Finally I started playing scrum, this video is so cool for any beginners. I have been learning guitar for 10 days and I do practice one hour daily, you just need to have patience. Don't complain about this series, all videos are wonderful, very soon I will upload one video on scrum. If you want to subscribe not to miss the video, all are welcome. And few tips before starting: 1. Cut you nails because you can't press the strings properly. 2. Stretch fingers before starting. 3. Take a gentle finger massage in between because you'll have a lot of pain on finger tip 4. Just one hour everyday, and play slow 5. A lots of time your finger will touch another strings too, it will happen for few days 6. Record yourself everyday, it feels good when you see how you started until scrum :) 7. Stop making excuses And finally a ton of thanks to you. Sir, you're AMAZING. Please wish me good luck :)

My wife bought me a cheap acoustic for Christmas, and although I am having a hard time finding time to practice sufficiently I am now able to play and switch between these two chords, and even have a simple "song" I play while practicing. I am totally stoked and looking forward to being able to switch between the chords in Lesson 9. I'm 42 and never thought I would be able to play music but now my dreams are being realized.

Hey, Nate. Thank you for the very helpful, professional videos.

I just bought and tuned my first own guitar, and I appreciate so, so much that these videos are here. I tried learning from text-based tutorials but it's so much easier when you see it in motion. I have somewhat stubby fingers and based on how our music teacher used to teach basic guitar in senior high I thought I wouldn't be able to play a normal-necked acoustic, yet here I am.. Working on putting my fingers on strings without looking right now, I can remember how to form the chords in my mind but my fingers are still lost unless I stop to look at them for a while. :D I'll give it a day or two of practise so I get my fingers to obey me better on the neck of the instrument, and probably learn these two chords as I go, and then move on to the following videos. :) Guitar playing has been a dream of mine since forever yet I've been too poor to have one, but now I finally got one, and I decided to learn to play before moving on to a higher cost electric. Thanks for these videos, they are REALLY good! \m/

maybe this comes a bit to late, but: try to stretch your fingers everyday and try to reach the chords everyday over and over again... in a few weeks you should feel the progress. And dont get discouraged, learning an instrument is a long process :)

The more you practice the easier it gets. I've been practicing chords for a month now and can play them pretty well. I've also been playing RockSmith and that's made learning how to play stress free and way more enjoyable.

i cannot tell you how grateful i am for this lesson, and the others, and for coming across them in general. i learned basic guitar skills back in high school, but i was never patient enough to truly commit to the instrument. i want to try again, and i'll go as slow as it takes to be able to master it. your lessons and tips both helped me remember what i had forgotten and learn new skills, like tuning by ear. thanks for posting.

Having small hands won't really hinder you much. There are many players with all sizes of hands. It's all about technique, and building up flexibility over time. Try pulling your elbow closer into your body. This can put your hand in a better position to reach the notes. You might also want to try using the classical method for holding the guitar with a footstool, or standing/sitting with a strap. This will bring the guitar up higher and put it in a better position for reaching the notes also.

im having sturggles with the G cord its just that when i get my get my ring finger and middle finger in its okay but when i add my pinky my ring finger drops and blocks the string below it what should i do

First of all , Thanx tganx rhanx thanx thanx a lot for this videos.. These are really awesome and soo easy But I have some queries Frst is - do we have to totally neglect the string which is marked as X , I mean by not playing that ? Second - How can I know that my chords are playing right? Can you prefer some mobile app for this please ....

thank you for taking the time to put this together I am 36 and always wanted to play guitar I finally made the commitment and these videos are by far the best, developing muscle memory callouses and proper posture are a challenge that I'm working on as you said my fingers hurt bad but I know they'll be fine soon

you teach very clearly

When im trying to make the different chords, i push down right behind the fret but for some reason it still like mutes or buzzes, are there any common mistakes i might be making?

hello sir, tip of my finger touch other string as they are fat even when i bend my hand and touch with tip.pls help me

this is amazing, thanks mate.

Hi Nate, Could u plz let me know how to avoid brushing up against the neighboring strings . ??

I have a problem, when I place the tip of my fingers on (directly in front of) the 2nd fret of the D (4th) String, I get a buzzing sound. However, when my finger is directly behind the second fret, the buzzing is gone, is this normal?

hie i really enjoyed learning but my hands cant reach the three strings together in the c major cord plz help me with that

really nate u r a very gud teacher...

How do suggest i learn how to play the electric. should i skip to lessons that pertain pasificly to my gutar or not ps im a total beginer

Should we press the fret hardly or something like casual type coz when press it hard my finger tips pain

Hey Nate I am having slight problems with this as i am quite unclear what my left hands fingertips are supposed to be doing Please help

What is the concept of black and white dot over a string. And the black and white circles for numbers. I still don't get it. Thanks

Hello I'm I find that when playing various chords I keep muting strings by accident. Do you have any advice?

Nate, I genuinely appreciate these videos. You convey the information in a concise, sequential, clear, and fun way. Started these two chords this evening. Thanks a bunch!

good to learn

hey nate im really glad that ur posting these vids but i just have a problem first do i push down the chors or do i put my fingers behind them second every time i press the D chord the g chord doesnt make a sound cause it hits my finger any hel please thanks

My 3rd finger for C chord, can't reach the end of the fret, but comes somewhere in the middle, and i basically cant distinguish between Am7 and C major chords' sounds. I have to 1st put 3rd finger and then 2nd and 1st, instead the other way round, in order to have a perfect position for C (which thus actually involves a lot of shifting) What should be appropriate from here?

I'm right handed should I be strumming with my right? Because it's hard for me to use my left to do the notes and my fingers are short and fat and it hit the bottom string I tried to use my right to do the notes and it seems easier.

I can't really get my fingers on the point of the note without actually canceling the note below it, is there any tips about it, because the notes start to sound twice as low as it is suppose to?

amazing vids

So my problem is that I can reach the strings but my fingers are also hitting adjacent strings so it mutes them. Any advice? Really appreciate it and ur videos r gr8. Keep doing it.

I have one more question While strumming downward it's totally fine but when I'm strumming upward the High E string is a bit louder than the rest what should I do?

Hey Nate, I have issues trying to strum the guitar properly as my fingers blocks another string when strumming a chord.

I might need to get a tuner Tried to do the A minor seven couldn't keep my fingers off the others and kept missing the chords I was holding Got distracted and started tuning up until the lowest snapped was an mile metre away from a mental breakdown I couldn't do it anyway my fingers are too long below my tips only my rude through pink couldn't hold only the intended plus I'm left handed on a right hand guitar not that it matters both hands are inept whichever way I hold it

I'm having problems with the C major chord, as it's hard for me to place that third finger behind the fret, while keeping the other two fingers behind the first and the second frets, as the third finger automatically goes upwards, and my whole hand just bends in an awkward way. Am I doing something wrong? or should I continue with this, and hope to get better ?

While playing C major chord, I put third finger on A string but My third finger slightly touches D string and leads to Mute it while playing. In the same way, When i put second finger on D string, It also gets slightly touches G string. What should I do ?

I have a really hard time playing the first A min 7 chord. The first finger on the first fret of the B string is next to impossible. I always mute the E string or can't press down hard enough on the B string. It seems either my nailbeds are just too long (even when I cut off the white parts they still stick out somewhat), or I don't have the necessary finger strength. Is it my hand position that's the problem?
