[Tarm187]

GREAT VIDEO

[xulsisohaib]

thanx man,i'm a beginner and before watching your videos,i used to put my acoustic away in frustration after trying to learn and play some stuff,but from every one of your video,i'm able to get something new and its really encouraged me to keep learning n practicing.

[siccud]

does your fingers ever stop hurting? I've been playing for about a year, but I'm just starting to get serious about it. I play a few hours everyday, and my fingers are killing me. I already got callouses, but that don't help. Is there anything I can do?

[muzicalman]

@siccud get lighter gauge strings and spend less time each day practising, maybe about an hour twice a day. 

[frwyguy]

coolness!

[ashkethup14]

[TNT999]

nice vid man thanx ... one question thou ... where exactly is the land of uncompftborlnss ?!!! xD jk jk

but really thanx alot man

[TheOmuur]

I have a problem with the bottom of my 1st finger always getting in the way of the high E string and my 2nd and 3rd fingers seem too short to stretch a C chord and tend to mute out other strings. Can you help me with this?

[lamztiffany]

it's encouraging.. thank you :)

[TheKidnappedPie]

Waaaaazuuuup good people !

[afterdeathkills]

you are a great teacher.

[emily2k111]

i dont even know how do a G :(

[1972Muttley]

Thanks for the videos, you guys are great. Do you always keep the same fingering for chords each time? In this progression, I find it easier to change from D to Dm if I haven't already used my index finger in the D chord and put my little finger in there instead. Is this ok or am I being lazy?! Thanks again.

[rockongoodpeople]

Hi - its a good idea for sure to keep your fingering consistent - especially when first learning. This really helps the muscle memory. Then later when you get more playing time under your belt you can explore different chord voicings and fingerings for the same chords. Enjoy and keep on rocking!

David T

[1972Muttley]

Thanks so much for your videos; you guys are great! When changing between chords do you always keep the fingering the same each time? In this progression I find it easier to change from D to Dm if I haven't already used my index finger in the D chord that precedes it. Is it ok to do this or am I just lazy?! Thanks again.

[kumarnarayanans]

[carmenlooi]

you're a good teacher!

[akramboy93]

the problem is when i look at your video from 6:23 then it looks like you strum all the strings :/

[MrShots]

@akramboy93 he is playing all the strings but hes muting the top string/strings with his thumb

[lordprinxe17]

[ichhabegedroppen]

Hey, i found this video really useful, ive been watching this like everyday for the past few weeks and im starting to get it, thats for making this, its probably the best video i have found yet.

[Hidioshe]

pretty optimistic lesson you know :D

[Catarinaddl]

That helps a lot!

Thank You so much! I'm from Portugal so sorry about my freaking english i started to play the guitar in September... and when i searched to find something to play, and i found this.. i was sooo happy, cuz you are an awsome teacher... i'll subscrive and i'll check your website!

Thanks a lot!

Keep on Rocking... :D

[juanem3]

good exercise, but what all that talking 5 minutes later the exercise finally began..

[angeriod]

I only know c and G. Can you make a video on how to do those chords?

[jwmoulton99]

i love how u talk to me like an 8 year old kid

[HenryFeefan]

@jwmoulton99 It's a begginer guitar lesson. would you rather him say "do this.." *weedala weedala boodloo beedley*

[EpicNap]

he reminds me of steve brule when he says "no problem piece of cake!"

[changaize]

i like down down up up down up :-)

[changaize]

[2398785368]

u remind me of hugh laurie

[destortion93]

SUCKER !! :D I learn myself all by the tabs with no teacher and I'm proud. However the point is that most of the guitar lessons like this on youtube sucks.. I can't understand how this guy is gonna teach you to music with his stupid face and chords for -10th grade students..

[moccamex]

your awsome man!! much better than paying 40$ @ guitar center!

[sugarspice56]

hey!

thanks so much for doing this for viewers. im a beginner and its like youre in my house teaching me how to play! youre really awesome at it! the best teacher i have found so far that made me laugh right off the bat and helped me not feel so frustarting so thank you! thank you! thank you!

[IanRockOn]

Song before i even watched this, i was pretty decent. but after i watched this like 100 times. Ive become good. XD.

[T3hTroll]

So, since I have small fingers and I'm having trouble now, my muscle memory would pretty much kick in and help prevent all the mistakes caused by my small fingers?

of course I understand I have to practice a lot, haha

[AllyoyoCompany]

you can do it! haha

[shant07]

ya before i used to look at my fingers.. now its automatic and im a noob. barelly learning..=]

[aaslanowa]

Amazing, thank you so much. Just found out the pattern you give here, we'll see how long it will take for me to learn it :)) Thanks again, You are Amazing!

