Probably either you are still not pressing hard enough to get the tone, - you need to also be as close to the the fret as possible (the metal strips that split up each fret) or your guitar has a high 'action' which basically means its harder to get the strings firmly down, or you could have a very low action, which is causing the strings to buzz on lower frets when playing a chord, hope this helps
i gota a question. im new with guitars and i need some 'help'. wenever i play guitar, no mater how hard i press on strings it doesnt give that sound if u kno wat i mean. instead of doing that nice stringy sound, it does that horrible. now the guitar is like, 4 or 5 years old (or more), does it have anything to do with that? are there any tricks to make the strings sound good or is it just pure practice? or is it the guitars age?
Justin is my favorite guitar teacher on the internet, among many good ones (like Marty Schwartz and Andrew Wasson ). I learned my very first chord from this guy, and that was four years ago, now I easily play Lead Zeppelin solos and stuff lol. I'm really grateful, and I donate once in a while, you other people should too! :-D
Justin you have helped me fall in love with the blues. No doubt you are a superior teacher. I can see that you will make it easy for me to learn a huge amount of music.
starting to think guitar is always gonna be out of the reach of my abilities, no matter how hard i try i can never get my fingers in the right place as takes me about 5 mins to play one bar( and not well mind) then by that time my finger tips are sore i guess i am just not used to it enough, its damned hard this guitar lark.
thank you so much! I enjoyed this lesson a lot! You helped me, and to give you something back, I liked, added to favourites and am about to subscribe :) Please keep uploading You are great!!!
Pretty Cool lesson here, Covers the topic quite well. Ive just made a bunch of detailed courses for beginners and advanced guitarists that you might be interested in. Check it out! would love to know what you and anyone watching this video thinks. Its totally free, and i mean TOTALLY
Hey man, this is a very cool lesson! ive just created some beginner courses that you might want to check out on my channel. Its the Hub of a new website >> RexPearson. com << would love for you to check it out and let me know what you think
hey i'm having a hard time figuring out this quick stumming technique. the only way to explain what i mean is by saying it's right before the chorus of the song big city dreams. could you make a short video possibly to explain this. i can't find one anywhere. thanks
I've been playing for just one month, so I still have trouble with basic chords, let alone progressions. Learning the intro to this took 5 minutes. Thanks Justin. I can't get the smile off of my face. Plus, I've lived my whole life in Chicago, so playing any bit of a Blues riff makes me extra happy.
Hello! I'm new at teh guitar playing, please help me! Is this song in 4:4 or 3:4? I'm trying to play it, azn I can play the notes in order, butthe rithm is hard!When U play the main easy parts it's 4:4 and then the solo parts are 3:4? Do I get this right?
Blues is in 4/4 but each beat is divided into 3, which I will call a,b,c. When you play 1/2 notes, you play the second half note late, or swing it, so effectively you play on a and c. This gives the blues the "chugga chugga" rhythym. Sometimes, particularly in solos this is mixed with triplets, which just means you play on a, b and c. Take a look at Justins free beginners course and he explains it or buy any beginners blues guitar tutorial book.
This video is really brilliant, I am just a bit concerned it might still be a bit too difficult for beginners. If you really want to learn to play the guitar within 7 days then my advice would be to watch some of the videos on EASYSTRINGS (dot) INFO
Why do Austrailians play Blues? They have no idea what the Blues are all about. AC/DC was blues based and I can't understand why they like it so much. Blues belongs to America, black America in particular. There are no black people in Austrailia. Get your own style!
i'm not australian but you're a dumbfuck. blues doesn't belong to anyone. you don't have to be a poor black man picking cotton in the white fields of America to play blues.
rasist as we in transilvania say "you suck more than i do" :-)) dude blues isn't a country style blues can sing even a japanese guy if he studies hard enough.
