at times, when i play a note and i release, the note is kinda sustained

like when you touch a string, you hear a note

any way to fix this?

[guitarvoicing]

@jonathanpolkm To avoid sustained undesirable notes you can palm mute slightly with your right hand. It's also possible to mute the string with your left hand while playing. Either requires experience. Start with the right hand sinceit's easier.

what amp settings do you use please?

[guitarvoicing]

@jumper5971 There are not amps. I use a Line6 Pro and a preamp prosonus. I don't quite remember the settings but there is no real amp involved.

every time i try to switch from one note to another the previous note is immediately interrupted. can u help me out in finding what im doing wrong

[guitarvoicing]

sorry, I rarely log in here. Sebilba might be right. One thing however, even when playing really slowly, the pressing and releasing of the notes is quick. In the beginning is hard, but all will come together with time. I guarantee, just stick with it.

question....what do you do when your pinky DOESN'T WANNA BEND lol....my pinky doesn't want to leave home

[SanitiseYourMind]

I picked up a guitar 1 hour and half ago, and through your tutorials, can already play this :D

[rhysnickless]

Fantastic. I have only just got my first guitar and i have been attempting to learn some chords and put them to use. The wide majority of videos i view tend to be just people showing off instead of trying to teach the amateurs such as myself. Due to your excellent teaching style i have just played both the riffs you have shown and feel extremely motivated to continue playing the guitar! Thanks a lot and keep up the excellent teaching!

[BruceDavisCAL]

Nice job Gustavo. Simple riffs are fun to play when learning the guitar. they keep a new player interested as he goes through the often tedious drills of learning chords and practicing scales. You do a nice job of it. Keep it up!