[TheAppleMonsters]

you make it seem easy but its not

[keh3194]

i love this guy, what a personality

[farewelltofriends3]

so basically, I picked up playing guitar two days ago. What should I learn first?

[spelcasterful]

[audun414]

[suzyrieger]

[stinaskat]

[fbd24]

great lesson!!!

[Mikemicom]

cool man...........:)

[clandolf]

land of uncomfortableness... lol i like your lessons!

[ahspupil2007]

how do you learn teh strumming method of songs? i cant seem to grasp it. folow the beat? watch other ppl strum? its so confusing! please answer! D:

[rockongoodpeople]

Hi - check out some of my other beginner videos lessons on strum patterns and rhythm and timing - start with the easy strums first then move to harder ones as per the lessons and then start developing your ear so eventually you can figure out any strum just by listening - we also have a boatload of strum and rhythm lessons on the website

David T

[sprong54]

buy a guitar chord diagram and then see what the notes to each chord. When you practice just look at 2 chords and learn the notes that your finger go on. Eventually you will remember!!!

[peteno19]

definitely reading off a promt

[TheSkylerStewart]

I love your guitar! You help alot too. I really can do anything on guitar if I try. I read music, transcript key changes, and improvise everyday until my fingers are soft and burning. I am an acoustic kind of person, but i like both. One day i will have a guitar like yours. Its awesome! My dad barely plays and he has the $1200 guitar and I play hours a day and have the Jam Pak Ibanez acoustic for like $100. Well there is my musical story. Thanks for helping! (Random Sorry) Thanks again.

[WiegerSimonMovies]

thx only 1 problem... i cant read notes.... =p

[rainbowsweetz]

me either -_-

[WiegerSimonMovies]

i can now! my dead learnt me now! =DDD

[MrIndustructable]

that was the best intro ever. lol

[joselyn85232]

Seriously don't know what I would do without you David, I would have put the acoustic down a long time ago!! Your so inspiring!! Thanks so much for your time!!

[DarkAngelOn3]

omg !!! you r good can u personally teach me?

[PE3BEC]

[rev19v6]

hi sorry to u but i did not get any of it u did not tell me were the coreds are so i was mad and i wanted to play that wat u were playing it sownded really good and i wanted to play it i was sad :(

[ccunn72]

David is definitely the easiest instructor to learn from...followed by Wilie "TWOOOOOOO FIST" Magee.

[bfyoung38]

Hey David

I was wondering, are you in the dvds as the teacher?

You are so good at this and want your dvds, but wanted to make sure you are the teacher in them.

[aien89]

Thank you so much, mate. This is really helpfull ! :)

[digiwurmz]

watch from 06:00 to skip the introduction

[Syaaj17]

Thanks alot

[Fanten32]

He's fucking crazy at the start XD. Great video

[jbiarnesen]

THIS MAN IS NOTHING BUT A SALESMAN

[roxtar10870]

@jbiarnesen Everybody's selling something. If you have a job, you're selling your labor and time. Musicians sell their talent, and some people like him are selling their knowledge. He obviously has put in the years of work it takes to be able to play like this, so why shouldn't he get paid for the knowledge?

You think he should teach the whole world to play guitar for free?

[elchilton]

@jbiarnesen go to TABABUNGA . COM you will find video guitar tabs with the tablature to the songs posted, anyone can join and upload videos, its free , TABABUNGA THE

[moviemaker3000]

I focused on electric guitar and shredding technique for about a year and half, and now I want to lay back and practice chord changes. This video was very helpful and inspirational, and you are a fine teacher. Thank you very much, 5 stars, and we appreciate it!!

[12labrie]

thanks for the hel pbut im not getting it sorry but nice vid

[brownchile1]

[huix107]

i am already a subscriber to him. you are right when you say he does more advanced stuff, but not acoustic. i really want a acousic :)

[dysondco1]

Hey great lesson just strumming open chords can be a bit boring a great easy song that incorporates most of these chords is time of your life by green day, g chord played twice, then cadd9,then d, so dont forget play the 4 finger G then cadd9 and D are much easier, then Em, d, cadd9 then G, then Em to G, a great song , and great practise for these chord changes. hope this helps

[YJWoadWarrior]

The land of uncomfortableness?

[broadcast2k9]

great video! youre a cool teacher!!! five stars!!!!!

[babyshady82]

Thanks for the nice approach and the pep talk to push on.

