I’m a nominal strummer and I want to learn to pick. This was my first lesson on picking and it is easier than I expected. Thank you for making this available.

Being a retired 64 yr old, I am forced to live on a fixed income. I recently moved from Southern Califonia to a small town in Tn to reduce living expences. I love the move and intend to stay here, even if finances were to change.
I just want to tell you that even though I havent subscribed untill now, I watch your channel frequently and find a lot of help here for my renewed guitar playing. I am unable to spend money on anything except for necessities so I really appreciate all that you provide on your channel.
I hope things go well for you and (selfishly), look forward to cotinued content that you provide.
Thank you for all that you do for us, your viewers.

Erich, Thank You for another great lesson. You've simplified nearly every concept of guitar playing that I've ever wanted to accomplish. From struggling through the "F'n" F chord" to learning musical scales, you simplify it all;  and suddenly, it all starts to make sense! I REALLY benefited from your lesson on the Rule of Thirds in this same way. Wow.  Something that I struggled with  for weeks with a lesson book I was working from, became so crystal clear with just one of your sit down lessons. I can't imagine finding a better teacher either online or in person. You're teaching is in a style that really speaks to me and unravels the mystery of guitar. By the way, I HAVE finally mastered the F chord! Can you imagine how exciting that was for me!? I had to show anyone who stopped by, that I can cleanly play the F chord!  Next stop: fingerpicking. Thank you, thank you!

I've been a casual guitar player for years, and recently have decided to step up and be more serious about my fingerpicking. This was honestly an excellent video for me to get a clear start on my road ahead. Other videos with tips and techniques were nothing compared to this very basic, simple, yet powerful practice lesson. Thank you!

[maylaw]

You're a great teacher, really clear. You break it down to the most simple of instructions which is exactly what's needed. I played the guitar 20 years ago and in 2 minutes you showed me some bad habits that I had. If only there had been youtube 20 years ago! Thanks and keep teaching!

Your e-book is fantastic. Thorough and accessible! I already play guitar (and teach music) so I appreciate all the work you put into writing it. I was looking for a refresher on finger picking. So glad I found your resource! Thank you!

[yourguitarsage]

Thanks for watching this lesson my friends! Let me hear your feedback and any more topics you would like for me to shoot a video on. Keep up the practice. e :)

I really dont understand the human race... why are some people so freakin negative? I call it rude! Did y'all not have parents that taught kindness and love, or at least basic manners? Here is a guy offering free demonstrations on video, not to mention his 30 lessons and his books for free. THAT MEANS IT COST US NOTHING. Even if everything he showed was completely incorrect...who cares. We have lost nothing. The lessons are pretty great and I dont see anything at all to critique in a negative way. I tried to learn the guitar about five different times in the past 30 years. I have went to one on one lessons, group lessons and a dozen on line teachers and by far and Erich is by far the BEST I have seen and/or used. From the very beginning the things he teaches before you even pick up the guitar really lit a fire in me and for the first time made me WANT TO Learn. In only my fourth day, 60 minutes a day I can play 4 chords...which is further than I ever progressed in that short a time. I cant wait to see where I am 0ne year from now, only investing 60 minutes a day. Thats all the time I can guarantee each day. So to all you Negative Neds and Debbie Downers and JPAH's. Get a hobby, or a job or a life. (jpah- just plain ass hats) Erich I thank you i can tell you definately love the guitar and would really like it if everyone on the planet could play the guitar. I THANK YOU

You're a good teacher, I enjoyed doing that in the video, I'm just a beginner, I bought my guitar 5 days ago, and I don't know anything about it at all for now, but I'm willing to learn everything about guitar. I have an Acoustic Guitar. I really need someone to teach me, I would like to be your student

[austinknowlton]

Thank you for the lessons. I started playing guitar when I was 14, didn't take it too seriously. Since I couldn't afford lessons back then and there was no YouTube in the 80s I was pretty limited on what I could learn. I've played off and on since, but I've also put it down for years at a time. Just within the last year or so I've decided to dedicate myself to becoming a better player and learning more about guitar and music theory in general. I must say YouTube is a great tool for that. Thanks again, you've helped a 46 year old man begin to learn to fingerpick!

[sandramac]

Many years ago, I made up and created my own fingerpicking, so I never learned the "right" way, and it limited my playing enjoyment. In five minutes, you have changed my playing, and taught me a new way to create muscle memory! Thank you! (And, I agree with your spay/neuter philosophy, as well!) You have provided some great lessons.

[sosouth]

I've always had such a hard time getting the hang of finger picking, and now after watching this one video i immediately got the hang of it. This guy is like somekind of guru. Thanks man

[thepunchingbag]

as someone who is learning from a music book, this really helps thx you so much

[petermccarthy]

Just starting to learn finger picking. I've been using a pick for yeatd. I found your video to be simple and informitive. Looking forward to learning and changing my playing style. Thank you for your help.

[GWPIRRO]

As an older player, whose been playing a long time, I found this extremely helpful.

[stevenpaulmargolin]

One of the best presentations on starting fingerpicking that I have seen. Straightforward, understandable and very useful. Thank you for breaking it down into a technique that can you can begin to practice immediately, well done.
