    10:00 gloves are for focal dystonie which is rare but serious illness among musicians! Check out Scott's Bass lessons, he speaks openly about it and always wears gloves on the left hand...

    Hi guys. You wanted to hear from someone with experience with some of these items. Okay. I’m 73 and took up playing bass 7 years ago. I’m pretty fair at it by now. I never had the remotest thought that I could ever play guitar even a little bit. I stumbled across the Chord Buddy and thought, “Hey, I can do that.” Ten days ago I got the ChordBuddy from Amazon and traded one of my 5 basses in in an Ibanez AS73FM the same day. I can now play beautifully chords, a few simple songs and am having a lot of fun, which is my objective. The point is, this got me off to such a fast start that I am supplementing my learning with other elements like power chords I’m learning on TH-cam. I’ll never be great at either, but now I have the possibility of enjoying the guitar almost as much as I have the bass. If that is the point, then it is a success.

    That gloves is the only reason I can still play guitar. I wish there was more serious reviews of it out there. It helps countless people with various health problems such as focal dystonia, tendentious, arthritis, eczema and early cartilage decay.

    I have the spider capo. It does take time to get it adjusted. And as you found, it really isn’t the same as retuning. But when you’re writing or arranging something, it can sometimes be a fun problem solver. That said, I never used it that much, and I’m not even sure where mine is at the moment. 🙂

    Thank you for this amazing insider information. Now that you guys have let the real secrets of how to play guitar out of the bag my life is changing. Forget practice, scales, spider drills, dextarity drills or any of that garbage. Amazon Prime is streaking my glove and button buddies to me even now. I"ll be jamming with Slash by next weekend! Hell, I'll BE Slash by next weekend.

    the solution to dropping picks is more picks. get them in 24 packs and stuff them everywhere. and have a pick holder for the mic stand. if i go busking or play a gig i literally have 10 or more so i can reach in any pocket of my jeans or shirt and get another one out.

  • @JohnOhkumaThiel

    In defense of the riff band concept, I’m originally a sax player pretty much since birth, born again musician on guitar two years and three months ago. Being already a musician, it was natural for me to practice a few hours a day right from the beginning. My biggest obstacle by far was those guitar playing muscles. The first month I could go only about 10 to 15 minutes a day, second month 30 minutes to an hour; my fingers were tired and achy, and as I would tire I would start stumbling over the frets. Of course technique was an issue too, I had a death grip on the neck, but definitely as I used more techniques like hammer and pull, bending, sliding and so on-especially after switching to heavier strings-finger, hand, and arm strength were key. It’s not just about dexterity.
    But I do think the best way to develop that strength is to play physically challenging music on a regular basis, not gadgets.
    The glove idea I really like, if they were fingerless. That would be great on the back of the neck, particularly in the Summer time.
    You guys really need to learn basic video editing.

  • @usmcyounggun6879
    @usmcyounggun6879 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    When I first started playing I bought a few different things to try to keep from dropping my pick all the time. Like the snake picks that wrap around your finger and have a pick attached to the end, and some of the gorilla snot. Non of it really helped and I just had to play more and get better and now it’s very rarely an issue for me. Although I do like using Ibanez wizard picks with the sand grip on them and I do really like those a lot.

  • @anthonybizzell3857
    @anthonybizzell3857 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    A solution for slipping something sticky under the strings is to pass a piece of plastic (a strip of zipper bag works) under and attach your sticky thing to it, then pull it through. I do this with the tape I use to mask the fretboard and pickups.

    You guys are the absolute best. I live in Upstate NY otherwise coming to your store would be like Christmas 24 x 7 x 365…..new to acoustic guitar but your videos have been extremely helpful.
    I am also happy I haven’t bought too much of this crap, sorry I have to admit I bought some. Like the first item with the stick on fret labels, put them on and peeled them off immediately and before they could take the neck stain off with them. Unreadably small and who wants to stare at them anyways? 😮

  • @KayZee1957
    @KayZee1957 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    NEVER, NEVER, NEVER use fret stickers or tapes on 'cellos and violins. It teaches playing by using your eyes instead of your ears. You know those young guys who have always had cheap electric tuners available and couldn't tune a guitar by ear to save their own child's life? Yeah, like that. Since you have to throw the crutches away eventually, it's more efficient and better for your musicianship to skip the crutches altogether.

    Chris, when trying the capo, that the chord did not sound like DADGAD rather an E sus. He is right that it is an Esus but it is also the same thing as DADGAD with capo on the second fret. DADGAD is a Dsus4 chord. You suspend the third, so you play the 1st, 4th and 5th notes of the scale.

    I could see the chord buddies (even with their color coded buttons) being flawed solutions for people that have dexterity issues from arthritis or some other type of hand impairment. If those products were refined a little bit then I could see them being marketed for a completely different group of people rather than for beginners.

    The problem with having a "capo-style clamp" on the selective capo is that you have to avoid having pressure on all the strings. If you are just going to capo a couple of strings on the low strings, you will wind up with uneven pressure. But that being said, I have seen these before and never had an interest.

    A single drop of super glue spread out on your finger tips will help you get past the sore finger stage. Be very careful that the glue is dry. Don't glue yourself to the guitar. It wears off in a day so you have to renew it often. Seriously don't glue your fingers together or show up at the ER for a guitarectomy.