[MichaelNilsen]

G to Em you just got a song right there "fire water burn - Bloodhound gang" G Em C D is "earth Angel"

[toomasmoore]

i just learnt all the changes by playing songs, once i played enough songs i had most of the chord changes.

[strabbs1]

hes right, songs ARE important to the guitar player........cant tell him hes wrong!

[superagnitio]

funny... but songs are the least important thing to me. I just want to be able to play really well

[algunosamigos]

una mierda pinchá en un palo

[billyboggins]

One of the BEST on the net..thanks for all your help and encouragement

[prippropro]

[wiiwillie]

Nice Taylor David!

I'll bet it's a pleasure to play.... sounds great too.

Keep them coming brother.

Bill

[chrissept21]

i learned my changes from going to google and typeing in the song title and then "chords" so lest say "chris young getting you home chords"

and it comes up with it and i turn on the song and i play alog till i get it

but this way is also good

[ADJethwa]

You're the man David, keep rocking these videos to us & thanks a £m...:))

[Elvisyoan]

with this lesson i learnt to play the song wonderwall by oasis really apreciatte ur help rockongoodpeople!!

[IBRockin]

A very good lesson. I've been doing this for several years. I'm not the greatest guitar player in the world, but I can't hit the chord changes. It was just an instinctive thing I guess. I love just strumming chords. Thanks Dave. Keep 'em comin'.

[chessdude67]

Thanks for an excellent video for people like myself who want to learn the basics for playing the most common chords in most rock songs.

Now, what would be the most useful 5 chords?? Anyone? And maybe name a few songs with these 3 to 5 chords?

Thank you in advance.

peace.

[Pingftw]

Well, heres 6 chords and 2 songs that would contain only these chords.

A, Am, C, D, Em,G.

Wish you were here by Pink Floyd.

Take it easy by The Eagles.

[Dan727]

Thank you and my sore fingers thank you.

[CRAIGARRR]

Getting those badges of honor on those fingertips DAN!! WAY TO GO!!

KEEP GOING!!!

[najtrows]

nice, although im at a point where i wanna learn som chords that are more advanced.

could you make a video for that?

[loketron]

bo ya ki cha!

[wickedsickmikeh]

Very good lesson thanks! More on strumming and rythm please! i feel like im rythm handicapped and whatever i play i always fall back in the same patterns of playing, though i have no problems following instructions playing the d/d/u/u/d things :p.

[Eggyism]

Awesome lesson. I like how you mentioned that it wont come to you right away, it could take a couple of weeks. It is just one of those things you have to keep at.

[stalpinho]

great lesson. thanks for that.

btw: this is my fave acoustic guitar. seen it many times.

which one is it exaclty?? ive seen many similar, but never found it with that color...im loving it

[rockpwnsu]

Great LEsson

[RtdXyron]

what cords did he play in the intro?

[ifckmepudding]

Sounds kinda like G, D, and A, but I don't know.

[DEFkon001]

I'll take a stab at it.

Cadd9 - G Major - D major? IV-I-V? -- you can hear that the thiner strings stay the same between the first two chord changes, and then the voicing changes for the third.

[yellowchairreviews]

G, Cadd9, D, Cadd9, G.

[anster2ag]

U CAN DO IT! LOL

[JonnyMais1]

great lesson

[kaleluk31]

also to add more to what i said, you will notice the acoustic is a electrical acoustic so why no just use a electric guitar like a strat if its easier to play for a beginner?

[rydin1]

you should learn on acoustic, it really strengthens your fingers because the action/string gauge are typically higher on acoustic, then when going to play electric its like nothing.

[lespaulrules123]

I agree =) i played acoustic for 3 months, played electric afterwards for 1 year, played an acoustic at sam ash yesterday and it was hard to play barre chords.

[kaleluk31]

id like to ask a question,

how come when demonstrating a beginners lesson that people use a acoustic guitar, i was told that they are harder to play because the strings are thicker so why use an acoustic??

surely its nothing to just plug in a guitar to a amp and play?

[REMZ2007]

@kaleluk31 well it all depends on the gauge strings you use. you can have strings just as thin as the ones on an electric

[RtdXyron]

personal preference i guess

but i think its better to start on accoustic cuz there when you misplay it really shows but with electric your amp might cover it up or your effects might cover it...

+thicker strings make easier and less painful to hit them...

[warpstar0]

Acoustic guitars sound so much better though. :]

Of course it's more about preference. But I just love the sound of an acoustic being played.

[grewejames]

Sweet Taylor... I'm envious...lol

[Odvaha]

it's tough going....i gotta go get a better guitar first i think..... thanks for the great tips by the way ..... your a great teacher !! best of luck !!
