[macdaddy461]

@MrBattleGuitar hellow your asking what x02220 means , its the finger postion for A magor chord, the x means dont strum. thickest stringE THE 0 MEANS ITS A OPEN STRING. the guitar is made up of frets the matal tabs going down the guitar 222 means u put you 123 fingers on those strings in the secound fret of the guitar, 0 means open string hope that helps u

[ALI10171]

i well try to do it

but thank you Dived for anything

[ardeemo]

nice one nowitzki!! xD

[U2ROCKSS]

thank you!

[evewin89]

u r a very good teacher. thanks man. u explain everything very well. but i still have to purchase my 1st acoustic guitar. "i'm from india" any tips u wanna give.?

[golu3990]

@evewin89 find a guitar that is easy to hold (is not too thick for you etc) and play, holds tune over time and over the fretboard and most importantly SOUNDS GOOD.. since it is your first guitar, you should probably buy a local one (would cost you around Rs 3000- 3500)

Thanks

[Kryolyte]

@evewin89 Buy an M.Biswas Topaz Steel String. Model Number 265. Very good choice for your first Acoustic guitar.

[TosinAlagbe]

Dis guy is a really good lesson teacher

[neaandrei]

I LOVE YOU !

[razc22]

[Liekefriet]

Ok, but can someone explain me how to strum upwards without a pick? Cause with a pick it's so loud, and some songs I want it tuned down

[Deekonmix23]

Hands up to the best guitarist on the internet!!!

[93saintjimmy]

[L0giK101]

"WAZZUPP~"



[yeahbabyitslaura]

Thanks, this video has helped me :]

[sharpshooterstarget]

every time when i come up on strum my finger's catch the high e grrrrrrrr am i hitting too hard maybe?

[Uttersoppa]

I dont know why, but i just cant strum with a pick. its completely impossible for me. Strumming with my hands are just fine. but if i use a pick i either get stuck on the first string i hit or the pick just bounces out of my hand. i have no fucking idea how to strum with a pick, and i hate since ive been playing guitar for about 1 year now ><

[Nightw0lf75]

@Uttersoppa if you're having problems with holding the pick, try to find soeone or a video that shows you how to hold the pick properly, and how to move your arm at the elbow and your hand at the wrist, it'll help you with overcoming that.

[wafaethel]

can i have ur guitar? mine is broken.ahaha!! anyway.. nice tutorials..

[Bikofree2]

I love the way this guy teaches, he makes this a lot of fun.

[beccalailah]

[CerknoBoys]

WazzaP. :D

[smileyfacefreak645]

[zhaoqiwei51]

[askyurself]

can't.... keep up.... hahahah

[The1Bigmama]

ur slow is way to fast for me X). But I realy ned to learn diffrent strummings so Ill try to watch it over and over anyways. Co its ard to find just strumming lessons X)

[assholeyeng]

WWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAZZZZZAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

[minsoomin1]

thx very much. its a good start

[Roddykay]

thanks for the video. my strumming sucks i do not hit the strings evenly. how can i fix? cheers

[12conk17]

David you rock I have been taking lessons but your info is fun to learn and has totally got me hooked

[Phenylbutanol]

I'm really happy I came across this video. I learnt something new ^^

However 2 things are bothering me: I can't mute the E string because my hands are too small, I can't 'wrap' them around the fretboard like he does :(

Also, it just sounds like poop, probably need to tune the guitar and not mess up cuz sometimes it sounds even worse after my tuning attempt :')

[MrFraserAnderson]

when i wanted beginners lessons i meant BEGINNERS lessons

saying that how the A major chord is X02220 means nothing to me!

wtf is X02220????

[FullyAliv]

@MrFraserAnderson lol I said the same thing bro. But if you pause the video and hold up your guitar to the screen you can match up the strings with the numbers on the screen. The X is where is ment mute at, so don't play it. The 0 is a open string, so don't place a finger on it. The number is the fret (starting with the one closest to the top as 1) you place your finger on the fret number he put up.

Type "how to read guitar tabs" in google and pick the first choice.

[TheUniversecode]

thank u so much for your clear explanation how to strum guitar. you are very good music instructor sir! elvie from philippines

[AtopaSky]

we can compromise or configure all that is taught to us. ( keep that in mind) but these guys are just freaking great at explaining things. I recommend this site for all new guitar players. even when it comes to advanced and even pro... these guys have it all. I love it. very easy to understand explanaitions for for any song.... that is priceless

[CostaLottaMoney1]

really liked this video man, very helpful

[Tortchclaw]

WAAASSSUUUUP!!!

[mycarpultunnel]

this guy looks like a wigger...

[bSublime187]

@mycarpultunnel

So let me get this right, just because his hat is backwards he automatically looks like a "wigger?"

When i see a 40 year old scruffy dude with blue jeans and a black T shredding a guitar... one of the last categories i would characterize him in is a wigger

you people are funny

[Se7enElement]

Straight forward and informational...cool

[A55K1KKR]

what was that website called again m8??

[turkmencobra]

love youuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Savior8181]

im so guitarded lol

[SmileWhileDrifting]

How should I put my fingers if I don't have a pick ? I mean to can sing like you...

[Tortchclaw]

@SmileWhileDrifting i wish the guitar would just come with a pick. I mean, i already spent enough money already XD doesnt matter how cheap picks are, i dont wanna spend anything else.

[MatchBoxManiac]

@Tortchclaw lol totally agree!!!! seeing as the picks so cheap it shouldn't be a problem :)
