Support 12tone on Patreon to see my next video right now! https://www.patreon.com/12tonevideos More than any other genre, emo music, along with its close cousin pop-punk, captured the bizarre, directionless angst of adolescence in the early 21st century. Stuck in the shadow of global events we were too young to really understand, with new information technologies exploding our social networks, a stage of life that has always been confusing and disorienting was made even more so by the unique circumstances of the era. Emo spoke to that confusion in a unique way, making sense of the senselessness by embracing the duality of teenagehood, where everything is so important but nothing really matters, and that ethos can be found not just in its lyrics, but in its rhythms as well. Let's talk about half-time.

A laid-back groove isnāt about bad timingāitās about controlled timing. ā±ļø Play slightly behind the beat, stay consistent, and the feel gets instantly cooler. š”Rush the beat? Sounds tense. Sit just after it? Thatās the magic. Timing isnāt just accuracy⦠itās feel. š š Subscribe for more guitar tips and insights! āļø

Music isnāt just notesāitās emotion in motion. š” Those tiny shifts in timing, dynamics, and feel carry what words sometimes canāt. When we truly feel something, it finds its way into the music⦠and thatās what people connect with. šĀ If we want people to feel our playing, we have to feel it first. š Subscribe for more quick tips and guitar insights! :)

Ever wondered how to mix little lead lines into your rhythm playing without overcomplicating things? š§ In this video, we explore one of the simplest and most musical ways to do it: intervals of 6ths. Theyāre easy to see on the fretboard, easy to move around, and perfect for adding melodic movement while keeping the groove strong. We start from a basic G chord, learn how 6ths are formed, and move the shape through different positions so you can instantly make your rhythm playing more expressive. Youāll also see how to pick them cleanly using a pick and fingers, and how to practice them in time with simple rhythms. Small idea. Big musical payoff! š Follow to find more bite-sized lessons and hundreds of free guitar tutorials! Have fun exploringāand happy playing! š¶

Ever wondered what the bass, middle, and treble knobs actually do on your amp? š§ If youāve ever turned knobs randomly hoping your tone improves⦠youāre not alone. In this lesson, we'll learn how tone controls really workāso we can shape our sound with confidence instead of guessing. We explore what frequency means (in simple terms), how EQ shapes your guitar sound, and how to use tone controls on amps, pedals, and your guitar to get clearer, better toneāwithout buying new gear. If you want your sound to be less muddy, less harsh, and more balanced⦠this will really help. š Get first access to the upcoming lessons in Justin's Guitar Tone Quest: https://mailchi.mp/justinguitar/tone-quest š Learn to play with me!

There are actually two main strumming motions on the guitarāand each one works best in different situations. For slower, general strumming, a relaxed forearm motion gives control and accuracy. But when the tempo goes up, many players naturally switch to more wrist movement, which makes fast strumming easierābut less precise. In this lesson, we look at: ā When forearm strumming works best ā When wrist strumming makes things easier ā Why neither is ābetterāājust different ā How combining both motions gives you speed and control š” Understanding how and when to use each motion can make your strumming feel smoother, more relaxed, and much more musical. š Grab the full course for free here: https://www.justinguitar.com/guitar-lessons/framing-the-double-strumming-technique-bg-2104?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=double_strumming

Alternate picking gets way easier when the pick stops catching. š A small change in pick angle helps the pick glide over the strings rather than fight them. Try adding just a little angleāand think in and out, not only up and down. Tiny adjustment now = smoother picking later šø Get the full, free JustinGuitar Beginner Course: https://mailchi.mp/justinguitar/beginner

Most beginners are scared of barre chordsābut trying them early isnāt a bad thing. ā You donāt need to master barre chords yet. ā You just need to feel whatās involved. Sometimes theyāre easier than expected (especially with bigger hands). And if theyāre hard, thatās not failureāit shows exactly what to work on next: ⢠hand strength ⢠thumb position ⢠power chords ⢠knowing the notes on the low strings š Trying āhard stuffā reveals the path forward. šø Learn to play with me š https://www.justinguitar.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=shorts&utm_campaign=barre_chords_beginners

Most songs donāt use a single strumming pattern. Great rhythm playing is about dynamicsāknowing when to be quiet, when to build, and when to let the chorus lift. š„± If we strum the same way all the way through, things can get monotonous fast. š¤ ā The better question isnāt "whatās the strumming pattern for this song?" ā Itās: whatās the strumming pattern for this section? If you want to really get comfortable with thisāand build rock-solid rhythm that works for real songsācheck out Strumming SOS. š https://www.justinguitar.com/store/strumming-sos?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=shorts&utm_campaign=strumming-sos&utm_content=dynamics_no_single_pattern

Thumb or pick: which team are you on? š§ Strumming with your thumb changes everything. šøĀ Downstrokes with the thumb give a rounder, fuller sound, way less bright than a pick. That can be gold⦠especially when brightness isnāt what the song needs. The big thing to watch? Thumb angle. šĀ If it hooks under the strings, things get awkward fast. Keep the thumb slightly angled so it glides instead of catching. ā¶ļø No rules - just awareness. Explore the feel, listen to the tone, and find what works for you. š Strumming SOS: fix your rhythm guitar starting from the very basics: https://www.justinguitar.com/store/strumming-sos?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=shorts&utm_campaign=strumming_sos&utm_content=thumb_strumming

Strumming with a pick often feels awkward at first. Thatās just part of learning. š A very thin pick and an ultra-light grip make strumming smoother and more forgiving while we build control.
