    Spent years wanting to learn guitar but wasted so much time bc I was intimidated by all the steps and had no idea where to begin. Found this video and committed to learning each chord step by step. 2 days ago I could not consistently play the G major, because of pinky dexterity (or lack thereof). Now I’m playing a quick lil fiddle smoothly transitioning between G major, C major AND D major…thank you for the start I was looking for!!!

      Great comment dude. So it's not just me then? I thought the spaces impossibly small, how could I ever play clean chords with so little room? But then I thought back to my very first car driving experience 60 years ago. It was a stick shift, or manual, and I was convinced I would never be able to co-ordinate everything. Of course, within weeks it all became second nature...

    For anyone that has a hard time with their pinky, i have never struggled with my pinky because i play violin. My violin students strugle with their pinky a lot, so i recomend them doing "pinky push ups". Ypu just put your hands on your knees so that they curve, and keep that same shape (like if you were holding a ball) and move it to a flat surface (like a table) and only touch it with the tips of your fingers (but keep the curved hand) and lift your pinky up and down several times. Make sure your pinky stays curved when you lift it, you are lifting it up, not making it straight.
    This is for your left hand, and you can do this anywhere and anytime. I assign that for a week and for the next lesson they are ready to use their fourth finger. Playing power chords with the third and fourth finger (ring and pinky) also help, make sure you arpegiate the power chord to make sure it sounds clean. Your pinky will be strong in no time!
    Disclaimer: i am not a guitarist and i am barely teaching mysel, but i have progressed decently fast due to my background on violin. I also teach piano and this is an excercize i apply both to my violin students and my piano students and it works great!

    To all of you who are starting guitar, here are some quick pointers that are commonly asked on this video.
    ~~~~~~~~~~ The guitar and Strings ~~~~~~~~~~
    There is a noticeable difference in sound when it comes to the guitar you use. I use an Ovation CP 247 and I personally love the way it sounds, but my friends don't as it sounds a bit off to them. Another thing when it comes to an acoustic guitar is it's strings. The better the strings, the better the quality. Also there are guitars that are made specifically for steel strings, and specifically for nylon (It doesn't matter what type you have, both have different sounds.) So if you are starting guitar, you may find yourself starting with a cheap 30$ nylon string guitar. You don't want to spend big on your first guitar as you may end up not using it because you find it "to hard".
    ~~~~~~~~~~ Chords Help/ Finger position ~~~~~~~~~~
    Now for the chord part. When it comes to chords, it can be a pain starting off. After a couple of chords your fingers start to hurt, if your new, from pressing down the strings. Don't worry, it happened to every guitar player. You will get calluses after a while of playing guitar and it will hurt less. Now you also may not reach some chords, which is fine. There are a couple things that you can do to help you get to those chords. The main one that I found that helped the most is to re-position your thumb. This can also change the sound of the chord depending where you have it, like if you have your thumb slightly over the top of the guitar when you're playing the Chord "c" it will mute the top string. Another option to improve the reach of your fingers onto the chords is to try new fingers (if possible) as you may find it a bit easier. One last thing i'll add is to try and stretch your fingers, find tutorials on youtube, as they will lead to you being able to play different chords easier like Bar Chords.
    ~~~~~~~~~~ How to become better at chords ~~~~~~~~~~
    You may struggle swap from chord to chord fluently when you start, trust me its normal! To swap chord to chord just takes a small amount of practice, as in 10 minutes a night for about 1-2 weeks. Just set up a sheet of chords and run through them, but mix it up every night.
    This was a really quick run down on some basic points people have asked!!! If you have any questions just reply to my comment on this and i'll try and help you :)

    Hey guys I've taken guitar up since February this year, and the beginning was tough, but later on things became easier. it's just about how consistent you are, and how much you want to strive for your goal of guitar. The worst part is probably your fingers first hurting, but once you develop the calluses you will be able to play guitar for hours

      @makealasmith9878 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

I already knew about 3 of these chords on top of some other ones not mentioned, but this vid helped alot just learning those other 5. Don't download those guitar apps that you have to pay to use. it takes a little more time but being self taught and even watching videos like this go a long way even just finding sounds on the guitar that go well with other chords. thank you man and if u haven't already make some more videos going more down the neck

    This is great stuff Nate. I've just started learning at 75 and although I have good flexibility and strength in my fingers and no arthritis, I struggle using my fingertips. It hurts, and I'm told I need to build up callouses. Once callouses build up I'm expecting to not need as much pressure, making it easier to not muffle adjacent strings, which happens a lot. Plus I need MUCH more flexibility, G is impossible at the moment, I just can't get the pinky/high E fingering to work. Not even close. I can do E major and E minor reasonably well, but then they are quite easy...
    Having watched this video several times I applaud you for your patient and thorough teaching method, Nate. I expect to gain much from this and your other videos.
    I'm a left hander but told myself I was going to learn right handed from the off. Playing left handed didn't seem to make any sense whatsoever, so right handed it is. I should prepare myself for a long slog even getting through these basic chords. Well, so be it...
