u playing too much too soon

[ZamarGeetar]

@strings191 Yeah, there is a lot of material I'm trying to get across in a 10 minute video. I'd suggest using the pause button and rewind and just take in one chord voicing at a time. Also, you can get the tab and chord diagrams at the Lulu link shown just below the video.

@strings191 Go to my web site for free tab. ;-)

[wildwestpoint]

what do you call that kind of guitar?

[ZamarGeetar]

@wildwestpoint That would be an "archtop" guitar - specifically a Gibson L-5 Wes Montgomery model.

I want to warn some people with shorter fingers. It's quite difficult to difine "shorter fingers" but if you feel some stretches on the fingerboard are close to your limits then you better forget about those chords if you don't want to get tendonitis. I tried those "5 fret stretch" chords after playing guitar for years and after that I had to part with guitar for months because of the wrist injuiry. You either have to start quite early in your life of otherwise have rather long fingers!

[ZamarGeetar]

@VinniePaah Good advice - one should never over-stretch the fingers. However, a super light/relaxed touch, and exploration of shoulder, wrist, and hand positions - along with raising the guitar neck towards the head with the guitar resting on the elevated left leg (classical position) - will go along way in making these chords within reach of most players.

THANK YOU for making the chord video I've been searching for! I've been needing these chords for years and I feel like this is going to help me out a lot!!!

@johnericsantiago28 First you need to ask yourself what your goals are and shoot for them. If you are a beginner I advise you start with something challenging enough to keep your interest but easy enough not to discourage you. Learn something fun! Tabs are your key, they are great place to start, try websites like songsterr or ultimate guitar.

I broke three of my fingers trying to do these chords :-(
