I'm just starting to play now (dabbled with it a little in my youth, but only played by war) and, MAN! I gotta tell you - 1st time seeing you, and YOU ROCK!!! WHAT A GREAT TEACHER! Plus, all the knowledge you bring along with you. Fantastic vid, Liked & Subscribed and will be checking you out from now on. Thank you!

This video just popped up in my feed. I'm in the same boat...so I just subscribed, created a folder, downloaded and liked all of your full length foders. Keep up the good work. Since I'm starting to play again the timing is right to get in on the ground floor with a weekly instructor so to speak.

[@allaboutguitaracademy]

Awesome! Great to hear and welcome to our community of guitarists 🎸🎸🎸 I think you will find yourself at home here.

Great simple instructional vid! By the way I ordered a small Blackstar amp, looking forward to trying it out. Planning on buying larger one depending on how this one works out.

[@allaboutguitaracademy]

Nice! I think you will like that Blackstar amp 👍🏼😃🎸

[@LarryZiats-od2cr]

Hey Bud I’m in the same boat..back fused..neck fused and arthritis in both hands. I’m 67 and I refuse to let all this to keep me from doing what I’ve always wanted to learn to do. I read your comment and it sounded like my long lost brother from another mother 😂😂Bob is a great teacher and this lesson is awesome!! I will keep at it if you promise to do the same…we can do this together!!

[@allaboutguitaracademy]

Awesome! Thanks for the comments. Keep rocking, we can do this!! 👍🏼🎸

[@shadwox9808]

[@allaboutguitaracademy]

[@BecomeABetterGuitarPlayer1]

I worked with my hands my whole life, I’ve broken both of my arms, two fingers on my left hand and I have arthritis, but I still play! Where there’s a will there’s a way.

[@tylerhunter7272]

Fused 7 levels - neck and lumbar, arthritic hands, but persevering thru the pain to play.

[@biffabacon1203]

Drop d tuning is a gift to arthritis 🤘

[@allaboutguitaracademy]

YES IT IS! And it's fun to play, it sounds great, and I have a video coming up on that very soon. Thanks!

[@biffabacon1203]

@allaboutguitaracademy I will look forward to that cheers.

Wow I always thought a tennis racket was enough to play guitar!Im learning fast!

[@allaboutguitaracademy]

lol 😂.. thanks for strumming your tennis racket with the video 👍🏼😃🎸 stay tuned for more!

[@jbreakstone]

You didn’t mention one of the Spark Amps from Positive Grid. They are small, inexpensive and awesome. There are so many things you can do with the Spark app. To me, it’s the very best amp for a beginner (or anyone). These practice amps get pretty loud and sound amazing. You can’t go wrong.

[@allaboutguitaracademy]

Great suggestion! I'll look into it for a future video. 👍🏼😃🎸

[@lesliedrury3508]

I like Hawkwind.

[@edwinbeavan7255]

Can you take a photo of your amp setting thank you great vid 😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@allaboutguitaracademy]

Thanks! Yes, I will post a photo of my amp settings in the very next video. Watch for my next "Rock Guitar" video coming up within a week or so. Meanwhile, here's the settings for my Marshall DSL40C: CLASSIC GAIN - Gain 8, Volume 1 - ULTRA GAIN - Gain 10, "Lead 1 activated", Volume 1.5 - EQUALISATION - Treble 6, Middle 5, Bass 8, "Tone Shift Activated", Presence 7, Resonance 8 - REVERB - Classic 4, Ultra 4.

Hi 👋 So So True!Nicely Doing Man

[@allaboutguitaracademy]

Hey, thanks 👍🏼🎸😃

[@Billy-h7b]

Nice one from London

[@allaboutguitaracademy]

Thanks for watching! 👍🏼🎸

[@keithhatfield2119]

BTW...Love that Alex Lifeson Epiphone Access. Does the Floyd Rose stay in tune?

[@allaboutguitaracademy]

Thank you! Yes, the Floyd Rose keeps the axe in tune and I’ve dive bombed with it several times. I do need to adjust the fine tuners now though, normal part of using a Floyd rose. Highly recommend the Alex Lifeson LP👍🏻🎸 thanks for watching!

