    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 theschoolofguitar.com/songlib...

    You forgot to tell people this technique requires a bit of finesse. If you pull your guitar like that you make the neck bend backwars which will make your chord go sharp depending how much u pull. Sometimes you see some guitarists do it as a vibrato effect by pulling on the neck. So the advice I could give is to practice to do this technique with the least amount of effort to make the barre chord ring out nicely. That will be the point where you dont pull too hard but still can make the chord sound clean.

    Good suggestion. Another would be to play fewer strings. If you're playing the E shape barre just play the top 5 strings. Trick question: how many G notes do you need to make a G chord? 2 are probably plenty. Better yet, triads are a better option. It all depends on the sound you're trying to get

    • @TheSchoolOfGuitar
      @TheSchoolOfGuitar  2 місяці тому

      Yeah I hear ya, here are 3 more things that could help your hand cramps:
      1. Use lighter strings to begin (10 gauge)
      2. Learn the G major barre chord first
      3. Put a capo on the 1st fret to add some extra pushing onto the strings..
      ..then do this video exercise, and piece by piece work on it, remove the capo when you feel ok to do so.
      These will help build small wins but build up bigger belief. You got this.
      Get on it and drop me an email at dave@theschoolofguitar.com in 30 days to let me know your progress.
      You got this!

    Making sure that the clearance of the strings from the fretboard is not too high is a great help. (Some people call this the ‘action’). Don’t buy a guitar if it is too high; if you do have one then carefully filing the piece that holds the strings away from the fretboard can help
