Beginner Acoustic Guitar Part 1

[thecoloradanempire]

Question: Do I have to be specifically Australian to learn from you? Or is the fact our countries have both start and end in A close enough?

[foreverblueskies]

I knew this was the best way to start the accoustic guitar the moment he showed me bird @ .26 seconds into the program.

[starfoxfan123]

[iSingLikeChocolate]

[mkrulz77]

im thinking about learning some acoustic guitar skills, good tips.

[koripley]

He is incorrect C.F. Martin is a US guitar manufacturer headquartered in Nazareth, Pennsylvania.

[pickleweasel0]

@koripley he didn't say martin, he said Maton, which happens to be an australian brand. im assuming you're talking about the video anyway

[theworldofguitars]

[MelindaGibbsCBS]

That's just how some people point. There are some of my teachers that when they point to things on the board, they point with their middle fingers. Unless it's intentional, don't say they are when they aren't please!

[chimeran3]

[deathbforgot]

[attoutatouta]

He may want to spell it "Gnufükhäznat", it's not your business, you got the point.. =)

PS: is the Knat like the insect "model" we use for fishing??

[LefteriPotter]

LOL what a conversation :P btw thx dude

[brecre]

I`ve had my guitar for 3 years, but It was to hard to learn and to hard on the fingers. (I`m 13 now) So I quit trying to teach myself. I might try and take it up again though.

[hawtielovesemo]

im tryin to learn elctric (wanna play rock and metal) but first i gotta get one...i have an acoustic and i still gotta learn that one :)

[NoobsGetOwned4Life]

[foodyunmyV2]

question,I got an think like in video. But once I learn how play this one can I move on to electric guitar?

[ScienceBoyJAC]

yha sure, i say learn the acoustic first tho

[Elwuerro]

electric guitars are almost da same thing only wit alot of da chords you have to strum specific notes. Plus there is a ton more frets on an electric guitar.

[Coogg1376]

M00000OOOOOOOOOOoooooooo!

[milkyturtlecowz]

dude your awesome

[TheHackersGambit]

PLEASE ANSWER:

Which guitar is better the one with a cutaway or full?

[MrDeverill]

full is better for classical but it makes like no diff

[Trigunxox777]

i personally like cutaway because it pisses me off when i have to reach for the strings

[BlaQNeenjah]

cut away is an acoustic with part cut out so  you can reach the higher frets for higher noises and solos and most lead guitar. full body is the "normal" acoustic guitar

[roxehy]

haha love the accent

[blsflignorance]

I want your shirt...

[Phobelia]

lol and i was focusing on the tshirt instead of the teaching lol .... thats nice upselling hahaha

[deanmig08]

save a cow

[brendanbwb]

where can a buy a guitar m8.

[TheHackersGambit]

Music stores obviously, but some common stores also have'em

[DontTouchYourself]

Pawn shops have them too, but a lot of the time they're damaged.

[Shainingu]

Also, that special tool is an Allen Wrench (I watched my dad set the neck of his guitar)

[Shainingu]

Thx, I'mma watch all your vids ^^

[QueenCC12]

I love this guy!!!

G'Day Mate! :o)

[skigal95]

Is a viola at all similar to a acoustic guitar, or is it a completley different instrument?

[EfeandXiaozhi]

completely different

[wweSVRgames]

yea is whole fucking different

[animegirlone]

thanks for explainin the guitar, I ahd no idea what anything was x.x also nice lesson THX xD

[HM26Productions]

Im a newbie myself ..any opinions on the Aria as being a decent/good guitar?

[badbbb234]

whats the differences between acoustic and classical?

[jollywood999]

I think classical is the type of music and acoustic is the type of guitar

[Gryzor95]

Basically, you get two types of guitars: folk (also known as regular acoustic) and classical. Folk guitars have steel strings which hurt a lot more on your fingers, but they make a louder, slightly metallic sound. Classical guitars have nylon strings which hurt less, but make a more sweet and gentle sound, which isn't as loud, and also they have a thicker neck. Folk guitars are good for training your fingers to play electric guitar (which is also steel stringed, just at lower tension).

[FarhanBrohan]

Aye!

[DarkSunshineRain]

Okay dude, we know what a guitar is...get to the playing!

[whoiszizou]

lol niceone i agree

[Morkai2010]

[Kuhy373]

[geetar01]

Sure, Electric is basically the same. Especially when starting out.

[Ginasart]

[qsceszxdwa]

acoustic build strength faster (or not depending on how tight you tune it) and are thicker so you build smooth callouses in stead of sharp painful ones.

[Spielbergsp]

Save a cow. Eat a vegetarian. :)

Thanks for the vid :)

[kelcieretha7]

I just ordered a hot pink guitar last night and i am soo excited to get it!

[herFLYness79]

[herFLYness79]

cool i've been havin my eye on a purple ibenez electric-acoustic for a moment now. i hope i can get it soon.

thanks and have fun when you get your guitar! :D

[kelcieretha7]

Thanks... these lessons are really good! I love them... i don't even have a guitar and i have never played one and i already know how to play the scale!

[herFLYness79]

cool. i need to watch it a few more times...hehe

[kelcieretha7]

Yeah same here. But this guy is a genius, he teaches amazing lessons!

[liquidlover83]

dude i've been playing for 12 years and i have never heard anyone explain the guitar as well as you do...you're not at All over people heads...you don't overload your lessons with stuff begginers can't possibly understand yet...your lessons are very easy to understand...you my friend...ROCK!

[pielordmitch]

I have a gibson epiphone is this a good beginner guitar plz post back :)

[SEMARA2]

yeah it is...i used it when i just started...keep using it till you get better

[ambecke]

yea electrics are a bunch easier to play, i started with an excel electric and now i have an epiphone standard on a marshall amp. i still have fun playin it but i think i'm gonna learn some acoustic.

[borax2]

COOL TALKING....I LIKED YOUR VOICE XD

[throwmetothesky]

start with an acoustic

[dominator68]

Beauty Newk

[supermburu]

Hmm... i just talked to this guy from Guitar Center, and he said that electric guitars are better for beginners. But I really like these videos so now im not sure which one to get.

[geetar01]

Get an electric. They are heaps easier to play.

[Bimm3rcc]

with coustic you dont have to worry technically, and its cheaper. Im not 100% sure if im "in" to guitars, so im borrowing my sisters old acoustic guitar learning the basic etc. then going on to electric if i feel like it...

[s3dward]

thanks so much, im just learning how to play the acoustic guitar, and this helps. Is it similar to the electric?

[Leaventh]

Hey man thanks a lot for those vids! You rock!

[Rekushell]

Instead of eating the Cow you would eat the vegetarian, Duh.

[arete128]
