    I've been having the *hardest* time trying to learn this technique, particularly the snare "slap" and strum at the same time. Either I mute the strings when I try to slap and strum or I don't get the slap right.
    I don't know how many tutorials I've watched over the last several months trying to learn this, but finally found yours and I think it's brought me the closest I've gotten! Thank you!! 🎉🎉
    If you (or anyone) can give me any tips that help, I would love that. Cheers!

    There's a thing about freshly tuned guitars, but usually it's hard to keep them in tune if you play for a while, and sometimes it sounds better or more original out of tune slightly.
    Theres also a tuning for standard where each string is slightly flat, but still the right note.

  • @GUIDESPERSPECTIVE

    simple lesson and clean advice. Although I have to disagree with folks beating the crap out of the guitar. I think it rules. Mike Dawes, Marcin, these guys are insane. I am percussionists and drummer that plays guitar but mostly I play the guitar like a drum. I use rudiments and respect the discipline and how difficult it is to play the rythms that folks like Mike and many other mega talents that can still play guitar and get all those delicate and beautiful runs and embelishments.
    Most folks can accomplish what you taught in this video in a day, but the stuff like those guys that "beat the crap out of the guitar" Takes years or decades to master. Nothing but respect for those guys. Watch some of Mike Dawes stuff and then come back and tell me that is beating the crap out of the guitar and you don't like it.

    This is fantastic! Thank you so much for presenting these techniques so clearly. I noticed when I play the kick, my shoulder ends up holding my arm so that less of its weight rests on the guitar. I also noticed that my shoulder moves a bit every time I play the kick. Is this part of the correct technique, or should I adjust so my shoulder stays more relaxed? Thanks again! Can’t wait to check out more videos, once I have the basics down. :)

      Six String Fingerpicking yeah look it sounded better this time around for most of the lesson. But I can’t believe how much this tutorial has helped me pick up the technique. Took me 15 minutes to get the basic rhythm down and now I’m applying it to a bunch of other songs to give them some extra feel, like the James Bond theme. If you know it, I really recommend adding this technique. I’ve only been playing guitar for a year and a half, primarily fingerstyle, with no formal lessons, just learning songs from RUclips, then some theory to compose my own and instrumental covers of songs I love. Now I’m getting into techniques and I thought this was a technique for gods who’ve been playing for 15+ years and that I’d have to wait forever, and if not for this lesson I think I might’ve put it off for a lot longer than what I did. All I’m saying is if you stick it out, guitarists will be swarming this channel. But seriously thank you so much for this. Um you wouldn’t by any chance know a good way to syncopate the beat would you :)

    So I got a question I have been playing guitar for a while and wanted to learn percussive playing lately but I am afraid of damaging the guitar. I have seen some guitars pretty worn out by playing percussions on them and of sweat coming off the hands as well on the paint. Any tips around how to avoid/minimize that? Also some videos suggested installing an extra pick up in the guitar to get a more deeper bass and snare sound. I already have a piezo installed in my acoustic electric, where would this extra pick up go? and more over does it actually make that big of a difference while playing plugged into DI or a PA style amp for acoustic guitars?

    Thanks for the crash course! Good stuff... So I'm coming from a Flamenco and Classical guitar techniques background, so is so different for me, but I would love to learn to integrate this. Great lesson, except for one thing I can't figure out. I need to have my right arm off the guitar to get the leverage to snap my wrist into it for the bass sound. But that would be impossible to sustain, as your shoulders have to much tension. How are you snapping it so well without separating your arm from the guitar? Wish I could see a side view of this, Any suggestions.. Thanks so much!

    Could you kindly add a slow motion close up? Or do you have some advice?
    I hope it will click in sometime... Anyhow, thanks, it is so inspiring!

    Also is it normal that the snare strumming at the same time is really hard for me? Cause the strumming is a softer motion, the snare a harder one, right? I cannot have the two parts of the hand not do the same "roughness" of motion, if that makes sense. But I'll keep practising..
