I remember watching this few months ago when I was just starting out with my guitar and I almost gave up because I couldn't change chords easily and it takes me a while to do it. Now watching this video again made me realize that it takes practice to improve in guitar and it's not impossible. It took me months by practicing everyday. I'm still a beginner but I was getting better at it and faster than I thought. Don't give up and practice at your own pace and remember have fun playing it.
Very inspirational words - thanks for sharing! I am just beginning myself and this kind of encouragement is helpful!
Update?
Thanks. This is encouraging.
Thanks you for the nice advise to beginner like me God bless you.
Hi Nate, I have been trying to learn to play the guitar, (I would love to play in the clasical style,) on my own. I am 72 years of age and have been teaching myself to play the guitar for a couple of years now. I should also say I am left handed. Now I have had the chance to look at your free lessons, I have to say that I have found them to be very interesting and, in the main, easy to understand. I have a couple of things I am not 100% shure about but these problems will come to me in time. I cannot thank you enough for taking the time and putting in the effort to make these lessons happen. They are the best present I could wish to have. I am very grateful to be able to find someone who does not try to make the learning harder than it needs to be. John.
I"m a left-handed 58 year old trying to learn. I'm a drummer and don't read a bit of music so it's an uphill battle but I"m going to keep at it. My fingers hurt!
@@instanding9528 well that took a dark turn 😂😂
John Jackson how’s your playing going?
Are you guys still alive?
@@godissantaforadults1056 xddddd
a good song to practice the exact chords mentioned in this video is "Hotel Yorba" by the White Stripes. Its a simple song and the chord progression is G-C-D-G for the whole thing. cheers
All of Nate lessons are the best Tom Knight

This kind of thing is so odd, how muscle memory just sets in eventually. When I first learned ukulele, the G chord was such a nuisance. Now I can change between chords with my eyes closed.
NeonLights how long did it take for that to kick in
Eric Follendorf a few months
I just picked up the ukulele last week and you're so right about the G chord! Em is tough for me to switch to, as well.
Thank you, Venus. I needed that. Learning guitar for 1 month now and it feels as if I'll never learn to do my cords smoothly, let alone switch between them. Using a mirror, and I feel I can't play without it, lol. Thanks again, I trust muscle memory will kick in eventually for me too. I have hope.
Yep, I was the same way w/ the G on guitar. I didn't think I'd ever get it. In my experience you go from seeing little improvements, to not realizing you are improving and getting frustrated to all of a sudden, "wow, I'm getting it" and finally, "I forgot how hard that was" hah
Who else got a guitar during this Covid19 Lockdown? Awesome lesson
I did
i wish i had found this channel earlier because i have been practicing playing guitar for a long time and i haven't been making change until i found you thanks so much
Glad it helped! :)
+GuitarLessons.com thankyou for teaching
Guitareo i praticr for hours
I've seen so many tutorials on guitar and Mr. Savage definitely lives up to his name =P
This is by far the best instructional source for guitar on RUclips that I've encountered so far.
Thank you.
This is one of most helpful series I have found on RUclips an absolutely fantastic companion to my weekly lessons. Thank you!
This is such a great lesson! Thank you so much. I love how you broke it down to smaller steps to make it feel easily achievable! Thank you! 🙏🏽🤘🏽
Thanks for this lesson Nate! I've now been able to play more songs, even ones that I don't know. All my chord changes also are efficient. I hope you post more goods soon!
Thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏼 I’m a beginner and your tutorials have helped me get through the frustrations and progress forward 👍🏼
you made me think positively before i quit.... Thanks youuuuu💚💚
I've been trying switching chords for a few days and your video really helped me out!! Thank you Nate!!
For awhile I skimmed through a lot of guitar channels, but I always ended up coming back here. You've got a really no BS approach to teaching that really works for me. No fluff, straight to the point, while still being entertaining.
thank you so much! this is really helpful! i can already see myself improving- not just in changing chords either. the elbow thing was really useful!
