    Rick,
    I'm 67 now and I started playing guitar at the age of 13 in 1965. I've played a lot of gigs and recording sessions over those years.
    Finding you on UA-cam has been a real pleasure. I enjoy your unending enthusiasm and knowledge for all things music and your desire to pass
    it it on. In particular this a great lesson and illustrates that there is always more to learn about the guitar.
    All the best,
    Joe H.

    Hi Rick,
    I've been watching your videos for months now and they are great fun. Just wanted to send you this message although I don't know why. ;)
    I'm now 58 years old and I have been playing piano/organ/synths since I was 7. I even had a record contract in the damp deep 80ies but unfortunately nothing came out of that(you also need luck to make it in the music business...). I picked up a little bit of strumming on the acoustic guitar since I was around 20 years old but just enough to accompany myself when singing in a local pub. ;)
    About 5 years ago I swapped the keyboards for electric guitar because I really wanted to learn a new instrument. Been playing for hours every day and I even got my ol' Daion acoustic guitar out of the cupboard again. I took no lessons as it is very hard over here in The Netherlands to find a teacher who can deal with someone who already knows how to play music. I find that most of your lessons on how to play guitar are really useful for me. That's no surprise coming from a music teacher such as yourself of course but still; I learn more from these videos than I would taking lessons in real life.
    I just watched this video and it is great fun to discover that I can already play these picking techniques. So this turned out to be a turn on for me even though I did not learn anything from this vid I learned about what I already know and it's great to get that kind of confirmation.
    Keep it up, it's great to hear someone with so much experience talk about music! And I'll get the Beato Book in the coming weeks. Or maybe a modes-mug, to amaze my friends and pretend I know all about those things. :)
    All the best,
    Rob.

      Yeah, that's the one that pulled me into fingerstyle, Kerry Livgren's signature tune. Next was Freight Train by Elizabeth Cotten. Then I went head long into Paul Simon, some Stephen Stills, and Jorma Kaukonen. Chet Atkins and Lenny Breau later. - There's just so many great players, old and new, to learm from.

I've heard it played a hundred different ways by a so many great players, and every one is a treat. I've got a number of different unique ways I've come up with myself, varying in level of ornamentation, which I use to mix it up when I play it. - It's a fun little piece for sure.

  • @KeolaDonaghy

    Rick, this is absolutely awesome! I've had a handful of (sometimes quirky) fingerpicking patterns that I figured out myself early on and never really got beyond those. I've been bored with them for years but never really made an attempt to find something that worked better. A few hours spent with this video and I have a bunch of highly usable ones that I am able to immediately integrate into my current repertoire. It's feels like a massive upgrade with just a few new tricks. Mahalo!

    I just started play guitar, even though I'm 30 years old and it's hard. I played piano when I was 13, but I got a serious disease and I never started to play an instrument again, now I'm "okay", still not cured, but I want to enjoy playing music, but I struggle to even skip between chords at the moment. I hope some day I will able to play this patterns.

    • @andreeadobre3190
      @andreeadobre3190 4 роки тому +1

      I'm 29 and never touched a guitar before I got my first this year (then second, oops, haha). I have the same problem, I get chords right super fast but it takes forever to switch them. Loving it anyway. Sorry for your health problem, hope you find a way to enjoy the instrument regardless! Good luck!!

    • @gilhockman2957
      @gilhockman2957 4 роки тому

      I also started really late. My method for learning chords is to pick two chords (eg D and G) and set my timer for 5min and just go back and forth between them. I just do that two or three times a day and slowly it improves. When those chords are good I'll add in another one or learn a song with a new chord and just practice the changes in the same way. I don't stress too much about how good I am on any particular day, I just make sure I put in the time. It always comes right in the end (even if some difficult chords can take a few weeks or even months).

    • @cactustactics
      @cactustactics 4 роки тому

      fingerpicking can actually help if you think about it - you don't need to have the chord ready all at once for a strum, you just need each string to be ready when you pick it! but just practicing chord changes over and over is good, it's hard at first but you develop muscle memory and it just gets a bit easier
      fingerpicking's cool though, a lot of the difficulty is just getting used to the pattern of movement, it's a bit like a tongue twister for fingers. Once it clicks it sounds really nice and impressive, and you can use any chords you want under it! Even just a couple of fingers and open strings, and a capo will give you even more open string possibilities. If you have trouble with chords, this ain't a bad thing to learn

    • @georgeibison1029
      @georgeibison1029 4 роки тому

      Man just practice the motion of switching, without using your strumming hand at all, and go from one to the next then back to the first. That way youre practicing in both direction.

  • @stevefulnecky4563
    @stevefulnecky4563 4 роки тому +1

    This is great, esp. the Scarborough Fair lick. I wish I'd seen it in 1966 or 67?. It would have saved me about 6 hours of fumbling around in E- at the 7th fret. Of course, you were only in about 2nd grade then, and Paul Simon didn't show people that much. It's harder to get off of a record. The Gibson sounds great..maybe it's the mic I like? For the interested, the little finger, used only in rasqueado, is called the "e" finger ( short for meninque - hope I've spelled it correctly ). Juan Martin publishes a nice flamenco method which goes WAY deeper than most Americans can read or have time for...also, Paco de Lucia videos are still on the Internet and show really unbelievable flamenco right hand stuff. It's not the same as a classical right hand ( i.e. Segovia technique ) in which the ( right ) wrist is much higher, the elbow is BEHIND the purfling sitting on the SIDE of the lower Bout of the guitar, not hitting the top where it interferes with top vibration ( and changes the angle of the fingers to the strings ). This can be seen on most classically trained guitarists ( for instance: John Williams, Chris Parkening, David Russell, Oscar Ghiglia, Scott Tennant, Julian Bream, Sharon Isben, and on and on. I even think Mick Goodrick uses this ). Hope you have a nice winter down there in Atlanta..not sub zero as it's likely to hit up in the Ohio Valley here.

    And then, I come back home, Christmas tomorrow, but all I want is my acoustic guitar. And so it happens you made a video on fingerpicking for acoustic guitar, specifically.
    Honestly, it's the most complete channel I found on UA-cam.
