suitelife101545 :

Is it okay to hold it the opposite derection because I can’t play like that my left hand is bad

CoolTones1 :

You’re awesome! For a beginner, you really have a great way of explaining the “how”. THANK YOU!!!!

CoryandCarl :

My pick falls in the hole all the time! Your amazing! I love it })i({

olivia1ohh3 :

my fingers hurt!

Diversevidz :

with my right hand, should it rest on the bridge bit of the guitar? or actually on the guitar?

ron6deathorgy :

@MrGlasses2009 I keep my pic in the soundhole so others don’t flick it :P

travacef :

@apathyfilledmonkey You just need to push the strings as hard as you can. I am a beginner and i know your finger will hurt, but you just have to ignore the pain. If you have deep indentions in your fingertips… you are pushing hard enough. Hope this helps!

tamirmal :

you rock, i had problem with positioning my fretting hand
and your video helped alot, listening and looking at your hand
thank you!

apathyfilledmonkey :

alright, thanks for the tip.

scatman813 :

are you tuing the guitar? If not that I would get your guitar cheked out.

MrGlasses2009 :

haha yest4erday my pick fell in the soundwhole! :)

apathyfilledmonkey :

every time i hold chords like the d cord and i strum it, i keep getting a buzzing sound….it’s really annoying. is it because i don’t have finger strength when holding the strings on the frets? if you could maybe give me some idea on what i’m doing wrong, that would be great.

paj007 :

licklelivy :

@wesso343 thank you so much :)

wesso343 :

@licklelivy if you look inside the sound hole of your guitar box right under the fret board you’ll find a small hole with a metal thing in it… you can use a tool that usually comes with the guitar or just get one and twist it right or left until the strings are raised and not touching any frets

licklelivy :

My strings are to close to the neck it vibrates and its so annoying , how can i fix it?

shadowcat7879 :

Thank you so much for this video (= I was always putting my fingers towards the middle of the fret, because when I’m watching most people that is what it appears they’re doing … I have tiny hands, so it was frustrating. This has proven VERY helpful, thank you so much (=
