    Im 44 and started playing guitar when I was 13. Everything I learned was by memory. I never took the time to 'learn guitar". I put the guitar down about 10 years ago when my 1st kid was born. But last week I decided to open the guitar case for the first time in a decade. Now, I really want to learn the guitar. Learn it properly. So I've been binge watching and practicing you over the past week. I really appreciate your taking to time to make these. I'll be purchasing your book.

    Even, Angry, Dogs, Get, Bones, Eventually……….I taught myself the fret board pretty quickly by learning where all the A BC D are located. Then I drew a full size fret board, made lots of copies of it and then filled in the blanks. And, I always speak the note names when I play scales. I’m a retired airline pilot. We learn how to simplify complicated materials and then smash those numbers, acronyms and mandatory memory items into our heads. Every time you move to a new jet, the process begins anew and never ends…There will be a test😅

    What you have just done is to give me the best reason to memorize the fret board. Your explanations of how to go about this incredible feat. It is the best example I have ❤heard since I picked up a
    guitar at age 71 to teach myself how to play chords and songs. I am now 79, but here I am with you making sense to me so far on being able to perhaps learn the notes on the fret board. Most other so-called guitar guru's said that, as long as you can find the A note, the rest will happen like magic 🎩 😮😅😢! So I have now found you that I am in hopes that you can say some magic words, so I can peace together the rest.
    Does that sound easy enough for you to explain things to me. Now, I am a LEFT-handed player. My right hand is my fretting hand.
    I can play roughly 250 songs using chords. But I want to be able to play up and down the fret board like a pro. Keep it simple and understandable. Thanks so much. I will SUSCRIBE to you and be able to learn from you. This is no joke. You can laugh now if need be.😅😂

    I just started writing things out on fretboard diagrams last week before hearing of your channel this week. Before I even saw this video I had proved to myself that plotting chords, I would find with my ear, onto a fretboard diagram made the imaginary connection of all the notes into a solid thing I could see in a logical manner then apply. I prefer to write tunes using my ear to guide me at first then I can grab my own handwritten diagrams to fill in the blanks, see if there’s anything interesting diatonically, or search for chords I’ve found in that key (or transpose my chords into the new key). Writing it out does technically add another step in the composition process, but I can already tell that by writing it out I eventually won’t have to. Thanks for the videos

    I'm an old gezzer who is just starting in music. I'll blame it on boredom. My fat fingers could not handle the fret board on a guitar, so I just purchased a Baritone Ukulele. It has more space on the fret board, so even I should be able to handle that. NOT!!! I am putting my hand in awkward angles, but I still can't fret triple finger cords. Do you know of a method to get my fingers more vertical on the fret board? Maybe old people can't bend that last knuckle enough? Help!

      Just watch your wrist and how you're holding your arm. Angles of arm and wrist make a difference. Relax your fingers or they'll cramp up and make it harder to change chords. It'll get better. Just enjoy the new hobby.

      Technically a power chord is a dyad made of a root and 5th but you can play more strings and double roots and 5ths. Then you can get silly and invert the 5th into a 4th…it depends how heavy you want them to sound!
