When you get older, you'll realize these are just rebellious thoughts stemming from your hate for school or teachers. RUclips is great, but school is irreplaceable.
you prolly dont give a shit but if you guys are bored like me atm you can watch pretty much all of the latest series on InstaFlixxer. Have been watching with my brother recently xD
I played guitar for nearly 20 years and this is the best explanation I've ever seen of this I was obviously skeptical of 5-minute learning but this guy's for real
@@ec6933 I guess so but wouldn't this be easy for now also im wondering because I cant find any good videos for fingerpicking im trying to learn a song but in one section I have to play one string really fast any tips because I honestly can't go as fast as I need to
I just started learning to play the guitar after decades of drenching myself in music and deciding that I could not go to my grave without knowing how to play, if not to play the guitar well. I have just over two weeks under my belt and for sure I'm just a beginner. Thank you very much Tony. I have eight chords, one scale, one finger picking lesson, and four callouses that I have learned and earned thus far. Much of this, thanks to you. Please keep doing what you are doing.
You are a prodigal. I’m at four months as a 66-year-old beginner and still working on eight chords and their transitions. I’m a lefty, so now I am just starting to integrate holding three chords and working on my left hand finger picks. Focusing first on training my left, picking hand, on aligning the fingers with the correct strings, has helped me now that I am moving into holding chords and doing the fingerpicking drills. So as a beginner, I kept it simple and started with my picking hand to train my fingers on that hand, then move to learning chords with my right hand, and I’m now back to training my picking hand utilizing three or four basic chords.I apologize for describing this inelegantly but I thought it might help another beginner.
Tony, thanks so much for your videos! I've been playing guitar for about 16 years but only started taking it seriously in the last 5 years or so. I am self taught, could never afford lessons, so I have some bad habits that have really hindered my progress and playing. Since watching your how-to videos, my playing has increased dramatically and I'm excited to learn guitar for the first time in a long time. Thanks for passing that passion along!
I've had a classical guitar for a while now but have been procrastinating and learning some fun riffs and now I finally put my mind to fingerstyle and this video really helped thanks dude
As a seasoned guitar player for over 40 years working professionally and as a serious hobbyist this is the most helpful finger picking demo on the internet. I've used nothing but a pick in those decades and now finally getting around to finger picking. Thank you.
Excellent video! Clear explanations and good close-ups of the technique( many videos don't do that). I have only had a guitar for a month now, so this might be a bit advanced for me, but it is encouraging enough to keep me motivated. Thanks so much for your instruction.
awesome video! I love that the instruction begins immediately after you press play. No blah, blah, blah, like/subscribe, blah, blah, blah for 3 minutes. Nope, he literally starts teaching in the very 1st second of the video. Thank you!
This guy is the real deal he is an excellent teacher and an amazing player his fingerstyle is so refined he flows great !! My problem is I start of great then I stray A little if that’s the right word so I’m always trying to catch up to my self !! Anyway thanks this dude is amazing teacher u can’t go wrong here !!! Brian Ireland 🇮🇪
That was an excellent exercise on finger picking for a beginner. it enabled me to follow it, plus I liked the fact that you got the camera to zoom in to get a closer look at the individual fingers on each string.
Thanks Tony, great exercises, I’ve been trying to get on top of finger picking for a while now. I’ve got about 8 maybe 10 ten patters reasonably sorted. Tried these exercise, a bit of a challenge to get smooth, accurate and at a reasonable tempo. Great lesson. I’ll .org this one into the daily practise. TimC
I am learning classical guitar and I would recommend you to practice the 120 arpeggios of Giuliani if you want more exercises. I know they are different techniques but they are really fun (at least the first 100). My favorite part of the video was "I don't want you to think you are not good enough. You are good enough right now."
if you guys wanna learn how to finger style without any help or tutorial, just search up and find a song that you’d like to play. from there just do what the tab says, try your best every day and you’ll get better and better. i’m getting better every single day just by doing it myself
This video is so incredibly helpful, I can barely play one song with a pick but it sounds so much better in finger style so I tried watching a video of finger style on that song and was so lost, it didn’t feel the same at all 😂 but I’ve been practicing this for the past 3 or 4 nights, and everything is starting to fall into place now. I can do all the stages at that speed already! Definitely earned a follow for this one. Keep up the good work!
