@@dimitrywasnttaken3165 yes you could. A power chord is half of a barre chord. The difference is that with a barre chord you have to worry about if you need a major or minor chord. You don’t have to worry about that with power chords

@ReggieRebell thanks for watching and glad to help! You’re always welcome to hit me with questions and I’ll try to get back as soon as possible

@@altruiststudios can you do a nirvana smells like teen spirit tutorial? I've been trying to learn, but they keep changing their minds on what the intro is.

Glad it helped! Couldn't have made this one without you asking about it in the last video so thank you!!

@@DudeBuyATICA hey! Cool seeing you here again! Just curious, how long have you been playing? Obviously you aren’t just starting out haha

I would say I’ve been owning a guitar for around a year but only like 3 months of taking it more seriously

@@altruiststudiosbut in all honesty my old music teacher was really good at her job so she taught me the basics then I’ve learned all my other skills on my own

@@indiamalwa that one seems to be the most popular choice. Do you use the free version?

@@altruiststudios yeah free version

@@indiamalwa gotcha. I wasn’t a fan of all the popups that try to get you to subscribe every time you open the app

@@justinkase9483 playing with other guitarists is probably the fastest way to improve. Bonus points if they’re better at guitar than you

@EvanCarmichael Hey Macy! Thank you so much for the positive feedback!

@@NotObiWanKenobi Wow this is such a good question that I’m going to make a whole video about it! To answer you now though, get as close to the fret as you can without your fingers being ON the fret. When you press on the strings, think of it more as pinching the guitar neck between your fingers and thumb rather than just pressing with your fingers

@@NotObiWanKenobi also, it’s like working out in the gym, it’s going to take a couple weeks for your muscles to get strong enough to press the strings all the way down every time. Just keep at it and you’ll get it soon!

@@altruiststudios woah, thank you so much! Having a whole video would be great too!

@@NotObiWanKenobi new video on how to hold the strings just dropped!

@@altruiststudios thank you! Ill watch ittt

😯 That’s pretty sweet! That’s a pretty good price for a guitar from the 70s. How does it sound and play? I have a family member with the last name Morris that’s also a guitar player so that might be a cool gift idea

Hii

Haha you win first comment award! 🥇 What’s bgm? I would love to do more animations, I just haven’t figured out a way to edit them in fast enough for it to be worth it

@@mars-jr5uu what’s upp??

@@altruiststudios how are you?

@@mars-jr5uu Im sleeeepyy 😴 I need Starbucks ☕️😀

This is just me being picky but I don’t use guitar tuna bc it asks me to sign up for their premium subscription every time I open the app

@@altruiststudios Yea I get that its really annoying. But I love the ui so I’m okay with it

@@altruiststudios also a question, I’ve heard that you should tune upwards and try to avoid tuning over for the strings to not go untuned. Correct me if I’m wrong

@DudeBuyATICA correct, you want to tune upwards. The world won’t explode if you tune downward, however, doing so can leave a little slack in the string which will come out when you start playing, hence causing the string to go out of tune

@@DudeBuyATICA if you happen to tune downwards, just give the string a couple tugs before you play to get the slack out and it should be good

Thank you so much! It means a lot to know that these videos are helping people

@@altruiststudios it truly is my pleasure. It is nice to learn from someone who is not intimidating has a genuine and appreciation for teaching others that comes across when I listen to your instruction.

So glad to help and to hear that you're learning how to play! Any questions are always welcome and I'll do my best to answer as quickly as possible

@@altruiststudios Thank you Jered. I appreciate you. Any recommendations as to where to get a guitar properly tuned?

​@@appleboy007 If you're in a big city you could go to a Guitar Center or Sam Ash. If neither of those are close to you then I would do a google search for "music store near me" or "guitar store near me". The locally owned stores are usually more friendly and helpful without making you feel like you have to buy anything

@@altruiststudios Thanks for the suggestions Jered. There is a Guitar Center not to far from me. Does it matter which I go to? Your TH-cam page along with your kind and helpful feedback have made this new adventure of mine exciting. You have my gratitude Jered.

@@appleboy007 No it doesn't matter which one you choose. They are all mostly the same. Always happy to help!

Of course! 😀

@DrakeOfficial 🤣

It’s the guitar amp sim on the Midas MR18 mixer

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for supporting!

Thanks Mario! I’m a teacher and still feel like a beginner 😅! But if you’re the best in the room, you’re in the wrong room

Let’s face it. This isn’t really my channel. It’s Kirby’s
