    Hello Cindy. Another gorgeous day here. It's clear and 46 degrees. The Lord is starting off magnificently. Obviously I am subscribed and if I could, I would subscribe twice. I love the way you explain and teach but, as I have said, your stories are important to me. You have certainly lived an interesting life. As much as I like this lesson on power chords, I would greatly appreciate a lesson on how you play the rhythm on the introduction of the video. I think I need to learn that rhythm from you. I'm talking the fingerpicking not the strumming. OK, enough talking> I hope you have a good rest of your day. Cheers and God bless.

      Greetings. I will think on the finger picking style. I need to find a way to break it down. Thanks so much! God Bless❤️

    Yeah you’re not the only one with subscription button phobics. That happens to much larger channels regularly. Nobody seems to understand why people keep rewatching videos and returning yet won’t hit the subscribe button. Someone needs to do a large scale RUclips study that focuses on that particular demographic. Point is, it’s not just you - seems to happen to every single channel. Just keep putting out good content that keeps people watching and engaged. The longer people watch (hopefully until the video ends), the more RUclips will recommend your videos. That’s what experienced RUclipsrs say anyway. 😂🤷🏼‍♀️
    I really think power chords were very helpful to me as I was trying to advance as a beginner. I was able to play all of my power chords before I could play all of my open chords for the precise reason you stated- same shape for all chords. It helped me play so many other types of songs while I was figuring out how to switch between those open chords and get all the strings to ring out.
    I don’s think enough professional acoustic players use power chords. I always wonder what that’s about. I always see them use open “cowboy” chords and barre chords, and far fewer use power chords and fancy/jazz chords. I agree that they are great for beginners and pro rhythm players alike.
    Btw, I knew the start of that Beatles song before you said it. We could all take a lesson (or many) from the Fab Four!

    Ah yes instant recognition on that ditty c to d intro... thats a fun one to play, I like to boogie woogie on that D when it starts with the open a to the 2nd fret sounds cool. I think I learned that from a clapton tune where you drop that normal 5 to 6 boogie an octave down... normal would be for instance in that pretty big blues standard hideaway by freddie king hey again the power chord but just adding that 6 and rocking back and forth on 5 and six... I am not remembering which clapton song that was oh it was something to do with a sally

    I've been playing a classical guitar for the last five months. While I really do like it, that 52mm nut is killer on my hand which is small with short fingers. I had a chance the other day to try one of the Yamaha NTX1 crossover guitars. Much more comfortable to handle. I'm seriously thinking of ordering one but wonder if I'll regret getting a guitar with an electric pickup when I know I won't use that. Should I go for it, in your opinion? (I won't hold it against you if it turns out to be a mistake. 😊)
    I'm from the Midwest and yes, I remember catching what we called lightning bugs. I don't think there are many left though.

    • @guitarnotions
      @guitarnotions  9 дней назад +1

      I always buy with a pickup. And sometimes I don’t use it depending on the guitar. The reason is it increases resale value. If you go to sell your guitar there will be more interested buyer because of the pickup. At least that’s my thinking. When buying a guitar
      , comfort is very important. Sounds like you found a good one😀

    • @LLewis-vu9qf
      @LLewis-vu9qf 9 дней назад

      @@guitarnotions -- Thanks a lot for your opinion. My classical is an introductory Yamaha and I think it's a pretty good guitar. Yamaha seems to have a good reputation and the NTX1 is the only one that I've had an opportunity to try even though it was for only a few minutes -- too much noise in the store to really tell much. I think I'll go back to the store and spend a little more time with the guitar. I'm sure they'll be able to order the color I want if I decide to get it. Thanks again. 🙂 I have subscribed and hope you get lots more.
