31,0:01:20.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's really interesting what happens, cuz so many of our licks go over that second string,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.41,0:01:20.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Right?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.98,0:01:21.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's loads of them.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.92,0:01:24.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All of your position changing stuff
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.32,0:01:26.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Loads of things are involved around that
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.53,0:01:28.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So suddenly when you take it away,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.10,0:01:29.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or you can't use it,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.64,0:01:32.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all of, well most of your licks don't work.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.49,0:01:34.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you have to kind of find new licks,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.12,0:01:35.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that can be kind of cool,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.97,0:01:39.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cuz it forces you to explore things in a slightly different way.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.76,0:01:43.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now if you're a real beginner, it's just gonna be kinda be difficult right?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.22,0:01:44.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Cuz you won't have enough vocabulary,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.64,0:01:47.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,enough licks to try and kind of get your way around.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.27,0:01:49.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But if you're able to do a solo, you know,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.34,0:01:51.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you've got a little bit of vocabulary with your licks and stuff,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.56,0:01:53.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's a really, really fun exercise.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.90,0:01:56.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You think about just the minor pentatonic scale,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.94,0:02:03.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,suddenly you've got that gap
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.50,0:02:07.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where you're not gonna play that second string.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.25,0:02:08.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So all of like,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.51,0:02:11.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can't do those licks anymore.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.63,0:02:12.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It would be,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.03,0:02:16.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cuz all of the second string's gone.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.78,0:02:18.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it'll really make you explore.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.15,0:02:20.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One of the things that's kinda interesting is
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.29,0:02:23.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to think along the strings instead of up and down.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.59,0:02:25.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Most people think in terms of positions.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.97,0:02:27.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But if you've got a kind of a groove,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.11,0:02:30.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you could,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.86,0:02:42.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That was all just the thinner string.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.55,0:02:44.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, trying to avoid the second string
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.62,0:02:46.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,meant that I just stayed on the 1 string.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.76,0:02:48.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Which is really good cuz you're kind of exploring it.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.26,0:02:52.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I would never have played that particular line
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.26,0:02:54.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,had I had access to the second string.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.59,0:02:56.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Just because my fingers wouldn't have done that.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.82,0:02:59.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I've just found a new little thing.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.10,0:03:01.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And also, when you skip a string,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.09,0:03:02.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it sounds pretty interesting,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.62,0:03:04.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,particularly in blues. It's kinda more common
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.88,0:03:07.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to do string skippy stuff in rock and metal.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.04,0:03:09.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But in a blues context,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.44,0:03:18.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's just a different kind of flavor that you get
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.45,0:03:20.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when suddenly the second string's taken away.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.92,0:03:23.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's really weird, but it's a great experience
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.75,0:03:25.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and a really good learning curve
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.00,0:03:26.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cuz it is gonna happen sooner or later in your
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.84,0:03:28.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,guitar playing life you're gonna bust a string.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.92,0:03:31.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, much better to be prepare a little bit,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.68,0:03:33.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm not saying you practice this all the time,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.22,0:03:35.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just as a fun thing, you know, you're in a bit of a rut,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.67,0:03:36.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not sure what to practice,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.50,0:03:39.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this is the kind of thing that can open up a few doors,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.18,0:03:40.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,make you think just a little bit more different.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.23,0:03:43.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"More different," terrible English.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.44,0:03:46.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If anyone's learning English, forget that phrase.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.37,0:03:47.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's just really bad.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.52,0:03:50.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can see things differently is what I meant to say.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.90,0:03:54.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it's a really cool, fun thing you know.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.31,0:03:55.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, go off and have an explore.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.87,0:03:58.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Either take the string off or just ban one string
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.67,0:04:00.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from a particular improvisation.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.52,0:04:03.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Second string's kind of one of the hardest ones actually,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.41,0:04:05.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it's a good one to start off with just because
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.73,0:04:06.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it'll teach you straight away.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.91,0:04:08.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thinner string is a bit weird
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.29,0:04:10.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because a lot of guys rely on the thinner string
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.00,0:04:12.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for moving around, and the thick strings,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.94,0:04:15.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for your chord playing, could be interesting too.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.00,0:04:17.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Go off and have a check out of that idea,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.28,0:04:19.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I'll see you for many more quick tips and lessons
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.75,0:04:20.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and stuff very soon.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.93,0:04:22.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Take care of yourselves, bye bye.
