2 great tips that helped me for learning from youtube videos: 1. 'K' on the keyboard pauses the video. 'J' and 'L' skip back or forward 10 secs. Left & right arrow do the same but 5 secs 2. when the video is paused, you can move back or forward one frame at a time with the ',' or '.' buttons on the keyboard. Great to slowmo solos.
I just put washers on. You have to unscrew the pegs, put washers on, put straps on, and screw them back in. The holes in the strap are not big enough to fit over the washer.
"Remember kids, there's never a reason not to practice." Absolutely true, I sliced open the side of my pointer finger on my right hand recently, and I kept practicing anyway.
@@Yan-iy6vs Nah, real guitar players play through the pain :p. In all seriousness though, I agree with you Yan. The only time where you should play through the pain is if the cause is not having played in a while so your calluses aren't what they used to be.
Back in the 1970s I sliced the middle finger of my left hand, needed 4 stitches. I did a studio recording for a TV series with a full orchestra. It was so funny. My friend (a Flamenco player) and I were the lead players, and there was I flipping the bird to everyone. Yeah, nothing shouldn't throw you off.
I actually have a life hack if you cut your fingers. Super glue. Sounds crazy, but it works. I cut my left index finger on a metal sheet one time, and after like 3 days of not being able to play at all, I just started gluing it shut, and playing until the glue rubbed off. Bends were still painful and sliding tore through the glue pretty fast, but it's better than either not playing, or trying to play with an open wound where a fingertip should be. Probably dont pour the superglue in the cut, I mean, I did, but I'm reckless, and kinda stupid sometimes.
I am just starting out learning to play guitar aged 53, every single video has something amazing in it to learn, being a fellow Dutchman the accent makes me yearn for home again! (Living in the UK since a child)
Nothing wrong with Wonderwall. Great techniques and many dynamics to be learned from the song. Is it overplayed? Yes. But this is the simplest comment to make...🤦♂️
Amazon has packs of 6 for really cheap, and they're identical to the Dunlop brand of speed capo. I bought a pack a few years ago and I'm still using the first one (I thought they would be crappy and break). All different colours. I was really shocked how sturdy they were, and since we have 5 guitars in the house already (and possibly another one tomorrow - a 7-string finally), it's just easier to have one with every guitar. Plus, 2 of us play, so we have to have at least 2 anyway if we jam. This is the Canadian site, but you should be able to find it on your country's site. www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B013UGGAEU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
GUYS, for #9 (the TH-cam playback speed), to save time, you can skip the clicking altogether by just doing the [ Shift + , ] command to slow down or [ Shift + . ] to speed up. That's holding down the Shift button and then the pressing the comma or full stop button, respectively. You can also see all of these commands by doing [Shift + /]
TempoSlowMo app will play your song from your library at any speed and with markers to make loops. This will not change the key so you can still play Wonderwall.
@@samroyproductions3476 Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware, it's only for the Desktop version of TH-cam. That said, I only use Windows (10) on my laptop and Android (7.0 Nougat) on my phone so my knowledge of it is limited to these devices.
Spinning a guitar is for idiots. That said , leather DIY strap locks are the best. Tested and proven for many years. You use to be able to buy them. But they worked so well everyone quit selling them. I guess I’ll do a video on how to make them.
Hand stretches before always. Stretching back toward forearm. Also playing right after shower strengthens calluses even more. My longtime bandmate and frontman told me about that one.
Never heard that one. It's helped me extend reach for shuffle chords. Have not experienced any negative effects. Also why would runners stretch before a run if it caused problems in performance?
I'm 18 and I've been using the beer rubber seals as strap locks for years all thanks to my guitar teacher. I really do recommend, they really do the job.
Paul ur a God. U just saved a musicians life by giving your hack 6. Its a complete lock down here in India and my guitar needs a new set of strings, I don't have one. U must be familiar with a guitar player's pain when the strings get rusted. THANKS BRO
I can relate to trick 08: I have a box with stuff that fits snugly in my bicycle bag. It gives me peace of mind and greatly helps me to be on time for rehearsels: * Extra capo * Scratch book; pen; marker (mostly used for creating set lists or chord progressions at rehearsels) * 9V battery * Picks * Power supply for keyboard * USB charger * Hardware tool that came with a multi-guitar stand * Multi-tool (rarely if ever used, but gives peace of mind) * Strings for various guitars. Before big events, I check that they are still complete and that I know which sets go to which guitars * Tablet holder (to attach tablet to microphone stand) * Mobile phone holder (mainly for Facebook Live Events at the end of band practice sessions) * Handouts that I use at sing-alongs * Various piece papers with chord diagrams written on them (for occasional teaching) * Strap holder: Got them from a friend, but haven't used them yet * Various beverage tokens that I got from venues where I played, that I haven't used :) When packing for rehearsels, I usually have to add only these things: * Tablet (I don't play from paper - Everything's online: strompf.com) * "Wireless cable" * Guitar cable (as backup or when using multiple instruments).
I found something that works for me: I stuck a "pop-socket" phone holder base on the top side of my guitar. I put the handle on the back of my phone. I now have a tuner, metronome, chord prongs, instructional videos, and anything else on the internet right at my finger tips. Stays in place really well. It is really too big for and electric but the side of an acoustic works great. I was even able to put a 7" kindle on there and it fit decentky
Ahh I've stayed kinda a plain and straightforward guitarist for a long while now, and this definitely lightens up and mixes the guitarist lifestyle up a lot for the better! Definitely will try these hacks soon!
When I saw the “life hacks” and “all guitarists should know”, I thought here we go with some lame ass things that aren’t really useful at all......... but actually this vid was really cool and actually did have some cool tips for amateurs like me :) Nice one Davids.
Haha, this video was way more entertaining and useful than I expected it to be. Other than lead on the nut, the emergency "go bag", and the string boiling...it was all new stuff I haven't seen or tried before. Cheers
the phone on pickups trick blew my mind..trying it tonight..could sample our song into an intro effect ..could be cool.love your videos,one of the best on u tube..thanks for the effort you put in..I appreciate it.
You can buy the beer bottle washers cheaply from a home brew shop, or eBay. I get them in bags of 10 usually. Been using them for decades and never had a guitar fall off the strap yet, at gigs, band practice or at home.
Another GREAT video Paul! That capo hack is genius and I might just have to do the drill hack as well as that would make it A LOT easier to change strings! Thanks for putting together such AWESOME videos as I know it takes a TON of time to put these videos together! Keep rockin' bro! Much respect! :)
Great tips. I wish there was a good reliable hack for quick access to a slide, and quick way to remove the slide during a song and still have it be there to put back on.
Loved the legal gumpth glooped into the strap-lock hack.... which I'm going to try, thinking possibly tap washers as well... A Targus business laptop backpack is my magic bag, pedalboard in the laptop part, LOADS of pockets for fiddly bits like batteries and spare strings, assorted cables with separate velcro straps go in the spot for files - gig file fits in there as well. Extra space left over. A cheap cordless screwdriver would do the low stress job of string winding.... next thing for my magic bag, didn't think of that.
If you use google chrome check this plug in for pitch, speed, and loop tools on youtube "Transpose ▲▼ pitch ▹ speed ▹ loop for videos" not sure if links work but that's the name it has a yellow logo
I love the phone trick! I used to play cheap Japanese plywood guitars - Teiscos and Zentas and the like - and the pickups were so microphonic you could shut into the pickups or put a wineglass on the scratchplate and run your finger round the rim and the noise would come through the amp.Endless creative possibilities!
The separate gig case of bag works well, you have to discipline yourself not to raid it when you quickly need a tool or a lead or some strings! Also, the drill-fitting string winders are available to buy, all moulded into one, so they’re a bit stronger - I know this was a mixture of advice and fun though, which I really liked
Great stuff Paul,.... Absolutely fantastic things i truly didn't know and I'm sure a lot of others didn't either!! Keep up the good work, and thanks again for the tips! :)
I don't have a watch pocket, but I do have a nice little leather pouch that attaches to my keyring, and I always have my keys (and thus picks) with me. I play fingerstyle most of the time so I don't use them for guitar so much, but I also am learning to play the mandolin, and I do pick the guitar on occasion. Now if only the fingerpicks for my banjo would fit in there...
Good video. To clean old strings I use the tiny little alcohol wipes in individual packages used when getting a shot in the arm. Wrap it around the string and scrub, all right on the guitar. But if it's acoustic you'll want to mute the string on either side of the wipe because the sound is horrific if you don't. I'm also careful not to get rubbing alcohol on the fretboard or other exposed wood surfaces.
You can buy graphite lube(or is it oil in english) in any radioshack kind of shop for cheap, one can will literally last for years. I would also recommend applying it on bridge in string grooves.
Love the "Deep River Blues" blurb at the end of "how to renovate your strings if you're too cheap (broke) to buy them"! Ahhh, Doc Watson would have loved you Paul!
For the phone clip since I don't own a capo I clip my snark tuner on and have the head of it facing the back of the phone so the weight supports it, works like a charm!
Very good tips Paul but the last one was awesome. The string tool un/winder. That saves so ooo much time. I also like the two beers instead of one lol ....

