A little about me:

Sean Daniel is a man. A man of simple needs and desires. And the one desire, no, the one NEED, that stands above all is to spread the challenges, joy and intellectual stimulus of music to people of Earth and beyond.
Born on the mean streets of upper middle class suburban Chicago, Sean learned the ways of the world through the dizzying heights of success to the lonesome depths of failure and emerged with the promise of a better tomorrow reflecting in his eyes and fiery passion in his belly.
He plays and teaches guitar on his YouTube channel where he regularly releases original music and projects to the adulation of legions of fans, who often compare him to Chris Pratt and one time Ryan Reynolds. He’s currently in the market for a nice leather jacket.

  1. I"m late to the party on this one but if I had to replace someone in Zeppelin I'd personally replace Robert Plant with Janis Joplin if I had to replace a member. Jonesy was a multi-instrumentalist so his value to the band was beyond just a bass player and a lot of their studio magic can be attributed to him. Plus imagine Janis singing in Led Zeppelin!

  20. Said I'd report back on the Samantha Fish show. Great show, quaint venue the Old Rock House in St. Louis, stood about 10 foot from the stage/right (so I could watch her fretting hand of course) and that got to be a few decibels too much by the end but overall really impressed with her vocals and of course soloing. I would recommend to anyone. Peace

  24. THAT TRUTHER IS BULLSHIT FUCK THEM HALF SAXON BITCHES, we fought till we were actually free, Scots voted to remain England's bitch…all jokes aside our music is quite distinct from Scotland and if anything stuff like hornpipes actually came from england (small e always)

  32. As a bass player, you KNOW I've got to comment! Really? ….. Really? …… Oh, Really? ….. Really?
    The drummer's got to be the first one to go!!! Gotta be!!!

    But, I get what you're sayin' 😉 lol I'M certainly replaceable. But, you replace John Entwistle or Chris Squire…you have a completely different band there.

    😉

  37. Question: Some of my friends hear a song and straight up say the key of a song without even mapping it out on to any instrument like keyboard or a guitar. They say that you'll eventually feel it some day. I've been playing for a year now and i can't even recognise a C major chord if someone strums on a guitar. So do you personally have such perception in recognising key and chords of a song or use theory, instruments and chord charts to get it?

  38. Hey Sean, I love playing my guitar but am not very good at it. SO MANY great players on YouTube that my ego suffers sometimes. Would watch lessor players than myself, but they all suck even more than I do. What to do?

  39. If I was a llama I'd never spit at any of those Irish posers, the gall to steal all that music from the Scots. You do however have to admire the tenacity of at least trying to get something from the spuds and peat. On a side note you wouldn't get all of the Zep songs without JP Jones BECAUSE….. he came up with the Black Dog riff. By the way is that in 4/4 time? Cause it always felt like a different time signature

  42. Hey Sean, Popped up with another question. Can u explain about Chord Quality. I mean the very idea behind altered chords are altering notes(5th, 9th, 11th, 13th) without changing the chord quality. Whereas altering the 3rd will affect the chord quality. What is this chord quality?? How to find out whether its changing or not??

    That was a joke, Sean
