I am 70 yrs. old and have dealt with ADHD all my life. Which means if something doesn't hold my attention it will seek something it does. You my dear hold my attention. Everything just seems to make sense the way you say it. So, and you may learn to regret this, you will be my instructor for all the stuff I never really understood. I also agree with norris17 about you always are smiling. I watched your odyssey of learning to play and you are exactly opposite from me your learning seemed to build on the previous lessons you learned. With me nothing makes sense and then I'll do something and after months of frustration it all coalesces and while tactilely it takes a bit longer, but I have the concept and how it works out so I have a direction. So thank you for this. P.S. I also have dealt with Bi-Polar 2 my whole life. It is the rapid cycling form of Manic Depression. This has been so much fun because it is so gypsy by nature here one moment, gone the next, then back again. It is so hard to predict you almost have to be able to recognize it on the fly. My life has been one big pile of fun. O.K. I'll quit now.

[@azazel9617]

Wow. Thanks for this comment David. Seeing you in this age, and me at mine (23) having almost the same conditions, ADHD, depression. It gives me a drive force to continue. I often feel this dread of time, has if I'm to old for this stuff that I always wanted to do, but get caught up in life and losing all this time. Anyway, thank you for the inspiration, truly.

[@madpaladin305]

My mind is blown, as someone who just picked up a guitar this is an eye opener and it's very well explained. Thank you very much and keep the vids going! :) :)

[@RachelfGuitar]

I'm so happy to hear that! Hope you are having tons of fun with the guitar :)

[@RachelfGuitar]

Part 2 of this series is now up here!: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJKaopSerdWagLM

[@Hickeroar]

This is great. I know a lot of this "theory" already, but the way you presented it makes it easy to remember on the fly.

[@johnnyfountainS]

[@justinbasler5269]

How many hours did you practice when you started to play

[@racyagentmac]

Thanks for the reminder this helps me find different chords of the same note when I wanna mix things up 👍❤️

[@LucasBozovich]

You’ve explained this rather well Rachelf. Fun fact: B# and E# do exist, and the same for Cb and Fb. They’re not as common, but E# is in the key of F# Major, and again with B# in C# major. Cb is in Gb Major, and again with Fb in Cb major. Would I be right in assuming you wanted to hold off so as not to overwhelm your viewers? Also, I can’t wait for part two.

[@kyleiq1912]

i’ve been playing since january, so i have learned the fretboard a decent amount, but i wanted to check in and make sure i have a good grasp on the basics. the way you explain is very clear and easy to follow, it helped affirm my understanding and i’m sure will be really helpful to anyone just starting out! i know a couple patterns to navigate with but i know there are more i could be using, so i’m excited for the next video :)

[@RachelfGuitar]

So happy to hear, thank you :)! Hope you have been having a great time with it so far!

[@johnputt6029]

Exceptional and personable explanation. I'm a beginner guitar player (and diggin' it the most too) and seen several other fretboard explanations...None nearly as clear as yours. Thanks! I just subscribed to your channel and look forward to more guitar knowledge.

[@glennalansmith6390]

That was awesome! I've been playing guitar and bass for almost 10 years now and you nailed the explanation of the fret board in minutes! Great job! Its hard to put it into words for some of us who also want to share the concepts to those who don't understand it and get scared at the number of frets there are. Keep up the great practicing. I could see in the video when you started to move your facial muscles around as you are getting into the groove! That's a sign when you know its taken over your body and soul! :) Pick a string and smile a million smiles!!

[@RachelfGuitar]

Thanks so much! 😁

[@TheTuckerVision]

This is one of the most informative and clearest videos that I've seen on the subject. Thanks for this. I personally use Eat All Day, Get Bloody Enormous.

I've learned this before, but this video was done expertly. Not only is it clear and concise, but enjoyable to watch as well. You provide an excellent energy to your videos. Keep it up

[@RachelfGuitar]

Thank you so much!

[@MattNineFive]

For someone always trying to learn guitar, this is very easy to understand! Always great videos!

[@RachelfGuitar]

Awesome to hear, thanks!

[@kickflipfeeble76]

I've been playing guitar for 11 years never did classes no 1 help just read tabs. I never learned what notes on the fret board was because it seemed to hard but you just smashed it out of the park and made it easy for a beginner to learn thank you. Now I'll start learning lol

[@gregbrooks7850]

Very well thought out. Good script as well. Impressed, is a word I would use to describe how I feel after watching the video. Even though it’s a simple concept, utilizing then mastering all the notes on the guitar. It’s an incredibly disciplined act to truly master all the notes and is just badass. Thank you for taking time to make this great video. I hope to see more of you and how creative you can become in terms of filming, research, people(friends to film with), giving back when you have enough to give back and still have enough to create the videos that you wanna create. I love all, everyone be well.

[@markkrug766]

Used your advice to by a Strat with the HSS pickups for my first guitar 6 months ago. Great piece of wisdom. Over 55 and playing everyday.

[@metaldeadpool7669]

Hey Rachel! I'm a new subscriber and a new guitar player.. just got a sparkly blue Glen Burton electric guitar about a month ago. I've been improving alot recently, Mötley Crüe was my inspiration to be a guitar player and I suggest listening to them and learning there songs 🔥🤘🎸

Totally fine to go with whatever guitar you enjoy the sound of the most! Hope you are having a great time with it 😁🎸

[@Can-yy8fu]

Hello Rachelf Im into heavy metal never touched guitar before but I wanna learn guitar and found a deal with "Ibanez grg121ex" and "Marshall mg15 cfr amp" its almost peak for my budget and I found on a discount in secondhand getting both half of price, would you recommend this set, is this a good set for metal songs I need your opinion.

The opposite is Easter bunnies get dizzy at Easter 🙂 I'm glad you are sharing this because there are people who have trouble with it because just look at the neck, it's huge! Lol but if you remember that there are only 12 notes then it isn't so daunting. I got two months learning guitar and it's been so fun but my hand hurts doing chords buuuuut eventually it won't anymore ☺️

[@RachelfGuitar]

That's a good phrase too! Thank you :)

[@gdboston]

Solid!

[@gsbguitarsgsb679]

Another way too look at it is all the note on the low E string correlate to the key signature of the note it’s self. Example: at the D note on the low E the D power chord or Dm power chord can be played as well as the Dm pentatonic scale First position. I think I explained that correctly hopefully. Im more familiar with the minor key signatures than I am with the major one but generally they both start at the root. Obviously different finger patterns. Hopefully that wasn’t confusing. My apologies if so…