Cali says thanks! Indeed it is a bit intimidating and I saw Tommy E. @the Balboa Theatre in SD and was blown away but this made me think “maybe a little learning can be pleasantly entertaining as well” Just wanted to say thanks 🙏🏻
Hey tony I know you are probably not gonna read this but i have to say i absolutely love what you are putting out there (TAC). I watched the whole movie and I'm really motivated unfortunately I cant join your classes bcz I dont have any money. In my country 1 dollar is like almost 73 rupees that means if i join I should pay like 87,600 rupees which is a lot for someone like me. I bought my guitar by winning quiz contests at my school and nearby places and I've put so much love and effort into buying it but after one year all Im able to play is little theme music of films from channels like tabsheet music... and after watching your movie I feel like I should do something more that is atleast start learning chords:) Maybe after a year or two I'm gonna comeback here and say about my progress❤
Ive always fingerpicked because I hate using a pick. Think my third song was fingerpicking and never used a pick since. I dont use my ring finger too often though. I should probably try using it more because maybe i could achieve my full potential. Just think it might be hard at this point to dedicate my ring finger to the first string. Or just stick to what I'm use to.
Great lesson as always Tony, thanks to you and the team for making this video. Great exercises. Required quite a bit of concentration, I thought, “these are very basic” then you sit down and try to do it. Keeping an even pace, and even volume and trying to get some speed up.... like I said I had to really concentrate. I got it in the end and even worked in the C F G progression. Good exercises thumb and fingers feeling more independent. Definitely worth doing. And adding to the regime. TimC
I really wish I could grow my nails for fingerpicking. I've tried a couple of thumbpicks & didn't like them... guess I'll just stick with my fingertips for now but I really feel like the guy at the beginning of an infomercial saying "there's got to be a better way"
hey great upload and you have a new subscriber, i have always used a pick my self various thickness depending on what i am trying to do, but i think i will give this a try and thank you once again!
I love how this channel is all me. Acoustic, fingerstyle, and a good teacher that when he isn't teaching, he joins Kadavar band group xD Sorry, you look like of them.
Tony: I just want to thank you for all the excellent lessons. I'm a Mark Knopfler acolyte, so I'm interested in both acoustic and electric, but I find everything you say uniformly helpful (especially this lesson). As an aside my brother wants to learn to play so I bought him a guitar for Christmas and gave him two RUclips teachers to watch, of which you were one. I'm not a natural or gifted student, so quality instruction matters to me. Thanks again; I hope you had a Merry Christmas and I hope you have a great new year!
I’m in the same boat as you... if you add disorganised and slow into the mix as well. I agree completely that tony and the AL team are super important to keep me progressing, correcting bad habits, and learning some good ones too.
This was a good place for me to start. I needed to begin with something that I could do successfully. I can finger pick my ukuleles but I’m trying to learn guitar now and there were some other videos that I couldn’t do. I really needed to get going with something that I could learn and just practice for a long time until moving to something a little bit more complicated with some confidence 🤘. Thanks so much. 👍☮️🌞🎸🩷
This is great Tony. I am 75 and picked up guitar 2 years ago. Still learning. I was a music teacher and can play notation but learnign TABS now too. We have some young grandsons ( 8, 10) who express interest i guitar. Do you have lessons for kids. Thanks so much.
If you learn with a pick, it's weird to try finger picking..me I started out with a,pick 30plus years ago..i now finger pick,and find it not right when I use a,pick..so what you can do is figure out what style you want to play..and stick with what you learn..i know some players who can play finger style and pick..i find it frustrating to do both..
Hi Tony, this is the most efficient guitar tutorial i ever seen in youtube, and i have a question, i get used to play my guitar upside down, because i am lefty and my guitar is right handed guitar, in this case what is your suggestion for finger locations, or is it the best to get a lefty guitar for fingerstyle ? thank you
The way I see it as a gamer, is that Bass playing is basically tanks, pretty straight forward just get in there. Use slides, harmonics, hammer ons and hammer offs. Picks and 2 fingers. Guitas are like dps. You got a lot of tricks and different combinations to make you sound good.
Could you possibly do a side video explaining the Mark Knoplfer finger method as well? I've been trying to learn everything I can on it I'd love to see your take on it. Love the videos man
Small win! I’ve been trying for the last year or so to get some kind of finger picking pattern worked into my muscle memory. I almost started to sound like it wasn’t as random as it really was. I followed your instructions to the letter. First the thumb independence then the alternating pinches and then thumb index thumb middle. BOOM! Like a switch flipped on! Thank you for this! -Hesperia Michigan
hey Thanks I'm so thankful right now I got a suggestion I think you should make videos like tutorials of old and new songs strumming or finger style cause you're really precise when it comes to teaching and viewers and me can learn more precisely thanks

Honestly, This is more useful than school. If I showed this to my teachers they would realise that RUclips videos = 1 semester of education
