I really dont understand the human race... why are some people so freakin negative? I call it rude! Did y'all not have parents that taught kindness and love, or at least basic manners? Here is a guy offering free demonstrations on video, not to mention his 30 lessons and his books for free. THAT MEANS IT COST US NOTHING. Even if everything he showed was completely incorrect...who cares. We have lost nothing. The lessons are pretty great and I dont see anything at all to critique in a negative way. I tried to learn the guitar about five different times in the past 30 years. I have went to one on one lessons, group lessons and a dozen on line teachers and by far and Erich is by far the BEST I have seen and/or used. From the very beginning the things he teaches before you even pick up the guitar really lit a fire in me and for the first time made me WANT TO Learn. In only my fourth day, 60 minutes a day I can play 4 chords...which is further than I ever progressed in that short a time. I cant wait to see where I am 0ne year from now, only investing 60 minutes a day. Thats all the time I can guarantee each day. So to all you Negative Neds and Debbie Downers and JPAH's. Get a hobby, or a job or a life. (jpah- just plain ass hats) Erich I thank you i can tell you definately love the guitar and would really like it if everyone on the planet could play the guitar. I THANK YOU

Erich, Thank You for another great lesson. You've simplified nearly every concept of guitar playing that I've ever wanted to accomplish. From struggling through the "F'n" F chord" to learning musical scales, you simplify it all; and suddenly, it all starts to make sense! I REALLY benefited from your lesson on the Rule of Thirds in this same way. Wow. Something that I struggled with for weeks with a lesson book I was working from, became so crystal clear with just one of your sit down lessons. I can't imagine finding a better teacher either online or in person. You're teaching is in a style that really speaks to me and unravels the mystery of guitar. By the way, I HAVE finally mastered the F chord! Can you imagine how exciting that was for me!? I had to show anyone who stopped by, that I can cleanly play the F chord! Next stop: fingerpicking. Thank you, thank you!

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!

Thank you for the lessons. I started playing guitar when I was 14, didn't take it too seriously. Since I couldn't afford lessons back then and there was no KZbin in the 80s I was pretty limited on what I could learn. I've played off and on since, but I've also put it down for years at a time. Just within the last year or so I've decided to dedicate myself to becoming a better player and learning more about guitar and music theory in general. I must say KZbin is a great tool for that. Thanks again, you've helped a 46 year old man begin to learn to fingerpick!

Erich - I am a psychotherapist and a guitar player (it is a form of therapy for me). You have nailed it. Our culture does not teach the true dynamics of integrative learning. Instead we are trained in rote learning. Thus, learning music or a foreign language is discouraging for many because integrative learning or "calibrated" learning takes time and patience. But the real enemy in all of this is ourselves. The more pressure we place on ourselves through self-criticism, impatience, & shoulds, gotta's, oughta's, the quicker we will burn out at whatever the endeavor. I have taught myself to approach learning a piece with no expectations. Each section learned is a victory, no pressure, no unrealistic demands, just a challenge, "what part of this can I learn today?" The goal is to keep it interesting, challenging, and fun. I'll never be anything more than an intermediate player, not looking to be in a band. I just enjoy the learning challenge and the result of the effort. Folks need to learn to quit "shoulding on themselves", focus on the immediate challenge and enjoy the experience. I think you are the first KZbin guitar teacher I have known to address this issue so head on and so accurately. The elephant in the room has been identified! By the way getting off the pot is not a bad idea if you want to learn guitar! Thanks for a great video. Rock on dude!

[@colinzeta4362]

the issue is Merle Travis style vs fingerpicking which are to different ways of playing picking patterns the former relying on a rolling base line and planting your pinky on the pickguard. This totally changes the guitar angle. Solution: do what Chet Atkins does and eliminate the pinky he said I rarely use my pinkey. What your goal should be is changing the angle for fingerstyle so ultimately you can play flamenco if you wish to do so one day.

[@cybrunel1016]

No no no...Merle Travis played with thumb (bass) and index (melody) only, Chet Atkins used thumb (bass) and his index and middle finger (melody)...Jerry Reed played with thumb (bass) index, middle, ring, and sometimes pinky. Ain't no wrong way, just your way. If it works for you, it's right.

In the finesse of the picking do we pick with tips of our fingies or do we need to grow our nails and pick using the back of our nails, or can we tape picks the top of our nails using epoxy ? Much thanks sempia you really have have thaught me many fundamental skills

[@skyou5981]

I use the tips of my fingers cause my nails tend to get dirty really quick. It's your decision tho, but you'll need to shape your nails ( I believe) if you wanna use them.

Beginning to learn to play the guitar ... picking is such a cool way to bring out a song in a creative way (I think so anyway). That is why I so excited to learn this method. Thank you! :)

You are the BEST!!!! Thank you so much for your generosity and kindness and encouragement. As a new guitar player at 55 y.o., I have learned SO much from you in your 30 free lessons. I hope to subscribe when I have available funds to further progress in my playing! I want to learn how to play "A baby just like you" by John Denver for my 7-month-old grandson who loves me to hold him and sing. Christmas is closing in and I'm REALLY hoping I can play it for him!!The song was written for John's son Zachary. My grandson's name is Zachary...and, I just love the song! Thank you Erich for all you do!!!!!
