[@muriaah3316]

Hey Kerry, my name is Rachel and I’ve been following you since around December of last year.. I played guitar growing up for a few years but quickly got frustrated so I stopped playing for years until recently . You’ve given me a great insight of the language of guitar.. understanding open chords and Barr chords (my favorite) and the importance of the two. You’ve helped me learn how to put more enthusiasm into my playing.. I thought I wanted to be more of a psychedelic type of player but R&B is definitely the go-to. You also wished me a happy birthday recently , I’m never gonna forget that so yeah, I hope I get to eventually get to work with you one day because I sing also and you’re like the God father of guitar in my eyes. ❤️

[@wilfredfischer8780]

It's been three years now brother "K" many blessings for the church fellows you blessed me with your approach and skill to what Kerry does 🙏🙏

[@MindDezign]

Teachers should always talk about what the guitar is plugged into and settings to get an R&B tone. It's as important as technique Thank you Sir

I have a made in Mexico Fender Strat with 3 single-coil pickups. Its an all black body and pickguard with off white knobs and switches and a maple fretboard.

[@Kerry2smooth]

Nice

[@SBJ84]

@@Kerry2smooth Thanks because before I had the crappy Ibanez that comes in the starter kit for $200 with an amp and cords. I think that the guitar was only worth $75 at best.

[@MiketheNerdRanger]

I got a Kona thin body acoustic with a piezo, my first guitar. I got a new H.E.R. signature strat with noiseless pups. Finally getting back into guitar after so long.

[@adamrasmussen9939]

I've had a black Affinity Telecaster with white pickguard for about 3yrs now. I contemplate upgrading to a USA or MIJ strat or something a little nicer, but its alright. I gave it a setup a few months back, and it feels much nicer to play now.

[@Watermelon_Man]

You don’t need a USA or MIJ, but you definitely need an upgrade because affinity electronics are usually pretty weak. I would just suggest getting a higher end squier

[@Taylor-dl2kr]

Have you thought about doing a breakdown of the chords in Swahililand by Ahmaud Jamal? It's a difficult song but I feel like the chords would be pretty saucey on guitar.

[@donaldburnside4536]

Big fan of your channel. Great content as usual, but just wanted to point out that you may have misspoke as far the "Bdim7" as the passing chord.

[@joegarcia2323]

Random question... technically speaking we’d use sharps when naming the B major scale right? Is it just easier for you to call these chords out by using flats?

[@kaylebollin8837]

Prs se that I've had since highschool! Its got p90's

[@aceydoesmusic]

hi! what’s that technique you use where you move that little stick looking object at the guitar base and it creates a wobbly effect? is there a name for it?

[@effective_cmpote]

[@sean_tristan31]

Time to spice up 🔥 thanks sir! i use a strat Yamaha Pacifica, single coils and a humbucker at the bridge :) question tho, the chords in the song are Abmin7, Ebmin7, and EMaj7 right? So ow'd you know the F#Maj would fit in nicely there while omitting the Ebmin7 and EMaj7? :)

[@gnizzboy10]

Yo I've recently gotten into guitar and am looking to buy a guitar strap (or maybe even an electric guitar/amp setup) and would love to do so from a black-owned guitar shop! Google hasn't helped me find much

[@Kerry2smooth]

Nice

[@petjobedet4650]

Great guitar lesson, but Seth Myers? I like how the pentatonic scales used are starting to sound Chinese.

[@mastershake4237]

So is it more common to use the slide for the first chord in the riff, then add the hammer-ons in the later part of the riff, or not necessarily? I'm trying to figure when to use the different embellishments. Thanks if you can help.
