You are the only instructor who’s been able to break the guitar down in such simple terms. The fact you do this, and mostly for free, is a testament to your love of music and wanting others to share in that joy. Thank you for inspiring and empowering all of us! You are a gift to your audience.
Thanks, Erich, especially during this pandemic, when it’s hard to have personal lessons. I really appreciate your ‘walking through the basics’. I’m 61, and a relative beginner to guitar playing.
Thanks Eric. I'm a middle aged guy trying to learn my first instrument. Love your lessons and your epiphone contest. I need all the help I can get. Keep up your great work.
I am so very glad I come across these lesson you offer. I stoped practicing 12yrs ago for what reason I don't know. But I have started again. It seems I have lost all what I had learned but just a little. So this is great your instruction is easily received. Thank you very much for your style of presentation it really help my confidence and makes practicing more enjoyable again.
Really good video. I’m sure you delve into it down the road, but I would argue the concept of accents should be introduced early, as otherwise folks might not realize they’re applying this concept correctly. The 2 on your Folsom Prison is an example. Really knits it together. But I understand this is more beginner level stuff, and it is a very clear, concise version of that.
Great tutorial, this time round it really clicked! Too late at night last time. Thank you sir! And thank you for the free course, I'm all signed up. Greetings from Scotland.
Great lesson! I've been playing nothing but covers and just starting to do practice instead of just playing songs. I've killed the DDUUDU to the point my playing sounds dull using the same or similar patterns. This one is new and exciting and I look forward to learning much more. I've been playing 10 years so some of my playing sounds good, but I want it to sound mucg more than just good haha.
Thanks for this video! I think I will go to your website and take your lessons there! My question is : when I want to play a new song, how do I know which strumming pattern to use? Greetings from Germany :)
YourGuitarSage Can I also say that I'm looking to get into electric guitar? Because I'm looking for one that's suitable for a beginner-intermiediate player...
Not sure if you still check comments on this one but I played poorly but stopped 25 years ago. Just started again. Basic knowledge of chords, no scales or anything. Don’t know how to fingerpick yet and was going to try. Also need to clean up how I play my chords and stop hitting wrong strings randomly and want to be able to pick out some bass notes while I play. I guess until I saw this I hadn’t realized how important strum patterns are since I always just played to my records. With this long list of things I want to learn and being nearly 50 years old now...do the strumming patterns become something you just do without thinking about it after you get it down? I have so much to learn and no idea where to start or if I should just not even bother with some stuff. Feeling rather hopeless in regards to it.

+YourGuitarSage does this work on eletric guitar the reason I ask is because I'm getting a acoustic guitar for Christmas and all I have right now is a eletric
Hey on your video on the top 5 things they don't tell you about learning guitar helped me out a lot!!!! And along with this video so far I have been able to do intros of songs but not full songs. And do you think you could do a tutorial on Drop C tuning?
Your video is very helpful! Thank you ! I am trying to find the right strumming for the song “A lit of bit of my love” starting with the “Bm” chord. Which chord from your PDF you think would fit better? Thank you!
Luther Perkins actually used an alternate base strum that goes something like this, using the E chord for example: 1 bass note E. 2 the rest of the chord. 3 bass note B. 4 rest of chord. If you want his infamous train sound, you can do an up stroke at the end of the 2 & 4 count leading to the next count. The "and" in other words. The chords are E, A, and B7, with a capo on the 1st fret optional.
Is it just me having problems with the site? I clicked to get the 30 free beginner stuff to check it out before subscribing. It says all set just log in. But I don't have a password nor did it ask me to set one up..

That's awesome
For the Folsom Blues strumming, I would like to know how that looks like on paper. How is it indicated how you should strum? I'll go check the pdfs.
1 2 3+4+
Pretty cool bro, I'm just learning but need a new guitar.
Sage, I have to ask as a beginner.do you suggest learning to pick first or strum first
Pick first my friend! Here are my vids for free in step-by-step format 🙌
I'd like to know the exact chord/notes he's playing for Fulsom Prison Blues. Seems like he is just hitting one bass note on beat one.
I have a video for Folsom.
Luther Perkins actually used an alternate base strum that goes something like this, using the E chord for example: 1 bass note E. 2 the rest of the chord. 3 bass note B. 4 rest of chord.

The chords are E, A, and B7, with a capo on the 1st fret optional.
Oh, the intro is B B B B D# D# D# B F# E G F# E - Raised a half step if using the optional capo on the 1st fret
Should you hit on all strings..??
Amazing amazing amazing . . .😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Is it a must to use your feet too?

If you did it, right, it would have sent you one. You might want to check junk/spam. We have hundreds of thousands in the program, so it’s working.
the link to the 30 lessons doesnt work. it takes you to a site that list other sites and has a message for the webmaster to contact them. looks like a lot of great info so far though. keep up the good work.
Our website is down today. Jan 4th, 2018. Please check back tomorrow. You can find my free course on Udemy and SkillShare also!
Link didn't work. Had me sign up for 365 guitar website account then took me through a loop. Never gave me a pdf to download.
