I don't know why they do it. How much extra can it cost to put another strap buttong on?! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

It's quite tricky at first but once you can wrap your head around the fact that the Low E string is the bottom line that's a good start. Basically the numbers represent the frets your fingers need to press down on. The thing about tab is that it doesn't tell "what" fingers to use, unlike chord diagrams. But with a bit of time they get easier to use.

So glad it's helped you. How long have you been playing?

I'm glad it helped you! Fingerstyle playing is such a valuable addition to your guitar technique repertoire!

Thanks so much for subscribing, much appreciated. Barre chords seem to be every learner's nemesis but they're not impossible. They just take a bit of time, patience and a hell of a lot of persistance! I've got a playlist of lessons related to barre chords here: kzbin.info/aero/PLeaRVM-30iorb5dSug88Lm281LuLEZCfu Take it slow and steady with those chords but if you keep on keeping on, you will eventually get it. Let me know how you get on and thanks for watching and taking some time to comment.

@ Thank you!

Good question! The version of "F" I'm using is an easier version and also works better for this type of playing. The barre chord can be a little difficult for starter guitarists and also doesn't give the right sound for this type of technique. Have you been playing long?

Thank

You're very welcome! Thanks for watching! Which "secret" was the most helpful for you?

That's a great tip about Chordify! Thanks for sharing. So many beginners quit within a year because they don't realise that it takes time and a lot of practice. How long have you been playing. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

You're very welcome! How long have you been playing?

HI there. I'm not sure what you want to know about my nails and which hand are you talking about, my right or left hand? In general on my fretting hand I try to keep my nails as short as possible because if they are too long they often dig into the fretboard and that feels very uncomfortable hand. On my right hand, my picking/strumming hand, I keep them slightly longer as I enjoy playing fingerstyle a lot. Hope this is helpful. Have you been playing long?

Thanks so much for the kind words, much appreciated. How long have you been playing?

You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed it! Is this the kind of music you enjoy playing?

Thanks for replying. Actually, I'm a beginner and learning to play guitar on my own. I would also like to sing along. I prefer feel-good songs, especially country rock & Gospel songs . Tom Petty's songs are really cool to learn..

Took me a few years to learn how to sing in tune and keep it in tune all the way through. Just sing along as you're practising. I used to write out the chords to songs on a big piece of paper so that I could follow them and sing at the same time. I like Tom Petty too, I think I might do another one of his songs. Thanks for watching. Let me know how you get on!

@@guitar.forbeginners.withdave Thank you 😊

Thanks, much appreciated. Have you been playing long?

@@guitar.forbeginners.withdave Hey man, you wake at this time of night lol. Well I'm out of time these days.

@@guitar.forbeginners.withdave I had a good evolution when playing Travis Picking, you helped me a lot, thanks and thanks!

That's great to hear. I'm really glad it helped. It's a great picking technique.

Thanks so much for watching! Have you been playing long?

Thank you so much. Glad you like it. Here is a playlist with some of the individual lessons that you might find helpful. Hoep your playing's coming along well! kzbin.info/aero/PLeaRVM-30iopVPKSH8q53PPDVrLMrbmUR

Very helpful Sir

@@rubentoro3305 glad it helped. Thanks for watching.

It's never too late to pick up a guitar again! Hope my tutorials help you improve. Let me know how you get on!

Thanks for commenting. I do have other content that you're free to check out to help you improve.

D to C is a little tricky as there isn't an "anchor" finger or any fingers in common to the two chords so all the finger have to move. Two possibilities. You can use your third finger as a guiding finger because it's on the third fret for the D chord and also for the C chord. Try to lift it up a little, then move it across and put that down first and put the rest of the chord down, whether you're going from the C to D or D to C. It's possible to do the same but using the 2nd finger as it's on the 2nd fret for both chords but I think going from D to C that's a little harder. I hope this helps a little but whatever you do, keep at it. It will come together with time. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

There are other ways of playing it. You could try the mini barre on the high E and B strings and the 2nd finger on the 2nd fret of B string only. Or 1st finger on 1st fret of B string. 2nd on 2nd fret of G string and third on third fret of D string, so you're not doing the little barre with the first finger. But make sure the open high e string (1st string) is not ringing out as that's a different chord (an F major 7th which is slightly jazzy). Having said all that, I really would persevere with the version in the video. It is tricky but with time and practice you'll get it. Hope this helps a little.

I can't comment on that but how's your guitar playing coming along? Have you been playing long?

@ haha, I’ve been playing for a day, was just be a bit dramatic. But I really appreciate your whole series! Will continue watching

Only a day? Cool! Just remember, it takes time and patience and of course a lot of practice. Put in at least 15 minutes every day and you'll see progress. Feel free to ask questions if you need help. Good luck!

So glad to hear it. It's a lovely little technique to play. Have you been playing long?

Email me for the chords! Check the description!

Thanks for watching! How's your Blackbird coming along?

Hi Norman, how are you going? Have you been playing long? It does take a bit of time to get used to strumming. Not only do you have to worry about your strumming hand but also changing chords and getting both hands to work together can be tough. But not impossible. Give it some time and patience and you'll get the hang of it for sure. I've got another strumming video you might like. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGOkknyql8usaZY Let me know how you get on and thanks for watching and taking some time to comment.

@guitar.forbeginners.withdave ...Thanks for replying. Playing approx 5 months. Watched your recommendation...👍. There's no shortcuts... Soldier on... Cheers.

You're right, no shortcuts! Keep at it, you'll get there.

Thanks for watching. It's a great song to play. Keep at it and your little finger will be fine. If you email me, I'll have a look for the patterns and send them over to you. My email is in the description. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

Yes! How did you get on with the tutorial? Did you find it easy/difficult? Thanks for watching.

Glad I could help. Have you been playing long? If you're looking for more help with chord switching try these kzbin.info/aero/PLeaRVM-30iopXPG9COrRSdARJbkUdttvy Let me know how you get on. Thanks for watching

That's awesome! Are you focussing on finger picking, strumming or trying all sorts of things?

@guitar.forbeginners.withdave Everything you bring is fun and useful. I live in Luxembourg and just retired from work. My wife is happy when I make new sounds.

There's a saying "A happy wife, a happy life"!!!. I'm glad this is helping you and now that you are retired (congratulations!), you'll have plenty of time to practise! Feel free to ask questions if you need help.

They sure are!
