Best plectrum lesson I have ever seen thank you Richard.
Richard thankyou for your beginner lessons . I have been playing a couple of years now . Excellent tips and advice . I feel like I have really moved forward watching your videos. Many thanks Rob
thank you for posting these videos. I was an intermediate level with many bad habits. I have not played for 10 years (or so) and lockdown has reignited my passion. I'm starting again as an effective beginner and trying to learn good habits this time around. Your videos are helping a lot, explaining in an easy to understand way - with achievable practice exercises. Looking forward to more.
Lovely lesson! I must say that it's refreshing to see videos focused on fundamental techniques - it's a massive help!
Back when I first tried learning guitar I focused a lot on going through scales and chords headfirst, but I always found that I never got the hang of the different picking and strumming techniques - so my chords would sound same-y, up-down, up-down, whereas seeing others play you can witness the variety of sounds and rhythms you can produce with the same single chord. I'm not sure if you could at one point cover this subject and go through some of these right hand techniques - including the dampening ones you mentioned. But if you ever get the chance along the way it would be deeply appreciated! Thanks again Richard and all the best in the meantime!
Thank again Richards these post are great and very helpful you are the man 👍👍👍
Wicked. Thank you. Another great lesson
Thanks Rich. I’m a relative beginner but this downward plucking makes total sense. I’ve been struggling with scales and controlling my right hand. I think I have been going around the string a bit and it’s amazing how your right hand can get totally lost in the wrong string! I’ve now subscribed. Keep up the great work. Next is a new Faith guitar I think to replace my 20 year old Kimbara!!
This is great - the plectrum tip especially. I've been using a .43mm pick as the .73mm ones just feel odd. I've just put one on my desk to fiddle about with while I'm working.... The picking tips were really useful too, less of the old Pete Townshend windmills from now on! I don't think I've ever really thought too much about technique before so this has been eighteen minutes well spent - there's obviously a great deal of planning that goes into these videos and it's very much appreciated. Cheers Richard!
So important and helpful lesson. I tend to grab my plectrum too hard when the speed increases.
Richard, what are the tone settings you use on your amp. It sounds so good and then I play mine and well..... Thanks..
i realize I am pretty off topic but do anyone know of a good site to stream new movies online ?
👍 Good friend i take for me to playlist learn electric guitar. Thanks friend for sharing. Rock on!
Really helpful video once again Richard. I have a question, with picking hand, I noted that your r/thumb is pretty straight and wondered how important this was in learning good technique?
A great tip from Joe Walsh on one of his videos . He said the plucking end is most improtant .
Super lesson, Richard. My fingers actually go numb when I’ve been playing for more than half an hour, I know I must be gripping the pick too tight!
100% !!!😬
I have the habit of using finger style, but I found that using plectrum gives much better sound quality.
However, the problem is to have consistency of the volume and the accuracy are still hopeless.
But I know that training using plectrum will be my number one priority. Thanks Chief.
Cheers from Indonesia.
Excellent video for basic advice that beginners need, but is often missing from "how to play" tutorials.
i kinda agree with the basics with richard... the plectrum .....i returned to guitars just before the lock down thankfully. been 14 odd years since i picked it up. i could strum but did not know music theory and the important root note lol... so i have restrung my epiphone les paul . bought it in 1998 from shop in kent. been in case all these years . with your knowledge perhaps you could tell me what pick ups are in it . my point is this.... i am more confidant now with guitars but i struggle sometimes picking the next string when i find myself playing the wrong string because i am not fully one with the pick. you are so correct in your thinking. how ever if i put the pick down and use my fingers i have no trouble hitting the string i am playing. i have tried the alternating picking which i am bit better at hitting the strings but the finger approach feels so more natural. And you are bad for my bank balance lol.... saw your up load of faith trembesi neptune and bought one 2 months ago. so glad i did. lovely guitar. furch blue is next in dreadnought from you . keep the tunes rollin richard ...
Brilliant Richard and top advice about keeping a plectrum in your hand whenever possible. Most tutors neglect the importance of right hand technique. " Hugging the string " is a cracking way to explain how to use a pick - you are a natural teacher brother x
Really good that Richard, pitched at the right level for me as a beginner. Also great to have an exercise to work on using the Jam pal need to get my order in sharpish ! Thanks vm.
Love the Gold top, great sound.
Lee Shelton A gorgeous Tokai goldtop at £499. Beautiful
Thanks for this, i learned a lot for today.
Cheers Richard. I wish I'd learned this disciplined way of picking as a beginner. Trying it now takes real concentration to overcome 40+ years of my totally haphazard self-taught way of doing things!
Hi Richard, love your lessons and you are a great teacher. I was wondering about the counting, that is when you count the downbeat as you explain in the lesson on 1-2-3-4 and the upbeats on the and or the upstroke. Now this is what's troubling me when you are playing the C major scale you start width downbeat on the note C then upbeat on D, then a downbeat E end then a downbeat on F, then a downbeat on the G. Now on the downbeat on the note G the counting is 3 in the bar. Then you do another downbeat on the note A but technically it is a (And) in the counting and the nest note in the C major scale is B out to be the 4 in the bar and as such a downbeat. But now the 1or the root is on an (AND). it is hard to explain this in writing especially if it is not in your native language, but I hope you get the idea.
KIn regard,
Mooncooper
mooncooper no I totally understand and that is correct so only use that 1 and 2 and as a way to imagine the spacing between the strokes. As you can see it won’t occur as you play through a scale depending on the number of notes etc. Ok? Basically don’t stress about that. Sorry if it confused you
Ya lessons are really helpful
this will be an amazing lesson after my first coffee !!
Are there more of the Blues lessons to come?
Of course yes. Love blues!
I note you tap your right leg when playing, which jiggles the guitar, Is this the preferred method, or just your way, only asking because I do this and loose control. Lol
Thomas chalmers lol.... must put in notes jiggling legs is a distraction to viewers!! However indeed foot tapping is a common way of keeping a self timing device going
That guitar makes my heart ache! I have an OC6 on the way from you so I must look away. Maybe for Christmas haha!
