Just a quick question:does JamPlay have bass lessons?I’ve been playing guitar for about 2 years and I got stuck,and I want to try to learn to play bass the proper way this time.Thanks.
my pinky is double jointed, so every time i try and move it, it uncomfortably snaps… i can’t fluently move my pinky back and forth… will this effect me doing this?
That is the Adam D signature guitar right? Awesome
@Lekiwi33 hmm i suppose, because the root notes are the same no matter what tuning or positioning on the fret board, but if you seriously are going to learn from this book of yours then it’d be easiest for you to keep it in standard, learn the theories, techniques, scales etc and when you feel comfortable with what you’ve learnt then transpose it into your chosen dropped tuning. obviously you can still learn the theory in the dropped tuning, its just transposing which will take a little longer.
@jonnyb2020 yea the thing is i have a book which teaches theory in standard tuning and if i was in a lower tuning that I wouldnt be able to play the chords without barring them and some of those chords would be reaaally uncomfortable…what a should i do? just learn it like that? with barring and moving the scales up?
@Lekiwi33 yes, just move the notes down the fret board and work out the notes from there and you can apply the same theory
thank you david. you’re a great teacher. i have a very short pinky.
@Lekiwi33 no , in fact your guitar will not work at all, ever, if you drop tune it ….. sike of corse it’ll work dummy! you just gotta do the “math”.
yo i have a question…ive been learning music theory for a little while now and in standard tuning….ive bought a great book for theory but it teaches in standard tuning…is it possible to change to a lower tuning and still learn the theory? any tips? thanks in advance
@syd407 hey syd , you are doing a very good job , one of the best turorials I ‘ve seen here on youtube …. thx for ever
ummm. . .this is a very good tutorial. . .:). . but when I play the Bmaj, F, and Gm, I can’t do it. . .do you mind changing those chords to easier ones (the ones that we dont have to bar all of the strings). . .cause i’m just a beginner. . .it will be really helpful. . .thank you. . .^_^
thank you SO much for this tutorial! I was totally lost trying to play this song, but then I watched it… and everything was completely clear! You’re great! =)
how do you do the hit thingy???
very nice tutorial.really helpful thanks! its just that i think your B MAJ actually is a B minor…that’ll sound a lot better..cheers
I don’t get the strumming -.- I keep on strumming downwards after the tap. UGHHH. Nice tutorial though
very helpful.
thanks this is the best “i do” tutorial on youtube
but umm, one question, do you have to tune your guitar after putting a capo on?
Thanx, I love your vids and stuff!!!
can u do one of be ok? it would help alot
I’ve been learning how to play guitar and this is one of the songs I want to do when I get better at it <3
this tutorial is sooo greatt! thanx sooo much, it helped alott!!!
thumbs up!!
1 person is single.
I love the way u describe everything and how to play it but I’m still kind of a beginner and dnt know how to exactly “hit” it on the guitar. Could u describe it a little more? How do u get that sound out of it?
you make it realy GOOOODD …syd , respect
i love this
the capo is on the seventh fret
Where is the Capo?
@DarkGhels That’s right. You do so with your palm actually, the side part that leads up to your pinky. You simply go for a normal strum but lay your strumming hand on the string as you do so, it will feel simultaneous, but really your palm hits a split second before your pick to mute the strings and get that nice slap sound
Great tutorial! I like the way you teach and play
hey darkghels. r you a begginer?
so easy just mute da string putting your hand after playing the chord
u are AWESOME!!!..^_^
wow *_* i’ve got a question … by all chords is the strumming the same or??
)))))
You kinda made it a bit confusing at the end but other than that good tutorial.
