[TheRealPrOwLeR84]

[ooberpwnage]

@TheRealPrOwLeR84 There's no capo. He's tuned to Eb. Half step down.

[rungej]

[turbochickenstudios]

@rungej it's a 1998 taylor 410ce.

[marcometalico]

[DaDarkstar]

[CaseyJanee]

THANK YOU!!! =]

[youskxxx]

please......... tell the up and down strumming pattern in written.

[anewrising]

could u put the strumming pattern in the description. / for down \ for up

[rok420]

Is it just me, or is the neck on that guitar really wide?

[turbochickenstudios]

i think it's the angle...

[augustvirgo]

hey how much do you charge for drum lessons if its over at my place? cuz im currently learning drums from another guy but he'll be going to us nxt year so ill be looking for a teacher starting from next year..thnx

[krouchy]

What should be the correct position of your hand while doing the muting ? coz when im muting my palm is in a pretty awkward position and my high E strings are nt always muted

[turbochickenstudios]

hey krouchy,

it's really a personal thing. for me i place my palm near the bridge area and mute the last 3 strings. as for the first 3 like you've mentioned, i usually use my left hand (available fingers) to mute.

[krouchy]

OK!! thx !! btw am i able to do this strumming pattern withour using a pick?

[turbochickenstudios]

you could, just that you might lose a little percussiveness from the picking sound.

[ygiriprashanth]

Hey, thanks for the lessons.

What are the other songs that this strumming can be used.

[turbochickenstudios]

many! you can break the strum pattern up, improv and create your own (by shuffling the accents around)

[lukauskis]

do you strum all strings??

[turbochickenstudios]

hi lukauskis,

i don't strike all the strings when doing mutes, for chords i do (the relevant strings, of course)

[avishek2415]

awesome vid

[weino3]

ahh so hard to master. having problems with the muting. any tips?

[turbochickenstudios]

hello weino3,

try lifting your left hand off the fretboard when your right is doing the mute, that should help.

[weino3]

okay. thanks. (:

[rxjuiuc]

Nice Job man. I like your lessons =]

keep the good work up!

[OnTheRanch]

Hi, what's the "E"-thingy there

[turbochickenstudios]

hi ontheranch,

do you mean the E when counting 1Ena 2Ena etc?

it's how we count 16th notes, if that's what you're asking. otherwise feel free to inbox me.

[OnTheRanch]

yeah, thanks for the reply :)

[cmitchell2007]
