    This is exactly what I want to see in videos on KZread that teach guitar: A relaxed, chill, motivating instructor who knows what they are talking about and make you feel as though you are in the actual room with them. Nice video! Thumbs up.

    Oh, and if anyone else has the small hand struggle too, you can also try starting the exercise on the second or third fret so they're a little closer together. It's good to struggle, but not so much that you feel hopeless!

    I Totally dug this! I've been just teaching myself guitar by feel and ear over the past year and I never knew "how" or "what" style I was playing due to me not knowing all the terminology etc.. I knew I wasn't doing all the normal stuff most lessons want you to learn, but I feel like if *A. it sounds *Good to me and *2 If I *Like it. Then I'm okay with it and I don't need to be following "rules" on how I supposed to play. I did figure however Whatever I was doing couldn't be a new thing, I just didn't know what it was called and pretty much haven't really seen people play like this. Turns out, I'm playing Hammer Ons! Thank You!!
