[ragingtears007]

I play multiple instruments and I wanted to see how to play guitar as well and through this whole video I'm just counting crazy rhythms out while he's doing the whole quarter note eighth note thing X3 1 and a 2 e and a 3 e and 4!

[9458able]

You're awesome!!! Thank you so much! :)

[7yasmeen7]

I freaking love you. ♥

[o0R3stless0o]

this guy knows his stuff!

[angelbella922]

i know someday i will be good guitarist like you.. ^_^

[Zozage135]

oh dear, it's really not looking good since i can't even do the first part where you do the counting to 4 thing :L :L

[yankeessuck1138]

This is really cool and helpful, bit what if u wanna learn to play like Tenacious D? I highly doubt they strum that slow

[Millomunster]

this guy is great but does he remind anyone else of the dude from office space? haha



[simplyadorkablex3]

this really helped

[mssgfan1]

who has a 222

[evelienengeltjes]

Do you hold all the strings?

[TheKingdan12]

all i want to play for is so i ccan sit in my room when i am bored and play but there is a slight problem........I'M CRAP

[crazy0music0chick]

Thank you! This is really helpful- finally convinced my uncle to give me his old guitar :)

[SarahMariecc]

what type of guitar do you have? :) thinking of taking on the guitar :)

[purestr4omar]

I'm a professional guitarist and dude, thats a way to teach retards, not beginners

teach them how to play for god's sake, knowing how to strum does not require a 4min video, i admit your a good teacher but you waste too much time. you could make a 1 minute video doing better than that ;)

[JojoChan13x]

its official your the best youtube guitar teacher :D

[That253Chick]

Yep. It's official. YouTube is officially my new teacher.

This is my New Year's resolution ... to learn how to play my guitar.It's the only resolution I plan to keep.

[xxunxnamedxx1]

@That253Chick

[IAMZONIAN]

@That253Chick How this that working out for you? Because I am doing the same thing starting today.

[FotherMucker1998]

@That253Chick have u learnt to play the guitar yet

[That253Chick]

@FotherMucker1998 haha, nope. i've been slacking.

[LifeIn8Bit]

@That253Chick well its been 9 months...how did you do?

[iLoveU156]

[That253Chick]

@iLoveU156 glad i'm not the only one. :D

[jimmydodson]

[Mattehification]

how u mute strings?

[RescueMe96]

@Mattehification you just lay your fingers across the stings dont put pressure

[XxXDarkPainXxX]

@6musiclover8 @smilezX3113 what i have found is what i do is i just lay my fingers on the strings, have just a little pressure. not much :3 hope it helps :P

[Hackmen1973]

im realy new to this but all my familey play i want to now helpppp

[SmilezX3113]

Im Having Trouble Muting My Strings Lol O.o

[MinnxP]

@SmilezX3113 me too xD

[6musiclover8]

@SmilezX3113 Yay I'm not the only one! I was feeling pretty stupid throughout the last lesson

[AloneInTheMorge]

@SmilezX3113 hahahaha you aint the only one i thought maybe i was doing it wrong

[solarsunset]

@SmilezX3113 join the club

[lpcaycho6]

@SmilezX3113 just put ure hands on top of the strings without pressing hard on them and u shood get a muted sound

[comauzo]

@SmilezX3113 just lightly cover the strings with the fingers of your left hand

[iTasiaa]

@comauzo Don't apply pressure as that will cause the strings to vibrate o3o.

[comauzo]

@iTasiaa um..i don't. thanks for the tip, though :)

[iTasiaa]

@comauzo Nonono I was just adding on to your tip haha (:

[comauzo]

@iTasiaa ooooooh... haha. sorry!

[cubanprid3]

@SmilezX3113 you literally lay your fingers on your strings you dont press down what so ever

[vesmag]

@SmilezX3113 you shouldnt press the strings, you just sligthly touch them so they wouldnt vibrate when you play them.

[Menikmati311420]

@SmilezX3113 I was having trouble with that too I was pressing too hard down on the strings.. all you need is the lightest touch on the strings, don't necessarily push the strings down on the neck, just put your fingers on the strings but don't press them down against the neck. just use a light touch

[BhabySetho17]

@SmilezX3113 try using your palm



[SkdooshFun]

@SmilezX3113 to mute your strings you need to hold them slightly down but not to the point were they touch the wood....if they touch the wood they play normally so just press them down slightly.....

[Barriebatsbak]

@SkdooshFun thnx man, i was like 'how the f*** does he do that?!

[ExoWahid]

@SmilezX3113 The trick kinda is to net really press the strings, just put ur hand lightly on it, so u touch them, that wat they cant really vibrate and produce sound. I just found out :D

[dunhillsupramk3]

hey my shit don't sound like yours! is it cause i got nylon strings or i need lots of practice? i have been at it for 36hrs now.

[Suvnish]

This guy is the best. dont waiste your time on other videos if you are a begginer. I have seen quite a lot of videos on youtube for learning guitar. but this guy solves the purpose

[flyinglikethelinnets]

I just started learning guitar last night with these videos. This guy is amazing.

[alquimistaeterno]

ive had a guitar for 8 yrs and never played it! now is time since ur videos inspired me! thank you so much....

[kobebraynt1000]

[fangvamp]

[SkaterZygi]

[xxFIR3BIRDxx]

@SkaterZygi 6 hours ago for me, i can already play sweet home alabama and sweet child o mine

[asianpker1]

[xxFIR3BIRDxx]

@asianpker1 yep

[kamikazeboy123]

[xAndersK123]

@kamikazeboy123 it's called inlays..

[kamikazeboy123]

@xAndersK123 yeah what are those for?it can't be for fun right?

[xAndersK123]

@kamikazeboy123 omfg.. go to wikipedia and search inlays (guitar)

[kamikazeboy123]

@xAndersK123 LOL,my fingers are too heavy to type.

[ThisEndOfForever]

[technopath100]

this is so frustrating. what does it mean if i cant mute the strings?. i cant even do that for crying out loud.

[ihatechili]

i know me too lol im just gona force my dad to teach me itll be a lot less confusing

[technopath100]

gud on ya. i have found music books helpfull. there are books which focus on songs comprising of only 4 chords. i can play candle in the wind and the joker.

[Kolya734]

just touch the strings without pressing down, it stops the vibrations

it helped me to mute them and just strum one string and then two and then three and so on

[technopath100]

i did'nt think that was going to work but it did. i was pressing to hard. thanks a lot mate..

[Kolya734]

[KachiOya]
