It is fantastic to see a young Nigerian women so fluent in the universal language of guitar, an instrument that gets so little attention in Nigeria, unlike in the Congo, where guitar players like Flamme Kappaya, and Olivier Tchimanga, are mega-stars at home and abroad. Hopefully we will be hearing a lot more of Ms Helen Ibe's guitar mastery, and that she in turn will help awaken in Nigeria, a guitar revolution that will enrich the music industry. Any amateur performer can play recorded rap beats, leap about and shout rhymes while waving their arms about, but it takes many, many hours of disciplined, dedicated music theory and practice to become a true guitar master, of the caliber so eloquently demonstrated in Ms Helen Ibe's youtube videos. My humble prediction is that within a few short years, Ms. Helen Ibe will attain monumental success as a guitar player and performer, if not in Africa, then most certainly in the USA or Europe.
I'm glad that you are using the pinky with your excersize. Myself like a lot of guitarists have avoided using the pinky. Hopefully these excersizes will get me to use my pinky more. Thanks.
Love your presentation and the simplicity in which you convey the techniques to the listener. I’ve been playing for many years and this video has made me look at a different way to increase my speed!!!! Thank you so much... KEEP JAMMIN’ my sista’👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎶🎸

Great advice Helen. I would say that 10min of alt picking practice per day, every day, will yield amazing results for most guitarists after a year or so. One thing that you mentioned - but worth saying again - is to relax the picking hand/wrist/arm/shoulder as much as possible while doing these exercises. It is so easy to tense up (esp if sitting), to hold one's breath, to clinch teeth and to have a lop-sided "up-shoulder" thing happening - sometimes play in front of the mirror and check for this last one! Thank God for the metronome too, gotta play in time ...
I am very passionate in learning how to play guitar,,,just started last. I love the way you have simplified your presentation. Expecting more from you,thank you
Oh lala! Wonderful dear beautiful Helen. Congratulations! You're a gifted woman with quqlity elegant. I'm old now, but you're just inspiring me to start playing. You're a blessing for people and people are crazy for you darling. Enjoy and be blessed!🙏🏽
Am 65 yrs I began guitars before I started school in sub one at seven years and never went to any school of music in zambia until music notations by a UK group thrice I find this helpful for my students and I thanks though I had already undergone in a congolese band
Thank you beautiful, this is helpful with my nearly seven years of guitar, including what you said about the elbow on the " picking "arm. Unfortuately , I haven't used the metronome,So I need that to finally improve my speed. I'm glad you were suggested.And thanks for the new finger excercises
I like your way of teaching how to play this guitar. This is great I will embark on training myself along with your tutorials. Kindly keep posting those theoretical and practical skill. From today am your student. May the lord multiply His grace upon to reach out to many in Jesus Name
Very good exercises. I am a saxophonist who plays some guitar . I am okay with knowing the fret board but have been looking for fun ways to increase my picking speed. I will get to work on these exercises that you show here. Thank you!
I must confess that I came here just to discover your voice and I am positively surprised. As for the guitar, I think I should master basic cords before involving in crazy picking and fingerstyle madness. I come back to this nice course later.
I play the guitar the rhythm style, from my childhood days, but the picking has always given me problems. I guess the reason is that i never sat in a guitar class, hence being badly self-taught, worked against me. I therefore see this internet lesson as a means of improvement.
You are such a great teacher! I started learning at the beginning of this year, it’s been tough! I gót callouses but i am not giving up. I will camp here for more tutorials. You make learning to play so much easier! You got a new sub! God bless my sister 😊
Very Important Concept for Play Guitar . .. " Semplicity on Appreciat on Istrument and Learning of Sound ". .. Very Compliments for this Job's on Didact and Guitar Lesson. .. Many Thans Helen. .. So Good ... ☺😊😀/💙💙💙/👍👌👏👋
You accent is beautiful. I love your explanation. I can watch you for hours! You make me want to buy a Fender Stratocaster and an amp! My left fingers are numb from a recent stroke but I'm still gonna try this! God bless you Lady!
Hellen i have all along desired to play guitar, with this simple careful instructions surely will improve my picking and playing guitar. Appreciate you so so much
Hi Helen, I loved your lessons and I'm interested to become one of your students, kindly I pray you to link me to your entire tutorial class, advise if charges as apply
I'm happy I ran into you. I was practicing alternate picking with chords. I'm going to definitely try it with your patterns. Congratulations on your cool demeanor. So encouraging.
Wow, this is amazing, a woman teaching basic guitar methods and the use of plectrum. Oh, in fact, I know that the first lady virtuoso guitarist was a black American. I don't recall her name but you can google it. Most male guitarists were outplayed by this woman and they ended up bowing down and asking for lessons!!! That black woman would KICK ARSE on guitar playing even the legend ELVIS Presley begged her for lessons!!! Thanks.
I love the lessons here. Kindly tell me How long it did it take you to learn guitar completely? It will help me so that I don't give up along the way now that am learning slowly
Conversation between Helen and slay queen.. Slay queen: Helen I love the way u played guitar and i would loved to play like you. Helen: Of course you can play more than me if you really want to and put much effort Slay queen: I know but my artificial nails will not let me Helen: can't you get rid of the artificial nails like me? Slay queen: no ooo,,how do you expect me to stay without fixing my nails!!! All the slay queens,can you see your fellow woman doing more than men? Helen God bless your hustle and indeed your hubby must be one of the luckiest man to have you. Keep doing what you love doing.
Thank you for your lessons I really appreciate it I never thought of it like playing a chord in telling a story that's interesting I've been trying to nursery rhymes and getting their thank you
I have just started to teach myself and this is very helpful. I’m a professional violinist so I have a better understanding. Are you Igbo? My husband is Igbo and represented Nigeria in the 84’ Olympics in boxing.
Much obliged for lesson. Thanks for new cheats in our beloved instrument))) Really enjoyed of listening your playing explanation , and also watching your lightful smile and listening cute voice. Thank youuuu)
Thanks for sharing. I have been learning this Guitar for fast 1 year now but still can not change my Fingers without looking at the Guitar. It's so difficult to play Guitar. The worst is that I never knew it's so difficult till it became compulsory that I most learn it. May God help me out. My Fingers are dependant on one another when it's comes to changing the Keys.
I've been 'playing' for 30+ years. And now a young Nigerian girl is teaching me all kinds of helpful lessons! Thank you, sister.
Too fast

Yes yes but Flamme Kapaya is at another level bro. Even Halen will tell you better. I'm a guitarist and I know what I'm saying.

Wow! Thanks, you have helped me tune my guitar.
You are a great teacher Helen. 🙏🙏🙏

Girl! You are a great teacher. I 've been trying to pick for a long time, watching you and how you hold your hand I got it now. Keep posting!

A question in my mind is, on an average practice of say, one hour a day, how often should the strings be changed?
You are such a great teacher! I started learning at the beginning of this year, it’s been tough! I gót callouses but i am not giving up. I will camp here for more tutorials. You make learning to play so much easier! You got a new sub! God bless my sister 😊
