21: Guitar Lessons & Techniques for Beginners

Lessons 13 and 14 may be swapped around. I was a bit unsure due to the picking in the Exercise 1 Backwards video, as he alt picks in it. Also, both lesson 6 and 8 say that the next lesson is tuning the guitar, so I just put it as lesson 8.

Anywho, please thumbs up so everyone who watches the videos can see the order. (Y)

And please leave thanks to Bryan and expertvillage.

[juanitabow]

[LadiiLuck2012]

[chaosblast09]

[Able2speak]

[BoiledBlackMilk]

@559wacko Yeah sure, just add another 8 minutes of black and silence.

[charlemagnesface]

I'd like to point out that Brian has fixed alot of errors in my technique, it never hurts to go back to basics. He's a great teacher and his video's will help a lot more people with their lessons. Great work!!!

[xmychemloverx]

ok this guy is a good teacher, nice tips!.

[modykhan1805]

Bryan is the first Teacher who exactly taught how to place your finger on the string, How to press fret with your fingers the exact position.I have been playing for 8 months & It helped me a lot. Great video and Great Teacher.

[msweirdozann]

I had a blue normal guitar. But i am not sure how to play it properly. But i had a disc and a book along with it. Can someone help me? =[ Please reply miie. TC.

[azerskater]

your watching a video arent you besides you cant explain how to play guitar properly in a youtube comment just keep watching these videos they're good and i dont know what you mean by normal but if you mean acoustic or non electric in simpler terms then its the same exact notes and fingerings as electric just a different sound

[ThatGuyThatMakesVide]

awesome

[killwasgurl]

these vids are great!!! big help!!!

[Dragonpowerfullaura]

Someone told me once that you need long nails for guitar playing , but i don't know if that's true , I don't have long nails .

FINALLY i know now at least , how i must hold those fret's or strings thanx.

I got a elektric guitar and i'm a beginner , so i going to start today when i watch Space Jam , long time ago i've seen it.

Hey you all good luck playing your guitar.

Make some nice music.You always wanted

[clemsonpimp17]

some ppl like to have long nails on there picking hand when pickin acoustic and such but keep your fretting hand nails short

[elblboy]

It is "sometimes" better if you play without your nails. Note how i said "sometimes", to harden your fingertips early is better if you play on and off with your nails.

[CayanMagusson]

Agreed, you're going to want SHORT nails for when you fret. Long nails get in the way and make things difficult. Most classical players have long nails on their picking hand (typically just the thumb and/or pinkie) for when they finger-pick.

[Fullblaster]

You need long nails only on your stumming hand if you want to make it easier to strum without using a pick, it's not very usefull if you have one.

[jg215]

You should really say what lesson is what number

[DorkeyDear]

I searched "How To Play Guitar for Beginners" and get many playlists for this, but I'm not sure which one(s) are in order though (at least when it comes to when he says "next we'll ..." or whatever meaning in the next video, and the next video in the playlist is not that, its a bit annoying)

[WESTCOASTKING76]

I agree! :)

[seanconneryyayay]

search for jrach1 he has all these in order

[jg215]

ah ok i will. thanks

[baldwinrules]

when he says you fret the string before the fret you play dose that mean you play the first fret in that area between the first fret and the nut or is the first fret played differently. Message me the awnser

[baritone014]

THank you so much!! im a beginner and i ignorantly use my fingerpads--it hurts..now i know!!!tnx!!

[Tsunande4]

just wait, now your finger tips are gonna hurt too ;)

[razorsrocker991]

what are the notes for the first 4 frets of each string? can anyone help me? :(

[Gloc998]

I asked this Question on another video... How many Frets Are there??? whats the Number of the one nearest to the body???

[Pigboy501]

it depends. usually u have 22 frets, so the 22th

[sebastianjwalker]

19 acoustic 22 electric normally but can vary

[lexhus]

You... Are.. Amazing.. Your tutorials are the best! They're clear and simple.. You're an excellent tutor..

[DavisGuitarStudio]

Ok....notes are the SAME pitch anywhere within the fret!...fretted notes cannot be flat or sharp within the fret (:57). That's why their are fret wires on the guitar so notes don't go sharp or flat. Might want to rethink that part......the only time notes can change pitch when pressing down on a fret is when the fret wires are really tall or the neck is scalloped..

[Maiathereckless]

hey wat if u have lyk small hands r u still able to play cause i have a guitar and i really wana play

[bestbass42]

Thanks for all the vides,they are a help,but the geaza in the vids looks like his fingers are all 7'' long!!! My fingers are no where near as long,im having trouble reaching round without touching the other strings.

[SkullKing58763]

i rly need hlp freting

[megadeth1923]

wat would probably help u is flexibility and strength in ur fingers my friend tld me just 2 do exercises with my fingers to make them stronger and it helped quite a bit

[jesussacra]

ooohh thanks =D

[Imbored0599]

what exercises??

[lovelyBoy1990]

I have a guitar but I can't play this.

Plz write on ur video title part:1,Part:2...

[magged911]

I was a noob ha.i had same prob.

[xIXxUNREALxXIx]

my fingertips hurt so badley

[DarkRayden666]

my uncle once told me that your fingertips will hurt the first time you play a guitar. Just keep playing, the pain will go away after a short time

[blugtar87]

yeah, ur fingers will develop calluses (i think thats how u spell it) ^_^

[Imbored0599]

Claws?? ='D

[xRonnelx]

and ur tiny cock

[Jaylyn109]

YA I GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[langylang09]

I hate My small hands

[dctopboots01]

u know what they say about small hands

[adrrian92]

lol :D.

[yur0wnstupidity]

small gloves

[rickg20000]

lmao

[lemonbandaid]

@langylang09 small fingers

[cofkilla]

@langylang09 If you have problem with your hand, you can try a guitar with a less wide fretboard and a shorter neck, or get a guitar for younger players, or "kids".  It shouldn't be a shame at all.

[KYRA5682]

@langylang09 ikr thank god my parents got a "begining" guitar and its small

[dunavidrava]

@langylang09 small hands have an advantage,when you advance more,you'll shred much faster than someone with big hands

[aventuras111]