[@44scoots]

You can rock with a Telecaster too!

[@allaboutguitaracademy]

Yes you can! Thanks for mentioning that, I need to get one!

[@williamsporing1500]

[@jerseyred9554]

Hey Bob I've struggled for 4 years trying to learn to play guitar, but at best I'm only a beginner. I learned some from Guitar Tricks, which eventually got too difficult for me, Guitar Control, Guitar Jam, private lessons at Guitar Center and with an instructor online. I am 65 years old, have Carpal Tunnel in both wrists, nerve damage in my fingers, hands, wrists, and arms. Had my right Rotator Cuff done twice, my left is also fairly shot, been through 5 spine surgeries, one three level fusion in my neck, and have lived on pain meds for decades. And I have ADHD, to some extent. ( I will not be tested ) So, maybe I should throw in the towel......... just can't seem to get the nerve to Any thoughts

[@allaboutguitaracademy]

Thanks for sharing your story! It's inspiring to see your determination, and I'm confident that with practice and patience, you can achieve your goals. By the way, you should visit my website and order my free ebook AND the Fast Track Guitar course. I created the book and course because I had personally suffered severe injuries to my wrists and hands in 2021 and re-learned how to play by using easy 2 finger chords and then worked up from there. It really helped me! Go to allaboutguitaracademy.com and get those resources. Or, just stay tuned for more videos, but DON'T GIVE UP!

[@chucklee347]

Man oh man I’m so glad the yt algorithm’s popped you my way, I’m 55 yo, I’ve been a beginner for about 8 years,, Naw just joshin around,, but I have recently according to everything I’ve researched gotten to the intermediate road block I have heard so much about,, Where I’m tired of the same old same ol. But I have no teacher well I think I do now,, But i don’t have any theory knowledge so I don’t know where to go from here,,, at my age and skill level I’m certain slash don’t have to worry about being unemployed,,, but I do want to get as good as I can for myself if nothing else,, I’ve always loved music and use it everyday for one reason or another, anyhow I’ll quit rambling,, Let’s rock,😮

[@allaboutguitaracademy]

😃👍🏼🎸 thanks for checking out the channel! Great to have you on board, keep jamming! More coming soon.

[@wayneking4521]

Hello there, I'm 66 and I brought a Wildcat Epiphone with everything on it, and I use a Marshall amp COC50 with. What do you think about it for playing everything with it and the the amp?

[@allaboutguitaracademy]

I love the Wildcat design with the Bigsby Tremelo. I’ve never played one but I’m sure it’s a GREAT guitar and beautiful too! 👍🏼😃🎸 as far as the Marshall CODE50, I’ve heard it played before in coffee shop and small gig environments, it’s a great studio/practice amp too with a lot of digital enhancements 👍🏼 thanks for joining our community here, my friend!

[@johnakyle5908]

Nice guitar , Lifeson axess model ?

[@allaboutguitaracademy]

Yes 👍🏼😃🎸 it’s my new favorite guitar! Thanks!

[@johnakyle5908]

@allaboutguitaracademy I was tempted as im a lifelong Rush fan , but i wouldn't use the Floyd , so got myself a 59 special edition , love it .

[@allaboutguitaracademy]

Awesome! Great guitar 🎸 (59 LP)

[@jimbo1959]

I'm a beginner, so what makes your E5 power chord different from a regular Em? Also, can you show what your Amp. is dialed in to? Great video!

[@allaboutguitaracademy]

Hello and welcome! Great questions, check the next Rock 🎸 video (lesson 2) and you’ll see my amp settings at the beginning of the video. Also, the difference between E5 and Em is that E5 is played using one finger, only playing strings 6, 5, and 4. Em is played using two fingers and playing all 6 strings. Thanks!

[@jimbo1959]

@@allaboutguitaracademy Thank you!

[@Steve-dk7ec]

So ......your saying.....if I don't have a guitar.......it's gonna slow me down a bit......???
