My whole family plays guitars, except ME. My sister gave me a guitar the other day, I'm 67 I can play after watching this. I'm a rock star now !! thanks

[@kenfox22]

I've had a guitar 🎸 for a year and have been too intimidated to play it. Now you have given me faith to play through your easy instructions. Thanks 🙏

[@Packacone420]

i had to slow it down to 0.5 hahaha

[@larrycavallucci3258]

I understand what you're trying to do. BUT those chords are not the standard chords for a regular G, C and D. You are teaching the G2, C2, and Dsus chords, so an extra finger needed, and a bit harder, I think, for a newbie to learn those. I play on my church worship team, and alternate between AG and EG every Sunday! I'll check out your website. Looking around for beginner stuff since I'm going to give a grandson a Mini-3-Qtr guitar this coming week, He's 8, and has been playing a Uke I bought him since he's 4. It's time to transition!

[@Lorrainedapotato42069]

Nicee

[@palpytine]

No. The G is fine, but the other two are Cadd9 and Dsus4

my fingers cant hold the string for so long it hurts

[@Wspgg.13]

Use a capo

Thank you! Just learning and have small hands so I’m struggling with stretching my fingers and hands - any tips? Also would love more very basic beginner songs 😃

[@vrushalchandorkar4917]

Do regular exersize of hands

[@horizonplays549]

Thanks. I've been playing for like 5 months completely avoiding chords. Took me like 5 minutes and I can already comfortably switch and play through them

[@Keith-tz2jy]

For me it a lot longer than 3 minutes. My fingers are crammed together and uncomfortable positions

I think im too fat fingered to play guitar. No matter what I do or how I do it, I can't play a guitar to save my life.

You can do it!!

Thanks bro now I can work on strummin And I'm going to call you Mr. Strummin😂 Seriously though you rock for the easy lesson People too often overcomplicate things unnecessarily

Don't give up. I am 55 and just took my first lesson back on Wednesday and was already doing well on G

Saving this video to my beginner guitar playlist You are a lifesaver guy Oh yeah thanks Mr. Strummin😂

[@metatronscube2037]

Man ive tried learning and retaining the muscle memory for these chords(the wrong way) for far to long from now on if someone tells me they just cant learn guitar ill send them here. Awesome 😊

[@Yug021]

Just add an E minor and you can play thousands of song... Such as G maj E min C maj D maj for perfect.. And E min C maj G maj D maj for chorus part....

[@ankushzap]

issue is with proper press.. I struggle to press chords properly

[@Som_RandomGuy]

I'm trying to pick my guitar back up after ten years (from a high school class). Really nice trying to find an easy way for three chords, thank you! I'm kinda confused on something though. If your fingers are on the next fret over, like with the D chord's first string, is that a different chord? Or is the sound difference so small that it's still a D chord at that point?

[@acousticselection]

these are just the simple ways i play these chords.

[@EmmanuelTchalla]

Are they chords you teaching M or what? Like GM, CM and Dm?

[@yenmarivs.bauxmaiko6062]

I’ve been playing in minor and sus whole time 😅

This is so easy! Thank you for sharing your skills. Suscribed. May God continue to bless you.😊

my fingers hurt so bad and it keeps touching other strings, my hands are not big enough for this

[@acousticselection]

you got this!

[@cgrrr6030]

I enjoyed your video! I just picked up an acoustic after 20 years with minimal lessons at that time. I went to purchase it from a guy he had it advertised as lefty and it was right. I purchased it anyway because it was such a good deal and I am lost now. Any advice?

[@acousticselection]

If you can play at all I would look into my strumming course and maybe learn some specific songs

[@Bergarita]

Ha! Very interesting. I am a beginner and I'm having a hard time getting decent with the G C and D chords doing it the way you were first taught. For a second there I was thinking that you didn't know the right way to do the GCD chords! Your way definitely will be easier for me to master. But is your way going to sound the right? In other words, are they going to be the traditional G C D sound?

[@acousticselection]

Oh yea I totally just use this lock method

[@armandasoares-r3n]

Thanks

Makes me wanna listen to some June Carter 😂❤

Brother, I can dink around on one but this video is very helpful!

[@acousticselection]

Glad it was helpful!

[@roscmon]

I'm so confused. Trying to learn... I'm not understanding how the easier C chord can be exchanged for the C that uses the first fret. They don't sound the same, one is a higher note (is note the right word?). I just don't understand how one can be substituted for the other when they aren't the same note, key, whatever is called.

[@acousticselection]

It will sound close enough...try subbing it at times and see what you think!

[@roscmon]

@@acousticselection Oh thanks! I had forgotten about this video and just so happen to be trying to learn a song right now that has the C chord in it. I'll definitely give the substitution a shot! Thanks!

Help me

[@LeggoMyTailyPo]

I have psoriatic arthritis so practicing was really hard for me. After a few minutes my hands would lock up. So building the muscle memory was the most difficult part. I always had tough thick skin so the strings never really hurt my finger tips. But i think the book i was using wasn't good. It didn't show me to learn those 3 first. It was trying to teach me to learn something like G, a bar F, and d minor or something like that. I gotta brush up on my chord memory cause i haven't played in 20 years. But those 3 chords you show have a lot less finger movement than the ones I started with It makes sense for a beginner to learn chords that are easy to swith to first. And you get some gratification when you pick up the easy chord switches first so you can play a little and actually feel like you're getting somewhere. As apposed to 6 months of trying to learn difficult chord switches and still can't play a single song. It kind of does make you loose interest when all you do are drills but still can't even play easy songs.
