Some people (like me) can get very confused when it comes to learning by the rules… I learn by the sound and practice according to that, doesnt mean this guy wasnt very helpful, after a while you will understand what hes talking about as you keep at it as these are the very basics.
As @WeGotTrophies and @BecauseICheat said it takes a lot of patience and most importantly understanding what ur doing and practice it.
excellent work! Thank you so much
@BecauselCheat’s got a point! It’s takes a lot of patience! Just have fun and enjoy it! If you think you’re going to be a pro in one day, guess again!
I think it helps a lot if you have prior music knowledge. Cuz I didn’t think it was hard.
umm…wow…thats all i can say…
@atlbrotha75 you should use your nails, your fingertips is the reason of that pluck sound

@fasteddie847
haha exact same thing with me! what a leap in difficulty!
you know fuck this there are other video that can do a better job at teaching i cant believe i wasted my time watching this………………..
it’s a good thing i took piano!
after 2.38 i am not getting wht those sign actually mean? open or E, F, G etc even it looks different (inverted) frm previous video. the guy didnt say anything about fingers? any pro out there? really need help
@backlikevertabrae haha me too
really nice he takes his time for all that
but u guys don’t seem to get that it just takes its time^^
so watch it over again till you get what he’s doing
maybe even write down the notes
and then play it with your speed
play it correctly don’t try to be fast
when u get correct sounds + they’re correct, try to speed up a bit
and yeah, ur sound have to be correct first, don’t speed up until u got them
in the end just have fun
when u can play your first song it feels like “wooohooo” ;D
@atlbrotha75 I think pluck is right….Hmm (pluck and strum..pluck and strum..pluck and strum..It’s gonna make me sick)
i was doing well untill he started playing… slow down champ
I am having trouble with the frets. When I hold the string down I get no sound..well I get a pluck sound. Is that what I should hear? Pluck or strum? Agggggggghhhhhh

started playing guitar after breaking my ankle twice from Motocross racing =(
your lessons really helped thanks mate!

tnx 4 this video…im a beginner…im 16 yrs old…never too late to learn guitar…
Thanks so much for these videos, trying to juggle high school, driving, and guitar is hard but this helps immensely with the guitar part as I haven’t been able to find any guides that really start with the basics and almost gave up on the guitar all together til I found your videos. Thankyou!
nice double cutaway guitar im getting one today
@LABray1975 I’m glad to see you are excited about learning the guitar, keep it up! Just practice every day and you’ll start improving quickly, the secret to becoming good is practice.
Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. I have a 78 Les Paul and just now learning how to play. I got new strings and tubes for my amp and I am excited to learn how to play. Thanks for your time!
@TomFontana awsome thnxs!
very nice video… very helpfull .. exactly where i’m at now.. (your voice is pretty quiet on this vid though)
thanks
Yep, video number 5 teaching tuning.
do yooh have a video mentioning how to tunethe guitar?
My pleasure, glad I could help
I really appreciate these videos. I’ve known most of the basic chords for a while, but no one has been able to explain F major as well as you have. Thanks!
Hi i have found a easy way to learn Guitar
Guitarstut(.)com
@nightwishfinland
It’s like any other leason but with video you can pause, practice, take notes, and practice what he shows I’m finding these videos pretty useful. You can pick up black tab books at most music stores for pretty cheap and the one I have has perferated pages so I can rip them out and make copies.
iscavlee gitaraaaaa qalooooooooo
You seem like a very nice guy, but don’t you think this is a lot to cover in ONE lesson? Too much, too soon makes students feel overwhelmed. Like myself…. Why not learn three chords and some songs with those?
I do thank you for your lessons, I just need to get the hang of three chords before moving on.
peace….
