Simple, clear guitar lessons, for beginners and beyond.
My mission is to empower you to play guitar and have fun - especially beginners.
I have always found most music lessons too complicated and not focused on practical playing. I have become the teacher I wish I had when I was starting out: simple, clear, PRACTICAL and effective.
This is a nurturing environment for new beginners. If you have a comment, please make sure it contributes to the learning of new beginners. This is your opportunity to give others a hand up. I will answer all enquiries. Trolls, however, will experience the biggest billy goat gruff.
There are two courses "How to Retire your Capo" and "Learn to Improvise Lead Guitar: The Chop Shop", plus several playlists of guitar lessons here.
Try the "For Beginners" playlist.
"Intro to Fingerstyle" is my own, approach to teaching fingerstyle in a very simple way.
Have fun!

Learn all the notes on the guitar neck - with CAGED!
Pps And guess what else? You know when you”click where it says instrument “? Mine doesn’t say instruments! It’s like I’m bloody cursed; literally every time I try to do ANYTHING in this world (as in Pro Tools, logic, Final Cut Pro, word, MuseScore, etc. ) and it says “just simply click where it says blah blah“ I look it doesn’t say blah blah. I click everywhere else it doesn’t say blah blah. I try 5000 different things. It doesn’t say blah blah. I’m either completely cursed, or I’m a complete fool… what the hell? And yes, I have version 4.4.4. Screw it, I’m going to write it by hand. 🤣 May I end by saying this “Aaaaaarrrrrgggghhhhhh” !!!!!
Steve, You are not alone. I have been using MuseScore 3 since it came out. It is a GREAT program (imperfect, but very good), BUT ... HORRIBLE user interface. It took me DAYS of studying and watching videos and going to the Musescore forum to learn how to do the basics. The interface is improved in version 4.4, but still NOT intuitive. Please do me a favor and send me an email at bonar.harris@gmail.com. I have an idea that might be helpful (and no, I am not selling anything.).
There's got to be an easier way !!! Dear Musescore, Since you are GREAT at hearing us users... please add a "Guitar with Tab" option so that with ONE click we're off and writing. ps. Thanks for this tutorial, great job !!!
Hi Steve! They do have a template for that! In this video, I showed the long way around because my intention was to just show new users. around the program a little bit. How about I shoot a very quick SHORT video that shows the shortcut way? Stay tuned - I will post a SHORT in the next day or two. BTW, I am just a MuseScore User, just like you. I only recently upgraded to version 4.4 because I HATE upgrades. That's why i am doing the MuseScore videos - for me and for you! Hang in there! It DOES get easier.
Just buy a tuner bro
did you read the title of the video?
Good job!
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it!
super helpful! thank you.
Glad I could help!
Thank you very much❤
You're welcome 😊
Not helpful at all. What if you don’t have the tool.
If you do not have the tool OR if your bridge pin is stuck, then see my earlier video which explains how to remove stuck bridge pins without the bridge pin lifter tool. Hope that one is more helpful. ruclips.net/video/a4CegmlKzFc/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Are you sure your tab written on the screen is correct for each chord? Thank you!❤
I am pretty sure. I have taught this song privately 20 times, and I do check the transcription against the record carefully before I post. I will very happily have a look. Is there a particular time stamp location that you are concerned about?
@@bonarsmusic01That C in the Chorus seemed ... strange, but now I get it! Thank you so much, I appreciate your caring!❤
I just looked again. There IS a mistake. At 7:41, at the end of the musical interlude, the musical interlude resolves to the G chord pattern, but the C chord TAB is on the screen. My apologies. Other than that, everything is okay. just a video editing mistake, but confusing for you. Very sorry about that.
No problem! If "TAB for this lesson is available by request", could I have it, please? 😊
@No_Name_Really sure! Email?
"don't press too hard" -> me while playing SRV style bends: "This is fine."
SRV, and many other players, developed HIS OWN signature approach that encompassed many things, including strong gauge and instrument setup. Did he make it work? Yep. Did he get a particular sound? Yep. Did he do it the hard way? Yep. I am trying to teach beginners the easiest way to get results with the least pain. But there are lots of different ways to get the results you want. And if you have found your own way and you are getting the result you want, rock on! 🤘🏻
Never used a tuning fork. I heard SRV for the first time hit is open low E and I never forgot the tuning of that. I can tune any guitar to SRV half step down. I don't know how but I can hear in my head and I can match it exactly. I am not a pro musician just love it as a hobby to copy notes and play along.
Our ability to remember a tone we hear is a skill we can develop and improve, with practice. And it's a very helpful skill to have, as I am sure you have noticed. Pro or not, as long as you're enjoying your music, you are doing it right! Rock on!
Nice man!
Thanks!
@bonarsmusic01 your truly a master
i love guitar theory
I have a whole playlist of music basics for guitar. And if there is anything in particular you are looking for, let me know. Thanks for visiting!
Супер, дякую 😊
Мы очень рады вас видеть. Спасибо за визит!
thx
Thank you! I was just playing around with this song and was not sure i was hearing/Playing it right! You reassured me! Great song indeed! & i will subscribe.....
See part One as well! Thanks for visiting!
so if i play A it will vibrate (the tuning fork)
Well, I did not talk about that in the video, but yes it will. But only for the 440 Hz A. Not for the ones an octave higher.
Awesome idea
Thanks. I am shooting a few more in this series. Thanks for the visit!
