    The thing is that 10 minutes of very focused slow practice will yield results very quickly. I do it on everything I’m trying to improve on - it’s the best kept secret.

    1. use a thin pick 0:35
    2. understand how to count 3:06
    3. watch the free video series on strumming 4:10-4:44
    4. go slow to go fast (practice slowly without chords) 4:50

    Erich, thanks for being specific with pick recomendations and the idea behind thickness. I had come to this conclusion without any recommendations, but you have refined and reinforced. The 5 level picking exercises are money, you can use some of these to play your favorite songs providing variety.

    Thank you for breaking this down. Muting the strings with your fretting hand really is helping me with new patterns, including mixing in a little quarter note passage between chords, with the frets muted, just to get the rhythm and pattern combination down. Plus, you can practice it practically any time of day or night, without waking the household!

    Origin of strum
    1765-1775; perhaps blend of string and thrum

    You decide Erich!!!!!
    I DO NOT HAVE A GUITAR but I purchased your Complete Guitar System you had on SPECIAL anyway. I am not in a financial position to purchase a guitar but I was being Proactive so that when I am able to get (OR WIN) a guitar I will be ready to start learning right from the get-go with the best online teacher--Yes Erich you. I love watching your videos and learning from them even though I don't have a guitar yet. Please Erich you have the ability to make me a very grateful and happy person. I COULD REALLY MAKE GOOD USE OF THAT EPIPHONE GUITAR and your UNSTOPPABLE GUITAR SYSTEM!!! I am trying to recover from a surgery that went very wrong leaving me with paralysis in my left leg. I believe that MUSIC IS A GREAT HEALER so I would be extremely grateful if you choose me as one of the WINNERS. Learning to play the guitar would very much help me by taking my mind off what has happened and letting me focus on my dream of learning to play the guitar. Best Wishes and Happy Holidays to you and your family--that includes your pets as they are definitely part of the family.
    Hope to hear from you real soon with some great news!!!!!!! Thanks for all you do.

    YGS, I have been only recently stated the “first 30” lessons and YOU, my friend are not only a master, but as I’m 41, you have inspired me to keep trying. I have attempted to take up the guitar several time and get into a rut, and believe I’m not getting anywhere, so give up. Doing the first 30 I feel I’m making progress consistently. If I were to win, would really love to be taking the rest of your lessons. As it would change my life more than it already has. As for the guitar, well I live in Australia, and have purchased an acoustic guitar already, so I would ask that you donate it to a deserving less fortunate person, in the hopes that taking up the guitar would change their life as well. Keep up the great vids an mentoring!

    i wish all the experts would get together and agree on pick thickness- many say thicker equals more quality tone and less pick click. sure thinner are easier to play but would you do all that clicking in a studio?
    thanks for your lessons- ive watched many over the past few years - you are very talented

    • @yourguitarsage
      @yourguitarsage  5 років тому

      Most do agree. Thicker picks for single notes and electric playing. Thinner for big strumming and acoustic playing. But for tone it’s what is right to YOUR ears. Thanks for the kind words my friend. 🙏

With the only link being "Forgot Password". I waited awhile for an email that would give me some access, but nothing. So now I suppose I'll be getting spammed.

    Ah, man...It makes me smile, listening to your rant about strumming.... Muted strings, counting, being content while playing at a slower tempo...I bet you 95% of novice guitarists won't be able to resist the urge/impulse to rush the process and delay their progress by years, because of it...If only they knew how wise your words are...I have been playing almost a year now and what really opened the doors for me was endlessly strumming along to tunes in my listening repertoire until I got from being perhaps the dimmest guitarist on earth to a guy who can pick up the rhythm parts of 80% (seems like, anyway) of pop tunes almost in a single sitting. The other thing I do is focusing on the hard parts, learning them at as slow a tempo as needed to get it down right and work up to speed rather than rush it and pick up bad habits that will hinder my development...Hey, it only took failing miserably at least half a dozen times at learning the guitar over a 30 year span to finally get it through my thick skull that there was a reason I always quit and could never play a full song... hope this commentary is taken to heart by a few 15-year-olds in a hurry to wind up like this 55-year-old who wasted so many years of sheer enjoyment before he finally got the message and took his time to appreciate the ride instead of always anticipating the thrill the destination supposedly would bring...