Hello Nate I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, your videos are great help for me. I have learned a lot from your lessons on RUclips. You have a simple teaching method, in simple language, which every body could pick up easily. You have taught things which other guitar teachers generally miss out. Keep it up brother. Thank you ..
Thank you so much sir , I have improved a lot thanks to your online classes! Amazing work
Just watched ur instruction....You do such an awesome job. You keep it simple for beginners, clear and great in showing us the How to. You take your time to show and explain...something us beginners need..lol I have looked at others, you do Great in teaching!!! Makes us feel comfortable and can follow... Thank You!!!
Thanks very much Nate,I have been improving daily,before seeing your video I was stalled but you broke it down and made it simple,thanks again so much, Darwin from West Virginia.
Your jam mix download is really helping me! Thank you so much!
After playing along with the Jam track I Finally feel like I've heard music from my Guitar for the first time in months. Thank you
Even after 8 years this jam session has given me hope. Literally the best tutorial video for chord switching.❤️
Brilliant lesson Nate. Keep up the great work. Thank you.
Seriously - this is a GREAT youtube channel! You do an excellent job of explaining the basics and the videos are really well done....happy I came across this channel
Thank you! :)
I was just passing by and started watching this.
I just started playing like 35 years ago and have to say this gent has put together a smooth lesson for newcomer's . All enjoy and great job on the video
I just bought a guitar and have been watching your tutorials and they are great and in less than a week I can play simple tunes... thank you! I am 58 and have never played a guitar in my life, I’ve always wanted too and now I feel I’m on my way. ( never would have tried until COVID-19 and had too much time on my hands.
This is great! Thank u! I've been struggling trying to teach my students how to correctly hold chords and this helps
Nate! This lesson is awesome. Give us more & we'll soon get there as beginner's.
Hi Nate, I am a beginner. Got my brand new Taylor 214 ce today! So excited to play it. Thank you for the video, it will help me a lot!
Awesome tips, seeing super quick improvements and it feels great! Thanks :)
Thanks, Nate, for a great video about cord changes. I am left handed and find I am a little slow in my changes but now I have seen this video I am going to try what you suggest.
Thank you so much for the advice! Its very obvious that you really want to help us less experienced guitar players to be better, and thats really what made this video feel so encouraging. Thanks a lot for the resources you provide. =)
Had a guitar lesson for 2 months about 5 years ago, stopped getting it because the guitar broke (it's an old 1980s guitar) and lost interest in it. Just got it fixed. See the whole Beginner Guitar Lesson from Guitareo, made more progress in a week than 2 months 5 years ago. Can't wait to see how far I'll go in a year. Thanks for the lessons!
this is awesome. how encouraging. this is what I'm going to work on till I've got it. thanks so much.....
I really like that you give a practice track at the end to play along to
This is excellent. you are an excellent teacher. Thanks!!!
Thank You Nate Savage for doing this....My husband Doug was the worship leaders at our church. Doug was an exceptional rhythm player and I strummed (unplugged) behind him because I can sing and I was usually learning something. He passed away from Covid in January and I became our church's only option for music. He was always buying me instruments Dobro, Mando, Banjo, a giant stand up bass, which we experimented with through the years. When he passed on I was on the Ukulele.
Have great rhythm, but Doug used to say I had weird strumming pattern. So many times he tried to show me....so many times I just wanted to get practice over with and onto whatever thing I thought was important at the moment.. What a hard lesson.. This has been a blessing to me. Thank you again and God Bless You.
Thank you for a very informative and practical lesson. A rank beginner at 77 years of age and your tips here have already increased my interest as the chords become recognisable in a progression. Stay safe and keep well.
Lots of great information in this video, and I've just discovered I've been positioning my left hand incorrectly. I thought my fingers were too short for some challenging chords, they weren't. Thank you!
