Robertushka Tea thanks!

[@G.Giorgio]

Hi yes the percussion techniques do not require perfect or regular guitar technique - good luck 😎

[@mandag34]

I have a question when strumming like this is it the goal to hit all the strings like when you do e minor or e major

[@alphazgaming3609]

@@mandag34 its enough if you just hit the triad that defines the chord you are playing

[@TheSushi117]

I have been playing on and off for 18 years. I have never been able to do any percussive work. This channel is everything I need to start getting my jam on the acoustic. Thanks guys, love it

If i only had a gi-tar.....

glad to be of help dude :)

Pretty good explanation indeed =)

[@GuitarType01]

I discovered the percussive technique on guitar when I was having a bad guitar day while practice, I got up frantically and the end of my guitar hit the coffee table very loudly, and I noticed how different the strings sounded. It was a bittersweet feeling, that new ding on my guitar and the new discovery.

[@bekacynthia]

Loved it! I’m like: “I can do this!” Then I watch Marcin Patrzalek or Alexandr Misko and I’m like: “Nah, who am I kidding?”

[@derfinsniter5185]

Well it starts somewhere, thing about music is non of its magic, just hard work!

[@ch3rrybe4ns]

i thought I was the only one whos here for this reason lol

[@DinoBryce]

​@@derfinsniter5185Exactly Marcin has over 14 years of experience (more experience than I have been alive), but he wasn't always that good.

[@amplifysenpai3175]

i think its important to emphasize keeping a steady rhythm, dont try in incorporate abstract rhythms until you are very comfortable mixing multiple techniques together, i found that once i learned everything individually it was really easy to start augmenting them, i wished id started learning things in sequence XD

[@MusicCollegeTV]

Wise Words! Master the basics first and then work on new ways of exploring the techniques!

[@TheBootywest]

Good advice.

[@meliciaferns6084]

Just great. Apart from being a good guitar percussionist you are a good teacher. Very clear and demonstrative. Hoping to see more videos. God bless.

[@asvinithillai2132]

Dude, someone talk about his accent and voice already 😍♥️

[@MapleWorldd]

love every time you gently lay your hand on the strings to stop them

[@scottgius]

Dude is a Natural Teacher. Really done well man!

[@mang3139]

Great intro to percussive guitar. I’m an old power chord metal head looking to FINALLY (47 yrs old lol) broaden my playing spectrum. Thanks man

[@RyanInglis]

I hope it's going well :)

[@chayankar2905]

seems like i've found the right place to learn percussive guitar effects ... nice tutorial !! looking forward to more brilliant lessons .

[@kenetramirez6358]

I think the same:)

[@BiGzArtiste]

The best teacher on youtube i've come across so far. Excellent method! more vids please!

[@R31580]

The percussive beat on the guitar gives the music a good taste.

[@arundahiya2562]

the last melody you played was really amazing.. will watch all your videos now onwards.

[@DawgFL]

I've been doing this technique for about a year and now the little bumpy bone on my wrist on my right hand is twice as big as the one on my left hand... don't think taht's normal.

[@KeriLovell]

+DawgFL Fuck man, that really made me laugh

[@JA-ut8fi]

Dude! I looked at my hand and laughed cuz its the same.

[@alesiaarnold4259]

It’s a ganglion cyst. I have one too.

[@sunrisesunset7]

LOL The exact same thing happened to me! Then... *my dick fell off!* ...

7 years has passed and it's still the best percussion video

[@abubakkersiddeque2051]

Best teaching skill ever I see, you are blessing for me. A clean teaching style. Thank you sir, I'm watching your video from Bangladesh

[@qrstudio9715]

I have been playing guitar for 2 years and thank you teacher, for the teachings psdt; I'm 14 years old

[@jz4901]

Super clarity and amazing production. Outstanding work, one of the best demos I've seen of this technique on YT. Cheers and thanks!

[@b5fremdet]

although im a beginner myself, i have a tip: use some open tuning to not get distracted with the left hand. I always have one of my guitars tuned to open d so i noticed quickly that that was useful

[@rr8012]

Love you for this bro!!! Found you after 8 years of posting this lesson. Better late than never.

