Guitar Tricks gauge strings for country music? .010 or .012 gauge?

[@mail2hasset]

Thanks Brother, it so helpfull🥰

[@RickWilleyOMC]

I was COMPLETELY bored this with lesson until about 1/2 - 3/4 way through. Once he started bringing it together I really see the value of this lesson! Too bad my guitar isn't available to me right now. I'll be back!

[@DebbieLeighDriver]

There's a saying... "What you say is what you are." It's a funny way to tell the world you are a boring person! :D

[@Slohaw]

Thank you so much. I am 77 years of age and starting to learn the guitar. Your course is proving invaluable to me and enjoying it so much. I just want to learn to play along with songs. Keep up the good work.

[@thehauntedkids7853]

77?

[@clairecartermosley4771]

Never too old to learn

[@sujayjohneasterdoss1373]

why did I decide to become an amazing country music guitarist at 3am?

[@TalbyKitty]

😂

[@joshiewhite]

Very true. Always when you can't play is when you want to the most.

[@MAXEEMUS]

Me too. I dont even have a guitar.

[@B-Rock-A]

This guy is an absolutely amazing teacher, one of the best I've come across on KZbin. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@GuitarTricks]

Anders is fantastic!

[@fallingsky1984]

Lmao that comment is not a human robot 😅😂

[@dougm7737]

I'm a new guitarist and I've been all over KZbin and you are by far one of the best teachers for beginners. Love how you add the metronome, then continue on with background music!! By including these two tools actually makes me feel like I'm actually playing something. Thankyou.so much for putting out beginner videos!! Keep em coming!!

[@GuitarTricks]

Thanks for the kind words, Doug!

[@bbcompent12]

For years I have tried to master playing country music on guitar, your tutorial has broken this down in a way that made total sense to me. Thank you so much!

[@GuitarTricks]

Glad I could help!

[@shadharvey3631]

your teachings are helping me so some much thank you the best i have found on the internet.. im disabled and always wanted to learn the guitar.. you are changing my life

[@kurt2800]

Thank you I am 57 and just bought my first guitar I hope I can get the hang of it. You make it look very easy. Great advice. Thanks for your advice, God Bless you

[@GuitarTricks]

Rock on!

[@atocox166]

I'm glad Anders pointed out the importance of using a metronome.Having said that, could you please tell me the metronome BPM(beats per minute) used at 4:20 and 7:11. I'm one of those who needs to use the metronome more.Thanks.

[@saltmine]

I also should play more with a metronome, better play 1/4 accurate than trying to play 1/8 sloppy

[@arthurthompson8241]

Back beat Down beats explained, these typically are left out of lessons, I find most students lack these skills, we assume they just know these Rhythmic schemes but they do not . Many tell me they figured it out on their own later but wished they had been taught all those rhythmic definitions earlier .......thanks for reminding me it's important to explain it ......

[@GuitarTricks]

Absolutely! Happy to share!

[@katywinterfox3.0]

Anyone watching in 2024..?

[@GuitarTricks]

7 years isn't so long ago right :)

[@eddierodrigues8879]

Thanks a chunk Anders, i have taken a lot from your lesson. All this time i memorized chord shapes and stuff, but i just could not put my act together. This session seems to address my concern. At 50 its kind of sluggish, but thanks to my online tutors (like yourself), soon i will be playing a lot better. Thank you and God bless.

[@steelhead197]

Finally a beginner lesson! I have watched 20 of these wanna be guitar influencers, all say they are teaching beginners and blast into the penentonic scale?? wtf? One thing these wanna be guitar teachers can’t do, is articulately teach a beginner? None of them! Thank you sir! For a wonderful video and learning experience! Cheers 🇨🇦

[@Crash.7434]

I never wanted to really learn any genres besides punk (it’s the style I like the most) but after awhile, making songs started to sound the same so I figured I’d open my playing skills and learn other genres to interpret for my songs and style playing. Made it sound more unique and I like it.

[@dhcourier]

One thing I notice on all kinds if not most beginner lessons. Is they never tell you what’s going to happen to your fingers when u first start playing. I’m teaching my boy and the first thing he said was I hate this. It hurts my fingers. Yes. You will get blisters at first. So I recommend 30 min a day for 1-2 weeks. Then you will be fine.

[@peaceign6194]

2021 AND THIS JUST SAVED MY PEFORMAMNCE THIS EVENING

[@robertgreer5917]

Just picked up the guitar after almost 30 years. Found this video very informative. By the end I actually seemed like I learned something. Thank you

[@GuitarTricks]

We're happy you enjoyed the video, Robert!

[@brookehaas9467]

You are the best I’ve have seen on KZbin!!!! Thank you!

[@GuitarTricks]

Wow, thank you! Be sure to tell your friends!

[@bobdavis6511]

Totally guitar...... From start to finish.. Acoustic is my fav and you have an awesome beginners video... Thanks for the lesson!

[@davidwallace4716]

Thanks a million. Great lesson for a total beginner.Easy to follow instruction.

[@dhcourier]

Wow. You have one hell of a great country voice. I wish my voice was that deep

[@GuitarTricks]

Thanks Devrek!

[@PeggyMcIntaggart]

This is great...love the way he explains it for a beginner

[@waynebrown1394]

One of the best teacher online for me and trust be I have looked at hundreds of hours.

