Ive been playing quite awhile now, but I still enjoy watching even your beginner lessons because youre such a great teacher and even a more intermediate/advanced person, can always learn something new by going back to the basics

[grayaj]

OK Wow. That worked. Like, the first time. I had to completely re-think how to put my fingers on the fretboard, and it's going to involve re-learning some things. But it worked.

[ralphandnick]

Not a beginner wished I'd tune u in earlier. Would've save time. Excellent teacher.

[rondeakin]

I like this new format, didn't watch before, too long .

[ramonbenjamin]

Finally able to play it now! Thanks so much for this!

[gueneverepaysan]

I always had troubles playing the C chord because I have small hands. Thank goodness for this video.

[MsVersus]

Oh yes the finger curling works! That’s what I was missing. Well now on to practicing 😅

[jimgay]

I like these shorter lessons. I have time to watch these, but not the 2 hour ones.

[kubbykool]

In addition to curling the last knuckle, he said, "slow and steady wins the race." You'd be amazed at how much progress you make by going slow. That also applies to chord changes, scales, and ALL skills that you learn on guitar. SLOW DOWN! 🐢

[erniedorling]

This simple technique of curling the fingers made a huge difference. Thank you.

[watchesfromedges]

I thought perhaps it was only me had trouble with the C chord!

[epipick]

I don't have a problem with it but often use the Bb shape at the third fret or the F shape at the eight fret.

[tobylee]

I have your full Udemy Package. Do fingers slim down? fat fingers? I know it is just something to overcome and sometimes fingers are touching adjacent strings or even the palm mutes the e string when trying to do a hammer on an open chord D chord E string. I am trying to analyze this and work it out.

[MARLONdaman]

One get into the classical guitar position by putting your guitar on the left knee. This position evens out the shoulders and relives tension in the shoulders, arms, wrist, and hands.

[MARLONdaman]

Yes that last knuckle! Laura’s Bateman has a great exercise for build finger dexterity for chords and so does Dr. LEVI HARRISON- the E-gamers and musician finger dexterity doctor.👈🏿👀👍🏾

[iankenyon]

I have more trouble with A. I struggle to get 3 fingers in the same fret. Any tips for that?

[ScottJamesHicks]

What’s up with the countdown? I almost just skipped this

[shegocrazy]

Knuckle curl by itself wont work for me as fingers are too short. I really have to just my wrist around to the front.

[Red]

Hello I'm 65 years old and retire always wanted to learn the guitar. Im still having trouble playing the C chord

[MARLONdaman]

GREAT LESSON: Now putting that marker on your fingertips is outstanding because you can use that technique tip as a reference point to practice especially with neuroscience music practice where you practice chords mentally and physically (proximity points)👈🏿👀🔥

WOW! YOU HAVE TO GO IN AND REALLY LISTEN BECAUSE HE REALLY BREAKS IT DOWN!👈🏿👀🔥
