6/29/23 update!
I can't believe this little video is still going and GOING! Guys, thanks for watching - it means a lot. I've 500+ videos but this was one of the first and I didn't even originally make it for YouTube. I know it looks like it was made in 1984 instead of 2012, believe me. But the content is still very cool.
Please join me on Saturdays at 5pm ET for my free YouTube Guitar Q+A livestream. Just text your questions about learning the guitar and I'll answer as many as I can in about 2 hours. If you can't make it on Saturdays, the livestreams are available to watch afterwards and soon I'll be making them into podcasts as well. I look forward to your questions!
And if you're serious about getting better at the guitar, check out my website www.song-bike.com. Lots of great content and PDFs - stuff NOT AVAILABLE on YouTube.
I do online lessons too. Email me : [email protected]
This is how you unlock a LOT of secrets on the guitar : learn the notes on your fat 6th string, the heavy E string. This will make ALL the difference whe it comes to playing barre chords, power chords, blues scales, pentatonic scales....EVERYTHING! The fretboard can be intimidating, I know ! This video shows you the best way to begin. In fact, if you ONLY learn the notes on one string, this is the ONE!
