“Slow is Smooth. Smooth is fast.” A saying we used in military training...applicable most anywhere; especially here! Totally dig your teaching skills/style. 🤘🏻

I’ve watched this several times over the last 10 months (since April 19, 2017), when I decided to learn guitar. I found your videos, and I heard the message “everyone gets ‘there’ by practicing; everyone starts out a beginner”. I was inspired and encouraged! My plan is practice every day for ten years! :) Today is day 255/3650. I have five daughters, and I borrowed my 14yo’s guitar (secretly at first) to practice. Then I ‘came out’ and soon my husband gave me a beautiful Ibanez for my 46th birthday! My daily practice seems to have an effect on my kids—now they are taking lessons (& practicing) in guitar, piano, voice...and Santa brought them a ukelele, drums, and more. Just want to let you know how grateful I am for the boost to get started and to know you still have my back on those days when it feels like I’m making no progress. (I know, there’s a video for that, too!) 😜

All this people complaining about how much he talks... If you people are looking for a tutorial then i think you are in the wrong place... this are guitar LESSONS... the teacher at school doesn't just teach you how to solve mathematical equations, he explains the science behind them for you to actually understand the logic in them... well, at least that's what they are supposed to do...

Great video Erich, really appreciate it!

Teachers that would use analogies, stories and make me laugh, helped me learn and remember things before taking tests and even years later. Your teaching style reminds me of those good teachers.

As a 56 year old guy who finally decided to get serious about learning the guitar, (better late than never) this video is just what I needed to watch. I've never had anyone actually make my brain get how to transition smoothly until now. Thank you.

Summary- Mentally prepare your finger placement(shape) before you jump between chord or move anything.

Metaphorically- when jumping across rocks in a river, know where your next rock is before you land or you’ll fall in.

[davidhawley]

For transitioning, here are a couple of other things I find helpful:1. Practice hammering the chord onto the fretboard from your hand just hovering above the fretboard. So you are not worried about which chord you are coming from, just where you are going. This helps your hand remember the shape.2. Even when you are practicing slowly, the transitions should be quick. Don't slow down the transition just because you are playing the song slower. Your transitions will sound a lot better when you play at normal speed.3. Don't look at your fingers; move by muscle memory. Your eyes aren't that good or fast a guide to position your wriggly nest of fingers.
All of this is to make sure your fingers aren't hunting around when you go to the new chord.

I was an elite level NCAA athlete and coaches always talked about visualizing your movements to become better on the field and this is the first time anyone has told me to visualize the string that your about to play its made me alot better right on man

[Vyzactyh]

me: thinks about the A7 chord and strums
him: *"I didn't tell you to strum"* 3:47
me: what the??
him: *"I'm inside your head"* 4:15

Bruh, this guy solved my year-long trouble in 13 minutes.... **insta-subscribes**

[rashimandlik]

This is really encouraging for someone like me, I picked up the guitar without any training, just to cope with the pressure of medical school and now I can play full fledged covers thanks to your videos and many like them. Sending tons of love from India....❤️ Thank you so much ..

"Accuracy leads to speed"...thank you sir

[Violent_Mitch]

I laughed my ass off on that rock analogy. Genius.

Thanks to this video I am now able to switch chords a bit more smoothly, I was moving my first finger first then the other two but it really helps to do it the other way. Also, a bit of advice for anyone who was having the same trouble I was having: It really helps to try not to look at your fingers or the frets when switching chord, just go for it and try to play it blindly, because I found that I was able to do it better than when I was looking. I'm still a bit sloppy but my mind is training my fingers to be where they should be and I thought I would never get this., so give it a go and see what happens!

[zachdewitt]

I’ve been playing for a few years now and I’ve really noticed a huge struggle is improvising chords. I think something THIS simple helps with so much more than just open chord strumming. Fretboard understanding, writing, spontaneity and overall technique. It’s so unbelievably simple that you’d never even think about it. Subbed 👍

He has a great point it's like driving you have to anticipate your move before you reach your point meaning you have to look ahead so think ahead before you move your hands

[Maha-iuny]

definitely one of the best guitar teachers out there. Thank you so much, sir!
