So when I hold the guitar I have watched videos on how to do it correctly but it seems like my strumming hand is always uncomfortable. Like the way I have to reach around the body. Is that something you just get used to? I feel like it keeps me from being able to keep my hand against the guitar while I pick the strings.
 | I look so short 😠I should've stood next to something smaller or at least normal size but whatever anyway I finally got my guitar fixed I have no clue how to play it so any tips for a newbie (I don't want to master it I just want to play for a fun little hobby so anything helps tbh) [link] [comments] |
 | New to playing guitar, my tuner has these numbers at the bottom of the screen. It starts at 430 goes up to 450 then restart at 430. Anyone know what this is for? [link] [comments] |
I’m a newbie and am learning how to hold a guitar pick. Am I holding it the right way? with the pointed part of the pick facing the guitar? I’m also trying to learn strumming with a pick. It seems that the sound of pick is really loud when I try to play guitar with a pick. Is that normal?
So I think it's time to start focusing on learning and memorizing notes and scales during my routine I'm going to start with pentatonic scales and I think the best way to go abt that is to learn licks, what scale they're in and each note in that scale I'd like some suggestions on licks for a beginner to learn if you have a better method or js a good way to practice please lmk
At what point do you guys feel this way? Not just learning to play guitar but that you CAN play it. What skills are needed to feel this way about guitar? I have learned 3 songs so far and i dont feel this way yet
I have a question for guitarists who are above 60 years old. I am curious to know what happen to us as we get older as a guitarist. How does the aging brain affect your guitar performance in any way, in terms of memory, eye problems, fingering, etc.?
What are the things you can do when you were young but not anymore? Can we keep improving our guitar performance regardless of our age. Thank you.
 | I've been playing guitar for a while and I've come across whatever this is called in a couple songs I tried to learn. I can't find anything on the internet explaining it, most likely because I don't know what it's called. How am I supposed to keep the other 4 strings muted while playing 2 notes at the same time, that aren't on strings adjacent to each other? [link] [comments] |
I feel like I must be doing something wrong - my left hand (the one that navigates the fretboard) is positioned with my thumb on the neck, basically on the round part in the center. I feel like this is the only way for me to move my hand accurately around on the fretboard, and by putting pressure against my thumb, it seems like the only way for me to form a barre chord - making sort of a pinching between my thumb and index laying flat.
The downside to this is that my thumb hurts pretty bad after playing too many barre chords. Is this something I have to strengthen up to? Am I doing something horribly wrong? When I look at others playing, they seem to have their thumb up over the top of the fretboard, but I get no leverage this way and its very hard to wrap my hand around the guitar to form any chords.
I've only been playing for a short time so its totally possible I'm just doing something way wrong, in which case, how can I really learn the correct technique?
Hi all; I was learning a D pentatonic minor and when looking at the scale pattern a question rose in my head, and a google search failed to find the answer. Let us use the D minor in a vertical pattern starting from the 3rd and ending on the 13th, which would be, from low E to high E:
Low E: G/A/C // A: D/F // D: G/A/C // G: D (?) // B: F/G/A // E: C/D/F
Low E: 3/5/8 // A: 5/8 // D: 5/7/10 // G: 7 (why not F on 10?) // B: 6/8/10 // E: 8/10/13
My question is in regards to the D on the G string, why not play the F on the G string also instead of just the D? So G: D/F // B: G/A. I noticed if playing just up and down the scale between the 3rd and 7th the G once again only has a single note, C. Why is this and how is it determined?
Thanks for your time.
Im not really sure if this is something reddit can help with,but im struggling greatly with a certain part of jigsaws falling into place. Ive found no videos that could help besides one that just gives tabs. There is a rythm posted above it but im really struggling to keep along with it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr4hwUY_Lhs&t=56s (verse 0:57) 9x000 chords along with the slide from 12 to it and so on.
video title: Radiohead - Jigsaw Falling Into Place (Acoustic Guitar lesson with TAB)
idk if someone could demonstrate it to me in a slower way via video or some other way of explaining
