[@josephcarroll5846]

Another great lesson from Simon. Having things broken down into steps makes a huge difference. It can't get too basic for me. I had never heard before that picking direction should go in the direction of the next string to be picked. I'd just been using alternate picking. Inefficient.

[@acousticguitarlessons]

Glad you liked the lesson and found it helpful Joe! :)

[@lauriefish58]

I like the last part very much, that’s pretty much how I play but I really want to add some chordal licks up the neck for the finger picking parts, not all just sometimes.

[@acousticguitarlessons]

@lauriefish58, glad you liked the video :) You might like videos like this one that shows you how to play riffs between the chords of a progression: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moSQYmmcqbF_rdk

[@bigdaddystrokes]

This is so great. I've just started learning how to do both.

[@acousticguitarlessons]

That's great to hear! Let me know how you get on with it :)

[@enduringpromise]

This is a great lesson.

[@acousticguitarlessons]

You are welcome! 🙂

[@kokeskokeskokes]

This is not exactly same time. I can strum and play melody and sing said melody all at the same time, and I can do so using tremolo. But noone, I mean noone, is willing to show me a reference exactly how good to get. I understand, you are a pick player, I am frustrated, searching and finding nothing. There are multiple videos like yours, this isn't your fault at all. I see you teach new players and that is very valuable. I didn't have such oportunity and learned everything based off piano I used to play.

[@acousticguitarlessons]

Thanks for dropping by Jan :) I’m a little unclear as to what it is you are wanting to learn exactly. Can you give me a little more information and I might be able to help you

[@ho789jack9]

Thank you for this excellent lesson. Please show us how to play open chords during the break where there isn't any guitar solo to do the job.😂 Thanks

[@acousticguitarlessons]

@ho789jack9, glad you liked the lesson :) You might find this lesson helpful about creating interesting music when no vocals or solos are happening in a song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/norMkoGkrMeaos0

[@terrytaillard4588]

Great lesson and one I have been looking for on KZbin but haven’t found. Do you have lessons on playing chords and playing scales on top?

[@acousticguitarlessons]

Hi Terry! Glad you liked the lesson :) It sounds like you may be referring to chord/melody playing and things related to this style. I have the following videos that relate to this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJ27Y4iOpLZ8jc0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKLIiHiXrZJ7mbc kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZWnaJ57fb6Kibc Is this the kind of thing you are talking about Terry?

[@tianjohan4633]

Great video but could you recommend a handful of known songs that uses this chordal strum and pick? It is easier to keep working on this if I at the same time learn to play another song.

[@acousticguitarlessons]

Hotel California, Sweet Home Alabama, House Of The Rising Sun, Aint No Sunshine, Knocking On Heavens Door, Everybody Hurts . . . Many songs use combinations of strumming and picking in varied ways :)

[@tianjohan4633]

@@acousticguitarlessons Thx. I will start practicing those songs right away. Plain exercise or drilling over and over I can never do for more then a minute or two before my mind starts wondering and I loose focus. Learning actual songs that uses what I try to learn give me an end goal and I can easily listen to my own progression and how har or easy it is to learn it.

[@mikefranz5354]

👍😊

[@acousticguitarlessons]

Thanks for dropping by Mike Franz :)

[@ksmith2852]

You have one long fingernail on your thumb as your pick; how do you do this using a real pick?

[@acousticguitarlessons]

Haha! Yes my thumbnail can get long :) I think I just make sure the nail doesn’t extend past the edge of the pic to stop it interfering
