    There's a ton of people that give guitar lessons on you tube
    But they only teach bits never the hole song and most of them jump straight in to the lesson
    It's not till you learn it that you relies it's a cheap knock off to what you want to learn
    I love that you played it first
    I loved that you explained it by frets and strings it was like you was just taking tab
    I loved that you tell the strumming pattern
    The best guitar teacher on here
    Thank you for not treating me like a idiot
    I don't know if you will read this but thanks
    P.s could you teach you've got a friend in me

    I haven’t even finished watching this , but I’m already sure this guy is one of the best guitar teachers on You Tube. Most of the others waste lots of time talking or don’t clearly show what they are playing. I love the way he gets right to it and doesn’t forget to connect it all together as a complete piece of music. Thanks Chris!

      @sandercohen5543 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I don't mean to brag or anything like that, I'm a very humble person by nature, but I can finally play this song consistently, without much difficulty. It took me a while, but I finally got to a point where I'm comfortable with the tempo. The key is to start slow and work your way up. Now as for playing with two fingers, what I'm trying to get at is that I am self-taught and have really poor technique, so when I play fast, I tend to go back to my roots of playing melodies with only 2 or 3 fingers and if I force myself to, I can play this solo at original speed. In some ways, it actually makes it easier for me, cause I spend less time worrying about grips and where my fingers should be. I also may or may not have some kind of medical condition related to hand-eye coordination, which also makes it easier for me to just slide down the neck with one finger at the 1:37 part. In fact, if you've learned the way have, you already have the timing down, so its second nature and you mostly just need to work on your right hand technique, which is the main reason it took me so long to get this song down.
      I started with fingerstyle, classical and flamenco guitar, so I never learned to use a pick, but here I had to re-learn to strum with very small movements, in order to keep up with the tempo properly. Still don't use a pick, tho my nails are long enough that I don't have to anymore. I used the song misirlou to make it a bit more fun to practice strumming properly :)

    Brilliant is not a strong enough word to describe Django, how could a man with just 2 fingers create a master piece like this... What an inspiration to us all....

    @michaelskasick1560 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm getting back into playing music, and when I first picked up guitar, I noticed that my own technique was very much inspired by Django - watching you work the fret board, I'm seeing habits I do in my own playing!
    Mel Bay's great, but Django's style just feels more intuitive for me. Thank you for breaking it down!

  • @MrBryanGatwood
    @MrBryanGatwood 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Just a thought, markers might be nice for sections. Not sure how hard it would be put them after the fact. Aaaand this looks like solo #140 so going back would probably suck. But maybe for future stuff. Nice job and nice video man! Always wanted to learn this solo.
