The best Golden advice Instead of just watching how to vids Grab a guitar start working at basic, finger picking pattern.Learn with 1/2 picking patterns then work your way to 3/4. lateron Maybe some percussion ,tapping ... keep Practicing, try to learn new thing evertime u pick your guitar.

[@CasperEsmann]

Exactly!💪🏼

[@aj5690]

I'm here to find out what "basic finger pattern" is. To us who are starting out we need the very basics.

Awesome as always! I finally have clear exercises to use, given by one of my favourite guitarist !! So greatful thanks :) Here are some ldeas :) : how to gain finger precision on the strings(I would like to play a song without any mistake..) how to create a song + how to arrange one

[@CasperEsmann]

What would you like me to teach you next time? Let me know!

[@vampyrgeden2491]

The release date of the book

[@bigbologna6057]

how to play D-day

[@Quadmetrics]

How to play d day please casper, that zong of yours really great

[@vampyrgeden2491]

@Abhishek Chambyal Learn how to write proper covers first. That way you'll learn the methods of writing an original, only you're rewriting someone else's work. When you want to write an original, the first thing you have to decide, is what tune it'll be played in. After that, you can play around with some scales accordingly. I skipped a few steps in-between, but those are the basics. A lot of new-gen guitarists don't know nodes or scales because tabs are so used online, but you kinda have to know them to use this method. I don't know what Capser does, but this is what I've done. Hope it helps.

[@vampyrgeden2491]

@Abhishek Chambyal An extra piece of advice: Feel free to make use of chords by using the tunes on the 6th and 5th string from the scales, and if you add a tune to the scale, it might improve the everything dramatically. Fx if you have an E in your scale, you can add tunes such as F, D, C and G on the same string.

[@hchdhsbcbsbzjxns]

This became my daily KZbin video for warm up and practice, thank you so much, this was very helpful

[@surajgaur9920]

words are less to explain! your teaching skills too good!❤️

[@vikrraal]

At 5:01 it went from level 1 to level 1000. As a beginner I find this illegal.

[@senseii2041]

Thats exactly what I was thinking

[@life9328]

YES!!!! Finally some really interesting teaching!!! It's late here (Montréal, Québec, Canada) but tomorrow morning I'm on it! Thx Casper ! (Salutations to all your friends in Denmark.)

[@CasperEsmann]

Go for it man, I'm glad I could help!

[@karvalio]

This was, by far, one of the best content I've ever seen on the internet. I wish we had those teachings here in Brasil... Thanks, Casper. btw you're an awesome player.

[@surajitdebnath6167]

This guitar lesson is too good for beginners like us!! Keep uploading fingerstyle guitar videos in continuation to this video and so forth ...keep rocking!!

[@demej00]

Love the swipe exercise. wow. Had to slow video down to .25 to see what was happening. So at 8:20 you are plucking A with thumb, pull up on open D and G, hammer on Em, pull up on D and G strings while holding Em chord, then swipe down on D and G strings again and then finally pull up on them.

[@Holaaparty]

i like the way you explained things. its clear and simple to get the idea.

[@CharlieRootsMusic]

Your swiping technique sounds like a good new age blues rhythm , I like .

[@Greyimm]

I never knew Where's Waldo learned taught guitar Would've saved me weeks of detective work

Blessed evening Casper. I am Gabriel from Ghana. I have enjoyed and learnt a lot from your video.I am absolute beginner and I would want you to be my coach.

[@sourishsarts3dmusic82]

I love your guitar playing especially D Day is my favourite one and I think maton guitar is the best guitar in the world, the sound of its ap5 pickup is beautiful.

[@manovikas6386]

I didn't find such fingerstyle exercise in KZbin till now. So Thankyou so much ;)

@ 8:51 That little bit of Oomph you are talking about is called muffling. The vibration of the strings are muffled by palming over them at the bridge below the soundhole on the guitar body.

Great Casper... Really helpful, hope you will teach d-day song next👍

[@BostjanBavcon]

Fantastic

[@sundrive2575]

Hi, I have a question concerning your first exercise with the strumming thumb. If I know the roots of my chords of choice than how I determine the rest of the picking strumming notes? I mean there were a difference between the strumming between your picking of chord E and chord C. So my question is where to find this pattern or how to learn it because I guess it's different for every chord right? Thanks for the tutorial I am gonna to practice it anyway.

[@zane24]

I have a question on where the thumb should exactly be placed for the boom chick exercise (whether behind the neck or visible/on top) also how that can affect playing.

[@JaredNotJerrad]

Since it took me quite a few variations of typing into the youtube search what i was hearing: the name from 9:30 is Kotaro Oshio

[@masatati8396]

Apparently I've been doing the nail attack technique without even realizing, simply through just lazy flailing of my strumming hand any time my mind is done focusing on "real" practice

[@changchen09]

You're really guided by the reliable guides I'm sure seeing your classic picking techniques! 🥲👌🏻 Also, it is really challenging even for someone who gave years of dedication in finger-styling but hardly does any exercises but more into playing songs directly 🫣🥴

[@ZaccoOfficial]

A tip for ultra beginners like me: learn Jim Jones at Botany Bay from The Hateful Eight. It's only four chords and gets you started. I got the hang of it in like 1 hour.

[@saz8219]

just subscribed! keep comming the good syuffs. Thanks mate.

[@ronhilton1044]

Nice one Casper. I love your laid back teaching style, reminds me of Tommy E. Thanks again for your inspirational postings here on YT. Rollo.

[@caiosouza6468]

Thank you, you are great!

[@itsallaroundyou7085]

Great lessons. I'll be working on that swipe. Check out Mississippi hill country blues. Even alot of the delta guys. Player percussion on your guitar has always been popular.

[@shekinahflockhart5388]

What can I do: I have relatively small hands and I struggle getting my thumb over the fret board to begin with, let alone getting to the stretched out chords??

[@ivan-vp6ex]

Damn I used to be kinda decent at this but then I after I picked up the acoustic again after months of being out of tune I found out that I'm hella rusty. Welp, back to basics we go

[@AlexusMagnum]

5:00 Is when I started having existential thoughts😅

[@battyflaps5410]

see when i first learned how to guitar i was told to use a plectrum and what i was doing was wrong so i learned to down pick and never use the thumb to fret etc.. I guess the teacher i had was the cheapest guitar teacher the school bothered with. He probably didn't even pass anything he was just like i play some basic chords on guitar so i get paid to teach lol.. When i moved on from the generic nirvana riff he was being a muppet about it and i guess the whole use a pick like this dont use fingers, don't use thumb etc is what got my mind set the way it was for guitar.. Now im trying to learn fingerstyle my right hands not playing as nice as i want since breaking it.. like i don't have the same co ordination in typing anymore and i use the computer probably more now than i did back then because i have more free time.. Cheers for the excersizes wanted to move on from generic power chords and metal grr music it got boring after a while.
