Guitar Lesson 6 - EASY Fingerstyle & Minor Chords - Ain't no sunshine Tutorial

Welcome to Day 6 of this Guitar Starter Course where we'll be checking out how to play fingerstyle guitar! This is where we don't use a pick and is also known as fingerpicking!

The song we're using as an example of fingerstyle is 'Ain't No Sunshine' by Bill Withers!

Remember, if you're totally new to guitar, then all we're looking at is the simple strumming version of this song. The fingerpicking stuff is more advanced. If you struggle with the fingerstyle, move on for now a revisit this section after completing the full 10 days. Don't let it slow your overall progress!

Finding day 6 too difficult?

Check out my NEW 10 day program for Winter 2022/23 here

I've learned a lot since making this original 10 day series and have put everything I've learned into making this new series even better, especially for those who struggle with this one and want more support and help jamming along up to speed.

I truly hope it helps the absolute beginners out there achieve their goals, or helps rekindle a love for guitar for anyone revisiting learning in 2023!

Had always wanted to learn to play the guitar, but life just got in the way. Now I am 81 and so decided to really learn it. Bought a guitar and have begun your lessons. Has been much fun so far, . Now tackling lesson 6. I am taking it slowly, making sure I really got each lesson. Thank you Andy for offering these lessons! 😎

I wouldn't lie. I almost want to cry when going from E Minor to D Minor.

Me, finally starting to feel like I'm getting the hang of this: Why do I hear boss music
Fingerstyle: Hello there

[noway]

[davidstipa]

Andy. Over the years I've tried so many times to learn how to play guitar, I've been retired for a year now and decided to try for one last time... I followed your 10 day beginners course and I have finally started to play music. THANK YOU FOR CLEAR LESSONS. Tony Crouch

[RobotPilots]

After 1 week, I finally finished this day.

Congrats, me!

[natalialee]

whenever he says "now let's try it really slowly" i have to adjust my playback speed to 0.5 because i can't for the life of me keep up hahaha

[Rey-cfxx]

This is the thoughest one, I can't believe I almost cry.

[plusran]

I rocked out with Andy for hours yesterday, and came into today feeling awesome and ready.

Then he started playing and my hands were about as fast as continents. Day 6 came in like a wrecking ball.

I CAN’T PLUCK! It sounds like a dying goose whenever I try to do the A minor

[paulastrieder]

So lovely and so hard at the same time! Anybody else learning this on quarantine? Stay safe ❤️

[jchatfield]

Anyone who is struggling with this lesson, I’d recommend giving the next lesson a go. Next lesson uses the pinky a lot so I find when I need to rest my pinky I can come back and practice this one :)

[lucpezie]

I am honestly so proud of myself for being able to play this entire song now! A week of daily practice later... the E to D change is soooo difficult

[yannak.]

What really helps me is practicing one hand at a time, first the chord changes till they get in time with the beat, then the plucking patterns, then joining the two.

Rest in peace Bill Withers. I wish I could have started these lessons a little earlier during quarantine so I could have honoured an absolute legend <3

[rebeccasargeant]

You are a very good teacher. I started playing at the age of 15, and then other things took over. Now at 63, have been trying to rekindle the fire for 2 years, without much success. Finally feeling the hope!!! Thank you.

[chrisbraybrook]

I know I’m late to the party but got to say that you are by far and away the best teacher I’ve come across. No assumed knowledge/skill for those you’re teaching and, despite how well you can play, you understand that complete beginners like me need the slow, methodical breakdown. I’ve stuck at at for the last 6 days and will finish the course, probably repeat days 5-10 a few more times and then delve into more of your content! Thank you

14:15 Andy my fingers are almost bleeding but I'M WITH YOU!!! you are the best
