  • @Krustenkaese92

    it took me three years of playing guitar everyday before I even attempted to sing along, let alone write a song, because I was so scared of it. But it's really one of those things that you just have to start doing and suck for a bit. I hated my voice and thought my writing was no good, so there was a lot of insecurity, but you have to let that go and it's the easiest to let it go when you just start vocalizing. It's fine to feel uncomfortable at first. It surprised me how quickly I got used to it and how fast my anxieties left me.

      For. Me i can sing freely and no embarrassment when im alone but i am atmy family house and so theres alot and they will overhear how bad i am.
      So what i did was join them when they were doing karaoke and started to sing first sing my comfortable songs, and after that singing a song that has a key and melody that i cant sing and i completely butcher it up to show tht idgaf what they think, but no hate its mostly to encouarage my self to be me

    Hi Ayla, and thank you for the videos you make that are directed towards beginners. Beginners are anxious, they want to do so much on guitar, they are bursting at the seams, either with songwriting, or emulating their favorite players. I'm glad you are demonstrating the tools to help them focus on their goals. One thing that I have always taken to heart, and peace be upon his soul, something that Randy Rhoads told one of his students; "Use your guitar to express how you feel!" I think Randy would have loved your videos and your teaching style! I know I do, I have learned more from you, even after 45 years of playing, than any RUclipsr who says; "And I'm going to teach you how to play ( song name here ).

    Hey Ayla another Gr8 lesson .. I started by taking the chords of an old song & making up my own words .. I guess by now you have guessed coming up with lyrics is easy for me .. But I can't sing a cruel little joke on me Lol .. So I just sort of try talk or shout my way through the words .. Using all down strokes on a 1st song can help if you are not gifted Vocally . But main thing is just give it a go .. Nothing to lose but your pride Right .. My favourite saying at the moment is " Excuses only sound good to the person who is making them " Now a reason is a different thing But overcoming problems is so fantastic a feeling when you succeed . So to new song writers I say Keep a pen & a notebook handy beside your bed .. All the best ideas seem to come when you are falling asleep or just waking up .. or if you are travelling .. & Even one good song lyric half a line a day it all adds up & then do not be afraid to put all your best bits from 6 or 7 unfinished songs into one new song that is better .. I'll shut up Now . stay safe all ..

    • @MrJavabali

  • @brianmulhollem7618
    @brianmulhollem7618 2 года назад +9

    Good way to get started -- I remember being surprised when I first learned the template for using Major and Minor chords in a key-thought there had to be more to it. After that you just have to do it and work on it. You'll have some good and some bad although for me the hard part was adding lyrics to stuff. You can always just have chord progressions and throw something different in whether it is a diminished chord or 7th chords or just something odd you figure out and go with it. But you won't get any better at it until you try it out. I know I have to spend more time writing songs with all the fragments and ideas I have written down.

    Been “playing” for over ten years, but only really took it seriously this past year. Never been able to really get as good as i’d like, or write at all; now i know it’s due to not being able to focus because of ADHD. It’s so exciting now to be able to easily wrap my head around things like this, and actually be able to create music.

    Since I didn't see anybody post any chord combos (that she suggested at the end of the video) here's one of mine just for fun ...three parts, almost all open chords. String #'s are low to high:
    A9 to C9 (A9 = 0-0-2-2-0-0 C9 = x-3-2-0-3-3)
    D9 to Am to G/D9 to F9-Em (D9 = 0-0-0-2-3-0 Am, G & Em are standard open chords
    F9 = 1-0-3-0-1-x I use my thumb on the 6th string to cover that bass/root note)
    F9 add the B on the 2nd fret of the 2nd string to make it an F to G add the C on the 1st fret of the 2nd string to make G11...
    Play around with this...you can strum it, fingerpick it whatever...I play it slow for what that's worth.