Thanks this helped me a lot I started in January and I was thinking of giving guitar up bu t this video really helped me thanks
Thank you so much..I will keep on practising those 3chords...Its helpful as a beginner ( self train)
Nate, you are awesome. Your lessons are helping me so much. I am learning guitar just with the help of these tutorials.
Thanks. That's awesome!
Wow, u r just awesome mhaaaannn, what a beautiful tune u played at last, made my day....
Hatts of Sir.....!! ☺️❤️👌
This was great. Thank You. I will need a lot of practice to master this, but i believe i will eventually get it.
I've been playing bass for about 10 years, and just picked up my first 6-string acoustic guitar. It's a whole new world. I'm looking forward to expanding my musical/instrumental horizons! Thanks for the awesome vids.
+Yieldman You're welcome. :)
How the heck are you doing a G chord using your pinky? My fingers don't bend like that.
Thats what I said 6 months ago,keep trying it will come
Look up essential hand stretches for guitarists. The video helped me use my pinky finger and ring finger while playing cords.
Abe Unger I
Abe Unger it's practice.
I practiced it for about a few days and I got it.
Abe Unger use the 1 2 3 fingers
Thanks for this video. I am new and having trouble changing chords with speed.
I've made more progress in the last 5 days, than I had in the last 6-7 months.. Many thanks
Thanks Mr. Savage! Helps me a lot!

I like the strumming ,thank you for the lessons
Great lesson. Thank you 🙏.
go to the top of the tutors you are a star!! thanksxxx
You're a great teacher. I wish I'd found you sooner. The "234" g shape makes it so much easier in transition to other chords. THANK YOU!!!!
Great! You're welcome. :)
See, I know that 234 makes some transitions easier, but I just can't do it without accidentally touching the A string
That was really helpful. Thanks a ton for the guidance. 👍. Love from India.
I like the way you teach. It is really helping me. I have the chords down well.. A,G,C,Em, E, D, but switching i had pauses and it sounded awful
Jessica Anne how are you progressing?
Wonderful & helpful & informative video tutorial.. 👌🏻♥️🎸🙂
I enjoy watching your guitar lessons

+John Richelsen You're welcome. :)
I just bought guitar and I'm liking this lesson, it's very basic which is what i need now
I was getting so frustrated trying to switch and play G major before watching this, thank you so much you techniques are so helpful
Great lesson!
terrific lesson.
I'am a beginner at guitar and I have trouble switching cords. Thank you for this tutorial!!
I personally want to thank you GUITARLESONS. you are seriously helping me so much. I got a guitar 7 days ago and yesterday I only played about 25 min because I was so frustrated. Your videos are seriously helping allot and building my confidence playing. Seriously thank you man
Good to know!
great lessons and tanks for This
Thank you sir 👍 I have difficulty in wrist movement
that was fun playing along to the backing track!
Yes really helpful video but I'm still struggling with changing through the chords thanks for your help nate
Great Lesson!! Thanks!
this video really helped me changing chords really smoothly. thanks :)
+Aakash Rawal Awesome! You're welcome. :)
Excellent, thank you!
Thank you For This Vedo it's Helping me :-)🤟
great video! thanks!
Thank you, you are the man
it's beautiful. ...thank u
With C major I've found that just doing an A minor but moving your middle and ring fingers up one string works better for transitioning
Just awesome! Great tips and relaxed way of teaching.
Thank u so much sir.
Grtz from Amsterdam sub+1
Great advice!
Thanks and have a great day.
love you videos!
Great lesson and info. I like the technique of getting the hand on the cord then holding it there, taking it off "shaking it out" then putting it back. Do you think I should work on one cord that way until I get it mastered then move to the next and so on before even attempting to start with switching between cords? My biggest hurdle is patience, lol. I just want to play! Thanks for the video!
That was helpful.. Thanks ❤️
I love your method, it's working for me.
Awesome!
Thankyou soo much Sir ✨
Been playing for years - just getting back to the basics
Thank you❣️
