  • While filming the Christmas Chord Melody arrangements I realised that I had not properly covered the "Chord Rolling" technique I mentioned so I've made this video to explain it. Very very useful technique to learn, particularly for playing acoustic Chord melody arrangements and classical guitar. [Lesson ID TE-704]

    I really appreciate the work you do to teach guitar to the world, 6 years ago when I decided that I was going to play guitar you were my first teacher and the way you explain things made everything much more simpler.
    A long time ago I completed the beginner and intermediate courses and today I can say that they definitely helped develop my playing a lot.
    I just saw this video on my feed and realized that I never said thanks so here I am saying it now! Keep up your good work and thanks for helping me with something that changed my life!

    Thanks for this Justin. I've been teaching myself fingerstyle and this one technique has been elusive. Your instruction here has me on the way to finally getting it down. Thanks!

    My guitar teacher just introduced me to the roll but I couldn't get it right. I've made more progress in the time it took me to watch your video than in the past week. Peeling the fingers off made it all so obvious Thanks very much.

    "Love of My Life" by Queen features this a lot. When I was trying to learn the tune I asked for help on your forums, cause I just couldn't do these rolls and a lot of people helped with learning tips. Glad you now have a video on this.

      I'm literally learning "Fingerstyle Club's" version of that song and started searching for some instruction on this technique. First song I've attempted that has it.

    Nicely explained. Though there are lots of others, It's people like your good self and also for example Scott Devine (Bass),Julian Bradley (Keys), Warren Huart (Production/recording) I admire and focussed on for tips on technique and musicianship. All Very inspirational.

  • @EvgeniyNeutralMusician
    @EvgeniyNeutralMusician 8 лет назад +11

    First what comes to my mind is "Romeo & Juliet" and "Sultans of Swing" by Mark Knopfler. Great using of such technique there ;)

    • @justinguitar
      @justinguitar  8 лет назад +4

      +Evgeniy NeutralMusician Romeo is a kind of different extended and lots harder roll :) cos thumb plays 3 notes before fingers start. I find that one v tricky!

    • @EvgeniyNeutralMusician
      @EvgeniyNeutralMusician 8 лет назад +2

      +JustinGuitar Yes, true, agreed. For me it's even 4 notes with thumb finger, coz my fourth finger doesn't work now. So was relearning how to play without it. However somehow getting used to it. After all let's remember Django Reinhardt. Always inspire me not to low my hands because of my injury. And just play and practice... It's really great technique overall, gives really beautiful atmosphere. You know what I mean.
      Using case want to add, my gratitude for all stuff you made. Keep it up, Justin. Go on the same spirit. And till next time.

    You're right; it's so typical to do either the block, the strum or the "even spaced" picking , you might forget to check out other cool ways to spice up your fingerpicking. This surely made -my- todo list, as my style is a fingerpicking and strumming hybrid. I find it rather hard to get it right though but it's worth working on ^^

  • @jeanmcgrath755

    @olivierlauzon7610 6 месяцев назад

    I'm learning a new song with rolling picking hand chords, and I was struggling to get the right tone. I think you nailed it! This technique will definitely be in my arsenal!
    Is that a mini-jumbo size guitar? You like it for fingerstyle?

  • @fulinaround
    @fulinaround 4 года назад

    I was trying this technique all the wrong way by trying to pluck each string, one look at the video and I was already doing much better.

  • @bobbybongo5918

  • @billherbert4961
    @billherbert4961 Год назад

    Ahhh, life long learning. It just gets easy with experience right? I'll just practice this rolling chord for a few weeks so I can pull it off inconsistently for a few years. Then onto mostly consistently.
    On a positive note, I will do just that because I really do love playing this very difficult instrument.

  • @mangosplashes
    @mangosplashes 8 лет назад

    My index finger always sounds the loudest.. .blocking out the other string sounds unless I make them all super quiet. It's usually the finger playing the open string. Any tips other than to keep them all quiet? Or is it just a practice, practice, practice thing? :)

  • @jensenhealey08
    @jensenhealey08 8 лет назад

    Justin I think this is what's called a banjo roll, thouh that may have more finger motion. What you are doing is more wrist action than the way I have taught myself to banjo roll.

    Hey Justin, noticed metal bridge pins on your guitar!
    Would you please sometime make a vid with your opinion on different materials of bridge pins, saddles, exotic picks etc. and their influence on the sound?
    Just put a bone sattle on my acoustic - love the new tone! The moment I changed it I heard the sound became so much warmer and full, bassy.
    Thanks again for the great video!)

    • @justinguitar
      @justinguitar  8 лет назад

      +ыпвп ыпывкпвч One day I will. I liked the cosmetics of the pins more than the tone to be honest. And I didn't A/B it, but I should have. :)

    • @budandbean1
      @budandbean1 8 лет назад +1

      +JustinGuitar Hi Justin, I just saw this post and just wanted to second the idea about you discussing your gear in a future post. I didn't notice the metal pins but did notice black foam inside your guitar and in the past have seen the damping cloth above your nut and I've been curious what these items might do to your tone. It would be an interesting lesson about what, and what not to do to your guitar and what certain add-ons might do for your tone. Thank you, Buddy

  • @StalbansGary
    @StalbansGary 3 года назад

    How do you do this with a 5 or 6 string chord though please ? The video only shows the D chord which only uses 4 strings so suits the 4 digits being used ie thumb and 3 fingers.

    • @justinguitar
      @justinguitar  3 года назад +2

      Hi Gary - you need to make a decision which of the 5 or 6 strings are the most important to what you want to hear. You can still roll - thumb plus fingers 1, 2 & 3 but obviously not on adjacent strings.
      Cheers 😊

  • @CloudDugan
    @CloudDugan 8 лет назад

    is it totally needed to play with your nails, isnt it? i ve never let my nails grow...

    • @ljuglampa
      @ljuglampa 8 лет назад

      +Rodrigo Luna You can of course do it without the nails but the tone will be softer and not have a distinct attack. With nails like that it's like having a pick for each finger. There are finger picks on the market if you don't want to grow out your nails but they're kind of clumsy.

    • @JurcLe
      @JurcLe 8 лет назад

      +Rodrigo Luna If you play enough the skin on your picking fingers will get hard and you'll have a decent enough attack. Tommy Emmanuel for example doesn't play with nails.
      If you've just started though, it sounds really quiet.

    • @justinguitar
      @justinguitar  8 лет назад

      +Rodrigo Luna not at all. Mark Knopfler, Jeff Beck and Dominic Miller all use this without nails and make it sound awesome! :) it's just different, not better or worse!
