Learning the 4 basic chords

[To0onY92]

what's the tuning of the guitar??!!

[meltie007]

So I haven't even got my first guitar yet but I know I'll be able to play a bit as I've practised all this on my iPhone app (I know it's not the same but it gives me a rough guide lol). Thanks loads! :)

[ilyMusic7]

Helps alot! Thank you! :D

[xmiostrx]

i dont know why but i have a first act (crapy i know) and it sounds different and i touch other strings while playin i dont know why but i just cant grasp on to it andlearn that way.

[Dinosauh]

I'm just learning guitar today and this helped me a ton load ! Thanks a lot (:

[Teresa16395]

Thnakyou so much! your a great teacher lol

[IntoxicatedRanger]

erm hi do you have any tips to change to the other chords quicker

[MrCarliso1]

Thank you . My son is learning guitar at age 9 and this is very clear. Of course I am learning too ... I play bass (by ear) so this is a learning curve for me too. To people like you who give their time and skills .... it is much appreciated.

[goodier100]

great, thanks

[gmansayswtf]

this has been really helpful.

Thanks.

[twisterellafell]

[tamtam1196]

[punkshan91]

tHAnx i jUSt bOUghT a guitAr YEstErdAy It's YAMAHA GuiTAr :D

[krisroks117]

@punkshan91 very impressive guitar my friends dad has one and he taught me the A and E Chords the first lesson and the D Chord the next lesson, he said i was natural at picking up the beat i did notice however i had different finger placement than in the video but i was told it doesnt matter as long as they are in the correct frets, is that correct?

[Cleanercup]

Whats the name of the song? everly brothers something? Help.

[actorchild]

@Cleanercup It sounds like "dream" but Im not positive

[dhollah]

what is the title of the song??

[LeylaCharlotte]

Ouch, my fingers! That hurts!

But this video is really helpful, thank you!

[krisroks117]

@LeylaCharlotte it takes some getting used to our fingers will start to callous and then you will barely feel the strings its natural to feel a little burn or sting while first starting.

[alonsoalex321]

Amazing video after hours of searching this is was the only helpful one thanks!

[shockingalternative]

you are just charming; i love your accent and the way you teach guitar!

[sam171615]

what song is this?

like with lyrics?

[fred30680]

That was great tune, I have not heard that in years. Why is it most of the time when someone teaches a song they only teach about a 1/4 of the song ? I can play parts of Wild wood flower , Tennessee flat top box.

[XxstephinaxX]

ooo momy its hurt x'D

[XXTWISTEDELEGANCEXX]

its a pain to name the strings like you do.most people learn that the 1st string is e low then so on and it takes a while to get used to it.idk if its different on acoustic but yeah just saying.

[killallmods]

fuuuck my fingers hurt!! lol

[milkotodorov]

This is so good.. You explain very nicely :) What is your name? You probably have a learning series which I want to find!

[elladude101]

Yeyyy i can play guitarr!!

[elladude101]

Im hopless i cant play guitar =(

It wrecks my fingers and it doesnt even sound right!

[zfdtscsfxdsxgt]

dont give up your fingers will hurt only in the 1st month keep practising u cant even imagine how good is to hear urself playing music....i am learner too btw :)

[afrosamurai22]

Heh, yeah it'll only hurt for a bit, but once you develop callouses on your fingertips, it'd be better. : )

[hippymonster1]

i cant hear a word ur saying!!!!

Speak up old man!!!!

[tazandgabsshow]

i lost it half way through :(

[miiiiiniiiiienxD]

Well, I'm too slow xD

I can't follow, with the song, but it's GREAT, dude! (:

[MCR51192]

This video is a great help! I just bought a guitar today and had to wait till my next lesson to start playing, but thanks to this I already learned something really useful. Thanks

[RandomRandy420]

Good video thanks. My fingers are too fat.

[mac2097]

[Xatruch702]

[cptrascal]

[paytdawg]

[paytdawg]

thanks!

[RoseRunner]

bought my first guitar last night. this video is so much easier than the other ones on here because of the multiple camera views, plus the slow paced explanations of each chord. this should hold me over until i can have my first private lessons in a week. thanks!!!

[m0rb1dnightmare]

dammit...his guitar is tuned too high cause i just tuned mine, and it sounds like its a whole or half STEP up from E

[simran7866]

[zazzidog]

brilliant!

[PeperMinty]

im am doing thr fingers correct but it doesnt sound like the vid what am i doing worng ? :(

[fav1987]

maybe it's ur tuning

[Seulwoo]

simply u gotta press down the strings very hard with tip of your finger so that u won't press other strings

[fav1987]

maybe it's the tuning of ur guitar PeperMinty

[helvete111]

Hehe same here :)

[sundaeg1rl]

Mine neither. I just tuned my guitar too. I think it's because I'm using electric

[Triptych7397]

@PeperMinty maybe ur guitar is out of tune or not in tune like his

[PeperMinty]

finlly spent 4 ever trying to find were i could learn basic cords O.O

[youdestroyme]

yeah just like he said, go slowly at first because your not gonna be able to play it as fast as he is playing in the video.. just start off slow and start to speed up a little once you got the fingering down..

[janeleone]

THank you so much for helping me with the beginning chords! How much money do I owe you?

[fav1987]
