Because i had previously spent a lot of time mastering Dust In The Wind....which is the exact (travis-picking) style, I learned how to play the song almost instantly. By learning that song I think it really opened me up to learning Guaranteed so quickly.

[lizardo7777777]

I learned this song in two stages. The first stage was learning the chords in order with quick transitions quickly strumming as fast as I could. I think I had it pretty good after about an hour or so. The second stage was learning the finger plucking.

i only capo because i tuned my guitar down a half step, sometimes i play like that depending on my vocals. But the song is in standard, which is achieved when i put the capo on first fret

I really can't push the 1 and 2 fret at the same time, my hands are too small, how can i solve that problem ?

[lizardo7777777]

@Nuclearshell It's funny that you say that because my hands are considerably smaller than that average person's. It took me a full year to be able to press down a F major chord barred without having that horrible buzzing sound.

My best advice is to practice just that one chord and force your hand through the cramping and pain in ten minute intervals, resting before trying again. Do this for a half hour of so. I (guarantee) it, you will see results in 3 days. Put in the hard work and let me know

[lizardo7777777]

the best advice i can offer for developing finger plucking is to learn three different songs...first is Babe Im Gonna Leave you by Led Zeppelin, Dust in the Wind by Kansas, and Nothing Else Matters by Metallica...im sure other ppl have many great songs that have developed skills for themselves. But I started with those and from there it makes it easier to learn songs like this one...which is considerably easier than the aforementioned songs...good luck

Wow, nice voice!!!

[anaalvocht]

Your a ginger right.

Great lesson. I have no problem with F barre chords, but for some reason I find it very difficult to barre the b and e strings alone...can I just barre them all?

[TheWolfDogMoon]

great
