You are truly a hero. I can't describe how much this course helped me. Thanks for taking the time to help us begginers into learning this cool instrument!!!
Had always wanted to learn to play the guitar, but life just got in the way. Now I am 81 and so decided to really learn it. Bought a guitar and have begun your lessons. Has been much fun so far,. Now tackling lesson 6. I am taking it slowly, making sure I really got each lesson. Thank you Andy for offering these lessons! 😎
Andy. Over the years I've tried so many times to learn how to play guitar, I've been retired for a year now and decided to try for one last time... I followed your 10 day beginners course and I have finally started to play music. THANK YOU FOR CLEAR LESSONS. Tony Crouch
Thank you sooooo much! I was struggling and looked at the comments to see if anyone else was having the same problem and your comment saved me. Thank you so much! :)
the lesson difficulty jumped from 1 to 100 real quick :D practice for 10 more mins my ass, Im gonna spend the whole quarantine on this part :D thx Andy, love u
Veronica Choi hey, Id say about 2 weeks to perfect it, but i spend bout hour every day with guitar practicing this n different stuff, I always seem to fail hard one day n next its easier, little by little :)
I rocked out with Andy for hours yesterday, and came into today feeling awesome and ready. Then he started playing and my hands were about as fast as continents. Day 6 came in like a wrecking ball.
Anyone who is struggling with this lesson, I’d recommend giving the next lesson a go. Next lesson uses the pinky a lot so I find when I need to rest my pinky I can come back and practice this one :)
You are a very good teacher. I started playing at the age of 15, and then other things took over. Now at 63, have been trying to rekindle the fire for 2 years, without much success. Finally feeling the hope!!! Thank you.
I see a certain pattern in the views to your videos, so the first one got roughly a million views, the second one got around 350k and the third one got 220+K. After that it's 100.000 and less. So either people got a lot better inbetween your videos that they didn't need your lessons anymore, or... more likely (and this is very sad) they gave up. Anyways, love your vids man, keep it up! =)
or they were like " MAN this thing is awesome this guy tottaly knows how to teach im gonna need to come back to this later" like me , and i did get back so yaay . :P
What really helps me is practicing one hand at a time, first the chord changes till they get in time with the beat, then the plucking patterns, then joining the two.
I know I’m late to the party but got to say that you are by far and away the best teacher I’ve come across. No assumed knowledge/skill for those you’re teaching and, despite how well you can play, you understand that complete beginners like me need the slow, methodical breakdown. I’ve stuck at at for the last 6 days and will finish the course, probably repeat days 5-10 a few more times and then delve into more of your content! Thank you
Oh Andy! What a teacher. In over 40 years of trying to play classical and getting nowhere and very frustrated, I've found your site. From day one I started enjoying playing again. Now looking for any excuse to pick up the guitars. I'll never be a rock god but who cares. My dogs love it (I think! :-) )
I have to agree this has to be the best guitar lesson out there. Im just starting out after trying for years. I was taught a few chords years ago by a friend but we have both moved on and this has relit my guitar fire. Just Brilliant and teaches some great tunes too. If I can do it at 54 then anyone can, Im at lesson 7 and loving it. Forgot I need to get used to the tips of my fingers toughening up again though. Cheers Andy.
After 10 minutes of hardcore practising i finally got it! Thank you Andy! As a 13 year old on mid term break this is very helpful and helps me pass time! Your still helping people after 7 years:)
@@faithxanneproudofliam If your string isn't make any sound when you pluck, either a piece of your hand is inadvertently pressing on the string (happens to me a lot with the high E pressing against my palm) or you're not pushing down hard enough with your finger tips.
Or you want to pluck way to hard, so one of the strings do the main sound. Try to pluck gently in the exact same time, and it will give you a clear sound.
Even though this was released 3 years ago, I still feel like you are the best i've ever seen. Im a complete begginer but now I really have gotten better with you. THANKS!!
Really enjoyed learning this one. It took like 15 minutes to get into the groove of it and that D minor is painful to get used to after practicing a couple of hours in already. Hopefully it sounds better when my fingers get some rest. Thanks Andy
@@deskrabbit2190 most lessons he gives take a while. This one would probably take a few days or maybe more after lesson 5, not sure because along with this I've been learning finger style since I started so the plucking part came easy
Love folk music wanted to learn forevrr. Ive tried 3 times. Including lessons as a kid. Never caught on. Made more progress here then ever. So thank you 🎉
I found it easier to move fingers 2&3 from the Am chord up one string for Em, then swing the the third finger over to 3rd fret low E for the G chord. Also if you use fingers 2&3 for Em you can position your index finger on the high E fret one which helps with a quicker chord change to Dm. Hope this makes sense folks, it definitely helped me play this song much faster. By the way Andy, many thanks, keep up the great tutorials.
