Absolutely love this! I'm been learning on my own for over a year and couldn't work out why I still didn't sound great! Thank you, the strumming video was so helpful too!
Thank you! Happy to help
thanks, very helpful
Great lesson. Thanks
Thanks for the great tips.
These are great instructions for improving
Please upload more vidoes, it is quite helpful.
thank you so very much! both this and the picking video fixed the exact issues I was having :)
You're welcome!
Thank u man
Great lesson, thank you so much. All these little tips are a great help
Thanks! Glad It was helpful
Nice to be aware of all these tips when playing. Thanks for pointing these out clearly.
You're welcome!
I love your calm soothing voice 👍
Great tips; thank you! Really appreciate the advice on elbow position. I've been playing acoustic for several years now and noticed a bad habit of letting my elbow drift too far from my torso; especially when trying to get all my fingertips pinned (another of your tips) on a 4-fingered G chord. Paying more attention now to elbow position and it really pays off. Getting more leverage on my bar chords now, so am able to hit them cleaner on fast transitions. Thanks very much for the video. Greatly appreciated!
Yeah, elbow can really mess everything up.
Thanks for your comment!
I'm so interested with all your lessons. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank you for sharing the fundamental knowledge every teacher should teach their students before touching any strings.
Great video clearly with years of practical learning shared in a very didactic way.
I would recommend to explore more the muting processes connected with the classic major chords as well.
Thank you again and look forward for more lessons to consume and practice (and buy!)
Thanks a lot. Glad you are enjoying our content. More will come for sure!
that thumb location on barre chords is interesting never noticed it but defnitely guilty of it if moving hand towards me. sanding the neck back down helps some
Great stuff!
Thanks!
Thank you sir.
You're welcome!
This has got to be the best tutorial I have ever watch. I make all these mistakes over a song and didn't know how to fix it . At least I could hear it and was wondering , what's going on . 😘 thanks very much
Thanks a lot!
Sir, can you also make tutorial on how to fix the guitar with rod(given). I read instructions and did my guitar but nothing much changed. Can't hold bar chords properly because of that.
Hi! You are a great teacher. Do you give private online lessons too?
Thanks a lot!
Yeah, i do, you can contact me by IG @londoarcher or email londoarcher@gmail.com
Your videos are saving my life 😅
Glad to help!
Another problem I have found is bending the strings which causes one of the notes to go out of tune with the others. This is particularly easy to do with the more harder to play chords. Similar problem I get is with my electric guitar that has deeper frets so when I push the string down to the wood, I get dissonance again - I have to be careful to not push all the string down hard and thus stretch the string out of tune. Some chords seem worse than others like D for example.
Haha, i was going to talk about this problem in the video first, but then realized the video would be too long.
But yea, once you realize you dont really need to apply almost any force while frettingz it becomes much better
@@first_fret Thanks. A subject you maybe able to help us with bar chords. I really struggle not to get buzz because I have a gap under my first finger. Ir is especially bad when I only have 2 other fingers used such Gm on the 3rd fret. I have tried all sorts of positions with my first finger and have tried changing the angle to use more of the side but it is always a challenge. Any tips for your subscribers would be very helpful.
@@Engmaths101 really hope they address this. I have many friends my age who have enlarged finger joints and thin fingers. Have seen pads that can be worn to fill, but they are cumbersome.
I cant sing song with straming. Please make a video in it
What is actually hard is making the mistake if you're used to the right way lol
nice guitar..
Yeah, love it too
I'm still making this mistake even though I know I shouldn't be, probably just need to practice slower then speed up everytime I get the hang of it
Thanks 14:56 my thumb is sore every day
Thanks, although I was taught by a professional classical guitarist that you shouldn't wrap your thumb over the top of the guitar-neck!
If you're playing classic music on classical guitar, then yeah - you probably shouldn't play that way.
However, If we're talking bout blues or classic rock - thats the best way to do it
My rule of thumb is that I’ll play the song however the original artist did, this way you cant sound wrong! Also with you being called Stevie Ray I would’ve expected you to be partial to barre chords with the thumb over haha
It depends on what your style is. Most rock guitarists won't play with the pinky (and cannot if they wrap the thumb around to put it on the sixth string for muting). For any style of music, the thumb classical style is best unless the thumb is desired to mute the sixth string.
@@KaptainCanuck My fingers are on the short side! That's one reason I gave up on learning the piano as a kid!
@@stevie-ray2020 Play the "baby" Grand. ha ha
when i play melodies my right hand sometimes hits the wrong string
We'll make a video about it at some point
Missed a VERY important mistake: failing to mute unplayed strings. As you see him playing his D chord, he mutes the E and A string. With muting you eliminate accidentally sounding strings (forgiving when sloppy or lazy strumming) even with precise strums, stings will resonate even when not struck.
Pretty sure i covered it in some other video. But yeah, should definitely do it
@@first_fret 1st video I’ve watched but glad you have that somewhere.
I wanted to see if the annoyance was here, as well, and it is. I got far enough to make a technical note for guitarists: the fret and fret wire are NOT the same thing. A fret wire is the metal piece crossing the fretboard. The fret is the wide space on the fretboard between the fret wire and does not include the said wire.
Tx, will know now
Ps I think I love you 😍 ❤️
