  • I'm a drummer. How the fuck do you guitarists memorize the chords. I remember them for like 5 minutes and then when I try to play a song I'm like "WTF WAS THE FINGERING FOR C# AGAIN?! AHHHH THIS IS TOO COMPLICATED"

    So I usually give up and pick up my drumsticks again. I want to learn guitar, but all the chords are killing me. They should make a guitar where all chords can be played like

    Because that's easy ^_^

  • @xFudgeSocietyx repitition. until you do it in your sleep.

  • Good video helped me but does anyone agree that the C F C G chords 1:44 don't work?

  • @SebestianGrove i think it works, depends how you use it. Although just have fun with it and make up your own pattern. Endless possibilities.

  • Playing by ear, to me, is a gift. Walt. Thank you for our courage, to do this video, both for using Mary... and for doing this. Some just need t awaken their talents. Can you do one on deciphering jazz chords or so-called alternate chording. Th major 7th's are easy to hear, then the m7b5's and 9th chords, and diminished. BUt what about those C7b9, Bb9#11. But you know what - you helped me resolve my own comment. Just keep at it, listen, even improvise, but primarily have FUN!! Gracias.

  • @tTheChief the chief!!!! haha oh, and play with other musicians too! we learn through each other

see all

  • @xFudgeSocietyx Haha same here, I am a drummer trying to learn how to play guitar too because I like both.

  • @xFudgeSocietyx you would be playing a power chord like that if that's tab. I believe that is F5 but I might be wrong about that.

  • @xFudgeSocietyx Play in drop tuning ;)

  • @xFudgeSocietyx maybe thats why your a drummer.... no but i remember in patterns, find what works for you

  • @xFudgeSocietyx i have to memorize guitar bass and sax lol

  • He kinda sounds like Shia la elf

  • i got u. thnx. it was v helpful

  • @xFudgeSocietyx i couldn help but see your comment one thing i reccomend is just an hour of practicing stumming patterns with the chords u r having problems with, but no matter what you do dont stop moving your fingers even if u mess up keep playing all the way through, it shuld help with the muscle memory

  • @SebestianGrove Agreed, the F just doesn't sound cool in it.
