Several years ago I wrote a simple eBook for my little sister to get her started on her guitar journey. When I started teaching beginner guitar with Guitars For Vets I dusted it off to use as homework, reinforcing what we go over in class. To make it more useful I created videos to embed with chapters of the eBook and the easiest way to do that was via You Tube.
So these videos were originally meant solely for my students, but were tagged as “public” (largely because I didn’t know what I was doing) and as a result they’ve been discovered by You Tubers outside of the eBook and apparently some have found them useful. (BTW the eBook the videos refer to is completely free.)
I'm not a “content creator” and am using You Tube solely as a delivery mechanism. Nor am I making a dime from these and have no interest in doing so. My only desire in making these videos public is to help the beginning guitar player get started on their musical journey, much as I did nearly 50 years ago.

Sound of Silence (Uncapo'd in G)
(Last version - promise - of Sound of Silence. This version is uncapo'd in the key of G, and while Paul does not play it this way, it's probably the easiest of the three videos I've made as we can use chords Em, D, G, and C.)
I'm a volunteer cyber-instructor with Guitars For Vets (G4V). When our veteran students sign up for lessons they're asked to provide two songs they'd like to learn and occasionally I'll make a private video to help them get there. This is one of those videos. I'm making it available for public consumption in case there are others who might find it useful.
If you're a U.S. veteran, or a non-veteran just looking for ways to support our veterans, and would like to know more about G4V, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, please go here. guitars4vets.org/

Adjusting the Playback Speed of a You Tube Video
มุมมอง 4021 วันที่ผ่านมา
A few of the worksheets in AGP 101 use a metronome to practice chord changes. This is fine if just playing alone but when playing along with the companion video it makes more sense to adjust the playback speed rather than bpm. This video is a quick & dirty showing you how to adjust the playback speed using the customizable playback slider. Acoustic Guitar Playing 101 (AGP 101) is an introductor...

I appreciate the comment and offer to help. I realize the videos on my channel leave a lot to be desired but they were created primarily for those using my eBook. I mean, it's great if other users find them and get something out of them, but I'm not trying to drive traffic and really don't care about rankings. Not in this to make money - just help others and everything I create is free. Thanks again.
