Great lesson Jared. Pretty sure I’ve been guilty of all those mistakes!
Fantastic tips!
Glad you like them! thanks, Blake :)
Definitely need some thumb pressure for bar chords on acoustic, and I have very low action on a Taylor.
You are missing a hyphen: “Self-taught guitarists”.
Yes, I woke up today and decided to be that guy.
Thanks for the video.
Thanks, Andrew, I really appreciate that! I often miss that kind of thing and I'm glad you pointed it out :) Cheers, -Jared
It’s amazing how I have never thought about concept #2 before. Yet, it is so intuitive! This will be something I think about as I pick up the guitar later on this evening. Thanks, Jared!! Jam on 🤘🏼
Glad it was helpful! Thanks ~~ :)
thank you a lot!!!
You're very welcome! :)
Hey! That's a great video! The way you showed your hand moving around the neck with your i-p fingers not changing because your thumb was also shifting was great!!!
Your rule of thumb advice is helping me get a more clear sound for those "off the 4th string" inversions. Thanks!
Glad that's helping, Sean! Awesome :)
Let's see all these techiques on an acoustic guitar!
Great idea, Allen. Thanks for the request!
Good tips
Glad you think so!
Extremely good lesson. Thank you very much.
As always, tips that seem to be overlooked until someone points them out. Thanks Jared.
You bet! Thanks, Stuart :) ~~ J
Great ideas. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Youre truly the greatest. Thank you
YOU ARE :)
Fantastic video, as always, Jared. Thanks so much! I was struggling with these exact self-taught and self-acquired mistakes over the past year or so, and I can testify that you diagnosed them perfectly. The only thing I couldn't get rid of entirely is my pinky insisting on flying in all directions. This still requires, as it seems, a lot of practice and discipline...
I wish you could make a video about exercises that will help me play the guitar without looking on the fretboard, another thing that I've been painfully struggling with lately. Thanks for all your great videos!
Thanks, Idan! Glad you found this one helpful. And thanks for the video suggestion. I'll try to squeeze that one in at some point. cheers. ~~ ** Jared
I think making a video on how to work on keeping the left hand fingers close to the fretboard and not flying all over is another good one I'll try to do. thanks!
@@soundguitar Thanks so much! It sounds great and I'll be looking forward to that one (and all the other as well). Your videos made my journey back to playing (after twenty something years away from the guitar) so much more efficient and enjoyable. It may not be very systematic or linear, but things are starting to fall into place once again and in many senses even better than 20+ years ago, much thanks to you.
I have a similar problem. One thing I tried, and I think it has helped, is to put a rubber band around the last three fretting fingers (middle, ring and pinky), which stopped my pinky from flailing around. Don't cut off the circulation though! With the rubber band on, I practiced using only my pinky and ring fingers, just walking across the fretboard at the same fret. It didn't take much to train my pinky to stay close to my ring finger, but I still throw in the exercise sometimes if my pinky starts misbehaving again!
I also did the same thing with my picking hand, as I developed a habit of resting my pinky on the body just below the first string. I thought that was probably not a good thing, so I put a rubber band around the last three fingers of my picking hand to stop my pinky from wandering off. It seems to have helped with this problem too.
So glad to hear this, Idan! Thanks! :)
Great advice. I am certainly guilty of mistake #1, and the others too. The challenge is to try to remember everything and do it all! The biggest challenge I have though is string muting. Similar problem, there's such a lot to remember and doing it all at once is a challenge. I've been trying to practice a bit at at time, but getting it all together is nigh impossible, for me anyway. I am constantly amazed when I listen to great guitarists, like Carl Verheyen et al, how clean the sound is. There is one note, loud and clear, and nothing else. How do they do it?