This is a great lesson for us beginners. You know you need to learn some finger pickin. Tough yes but it's a great song and Andy always does a great job on showing us how. I love this Crowley guy!
Thanks a lot... I see some progress in myself compared with my first day of practice and i hope, someday i will play guitar well. Much love and appreciation from nagaland.
The action height and the truss rod probably needs adjustment. There are several videos that help with that topic. I had obvious issues around the fifth fret and realized my neck was dead flat.
Thanks for all of these! I have noodled around on guitar and even written a couple songs, but never really had the focus or time or money or courage etc. etc. to properly learn. Or, I'd start with a song I loved that was actually too hard and get discouraged. I'm having a lot of fun and already so happy i can play Wild Thing, Oh La La and this song!? (I mean... I know HOW to play them, and play them slowly...:) ) I honestly didn't think I could get this finger picking thing and I have... now it's just a matter of practicing which is enjoyable because you keep it simple yet informative and you have great songs and enthusiasm. Your English accent helps too, I think ;)
Andy, these past 5 lessons have been wonderful. It gives a beginner a feeling of success and that I am prigressing and playing music. Thank you for creating this group of 10 lessons.
Yes I am doing this in lock down as well I haven’t played for years so I thought I would go right back to basics really enjoyable I’d forgot how sore the finger ends get though thanks Andy 👍
Thank you for putting these wonderful lessons out there for us all to enjoy and learn. I am grateful to you, Andy. I want to learn to play the guitar for so long, and with your help I’m finally doing it.
This is the easiest lesson of all. I had to admit I learnt how to play guitar before for 3 years, but in the "normal" way. Reading tabs, fingerstyle, loads of things using this or similar technique. Amazing song tho. These are my favourites.
I have just bought a guitar , first one since 1983 ! And was quite good , but Have just been furloughed so loads of time yee hah !! And to be honest I've found it quite easy to get back into , plus it's quite addictive , can't put my guitar down ! Just a quick point always buy the best guitar you can afford, mines a fender so really good . Keep practicing and stay safe !!
This lesson was discouraging for beginner’s like myself. This was way too advanced! This should have been video ten. I honestly want to smash my guitar. 😆
Ive only started trying to play by guitar. I'm learning more in the first five lesson with you than any other teacher. Its close to one one on.looking forward more lesson thanks
I am VERY late to this but it’s helped me so much😂 this video may have killed a part of me but I can sort of do it now lol may have had to adjust the playback speed a couple of times but I did it!
A few weeks ago I woke up and decided that I wanted to play the guitar. My whole family is musically talented apart from me and I have always been jealous. I stumbled across your videos accidentally and it has helped me so much! Obviously I still have a long way to go but considering I hadn’t even held a guitar until a month ago I’m doing really well! Thanks so much, Andy! You have been brilliant and I will continue to watch all your videos to help me learn!
This is the first lesson I feel Andy has poorly explained. What strings exactly am I plucking? He just sort of rushes over it. I get the thumb string and then he just says pluck everything else. But take the G chord for instance. What exactly am I plucking and not plucking? He plainly says you’re not playing the “last string “ yet the chord picture he shows makes it appear you’re not playing the last or three second to last string.
I agree, the lessons are generally super clear but I did not understand this one. Sounded as if we were supposed to pluck only the middle three strings the whole time plus the root string, but if thats the case then we would often be holding the fourth and fifth strings but they wouldnt be played at all
I’ll try and explain it a little more clearly! So for each cord you play you pluck the “root note” first which is the lowest note in the chord. For A minor it is the second thickest string and then immediately after you pluck the three strings below it all at the same time. For Em and Gm you pluck the thickest string first and then this same three strings from before immediately after. So those three fingers never have to move for those three chords. The Dm is trickier because the root note is the third thickest (or fourth thinnest) string and then after that you would pluck the three thinnest strings underneath :) sorry if this was still confusing
Oh yeah!! I absolutely LOVE that song, got me so hooked up until the end, and the you mentioned the Foo Fighters ?? Yesss I’m so happy I found your lessons on TH-cam. Dude I’m living my best life learning with your videos, thank you so much for all the work you do and your help on the way of mastering playing the guitar! ✌️
Lesson 6 is quite difficult because it's my first time playing fingerstyle. When plucking, it doesn't make the correct sound. I thought to give up. But then, I realised I have to cut my nails 😂 And then, it came to my mind that if others can, why I cannot? So, I've decided to work hard, practice everyday, then soon I'll become a professional 😊😊

