Hey Justin. I am teaching myself guitar, after playing piano, for several years. I like to learn songs by ear. even if they are a bit wrong. But your lessons, especially the technique lessons, are invaluable. Your a fantastic teacher. I also admire your passion for teaching, and music, and your respect for human and animal rights. and of course your patience, clearly demonstrated in this series of videos. Anyway.. Really appreciate the lessons... keep it up. Peace

Why is it bad to put distortion pedals in the effects loop?

[TheMadMusicMan]

Because it can boost your power or pre amp too over the edge. If your amp isn't all the way up then you can probably get by. Distortion somtimes sounds better in front of the amp...

barre chords are very hard for me to play my hands hurt when i try to do them and my fingers can't stay in the place where i want them to be. What should i do?

[mess0g]

Train hard. Make sure you are doing it right. There is no quick method to learn barre chords. It always takes a lot of time

(I know it took me a while, but I learned them eventually), practice and pain.

[stebbins99]

It's much easier to barre chords on an electric guitar. You won't build finger strength as fast, but it will be easier to make a clean sound

[pierredex]

you can begin with playing each of the note of the barre individually (ex: intro of stairway to heaven, or autumn harmony, or any kind of arpegios) it may seem harder at the beginning but it's perfect for building strength

Hey Justin, my question for you, is: Is there a huge difference between a built-in acoustic pickup, and if you buy one for your guitar. I know it all depends on brand, quality, and so on, but is there a notacable difference in quality? Also, do you have any preference for these acoustic (guitar) pickups? I am kinda partial to the Fishman's.