Notice he switch to the squire instead of risking the custom shop! I have zero faith in the DIY straplocks now
Even if they are going to fail in 1 out of a million tries I'd still not risk a really expensive guitar... lol
I wouldn't do it to an expensive guitar even with the most beefy/expensive strap locks.
Just don't do it anyway... :-)

You can buy graphite lube(or is it oil in english) in any radioshack kind of shop for cheap, one can will literally last for years. I would also recommend applying it on bridge in string grooves.

Great video but please don't make videos in portrait mode as in the capo hack, always use landscape mode !

Love the "Deep River Blues" blurb at the end of "how to renovate your strings if you're too cheap (broke) to buy them"! Ahhh, Doc Watson would have loved you Paul!
Oh ma gosh :) great stuff, thanks... Love all of these
Hey Paul! Is there a posibility that you would upload your song you created in 1 hour challenge to Spotify?
and yeah, very useful tips, thank you ;D
You killed me with the beer xD really!!!You're such an amazing musician but also you seem to be such a nice dude, really my GOD ;-)!
I never knew you could slow down a video. That’s a game changer, so, thank you...now I have a lot of listening to do.... 🙂
One of my favorite of your videos! Thanks! Love the capo idea.
It's sad that making a simple joke about a beer is so complicated nowadays..
Deciphering a Lil' Wayne solo.. I see what you did there, lmao c):~)
"Here's the ultimate test", then he switches to a squire strat just in case
For the phone clip since I don't own a capo I clip my snark tuner on and have the head of it facing the back of the phone so the weight supports it, works like a charm!
Very good tips Paul but the last one was awesome. The string tool un/winder. That saves so ooo much time. I also like the two beers instead of one lol ....