[@GuitarTricks]

Anders is the best!

[@markzucc4480]

"Ever wonder why so many people wanna learn guitar but only a few end up playing it?...its simple..."

[@shaquilledowlin1610]

It isnt really easy to play a guitar it takes so much practice and dedication your finger gets sores at first and trying to play some songs that is way above your level is kind of a deterrent for some but if it is easy for you that is great

[@franksickles2831]

'0a

[@yesmamnosir7997]

@@shaquilledowlin1610 just gotta keep playing through. Eventually you’ll get callus on your fingertips so that won’t be an issue. Learning simple chords like these are best to start out with and perfect as well as strumming patterns and time signatures. I then suggest moving onto songs that are a bit harder than ones a beginner would be used to. Depends on what kind of guitarist one wants to be. I practiced to be a singer/songwriter so I love chord progressions and melodies.

[@shaquilledowlin1610]

@@yesmamnosir7997 Thanks for the advice. I am trying to get learn barre chords now, was avoiding them all the time. I can kind of play them good enough so teh strings ring out but switching from an open chord to a barre chord is a challenge. I prefer fingerpicking more than strumming so it is like mistakes on the strings you are plucking are more noticeable than when you are strumming.

[@yesmamnosir7997]

@@shaquilledowlin1610 barre chords are good to learn cause your fingers will def get better with the fretboard while using chords and you can learn and memorize the sound of each chord faster IMO, but in my experience I’ve never even used a barre chord while playing unless I was playing a Bmaj chord. It’s better probably just learning the CAGED system. Strumming or finger picking either way is good and will be useful. Do you though and like I said just keep at it and holding down chords will soon just become second nature. Then it’s time to learn some scales and some music theory. The circle of fifths will become your best friend. Good luck!

[@daveblais673]

Absolutely the best lesson I have had on you tube. Would love to see more from this gentleman.

[@TravisHargiss]

I just received my new Fender Fa 125ce. Teaching myself how to play.

I love acoustic guitar thanks for your COW BOY SKILLS! Your my brother

[@MrNino44]

One of the best videos I have seen for beginners wanting to play country mus

[@adrianfg3148]

Gracias, profesor.

[@kylaenriquez8152]

THIS IS SO GREAT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS I AM SAVED !!!

[@user-cg9fe4zq8p]

As someone who started playing in a Mexican style, specifically siérreno music in which the strumming is in 3/4 time and we play bass notes, I was always kind of stumped by country and how to play it in 2/4 but now I figured it out.

[@yesmamnosir7997]

I used to play flamenco style. So much fun. Way before I learn any theory or even how chord progressions worked. Just young and messing around.

[@johnnysneed4173]

This is a very good lesson on how to strum your guitar. Thank you very much !!!!!

[@drahmann3492]

Great tutorial. You're a good teacher.

[@dermann2421]

Awesome lesson ! Back to basics for me even though i have been playing guitar for a while now, it is refreshing to see your style of teaching. ignore the negative comments. Unfortunately you can't please everyone. If you reach one person positively with your video, then you have done a good job. I have watched thousands of videos on KZbin and this is my 1st comment. Ever ! Go Guitar Tricks. Ignore the haters and keep keeping it simple. Thank You.

[@GuitarTricks]

Back to basics is always the right idea when you've hit a roadblock. Thanks for watching!

[@dakzer55]

I think learning any instrumment especially guitar has changed alot in the last 10 years. Although timing, strumming is still important. Most people who just want to play, start by playing songs they want to listen to, rather than just following through these mind numbing exercises. Remember when you hated music lessons at school, as none of the songs you played were modern pieces. It's all about motivation and listening to the music you enjoy to keep interested...

[@GuitarTricks]

Gotta learn the basics before you can start playing your songs!

[@mikaelolsen5078]

I really enjoyed your teaching! Thank you!

[@tonka1958]

Great lesson thanks. I learned such a lot.Keep up the good work.

[@Cowbelle88]

This guy is awesome! So helpful

[@ralphlewis539]

Very good lesson for beginners. I wish I'd had this video 5 yrs ago :)

[@lepetitprince2188]

Thankyou so much.So simple,so clear. Great,great vidoe for starters. Keep up the good work,my man.

[@dakotahstr]

Thank you for this great lesson. You explain things so easily. I have the problem of wandering. I need to step back and focus on the rhythm by counting. Just getting back to playing. Not great but I can carry a tune.

[@kalleandersson926]

Good video, Much better explained than on the guitar course I went to a few years ago. Incredibly difficult to quickly switch between chords and at the same time keep pace. It takes a few years of hard training before it sounds good too 😎

[@daboss117fly]

Man! By the end of this video, I actually was playing. It felt good. Now gonna keep practicing and playing! Thanx!

[@I_Mark_Mills]

How's the practice going, Bob? I recommend trying out some Johnny Cash. I walk the line is a personal favourite. Easy songs, but they feel so good to play

[@davobristol9351]

Excellent focus on the very basics. Great teaching aide.

Cheers for the Video clip! Forgive me for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you tried - Riddleagan Blossoming Solo Remedy (do a google search)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for mastering guitar scales without the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my old buddy Taylor got excellent success with it.
