hopefully you do some more tutorials like this in the future, I recently picked up guitar and think someone from the math rock/midwestern emo scene would be cool to learn from.

[@LetsTalkAboutMathRock]

For sure! Thanks. I have a beginner playlist on my main page 👍

Awesome stuff Steve. You make it look so easy 😄

[@LetsTalkAboutMathRock]

Haha! Cheers. That's how I feel when I watch Yvette, Tim, etc haha

[@landontran1741]

I needed this so much, thank you

[@Alezcollection]

Such a pretty exercise. I almost want to loop it and just make riffs over it to ease my mind lol

[@lightasair339]

LOVE THIS EXERCISE :)

[@oliverallen3587]

Ngl, this helped a bunch. Thanks!

[@LetsTalkAboutMathRock]

Ace! Thanks

[@pogoism1]

do you rest you fingers on the strings the very moment you begin to play?

[@shawndavis5725]

Beautiful riff.

[@LetsTalkAboutMathRock]

Thanks, Shawn! Hope you're well

[@darkadore]

Do I have to read music to learn from your book?

[@LetsTalkAboutMathRock]

nope. There’s tablature included for everything 👍

[@bennett9063]

awesome video thanks!

[@OfficialSp1ke]

What was the second song that was acoustic in the beginning? Not the Yvette song

[@unforgettableluncheon106]

Adventure, Stamina, and Anger by TTNG, but you probably knew that it’s TTNG

[@SoundAuthor]

Still admiring your lovely new strat.

[@nate7817]

i am missing TTNG by the day, would you do another ttng inspired riff?

[@nate7817]

i love that exercise btw, will it be a full song soon?

[@LetsTalkAboutMathRock]

Thanks! I have no plans to make it one as it's more of an exercise, although it is quite a musical sounding exercise 😅

[@unforgettableluncheon106]

Missing? Did they split up?

[@nate7817]

@@unforgettableluncheon106 nah, they've just been not making music for a while their drummer is in a new band making a new record though

[@Sarahstearsdandelionseeds]

crap what tuning is this in

[@Sarahstearsdandelionseeds]

standard?

[@rommel.fernandez]

Oh no, I need to practice using my little finger!? 😭

[@LetsTalkAboutMathRock]

Heh heh heh. Jokes aside, you don't have to use your pinky but it's worth giving it a shot 👍

[@AsDf-jc8uy]

As someone who is very in to fingerstyle guitar in general and keeping in mind I am by no means an authority, I think you'd be better off using your thumb for the A and D strings during the C-shaped passage, with your index/middle/ring covering the top 3 strings (ie: G/B/E). At least in classical guitar, your pinky finger is very rarely used (usually to fully voice a chord with 5 notes), and even more very rarely used in an arpeggiated section like this one where the A and D strings give you ample time with your thumb regardless of tempo. Right-hand finger independence is still very important as the video says, but I'm almost certain anyone well acquainted with fingerstyle would not approach the right-hand fingering in the first chord as it's shown with the pinky finger.

[@co_obs]

@@AsDf-jc8uy yea I agree. I play a lot of classical guitar and although i will give the pinky a try with electric guitar to see how I like it, I normally don't use it when playing classical.

[@TheDeadlockArchives]

start with a cmajor chord *plays d# major* xDD

[@LetsTalkAboutMathRock]

Meant to say C major shape 😅

[@TheDeadlockArchives]

@@LetsTalkAboutMathRock :D :D im just being a silly boi! good video though i like the emphasis on the fingerpicking exercises and encouraging players to use a finger for each string is good habbit to form

[@demetranatani2884]