Wow, started off with me just laughing at “the harder your nut is,” but by the end was incredibly informational. Thanks!
I am glad you got a smile out of it. It is tricky to discuss lubricating the strings without turning it into music hall comedy. 😀
Explanatory video of the song California Dreanmin played with the Am score, its melody with arpeggios and chords on the classical guitar you don't strut 
Hi, thanks. I broke California Dreaming down into three videos, I think.
thanks it helps !🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thanks for visiting!
Too much variability in how hard I may or may not be fingering the note, I’ll stick to my open string tuning with a digital tuner
The intention of this video was just to teach people where the note A is. You are correct that this is an imperfect tuning approach. It's possible, but not great. The digital tuner approach is the best way to go. Thanks for visiting!
I needed this
We all do!
He sound like the bright side guy
Thank you boner guitar very helpful😊
You are very welcome! Keep on playing!
Thanks Bonar. Great lesson as usual. Much appreciated 👍🏽
You're welcome!
Something my cousin teached me way back, is that if i played the fift fret on e the E string and the A string vibrated, they were in tune to each other... But I never learned what E was supposed to sound like
It's very helpful to train your ears to learn the sound of every string. It's doable. It's really helpful. Try this lesson as a starting point. And thanks for visiting! ruclips.net/user/shortsm6RMqLJOWBc?feature=shared
Jesus loves you all and wants a real and intimate relationship with you. Give him your heart and go all in for God. I can tell you from experience it’ll be the best decision you’ll ever make. God Bless!❤️🙏🏼✝️
I had no idea that was the case. Thanks Bonar!
You're welcome! Stay tuned! I am trying to release every day, if possible!
Guitars can't be " perfectly" tuned..!!
Well, in fact guitars can't be perfectly tuned for a variety of reasons. But this is a channel trying to help beginner guitarists. So I avoid discussing the specific limitations of the instrument because it is not helpful to a beginner.
I started with a tuning fork 55 yrs ago
I think it's a great way to tune, but it takes practice and it's hard to do in a noisy space.
Why the note A why not E or C
It is hard to be 100% sure, but the generally accepted idea is that A was chosen because all the stringed instruments had an "A" string, which made it possible for viola and violin and cello etc to all be tuned to the same standard. Important to remember that the whole issue of tuning standard emerged from the time when people began playing together - starting in early Renaissance and becoming very common around 1600.
Aren't the A in the B & E string in a different octave?
Yes they are!
Do you do requests? if so can you do a lesson for beginner it's a Johnny Cash version of 4 strong winds I cannot finger pick would love to see it with simple notes for intro Solo and outro and if possible, done in the D chord Thank you, Gary,
Yep, I take requests! I will do lesson for you asap. Within next couple weeks.
Thank You
I realize it may be more advanced than just using a tuner, but if possible, will you show how you can use natural harmonics to tune your guitar?! Thank you!!!
Yes! I have two short lessons already shot! I will edit and release both lessons in the next few days. Stay tuned! And thanks for visiting!
Can I help you grow your RUclips channel?
No thanks
@bonarsmusic01 I will make you work for free for a week. If it pleases you then what you say will happen
Good advice, I’ve noticed that the pegs hold better when you tune down and then up that way to get in pitch.
Just grab the string itself and pull it.
Thanks
That DOES work too, but you can only say so much in one minute! Pull the string will go in "episode 2". Thanks!
Sorry, but snark has given me and a bunch of my colleagues too many problems to call it reliable. We prefer the d'addario clip on tuners. They're fantastic in every way! And they can be hidden pretty easily
Sorry to hear that. I am not endorsing Snark - I have had pretty good results with the Snark, although the plastic case desiccates and becomes brittle after a few years. I have not tried the D'Addario, but I will take your word for it. Maybe I should do a comparison of low-end clip on tuners. Any other ones I should look at?
I used a tyre valve cap to push the pin up from inside
Great idea!
Tap tap
Not sure I understand your comment.
The tuning fork was the first instrument I learned to play !
I have fond memories of it myself. And still enjoy it!
What guitar do you use and what strings, it sound really good.well done
The guitar is a Larrivee 03 series. They are very good, for an inexpensive guitar. I usually play Daddario ej116 phosphor bronze strings.
Can I get one at 432?

Yep!
Excellent idea! Cheers 🤘🏴💟
Thank you! Cheers!
You’ll also be able to tell if your intonation is out
When I saw "my body sending signals as I practice..." I half expected it to be some sh¡tty nazi joke 😂
Nope. We don't do that here. Just guitar tips to help beginners. Thanks for visiting through.
Great beginning advice! Love the guitar!
Thanks!
Why is your fingernail so big?
I play fingerstyle guitar.
ruclips.net/video/1BVcJ7VRYoY/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Ohh so you basically use your fingernails as your pick
@@benikepe yes. This is called "fingerstyle" guitar. I usually use my thumb plus two or three fingers on my right hand.
cocaine
Ur vids always help me
That's why I do this!
I was horribly tone deaf as a kid but i never gave up music was my life and gradually my pitch is improving, i may not be the most talented but as long as i can sing how i want im happy
It's not a competition. As long as you are learning and enjoying making music, then you are doing it right! I am glad you haven't given up! And I am sure you have noticed, the more you work at it, the better it gets! Good for you!
ive always been able to identify pitch for as long as i can remember
That's awesome!
