Man, I love your humor! You are now my guitar mom, helping me go from noob to...more. Thank you for making these awesome videos, and I greatly appreciate that you've started adding the visual of finger placement on chords, which was missing (to my great annoyance) in earlier videos. You're really good at explaining everything. I have enough music theory knowledge to not be totally lost. And I'll totally have your back in a zombie apocalypse - mainly because I see bonfires and music in downtime.

@bambirapinbogin 11 дней назад

Coming from a music theory background being a choral singer for years I was super comfortable with the technique stuff. I was super comfortable with the music theory stuff. I’m at the point where I have every scale memorized and I can play them quickly. I know every cord and I can switch between them quickly, but I can play exactly 0 things all the way through and I do not remember one string songs like Iron Manor smoke on the water I need to go back and relearn those because trying to play them right now I can’t do it

@bambirapinbogin 11 дней назад

But for example, I can’t play a single song, but if you wanted me to write out the chords and the notes from a piece of quarterstaff sheet music from a song, I’ve never seen before I could do it, even if it was in the wildest signature you could possibly think of in the bass clef instead of the treble clef

@andriirad 5 месяцев назад

Mate, it's mind-blowing! This is exactly where I am now, in my guitar journey! I started to learn how to play the guitar about 3 weeks ago and chosen you chanel as my primary guide. As for now I've learned all basic 7 chords, you've recommended and kinda mastered to practice the spider web exercise with 80 bpm. Moving further, about a week ago (more like 10 days) I started to learn how to play my first song and chose "Hurt", as it was your recommendation + I found it great for me, as that time I was struggling with C chord and this song helped me a lot of mastering it. However, at this point I'm starting to lose the motivation as no matter how hard I try - I can't switch the chords in this song, as the timing requires. In particular from C to D. And this is only 3 cords of the first part of the song. Then moving to G makes it even worse, as it takes even more time then from C to D( I'm doing your switching cord exercise with metronome everyday, but still can't switch between the chords in this song, as it should be. Is there anything I can do - to improve that? Or it's really taking so much time - to build this skill?

@KevinsdadNorb 5 месяцев назад

Hi, Kevin’s dad here and I am right with you - I can switch between the D and C chords with the metronome on 80 like a champ, but when I try to change while playing a song (Wagon Wheel) I rarely hit them cleanly. I’m just bearing down on it in practice - it’s getting better but I’m still not happy with it. Kevin is posting our second lesson today or tomorrow and we talk about there. (If that makes the cut).

@andriirad 5 месяцев назад

@@KevinsdadNorb , hi, Kevin's dad! Really glad to read your reply to my post! When I saw the first video with you and Kevin, my initial thoughts were the same, like: it seems like I started to learn to play the guitar about the same time as you, so it will be interesting to watch your progress and compare it to mine - to realize how efficient my practice is. Since I've written this post, I actually made a slight progress in switching between C and D and kinda playing the Verse part of the "Hurt", the way I almost can tolerate it ;-) So I guess the only way to improve it further - is to keep practicing. Really waiting to see the second video with you and Kevin. Don't give up and keep practicing, as your personal progress will be a clear motivation for me ;-) p.s: btw, I'm 38 years old, so also in a "late learners boat"

@spacedasher5237 5 месяцев назад

@gnjprice 5 месяцев назад

This is great! Thank you. Great song that will challenge me while I go through your lessons. Week 2 has been practicing week 1 along with learning my new song. I think I will switch my song to Hurt, really love how it sounds… Can you cover setting up a new guitar. I feel like my guitar needs fine tuned just a bit. I notice a vibration on the 6th string, E. Maybe there is something you do when you get a new guitar based on your experience?

@kellyburgessart 3 месяца назад

@kevinnickens Hey Kevin - randomly picking a video to make a comment, just to you in general, not specifically about the song, altho I've watched this video and have been working on L1 of this song. I'm a beginner and watch your videos (working my way thru the beginner vids while also practicing amap, which is a fair amount!). I really REALLY want to thank you for a) making these great videos and roadmap and b) encouraging us to use a metronome. I've been learning Gentle on my Mind because I like the chord changes (I can manage them quickly), I like the melody for accompaniment, but my progress felt stagnant JUST LIKE YOU SAID IT WOULD - not dynamic - and then I DID what you recommended and used the metronome and BAM game changer!! Oh, and I also played louder, like my life depended on it a wee bit.... THANK YOU. Hi to your dad. Love having another beginner along the journey.

Johnny Cash? I think the authorship of the song is… not Johnny. Lead singer of Nine Inch Nails…. Trent Reznor. There, I fixed it!

@kevinnickens 5 месяцев назад

Yep! Mentioned in the video. The guitar parts are different and I broke down the Cash version here 👍

@yestfmf 5 месяцев назад

Reznor was surprised and honored that someone of Cash’s stature would want to cover his song. Upon hearing it he said that JC had transformed it and gave it a whole new level of meaning. he felt like it was no longer his own. In short, he liked it.
