Thank you!!

@@flylippfantom8425 My pleasure! Thanks you!

Thanks for your comment!! That’s so great though that you’re on the right track now! There’s nothing you can’t play with this technique! Keep up the great work! That’s not easy un-learning and learning a new way, I commend you for your hard work!!

@@cognachobo2320 Thank you and welcome!!

@@teddyspaw haha good eye!! Ya it’s great for changing chords in the key of “A”. I teach my beginner students to do that. Then the first finger basically becomes an anchor finger or guide finger. You don’t have to lift it when changing to D. And you just slide it back a fret when changing to E. I talk about it a bit in my other videos!

Sure, ya we don’t want pretty, ha. Mine is a 7 in 1. This one looks similar. Hope that helps! www.amazon.com/Smoother-Upgraded-Polisher-Fingernail-Shinning/dp/B0CQK7HLL5/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=3PDL4RBWBTQB6&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.cXzIKZr-sIAPcEhfFdwkJVJVrpGnCJfE4JQoZvpFXSaTjBBkPgNBMqIMjAs0iIZ5CHag5eDywej8snmr5eMmRIhYtYYgmpsqmpItYZhKWSUMMNxm8vvGFI9krpnO3ROHmfAjs1ngi9gAiHgIEsI-NELCNenEJzPvIG4YVEQNNvju2auRwCgijQtrwHvINXbkKKjIG8LaX7xhTCzxaHdF5g.GD70h9Rudql4CtdGrrX5OgjvNuHSlQi5aKLsrHY_Wiw&dib_tag=se&keywords=revlon+nail+buffer+7+in+1&qid=1731704725&sprefix=revlon+nail+buffer+7+in+1%2Caps%2C104&sr=8-3

@@douglasholdenjr.45 Thanks Douglas! Welcome, it’s great to have you!

Thank you for watching!!

Hey Ronnie, Thanks by the way! They don't have to be long at all. Just grow them a bit longer or long enough so that the string is able to launch off them if that makes sense. The idea is that the string hits the flesh of your finger first then glides off the nail. It gives a really nice crisp sound! Just go a little longer that normal and see how that works. I should do a video on it, ha. I break mine sometimes too! Best of luck!

Hey! It’s a Stonebridge Guitar. They recently changed the name of the company to Furch! The X ring is the university I went to for music and education. It’s called St. Francis Xavier University!

@@TwentyMinuteGuitarPlayer Hey, thanks. Just found your channel today...enjoyed it. I've since watched a couple others and subscribed.

Thanks for watching Heidi!

@@maxherron1376 My pleasure!

@@TheEtzz Thanks for commenting, I just wanted to do an easy song so people could focus more on getting the fingerpicking patterns! Ya that Police arrangement is cool hey?!!!

No problem! My pleasure!

@@nagarajbn4724 Thank you!! That’s all there is to it!!

Sure you can, with lots and lots and lots of practice!

So, you're saying you think lots and lots of practice is easy?

I think he means the concept is easy. As with any skill, dedication is needed to master.

@@teddyspawthanks!

Thanks!! Happy to have you!

@@jpeood32 Oh thanks, glad to hear!

Awesome! Best of luck!!

@@nixternal oh cool! Ya Justin is great! I think it’s Metallica, Nothing Else Matters too! You can do it! 2025 is your year!!!

Thanks Richard! Stay tuned!!

Back again. I think I need to write down your tips somewhere. Great stuff. As a retired beginner of 1 year, I have practiced/played 2-3 hours a day. Just plain fun. I regret not using a metronome religiously. But I'll address that in my 2nd year. I'd like to add 2 things I learned this year about beginner guitar. 1. Painful fingers? Really, not a problem. I purchased 91% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol?) And cotton balls at my local Walgreens. I dabbed cotton ball with alcohol and then dabbed my fingertips. I did this before I practiced and after I practiced guitar. It builds callouses on fingertips. For less than 10 dollars my fingers were fine, little guitar pain. 2. Purchase a leather patch about as big as 2 or 3 hands spread. 12 inches by 12 inches. I am right handed so I place it on my right knee while playing guitar. It prevents the guitar from slipping, so I keep the guitar at a right angle to the ground. Beginners seem to let their guitar slip to a 45-degree angle so they can see their strings. Advanced players seem to hold their guitar at a right angle. The leather provides a non-slip surface on your knee. Since you are the pro, does my advice sound useful? Hope so. Excellent video, thanks.

@ Hey Richard! Thanks for the added tips! I’ve never heard of that or tried that with the rubbing alcohol! Sounds interesting and I’m glad you found something that works for you! Interesting tip with the leather patch too! You’re right, some beginners tend to hold the guitar at a 45 degree angle! I’m glad to hear that you’re enjoying the guitar so much! I can’t think of a better way to spend a retirement! Thanks for your comments!!

@@TwentyMinuteGuitarPlayer Best wishes from Chicago, IL USA.

@@SeekerofknowlegeandTruth-ci3hs Thanks so much!!!

Ohh, good ear!!

@ 😇

Oh ya! No problem! Glad you found it helpful!

@@j.kittredge solid top just sounds better and is more dynamic!

@@j.kittredge 12’s for acoustic is pretty normal!

Ya

@@jpfirstllc ok. How many frets do you slide it up?!

2 frets just playing BM with no barring. Instead of 1 and 2 like AM 3 and 4. Kinda like you do with c shape and d shape and e shape. Just moving

@@jpfirstllc oh right ok I know what ya mean!

That’s a good question actually!! Blues would come before jazz!

@@ron88303 oh right!! Yes very true!!

@@lifesupportmusic haha, we’re going back to the future!!

Interesting, I haven’t heard that!

@@davidb4509 Oh awesome! 18 years!, wow you’re doing great! Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for your message!

Oh cool! I have to check that one out too!!

Ha thanks! It plays like an absolute dream too!!

Thanks Rose!!! Hope you had a good weekend!

Haha ok! I’m definitely doing a video on it soon!! Stay tuned!!

Ohh, I have to check that one out!!

Haha. I can’t tell if you’re being serious or not!

@@TwentyMinuteGuitarPlayer Totally serious. I never understood the concept until I saw this video.

@@deltafour1212 Oh awesome! Glad I could shed some light on it for ya! There's probably lots of ways to write but this gives ya a place to start from!

Oh no! You should get one! Here’s a video on best one to get! th-cam.com/video/C9Lm2dkz_P8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=GZwlA8NXbG7LYicp

@@DaveSenior-i8w Wow, thanks for the kind words!!

Thank you!!

Sure! It just gives you independence over each finger so then you can basically play anything! Like a classical player! There are exercises you can do to train your fingers!

Ha, thanks!

Thanks! So true!!