Amazing, keep it up

I wouldn't lie. I almost want to cry when going from E Minor to D Minor.
Play E minor with finger 2 and 3, and get finger 1 ready to change for D minor, then just move 2 and 3 down.
@@NeoZeta thats a great advice thanks
are you still crying ?
Farhana Javed same here hahhah
Daniel Bologna yup, easy!
this lesson was like level 4 to level 10 directly for us beginner
For plucking try Come As You Are or Smoke on the Water first.
He has to direct us to his website.
It's deliberate.
Ummmmmm O.K Sherloki TDK
You didn’t practise enough in between lessons
You can do it, everyone! Just keep at it, practice a lot after every lesson!
Andy. Over the years I've tried so many times to learn how to play guitar, I've been retired for a year now and decided to try for one last time... I followed your 10 day beginners course and I have finally started to play music. THANK YOU FOR CLEAR LESSONS. Tony Crouch
I CAN’T PLUCK! It sounds like a dying goose whenever I try to do the A minor
Same here 😑
Me, it's the d major that sounds like a dying goose
SAME
u made me laugh xD
lol
Me, finally starting to feel like I'm getting the hang of this: Why do I hear boss music

After 1 week, I finally finished this day.
Congrats, me!
Congrats!!!
Congrats!
Congratulations
Congrats
Your journey will be incredible
whenever he says "now let's try it really slowly" i have to adjust my playback speed to 0.5 because i can't for the life of me keep up hahaha
Yeah me too, I always put 0.75 Speed the first times
Thank you sooooo much! I was struggling and looked at the comments to see if anyone else was having the same problem and your comment saved me. Thank you so much! :)

are you still there or did you make some progress ? :D
@@lraleftvie7785 made a progress 😁 I can play this fairly "easily" now

honestly it’s kinda like his ukulele starter course where it went from you are my sunshine to riptide in one day😂
I rocked out with Andy for hours yesterday, and came into today feeling awesome and ready.
Then he started playing and my hands were about as fast as continents. Day 6 came in like a wrecking ball.
This is the thoughest one, I can't believe I almost cry.
So lovely and so hard at the same time! Anybody else learning this on quarantine? Stay safe ❤️

Nathan Jones exactly
I can't do this HAHAHA im just gonna skip at he next lesson
@@dudeman3929 are you learning right now?

smart!
Rest in peace Bill Withers. I wish I could have started these lessons a little earlier during quarantine so I could have honoured an absolute legend
You are a very good teacher. I started playing at the age of 15, and then other things took over. Now at 63, have been trying to rekindle the fire for 2 years, without much success. Finally feeling the hope!!! Thank you.
Everything was okay.. Just there were my fingers fighting with each other as the thumb string rings and others are soundless

If Andy sees this...help me out bro. You just left me hanging...
I think they're still practicing. :)
Or like me, watching the first videos a couple of times because I couldn't immediately understand
Im the one who gave up 😌💅
What really helps me is practicing one hand at a time, first the chord changes till they get in time with the beat, then the plucking patterns, then joining the two.
I am honestly so proud of myself for being able to play this entire song now! A week of daily practice later... the E to D change is soooo difficult
I think I have a problem with the plucking
Me also

Which which string is he plucking rn??😂i cant get that

I’m so excited that we get to use our finger. It makes things a little tough but I’m gonna stick it out
Loved the last trick, Andy! You're keeping a lot of us company during this lockdown, I'm sure. Thanks a lot 🤟
Did the first 5 sessions then stopped here. Now I'm back after finishing the full beginner level. The improvement is outstanding!! Thank you Andy!!
bro u didn't have to pull out that D minor on me

