    Hey! My name is Dave Donoghue and I am a Guitar teacher from Ireland
    The aim of these videos is to create Easy and Accurate Guitar Songs that you can play on guitar. I have many playlists that act as a collection of easy song lessons for beginners and intermediate players on guitar. These easy guitar tutorials contain open chords with strumming patterns! Whether or not you are into pop songs or you are here because you want to learn how to play easy guitar songs, I hope my collection of song lessons help you!
    When learning guitar, a lot of players are looking for easy guitar songs to strum but even if you have been playing a lot longer than that, then these lessons are still a good group of tutorials of easy guitar songs to sing and play. Although some songs were originally played on electric, they still make good beginner acoustic songs, many being easy songs in easy keys. I know with UA-cam there is so much to learn out there and you may be asking yourself "what is a super easy song to play on guitar"? , well I hope this channel will be built out over time to help serve your playing so be sure to subscribe for future uploads! ..and remember to get your free access to my tab and song sheet collection at theschoolofgui...

    In some chords we shouldn't play all the strings right ? Does that mean we should follow that criteria while also playing it for a random song ?

    • @TheSchoolOfGuitar
      @TheSchoolOfGuitar  5 місяців тому

      100% great insight and question! In general, you miss top string on E type chords, top 2 strings on A type chords, and top 3 strings on D type chords

    Sir I have recently started playing rumba/flamenco on my steel string guitar. As you know it requires fast strumming. So here’s my dilemma. I got adviced that I should play rumba on a classical guitar, as steel string guitar will get damaged with such fast strumming and my nail won’t last longer. Secondly can I use fake nails “finger picks” for rumba strumming on steel string guitar ? Kindly answer

    • @TheSchoolOfGuitar
      @TheSchoolOfGuitar  Рік тому +2

      Ooooh Thanks for your comment, I don't actually know, as I have no experience in rumba/flamenco, I would suggest you follow the advice for a couple of weeks and see how it works for you
