  • 'Like so' haha cute

  • титры в студию!

    

  • You can get paid a fair sum of money for consistantly uploading videos to Youtube, provided that your a partner. These tutorials are excellent and gain a lot of interest. A lot of interest means a lot of money.. Worth while. Plus there will always be someone who's willing to do it if you don't.

  • @3245james @3245james There is some truth in saying you can hit it however you want. However there are certainly 'ways' of hitting to get certain sounds and also movements which make sense depending on what else you are doing. On top of that these lessons work up to songs which I play using these techniques in the places demonstrated, it is possible to play the bass drum hit in many places but in the context of a song it won't 'flow' in some of them.

  • Sort of unnecessary explanation, all you had to say was slap the thing anywhere for different sounds, but thats me I dont know... Its just seeing so much effort put into something really not complex would set a learner back & destroy confidence, cause really theres no wrong way of doing it.

  • Mark Kroos has a song called, "Capo 4"

    And he's not happy with it either.

    I think all great musicians have 1 or 2 of those.

  • You are an amazing teacher, your awesome, Thank you!

  • everytime i see ur thumb, in the back of my mind im yelling" OMG HE BROKE HIS THUMB!" even though i kno ur double jointed lol

  • very difficult lesson 2 for me!! lesson 1 was great but this is too difficult to be lesson 2!

    thank you for sharing I'll keep practising lesson 1 for hours!!

  • You are damn good, you know that?? :D

  • hey dude its playing guitar not science, so chill a little :b

    (#_#)

  • alguem coloca uma legenda

  • Hi I'm looking at upgrading to a new acoustic and I'm very interested in learning this style of guitar properly! can anyone recommend a good make/model to look for?

    Cheers

  • Look up "Turn your guitar into a drumset" It's friggin nuts!!!!

  • I've often wondered if you knock hell out of your guitar its gonna break somewhere lol

  • Thank You SO Much, Dale! So many videos are clogged or overly self promotive. it is a real find that you take us through so many techniques. and these tutorials have sparked my curiousity about your personal music. Thanks for sharing insights! ! !

  • Yes- you are such a find! I've been searching for lessons on percussive guitar techniques, and by far this is the most clear, easy to understand, and extremely helpful series of tutorials on youtube. Thank you again Dale :D btw, your music is incredible and so original! amazing stuff, and I'm passing them on to friends! peace

  • Comment removed

  • can see you've been doing a lot of the 'snare' hits over the years, your acoustic is worn and well loved :) great video, thank you

  • Wow, That was awesome...by the way Still Training here and nice tutorials. I have been playing guitar for Chord strumming since when i was 13 yrs. old until now (I'm turning 15yrs. old) and wrote my own songs and got tired of it and wanted to try something new....Thanks for Everything....

    Oh And You look like the guy from Kick-Ass the guy in a green suit..

    Yeah...No offense though, you look cool...

  • really nice of you,thanks..

  • You are the most helpfull man about guitar teachers i have ever seen in youtube. YOU ARE AMAZING MAN THANK YOU SOOO MUCH ..!

  • As a music teacher (among many other things) I appreciate the way you explain things; I've been looking to get into this type of style of playing for a while now; expand my musical vocabulary so to speak. I'll be checking your vid's regularly I think.

    Also, if you haven't already, you should make a quick vid talking about some of the various methods you use to write pieces in this style.

    Catchya later

    ps: who/what artist influenced you most to get into this style of playing?

  • love the guitar

  • you speak too much guy

  • damn, this is pretty good

  • agree ...hahha

  • Gracias buena leccion amigo!

  • if you like percussive guitar and good songs check The Yuya

  • Should that slap harmonic on the 19th be just on the high e?

  • watch?v=ovpqrUGv9Ko

  • way to much desription

    may be me but its frustrating when he just keeps talking

  • Some of the clearest, easiest to understand lessons on percussive acoustic on the internet. Hats off Sir! Thanks for the useful lessons I'm sure they're going to help me get my head around learning.

  • Agreed. Start simple, progressive, great teacher all-round.

    Really looks like you're having fun with the guitar.

