How To Play Guitar for Beginners : Holding your Guitar for Beginners

[lilbro209]

Hey can you put all your lessons from start to finish in a playlist? That way we don't have to move the guitar and find your next video. It will really help a lot not to mention increase the views by a pretty big number!

[jerryy538]

haha you said strap on.

on a more serious note, you should have these videos in a playlist so i can watch it in order.

[SinnerGuitarWhore]

You look like the youtuber 'cyr'

[sterling16rox]

[codeblack58]

I Thought I had to hold my guitar on my feet until I watch this video.

[Livehardproductions]

[sparta981]

This guy wasn't in the Scott Pilgrim movie, was he? He looks familiar

[GodSince1994]

Come on people! Read the fucking title! It says FOR BE-FUCKING-GINNERS!!! stop whining over the fact that he's actually doing this so beginners can understand it! jesus! you have to imagine that he's teaching people (like me) who's never ever held a guitar, and been able to actually play it, let alone make a proper tune!

[ThePass1967]

@GodSince1994 ty bro im 44 and a beginner on acoustic..id lik to learn basics so i dont develop bad habits

[LeoLovesNature]

"how to tune glutes"

[Kenan123321]

[hanzimaster]

[TheJimiles]

For all those who would like to know the order of these videos, I believe I have the correct order.

1- How To Play Guitar for Beginners : Guitar Lessons for Beginners

2: Tools Needed for Beginning Guitar

3: Knowing your Guitar for Beginners

4: Holding your Guitar for Beginners

5: Right Handed Technique for Beginning Guitar

6: Left Handed Technique for Beginning Guitar

7: Fretting the Strings for Beginning Guitar

8: Pick Techniques for Beginning Guitar

9: Tuning your Guitar by Ear for Beginners

[TheJimiles]

10: B String Tuning for Beginning Guitar 11: Tuning Guitar with Electric Tuner for Beginners 12: Reading a Diagram for Beginning Guitar 13: Exercise 1 for Beginning Guitar 14: Playing Exercise 1 for Beginning Guitar 15: Playing Exercise 1 Backwards for Beginning Guitar 16: Alternate Picking for Beginning Guitar 17: Guitar Tablature for Beginners 18: Playing the Tablature for Beginning Guitar 19: Major Scale for Beginning Guitar 20: Guitar Lessons for Beginners: Different

[TheJimiles]

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.

[ramclam1]

[HaroCorporation]

can u play metal on electric guitars or only acoustic? Like BFMV, distrubed, five finger death punch.

[fkthlf]

@HaroCorporation thats just some kind of stupid question

[syansaheer]

ty buddy.............

[TheWhole7ruth]

Thanks for making these videos; they may seem unnecessary to people who can actually play, like teaching someone how to sit down at a piano, but they're actually really helpful to us noobs ;)

[skunkfromcamden]

can you please teach me why should we never hold the electric guitar too high like the man on the video did?

I would like to know what problems can it bring.

See I used to watch Alex Turner, from arctic monkeys, holding it that way, too high, but nowadays he has changed his posture, holding it lower these days.

I used to hold it higher too because reaching the frets was easier and my hands weren't tired at the end of one song.

Thank you so much

Skunkfromcamden

[milky1008]

[DumblyBrilliant]

[info2k8]

[andiromanul]

thank you very much

[jeanki1234]

my guitar is a fender

[silvervolt7]

starcaster? or just normal

[SuperPashion]

MY GUITAR IS A CRAFTER

[jokafuel]

i am thinking about getting a avenge sob but i have to hold the guitar the other way and the body stile is very different i dont think it would be as comfortable can anyone give me there opinion?

[jayhellcat]

If you are a beginner and just started learning than these positions are just fine. It's comfortable. Just a small remark though. After a while practice in a standing position as well. Cause maybe you want to play in a band sometime? And then you won't be sitting around but standing. And it feels, well, different.

[geniousdeeson]

u look like from dat tv show joe dirt

[DaniellaAHerrera]

this is helping thank you!!

[djukafox]

i got a question im a begginer...And i need to know about some guitars.I can see that there are different sounds in guitar but how do i set them up on my electric guitar,i have only the acoustic sound :S?

[sweetguy134u]

u need an amp with a drive switch to give it that electric sound

[Anime4Ev3r]

or an distortion /overdrive / whatever pedal

[shaneomcg123]

[uprise777]

[0neweak]

[ShakingAtTheKnees]

Wait...you're not supposed to eat the guitar? Whoops!

[Terminator7653]

stop talking and start playing lol

[laylalo100]

good

[Hudzan]

About that curve...I have a flying V -.-

[carlosewm]

He said it was just about what feels more confortable to you, and it's true, even though some positions might turn it harder, but you'll know when you do them.

[oppedx]

thank you so, much, i did not i knew how to hold it.

[turkeymaster77]

what's with the commas?

[oppedx]

sorry,

[CaveofTwoLovers]

@oppedx

you didn't knew English either. >.>

[ilove2drink]

is there any way you can get the whole thing insted of just parts?

[mandyxalwaysxknows]

thanks for posting!

[UBUIBME8]

How great is this guy? He teaches the most basic, fundamental lesson on how to hold a guitar without making you feel stupid. I bet he was bored with this one, though--hahaha.

[nastyguard007]

@UBUIBME8 It takes skill to teach people basic things, and it's a lot of responsibility. Teaching somebody wrong technique can cripple their playing for a long time until they realize it.

I would really like to see some more advanced things, solo techniques from this guy.

[undertone113]

id like to hear him jam , just to see what hes got.

[SilentWolf989]

ahhhh why wouldnt u put all the guitar tutorial vid in one vid??? o aat least in fewer vids...

[67845connor]

i hate the classical way of hold it but my guitar teacher says that i have to do that im getting ready to go to a different guy

[xxmasta1xx]

sorry but im not using the electric guitar

i use the acoustic guitar (sorry but i dont know how to write some words right)

is it the same ??

[SnakyGodzilla]

Yeah, it's the same. I play both the acoustic and electric. I use the same sitting and standing position on both.

[xxmasta1xx]

OK Thanks