Thanks for your thoughts, Frank! Check out this video regarding technique and how to balance focusing on doing everything at once: ruclips.net/video/IpYNY_NSAAc/видео.html. It's the second video I ever posted, but it's a method I still often talk about and highly recommend. ** Jared
Thanks for another great video. I have to point out that the fret board on that guitar 🎸 is absolutely beautiful 🤩
Thanks, Jerry! :)
At 1:27 how you managed to play a bar without thumb pressure? Is this possible only on Electric coz my Acoustic is telling me otherwise.
It's possible on acoustic too for sure! though it can be a bit harder depending on the guitar. ** thanks for asking, -Jared
Hi from France Jared.
Very interesting. But I play nylon classical guitar. Is the technique the same? The nylon strings are higher, the electric guitar seems easier, because less pressure on the strings?.
Many thanks
Ive watched this daily so far since it came out
Awesome! A+ student :)
Re: #1 -- on an electric, this makes sense. But on an acoustic?
Yep, acoustic too! Of course sometimes *some* pressure is needed form the thumb, just not ALL the pressure and not constantly. ** thanks for asking -Jared
dang! acoustic is a bit difference but maybe i should learn on electric? pressing down to get a clear note is way harder on acoustic.
I started on acoustic so I know what you talk about. Yes you could learn it on electric and then go back. I press much lighter on my acoustic after I learned how to do it.
Thanks Jared. You really are easy to listen to and follow. Great tempo and clarity of speech and communication. Happy to be following you.
I appreciate that! Thanks, Stephen :) ~~ Jared
Thank you Jared for sharing this is a great video for all levels really insightful and helpful. Thanks for consistently posting great content.
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it. thanks! :) ~~
I never had the squeezing too hard or death grip problem, that’s one I don’t understand haha.
I do have a question though, kind of unrelated. I’ve been practicing inversions a lot, going through the circle of 4ths. I have the Real Book I mess around with sometimes and I thought maybe there’s some tunes in there that’d be good for practicing inversions and voicing leading with chords. Do you know any any standards off the top of your head that’d be good for inversion practice? I’m just trying to mix it up.
Wow, that's impressive that you've never struggled with the grip issue. Nice!
Sure thing: Autumn Leaves, All the things you are, Blue bossa, Solar, Fly me to the moon, blue in green, All of Me, Stella By Starlight, lover man, in a sentimental mood, Wave, - that should be a good start ** :)
@@soundguitar Aw man, thanks so much. Ive dug into Autumn Leaves and there’s so many ways you can play that song.
When I see something like an A7#9 I could probably just sub the A for the #9 right?
@@markgoodwin5306 yeah in that case you can just play A, or A7, or A7#9, or alter it in almost any other way such as b9 etc...
My thumb has a mind of its own
Rule of thumb: always be mindful.
I hear you, been there! :)
I think you left out one very important right hand technique mistake. A lot of players tend to anchor the right hand, with the pinky either on the pickguard or the first string and then reach with the pick using the thumb and first finger. It is important for the right hand to move freely up and down depending upon which string you are picking, so that the relative position of the right hand and wrist is somewhat uniform across all of the strings as you are picking. Watching you play in this video you appear to make this obvious, but you don't seem to mention it. This is one of the first things I emphasize to my students when teaching picking techniques.
Thanks Bruce! I also emphasize that to my students, and I used to be more adamant about it being "wrong", but over the years I've softened up from seeing so many very high level players who do anchor their pinky, so I now think of it as a school of thought or "camp" of players instead of a "bad" technique. Same thing with reaching over the to play bass notes with the thumb, which I never do, and it goes against technique that I learned and practice, but plenty of players do it well. I agree with you, but at the same I hesitate to publicly say it's something that must be avoided for everyone. Thanks for your thoughts!! :) **
@@soundguitar How true that is. Some of the greatest players that I have ever seen and heard have used techniques that made me cringe. However, if it works for you then I say go for it. Then again, perhaps if they had developed better techniques from the start, maybe they would have been even greater. Bottom line is, as I often say, "what's good for the goose is not always best for the gander".
