while playing that it feels like he is telling you a bed time story =))

Distilled down this video says: Play the bass strings with your thumb and the other strings with the other fingers.

Dude, read the script next time.

I have received a wonderful comment from a Chinese boy.

He said, “congratulation Japan 10000 confirmed dead already and rising still."

I am very dissapointed with the comment. However, I want to believe that many Chinese people are praying for Japan. Thank you.

I actually learn a bit from these lessons. It isn't that they don't have the skill. Or the ability to teach. Why don't you guys make some longer videos?

[cocomaan]

I learned nothing from this video.

[rod1148]

A bit disappointing. Would have been better to actually teach a couple of patterns.

[NicholasGreen91]

Heres a nice point that he doesn't understand. Don't rest your pink on the damn body of the guitar. It makes you look so incredibly stupid.



[Zeokoz]

Well, thanks Steven..

[blyndt]

I want my 1:26 of youtube surfing back!! This was useless!

[TheDrbrill]

thanks!

[korkymuffin]

you need to break down the picking for us too learn . thanks gw

[khentimentu1]

"it's kinda like playing the piano with two hands" What?

[ecstatica23]

@khentimentu1 yeah that was a great example... these "how to videos" from "expert village" SUCK!!

[theguitarman53]

complete waste of time, what was his intensions

[HamburgClub]

@theguitarman53 hahahahaha

[3dees3]

He didn't teach anything :(

[VERB65]

This dickhead is a beginner teacher as well. He didn't teach anything, except how NOT to teach. Waste of time if u want to learn something.

[Singing4Guitar]

Hey, this video is great, if people want some similar videos, check out our videos as well.

Peace

[ChicanoFilms]

By that accent I wonder where you're . . . Wait let me guess . . . Bensonhurst?

[darcougar]

this is basically just some guy playing guitar, not really teaching....

nice song tho ill try to copy

[knaapie98]

bad

[aikido7]

Good general information but probably wouldn't be useful for the guitarist who wants to "get down to work."

Specific fingering, slowed waaaay down to be easily copied, would be more helpful for me.

[redD4Dworld]

This guy needs to slow down and break down the picking technique.

[ChillpointNews]

I think this video was great, not for beginners, but it gave me some new ideas of how to alternate base with a simple C-chord. So the title is very wrong, however, for someone who has the fingerpicking kind of clear to himself and other basics, this is a good video.

[xojbabyxo]

This is great..thank you!

[ghostchildd88]

How many of you actually picked up your guitars after this and practiced what you saw? Or at least tried to mimic what you heard?

Nothing is a waste of time and nothing is pointless...there's meaning in everything...and if your truly hungry to learn how to play..you should learn how to grab information from whatever you see...

[GhostFight3r]

I love those sounds, that's I always wanted a guitar. I didn't have one yet

[tommorgan20]

i agree with everyone else, this video was like kissing your sister(pointless)!!

[avennnged]

fuck that video is fucking pathetic, way to teach us something...

[kerumble]

"It's called folk because it sounds folksy, that why people call it folk". Nice.

Expert Village really does have some terrible videos done by total non-experts.

[joettagriggs]

Wow!...Ok. You alternate the bass and pick HOW with your left hand???!!! Man...YOU DID NOT SAY HOW TO PICK!!!!

[JordanMeAwesome]

Fuck now i'm going to go practise all i learned... >:(

[bobwillarthurmiller]

about as useful as a match in a light bulb factory

[greenday1997]

this video annoys the living daylights outve me, where did the "how to" go?!? i looked this up on expert village nothing there also. this should be called a chat about fingerpicking not how to, so damn annoying why waste a min talking about it and not showng maybe slow or close up. ridiculous

[outtriggers]

Nice video. Lol, it looks hilarious when you "discard" your pick and just toss it aside, like "I don't want no damn pick!". :D
