Can you help me because I’m struggling so much on how to play the beginning plucking part it just doesn’t sound right

This video singlehandedly renewed my old dream of learning guitar... I probably never will but now I want to again

[@cbcmusiclab]

Just do it! :)

[@lucus1717]

I dont know if you will read this because your comment is kind of old already, but I started last year in June with a really bad guitar and it was one my best decisions. Its not that hard and really enjoyable. You wont regret it ;)

[@peacefulleo9477]

I started two months ago with an Okay-ish guitar, and I think with a couple days of practice I can play Brazil (tho the Barre Chords would be a little challenge, as well as the sliding). You can do it ❤️

[@avuhhh]

now if you guys could have him teach us how to sing, write, and perform, then maybe we could have an iota of his talent!!

[@trash7826]

he’s really bad at explaining things but i still stan

Yeah I'm a complete beginner and I learned the riff really easy but I have no idea how to play the rest cause he explained it so bad 💀

[@JacobBrown-zb1lh]

@@Kyla-cc6wx this explains it exactly how its played

[@allroundlad]

His explanation is for more experienced guitarists because visually, all those chords should be very familiar after a certain point in playing anyway

[@ryanllewellyn3472]

Couldn't be explained any easier 😂😂😂

[@Walker.Does.Photography]

It’s called a skill issue

AAAAAH KING DEC

[@kieranlikesyou1]

Its a C# minor B, A and E mate.

[@gubbies8874]

he isn't playing with his middle finger on the "C# minor", if he was you'd be right

[@ch1oe374]

i’m pretty sure he knows how to play his own song

[@momfart]

kieran mc c# and d flat are the same thing

[@TheLydou2516]

they do sound the same but if we get technical he is in the key of E major so it's a C# minor because the note Db doesn't exist in this key

[@logany37]

ch1oe Hes actually wrong lol

it's a D flat minor or G sharp minor what ever you want to call it......... seems legit.

What fret is the d (flat) minor on and the other cords ( B A E) ?

[@yanillec]

Niv Vina this might be a lil too late but i’m gonna help u out anyway lol: the d flat is on fret 9 the b is on fret 7 the a is on fret 5 and the e is an open chord :)

d is on fret 10, c# is on 9