[@eggn00dle36]

Another thing, it’s definitely possible to strum and hit the snare sound at the same time with the first technique if you just have your thumb extended and strum down with it, maybe just a tad bit uncomfortable though.

[@danielberlien3680]

Thanks for posting! Been playing a while and now I am working on getting the fundamentals right, this will provide a whole new dimension to my playing.

[@HVACRILLA]

Thanks for putting this up man, I’ve been listening to Andy McKee and tommy Emmanuel for years and always admired this percussion style

[@rjp63vip789]

Awesome! I'm a beginner learning how to play the Guitarlele. This lesson is very helpful to me at this stage. I've played keyboards for years and I always wanted to learn guitar! I always thought the guitar was a percussion and stringed instrument! This lesson was just what I need to spice up my awkward strumming! 🙄🤓😜😎👍🏿💃🏾

[@RyanInglis]

awesome! hope it is going well :)

[@marcushendriksen8415]

As soon as you started demonstrating the technique (with semibreves) I thought "ooh, that's powerful all right..." and it gave me a massive craving to rush and get my guitar (which I did as soon as the video was over :D)

[@devigiri2909]

Amazing tutorial

what a tutorial and this is 11 years old like a beginner guide to percussive acoustic guitar and the billie jean intro tutorial in 1

One of the best percussive simple lessons easy to follow and i feel wow i can do this! thank you can't wait to watch more in this series. At time stamp 6:38 are you hitting the note at same time as percussive wrist or finger hit or one after another hammer, percussive hit, hammer, percussive hit, or same time?

[@bijukoroth6082]

One of the best video ..i liked it sir...my honour to watch you play.

Wow I never thought about know-hows playing percussion Guitar! I just always imitated the sounds which I hear from the drums. The position which you hit are much more elaborate than mine

[@bikenmindreader1642]

awesome thank you for teaching i really wanted to learn this techniques thank u bro🙂

[@shourovs.5099]

The later portion of the exercise can be simplified further,, just remember 2 notes per beat. Keep this in mind, you will pick up this technique in no time!

[@kornbread5359]

my guitar has a gloss finish, doesnt sound great to drum on. i got the technique down tho, this is a really awesome style to get into. a question i have is, playing the same pattern in different spots on the guitar changes the tuning of the drums and so my question is how can i keep the drums in tune relative to the music, is it in tune no matter where you drum at?

[@RyanInglis]

good question. If you can get the same beat elsewhere on the guitar body and it sounds better and feels more natural to play then go with it. I don't think the tuning is a big issue though

[@nonenone-gg7sm]

amazing lesson, you're a great teacher

[@RyanInglis]

thankyou :)

[@MadeinChinakiki]

great thanks! exactly what I was looking for - drum kit roles and all

[@clarajays]

This is amazing, Ryan ! Thank you

[@funnyvidguy3]

Sounds great but struggling to strum as well. Do you need nails to play like this or can they be short?

[@chanpark2657]

does a pickguard diminish a 'snare' like sound? Unlike the guitar in the video I have a pickguard and I would have to reach far down to get a snare sound

[@LN481012]

could you tell me what kind of guitar this is? I think it sounds amazing

[@MusicCollegeTV]

It's a Tanglewood

[@LN481012]

thank you !:)

[@insystem7]

+LN481012 I think it's either the Evolution IV or the Premier Deluxe model.

[@jamesdilorenzo5005]

[@leonhardt1358]

The hammer on my left hand is pretty soft. Is it because of the guitar, string, or I just need to use more force? I'm using a 20$ guitar

[@leo.messsi]

[@personaltrainingcork]

Great video mate, any chance you have a tutorial dome for the riff you play in your intro clip at the very start? Would love to learn it, thanks very much.

[@RyanInglis]

the intro was just an adlib. I made it up on the spot. Its pretty much just in E. If I get a chance to tab it out for you I will Andrew :)

[@corpseofnowah]

What song did you play on intro?

[@rakzo7133]

great video. doing the kick drum and down strum my skin touches the low e string is it okay or I need to figure out right placement and not touch the strings
