Letters, numbers, frets, etc. I feel like I will never learn to play. And how do you know how to strum or pick? Oh boy....

[jaidemm]

Bought my first acoustic guitar yesterday. I am very intimidated and a little scared. It all seems so confusing. For instance, I see people asking "G is 320033". I am very confused about the letters and numbers.

[budgiematt]

[tsflooder]

[saint2435]

[geo0119]

[PurpleFlurp13]

[ttoxin23]

Very nice, I learned from this!

[MehJester]

I picked up a guitar for the first time today and i'm buying one tomorrow,thanks for the lesson my rock arsenal is Growing :)!

[darrenvox]

[FlawlessMeh]

GOSH YOU GUYS ARE FREAKKING AWESOME..

[JROCK255]

hey guys is it possible for u guys to teach how to play guitar and sing at the same time id really appreciate if u can id love that

thnx a student on his way to success :P

[guitarboy32]

Hey David, I've been playing for about three years and I've hit a plateau and I don't seem to be getting any better, is there anything you would recommend for this?

[onebigbush]

Wow that Jennifer is a damn good guitar player liked her freebird video. where was she when when i was single.

[BeeRock200]

very basic strum pattern but it does help the beginners quite a bit, actually i use that strum pattern to play Karma Police by Radiohead, well for the most part :)

[sangolt88]

Ahh I get it, G - major... :)

[sangolt88]

G is 320033?

I thought it was 320003...

[rockongoodpeople]

Both are G chords - in one your are playing the D note twice the other you play the B note twice. G major is made of a root, 3rd, and 5th or G, B, and D notes. ROck on!

DT

[somos17]

"sangolt88" 320033 and 320003 is the same thing, that extra "3" is a "D" and its not realy necessary becouse you allready have a "D". You can play eather way you want, they fits in diferent songs :) You can play "C":

"332010" or "x32010" Its the same thing :) and btw, I think that "G" and "G-major" is the same thing, but Im not sure. BYE!!!!

[Biskviit]

Great lesson!

[WatchStation]

Thanks for teaching me like guitar chords & strum patterns.

[WatchStation]

Am, C, G, D Change d, d, d, u Song What Goes Around Comes Around By Justin Timberlake

When i had just played for some weeks i coud play that. It's easy and it sound beutiful.

[mannyichi]

Cool Vid!!! ^_^

[zuneluvr]

great lesson. ur lessons are the reason i started playing

[Moviegod37]

Damn. How many idiots got all excited that they had the first comment... Anyway, nice lesson. I teach some lessons as well and a lot of the beginning students have trouble getting comfortable strumming, and keeping the pattern uninterrupted while they change chords. I'll have to have them check out these exercises!

[shadowx209x]

1st

[adwhyte]

you are a class teacher man. fair play to you.

I'm just starting out, i think i'm a little past this level but you are personable and explain everything well. Thanks again

[Colderlink]

WOOO NOT FIRST COMMENT.

Thanks For The LEsson, helpful indeed.

[bigbplaya]

you guys make probably some of the most personable and understandable lessons out there. however i miss the old lessons where you just taught a plethora of songs. but i understand why you had to stop those. keep on rocking!

[Stratomacaster]

Good video.

What's under the hat Dave?

[Wesley730]

wow, sorry, but i don't how to read that [tab?] for the g chord. you know the 6 numbers? I literally just started acoustic and don't know what they mean can anyone help me with that?

[tjagad15h]

I think the numbers are the fret numbers for each of the 6 strings. So if the number is 321002 it means 1st string 3rd fret, 2nd string 2nd fret, 3rd string 1st and 0 means dont press it. I hope i got that right.

[toddastewart]

do you guys have a sweep picking lesson?? i can do the 5 string Am arpeggio. just wondering if you guys can give me some helpful hints,techniques, idea?? anything would be great. I can do it i just need to learn so more figures/Shapes. Thanks hope you can help!

[gutarkd]

woo first comment ill be sure to teach my dad this stuff thanks guys
