@luffy498 play the d chord. then slowly strum strings 3, 2 and 1. then play a chord. the strum 3, 2 and 1. and keep going through out the whole chord progression
Aloha David ~ love this video tutorial, it's helped me tremendously because I've never picked in all my life. I'm a good strummer, never picked. Growing up in Hawai'i as a kid learning to play ukulele like we all had to, you'd think I'd 'pick' it up. Nope, mental block due to 'forced guitar lessons' as a kid. Dunno, but you helped me 'breakthrough'. Today, I practice Canon In D, this very simple version and am able to accompany my other advanced players. So, MAHALO, and keep it up!
I skipped to the next video and was able to understand it ALOT more...this may sound stupid but I could play the chords with the picking but aint sure wat this first video is about :( is it to get us familar with the chords and the pickings sepreatly? then in the next video are they both together??? wats funny is im not sure how to do either alone...but i can play them together :)
Does it still work if I replace the Bm with a Bm7? I can't physically play the Bm =(