Christy Maria Sebastian same
I'm pissin at these comments
I’m a kid and my hands are used to it already just as Andy Guitar 🎸 said
So for the E minor you put your first finger on the 5th string, but you never pluck that string. What's the point of that?
I would also like to know why not use one finger on the left hand ?
That why he calsl it cheating G :)
I was wondering the same thing, but I think it's because he wants us to get used to the chord (?)
So I'm not the only one winderig about that lol
@@civillian1 You put your finger on that string so you develop your muscle memory. You pluck that string in other songs.
thank you for helping my grand father how to lean guitar you are the best
Loving my guitar lessons Andy. Everyday I can't wait to my practice time!
I've been trying to get the hang o finger picking for years, and while I still can't claim to be able to do it, this has helped enormously.
Thanks a lot... I see some progress in myself compared with my first day of practice and i hope, someday i will play guitar well. Much love and appreciation from nagaland.
Here for day 6! Gonna have to practice this one again.
my major problem is that the strings buzz when I play the chords yet the guitar is fully tuned. this problem is driving me insane
Press harder at your left hand
Change your strings
this happens to me too
By pressing it harder though your fingers will go numb.
The action height and the truss rod probably needs adjustment. There are several videos that help with that topic. I had obvious issues around the fifth fret and realized my neck was dead flat.
Nice awesome this is the best day for us keep it up Andy😊
The plucking is actually impossible
thank you andy for teaching me🤩
me tryna pluck:

Is anyone able to sing at the same time?

I have the same confusion. Can Andy reply please?

watching the whole series again just because I love the way Andy talks, so soothing
Andy, you are a great teacher. thank you so much for walking me through my first attempts to play guitar!! bless you.
Hey Andy, we are not using the second string (A) while playing the G, so why we have to use a finger there ?
Somebody above said that its for developing muscle memory. You wont need it in this particular song but you will need it in others.
Andy are the best, his teaching method so easy to understand and fun to learn. Thank you Andy.
my second sixth day. i hope i can pass this lesson soon xD
e-minor and g-minor have finger 1 on the second string but its not plucked - what's the point of that (holding down a string and not hitting it)?
This day's lesson almost got me giving up playing guitar hhahahahaahah
Couple months of practice and I'm now able to keep up with the fingerstyle version! Thank you, Andy!! 👊🏽👊🏽
This is the first lesson I feel Andy has poorly explained. What strings exactly am I plucking? He just sort of rushes over it. I get the thumb string and then he just says pluck everything else. But take the G chord for instance. What exactly am I plucking and not plucking?
He plainly says you’re not playing the “last string “ yet the chord picture he shows makes it appear you’re not playing the last or three second to last string.
I agree, the lessons are generally super clear but I did not understand this one. Sounded as if we were supposed to pluck only the middle three strings the whole time plus the root string, but if thats the case then we would often be holding the fourth and fifth strings but they wouldnt be played at all
I’ll try and explain it a little more clearly! So for each cord you play you pluck the “root note” first which is the lowest note in the chord. For A minor it is the second thickest string and then immediately after you pluck the three strings below it all at the same time. For Em and Gm you pluck the thickest string first and then this same three strings from before immediately after. So those three fingers never have to move for those three chords. The Dm is trickier because the root note is the third thickest (or fourth thinnest) string and then after that you would pluck the three thinnest strings underneath :) sorry if this was still confusing
devo536 Thank you for making that clear
Oh yeah!! I absolutely LOVE that song, got me so hooked up until the end, and the you mentioned the Foo Fighters ?? Yesss I’m so happy I found your lessons on TH-cam. Dude I’m living my best life learning with your videos, thank you so much for all the work you do and your help on the way of mastering playing the guitar! ✌️
Lesson 6 is quite difficult because it's my first time playing fingerstyle. When plucking, it doesn't make the correct sound. I thought to give up. But then, I realised I have to cut my nails 😂 And then, it came to my mind that if others can, why I cannot?
So, I've decided to work hard, practice everyday, then soon I'll become a professional 😊😊
Thanks Andy for making my guitar learning journey fun and exciting, you are a very good teacher
And this is where I smash my guitar into my head right?
