[ccw39]

Wow, this video was perfect and helped me so much! I was struggling to understand how to do this until I saw this video!!!

[Sammi1245]

THANKS DUDE

[shredrix]

great explanation and not so difficult seeing this ...do you plan on doing any other precussive guitar videos with maybe a bass tone hit or anyother one

[MrAiki27]

thx a lot! it helped me a lot :)

Is it possible to strum percussive w/o using a pick? I always used a thumb hitting low E, but I saw guitar players sometimes don't change position of their hands - like here (but they haven't picks, too).

[googoplexable]

@Felix4344 easy... check out justins lesson on sultans of swing lesson one.. he does the percussive thing without a pick =)

1 minute through sounds like - stuck in the middle with you -

[grandtheftgordon]

anyone got any song suggestions where this technique sounds really good?

[emccartes]

@grandtheftgordon the part he uses as an example sounds a good deal like "Have You Ever Seen The Rain," and fortunately he does a lesson--if I remember correctly--on that song on his song site. best of luck, man.

Hi Justin,

Just a quick question.

Can this technique damage my guitar?? :P

[spurtas]

@codemastersnake No it wont. Course , if you hit it really really hard, you may brake something, but it will be more painful to your hand, than your guitar..

[erikch1]

He is the man!! What a professional guitar teacher!!!

[TheGladiator13]

Use the same strumming pattern/rhythm and chords CG-CG-CC and you have "Have You Ever Seen The Rain?" CCR!! Classic :)

And for the chorus you can use FG - CEmAm - FG - CEmAm - FGC but with different strumming.

[MrKiammi]

I have trouble doing this On a electric guitar,

Any hand position advice On the strumming side; its Like my arm long or hand/fingers are too long, i cant hit strings properly

I guess because of the el guitar body

Dunno advice please :)

kaa!

[bobblunn]

I'm sure there are plenty more, but it sounded a lot like the Archies tune - Sugar Sugar.

@bobblunn Reminds me of Stuck in the Middle with You!

That Neil Young shirt is the icing on the cake. Props to you!

[redsoxfan713]

Couldn't help but think of Macy's Day Parade by Green Day with this lesson

[googoplexable]

i take it you cant do this with electric guitar

[CarrickLightstar]

@googoplexable You can do, just sounds a bit different.

[Kumoxi]

@JustinSandercoe hey Justin, saw you in the Netherlands most recently =D In Roosendaal at the local guitarstore, but was affraid to talk to you. Cheers

[JustinSandercoe]

@Kumoxi you should have said hi. My tattoo artist took me there to look around... I was there getting new tattoos!

[Toompernator]

@JustinSandercoe Holy crap ;/ Lemme guess, Van Gorp? The store, that is. Can't believe I missed ya, I practically live there!

doov kah

[9innail]

BTW. All my skill are because of you XD... (waiting for advanced lessons)

[9innail]

Very nice. I didn't think about how I have actually been using my fretting hand to mute and crunch. I do think it should be said, however that using your fretting hand to achieve this effect can give the opportunity for harmonic frequency changes when hovering above certain frets (3rd) and slowly moving your resting finger along that particular harmonic zone while muting the whole time. :D

[heydjplaythtsong]

FIRST!

This technique is really awesome... use it all the time :)