  • This is awesome!! Great lesson. I've got a Simon & Patrick SP6 with B-Band, Do you suggest I add further pickups? I really want a nice percussive sound! Thanks

  • I have a Tanglewood TW155ST with a B-Band in it. It does me fine for percussion right now. I think it's more about hand technique than the pickup, plus I don't wanna go fiddling with pickups anytime soon lol

  • these are great lessons dude, can u suggest a guitar for around £500 that is good for this kinda stuff and wont brake lol?

  • thanks so much, you're a brilliant teacher! :)

  • The harmonic at the 19th fret is slapped so your right hand 1st finger strikes the string over the metal of the fret. This creates the Harmonic node and also sets the string ringing - same as the slapped harmonic at the 12th, just at 19.

  • @DaleCampbellAcoustic Do you only hit the first string?

  • @DaleCampbellAcoustic hi there. i tried doing this but flicking my fingers is the hard part cos i'm left handed but i play right handed guitar. any advice?

  • @DaleCampbellAcoustic Thanks, this was a realy usefull comment!

  • at 8:17 you talk about the harmonic at the 19th fret. how is it that you do that? is it more or less your finger just striking the string at the 19th? or did i totally miss that part. id really like to know. thank you

  • You have to slap those harmonics hard.

  • you are such a find!!! thank-you for your amazing free tutorials - so generous of you. also, nice hair cut.

  • Thanks, You can also download them all from itunes. And thanks again I had just had a haircut : )

  • Cool... I've been kinda messing with this type of playing for years' ever since I saw Michael Hedges back in the early 90s' but I've been mostly an electric player in the Hendrix/Holdsworth mode with alotta 2 handed Stanley Jordan kinda stuff thrown in. I also sing and play all kinds of african drums and I recently bought an Alvarez AJ-60 jumbo after I re-discovered Dylan' so I'm trying to find away to blend it all together. Dale' you're video's help offer some insight in that direction. Thanks.

  • THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

  • Your amazing dude, how long have you been playing like this? Was also wondering if you could put up a lesson on how to play the Billie Jean arrangement you did?

  • juuuuussstttt  ammmaaaaazzziiinnnggggg

  • man u juat thaught me what i was looking for so long, im deeply grateful.

    cheers 5/5

  • sorry Dale comment wasn't directed at you mate but for anyone that isn't too familiar with their theory

  • E add 9 not sus2 if you retain the 3rd you aren't suspending it

  • Well aware of that : )

  • I love your vids bro. I hoep you make some more advanced ones sometime. I'm certainly going to purchase your CD. Your music is beautiful.

  • Thanks, Some more advanced ones are going up as we speak!

  • hey, just found your videos today, its about time some good percussive lessons are being made. your doing a top job. subscribed 5 stars

  • the finger flicking is so hard :(

  • Takes a bit of getting used to, got some more videos coming up with new riffs to help practice these techniques soon....

  • Nice stuff...spread knowledge...more videos

  • Thanks again. I'm starting to get over my right and left hands hurting like hell after practicing. Good song too, thanks for your wisdom!!

  • да... у меня уже болят пальцы)))

  • Вы получаете используемыми к ему через некоторое время. Как раз примите его медленно к старту с.

  • haha i tried this and my hands are dying... but this is really cool stuff

  • Ha I couldn't do the finger flicking thing :/

  • thanks, that was really helpful.

    You said "next week" but that was two months ago. Plz submit the next lesson soon.

  • Thanks. Very astute! Its a habit from my 'real' lessons saying next week, meant to say next time...... Should be soon though I have been working on my Album over the Summer and that is being mastered on Friday so after that I'll be working on some more videos.

  • what song is this

  • whoa! thanks!

  • Thanks so much for these videos! I don't know how I found them but they are awesome! This is exactly what I needed.. something to teach me in this style. I loved Thomas Leeb's style/Eric Roche's.. so I'm so glad for these videos! Thanks! When does the next one come?

  • lol :) the first one was like a pilot episode to see if the concept worked and people liked it before I went the whole hog and rig up lights and backdrop and made it look all 'mac advert'

  • nice dude... very good tutorial. thanks for sharing it.
