  • Why no nails, I mean, really ZERO nails !?

  • X02210 is an Am chord

    X32010 is a C chord

  • Thank you Megan.. this is very helpful xx

  • it is really good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I'm as complete a beginner as they get. Just got a guitar not 10 minutes ago. Never before played one. How do you align your fingers so that the string doesn't stop vibrating? Like when I pluck the B string it just stop vibrating. I dunno if that made sense.

  • nice....

    

  • the X02210 is the position of your left hand fingers on the frettes.. x means you don't play that chord, 0 means you play that chord but without pressing any frettes then the numbers is the frette you have to put your fingers on. say 2 means you put your finger on the second frette starting from the far left. i'm still a begginer too just thought i'd try to explain it in my words maybe it helps.

  • that was very simple and helpful thank you ! doin a great work

  • cool..........

    

  • thank you!!!!!!!

  • 2nd day with my new guitar , my fingers are killing me , am i doing it wrong ...

  • Hey Megan. Is index finger on 4th and pinkie on 1st just personal preference or are there any disadvantages of using that method? (I use it)

  • im playing with the same guitar

  • Just a quick question. I recently starting teaching myself fingerstlyle guitar. I use my thumb for the bass notes, and the index finger for the other notes. I rarely use the other fingers, only when I have to pluck more than two strings at the same time. I just need to ask if its ok to do so? Or if I am just developing a bad habit?

  • OMG, this sounds beautiful!

  • Thanks Megan, that's the first time I've managed to make something resembling music on my guitar

  • Megan again,Nice

  • Thank you so much Megan! I've been playing guitar for a month now & I never really understood fingerpicking until now, all thanks to your video! I'm very grateful =)

  • Excelente Video! =)

  • Thank you very muchfor this lesson, Iam learning guitar playing and am just learning finger picking, you made it look easy. I will be a follower from now on. Again, Thanks! Joe

  • X02210 is the tabs for Am. Think of each digit as a string. The X is the top string and you don't hit it. 0 means open note. 2 means the second fret, and so on

  • Wow, this actually makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

  • its the chord break down. the number represent the fret where u must put your finger from the 6th string (biggest) to 1st (smallest), the X is mean the cut the note so that we can just hear the picking not the note.

  • Thank you!

  • thanks

    

  • hi megan

  • Hey quick question, I was wondering if it's a bad habit to rest my right pinky on the guitar under the strings rather than have it up next to my other fingers etc? Thanks!

  • hello I am from georgia caucasus... i liked your lessons....

  • Whats X02210? :o (im a complete beginner)

  • @UncleJamessyy

    Each character represents one string on a guitar, and together they describe a chord. X means don't play the string, 0 means play it but don't fret it (leave it open) and the other numbers mean put a finger on that number fret. The image I linked makes it pretty obvious.

  • @UncleJamessyy If you start with the lowest (lowest meaning thickest) string on the left, each character represents one string. X means don't play the string. 0 means play the string but don't fret it (leave it open). 1, 2, 3, etc refer to which fret you should be pressing for that string. X02210 is an A-minor chord.

  • @UncleJamessyy You probably know this by now but its tabs for a chord 0 means you play it open it shows on 6 lines which presents the strings going from High E to Low E (string closest to chin) the number on the lines represent the fret number its quite simple 0 means you just play it openly.

  • @UncleJamessyy That's the chord of Am with the 6th string not being played - I assume you've worked it out now.

  • @UncleJamessyy its the chord break down. the number represent the fret where u must put your finger from the 6th string (biggest) to 1st (smallest), the X is mean the cut the note so that we can just hear the picking not the note.

  • @UncleJamessyy it`s just like the tab. The Strings are called EADGBE. X02210 means you have to press down the D and G string in the second fret and the B string in the first string. I hope it helped :P

  • @UncleJamessyy it's the fingering for A minor. the x means you don't play that string. 0 means open string. 2 means you use your middle finger and one means you use your index finger....

  • @UncleJamessyy This indicates the position of each finger on the fretboard. X= dampen or touch so it does not make a sound, 0= open string, 2= hold string at 2nd fret, 1= hold string at 1st fret. From left to right X02210 the strings if you were holding the guitar vertical so the tuners are up and the body is down like the guitars hanging on the wall in the background. X is the thickest string and lowest tone while 0 is the thinnest string and highest tone.

  • @UncleJamessyy X = string you don't play, the numbers = which fret you are on (eg. 0 is an "open" chord meaning one played without any finger on it.)

  • @UncleJamessyy If no one has told you yet, its the fret pattern, X=string not played 0=open string 2=fret number 2=fret number 1=fret number 0=open string The patter starts from the top string, the one closest to your chin. X02210 is just an Aminor chord.

  • @UncleJamessyy its the short first string is X ( so dont play it ), second string is 0 so just play it without putting a finger on it, on thirth string you play a finger on the second fret, , fourth string the same, fifth string on the first fret, and the last string is also played without a finger

  • @UncleJamessyy

    You have more likes on this comment than you have channel views ...

    This made me smile :p

  • @UncleJamessyy its where you place your fingers the x means dont play that string or place your finger on it .the numbers 0,1,2 mean what fret to place your finger on

  • @UncleJamessyy

    It's the 'tab' for the strings that you either not play (X), play open (0), hold down the string on the 2nd fret (2) or 1st fret (1). It goes from left to right, biggest string to smallest string. Good luck

  • @UncleJamessyy it's what fret you're playing on each string. so the X means you don't play the first string then you play no fret on the second string (the 0) then you put your fingers on the second fret for the third and fourth string and you're playing the first fret on the fifth string and nothing on the sixth.

  • @UncleJamessyy There the stings strings...

    X=first string not playing (Low E string)

    0=Open String (A string)

    2=finger on second fret (D string)

    2=finger on second fret (G string)

    1-finger on first fret (High E string)

    0=open string

  • @UncleJamessyy X02210 reperesents the finger positions for an A minor chord.

    The low E string is muted (represented by the X)

    The A string is played open

    The D string will be fretted at 2 (an E note)

    The G string will be fretted at 2 (a A note)

    The B string will be fretted at 1 (a C note)

    The high E string is played open.

    To mute a string, place a finger on it lightly so that it won't vibrate when struck. It's probably easiest to use your thumb. Anyway, look up "A minor chord."

  • @UncleJamessyy its Am A minor

    its the chord look up basic chords on google the x means dont strum that string the 0 means strum the string all with your right hand and the 221 is your finger possition on the D G E strings .

  • @UncleJamessyy I am not sure if anyone ever replied to this, but this code tells you what fret to place your finger on in the chord. The order goes from the 6th string to the 1st string. Xs stand for the string not being played at all. 0s mean that there is no finger on that chord.

    Hope that helps.

  • @UncleJamessyy it means you don't play the bottom E string, you play an open A string, on the d and g string you have your finger on the second fret, on the b strong you have your finger on the first fret, and the high e string is open. :)

  • cool thanks

  • What type of guitar are you playing, Megan?

  • Great vid! Thanks! I've been having a lot of trouble learning how to strum (or is it pluck) the strings , because I have never taken a formal lesson. Watching the close-up was really helpful. I think it would be easier, if I wasn't a guy with big fingers. Guess I'll have to keep practicing!

  • why are all of the comments spammed? they arent even mean

  • Oh yes i get it females are better at guitar using just their fingers and males are better at using a plectrum, plus women have stiff fingers on the guitar but they are good at finger strumming and men are very good at vibratos and guitar solos. women love acoustic guitars. men love electric les pauls mainly white!
