Keep going with it brother in Christ, I support your choice to make content! Liked and followed, keep pushing.

A life truth in general. Folks will only know what you tell them. If a church doesn’t tell their congregation they need volunteers then no one will step up.

😮 You look like Paul McCartney ❤❤ love it

You are so articulate. The Lord bless you. Going to apply these immediately. Thank you David for such a generous dispersion of knowledge.

Lol

I needed this today! I’ve been grappling with the discouraging fact that I’m not playing as well as I thought I’d be playing a year into this journey. I’ve publicly played once (2 weeks ago) and was disappointed with the “performance”. The PURPOSE of the playing- not disappointed at all! The message of this video needs to be saved in my forever videos!

I just use my middle finger

Thank you David. I remember watching your concert at the Refresh retreat a year ago. It was so inspiring. I had just begun playing in those days, and I have since then been contributing to my church’s worship services by singing and playing. Come to find out, I was selected by the Lord and our congregation to be the next lead pastor. My worship leader was taking vacation and asked me to lead worship. This video hits the nail on the head, and the ultimate concept with the Lord is to “be willing.” He will do the rest. I was not super confident, but I was willing, and with the skill I had the Lord did what He does best, He multiplied our praises in to rich worship.

That's literally how to play an A in the standard position. I thought you were going to show "a chord in a different way."

I don't use any fingers...sounds great!

I mostly just bar it with my index and mute the high e

I play a right handed guitar left handed. Don’t even restring it to a left handed spread

boys dont cry

i’ve just used my index since i was like 10 lol

I play with one finger ☝️

I use my pointer on the mid string. Middle on top, ring on bottom. But l also use just my mid and mute the high E, especially on my electric. I never could get the way the book wanted

I mean my go to playing Em is with my middle and ring finger

Literally chose the one chord that any guy with big fingers can only use two fingers with

Thats how i do it! Have to as my hands are HUGE.

B**** that's not going to work

So very true my friend. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and encouraging all players. A great book for all players is”Zen Guitar,” highly recommended. Peace!✌️

I have always loved the guitar, my favorite instrument. I started playing at 53 years old. Two years in, and i was about to quit. I just felt like i wasnt where i should be and im having trouble playing complete songs, im wasting my time. Then, i saw a tshirt that read: “i dont play guitar because im good at it, i play because i love it”. Completely changed my perspective and shifted my attitude. Glad i found your channel, insightful and funny, your approach is humorous and humble. ✌🏼

I will limit my sight more, hopefully ears and hands will grow stronger.

nice video, well paced!

Another great lesson. Is there an easier way to do the counting on location of the next note. I'm 7 months into my journey of the guitar. I am working on chords now and I have the open chords down and working on the changing of chords.

I love playing 1/2 step lower in G. It is easy to sing there.

Thanks for the tip! I’m going to try this out.

❤

My loving ,and supportive wife will start singing, or asking me questions as soon as i pick my saxophone up...i wonder why...compelling me to stop?hmmm?

Exactly how I was taught in 1972. I had a great teacher and this technique has given me a lifetime of pleasure. Teachers, don’t underestimate the gifts you give.

you are like the music teacher I didn't think i needed but do

Great lesson.

AHH SO COOL!!!!

Beautiful work man !!

Oh my waffle frys

Wow awesome thank you sir

youre a maestro

Thank you very much sir

That's pretty cool

Thank you❤

Yeah I'll be saying farewell to my regular Em after so many years. Weve has some good times together but its time to move on....after 40 years!

very confusing video.

ALL WE ARE IS DUST IN THE WIND

you should do a full video instead. it’s not very helpful at all since you play the chords at the same time

I have taught this for years. You’re the 1st one besides me that uses the “inside outside…” when you teach it!

My hand is too small to play that Em7add9add11 cleanly!

e minor is not a “worse chord” than these and that’s a bad thing to teach people getting into music. they all have their purpose

🎶 In my hour of need. And though you're not there. 🎶

🎉

Very nice Though Em7add9 is just Em9. The 7's included in the 9. The add 9 makes it only 9
