Hi, I'm Mark and I've been teaching and playing guitar professionally for 26 years now, and I've picked up a lot of insights along the way; things I wish I had known when I started out. That's why I started this channel - to share this knowledge with you.
But this is more than just a place to learn guitar. It's also place where you can hang out, relax, be yourself, get support, make friends and get inspired to have more fun with your guitar.
So go ahead. Pick up your axe. Hit play. And be a better guitarist.

@khaben6986 4 года назад

In quarantine now I started learning guitar it's quite hard to hold the pick correctly and it plays a big role to get the proper sound 😅... Specially bcz I'm a lefty, I found it harder 😐

@amaliashahira3167 4 года назад

@@khaben6986 same! I am a lefty ukuler trying to learn guitar in quarantine. I find using guitar pick is hard as I played ukulele without using any pick before.

@sarahdunham4396 3 года назад

That would be me, too. ;-)

@dbrapp 10 лет назад

For years I hated using a pick because I never held it correctly. Can't believe how easily you just taught me how to use one and how natural it feels. Great lesson.

@lewissjj1417 4 года назад

I've played guitar for a year and totally forgot to practice picking, I only practiced fingerpicking and I'm pretty good at it.

@uroboric 4 года назад

Yuki Tomo same. I played fingerstyle on a classical guitar for 8 year. Now I boight an electric guitar and I feel like I just started playing

@mirostanimirov8952 4 года назад

Me too! So, do we REALLY need the feather-pick?? I like the "thub" sound of fingers playing

Can we still hold and use a guitar pick if Mark isn't there? (Title of video is ambiguous). Oh, and great lesson, thx.

Lol you just turned this into a philosophical problem.if a tree fell in the woods and Mark McKenzie didn't see it, did it really happen?

10/10 the money shot is at 7:25 and onwards. i've been playing and learning on my own for years and i truly believe this piece of information is a major milestone for me. iv been holding my pick like that crane reference and by putting my index finger where you said i can already feel the difference which is awesome because i hit a wall and didn't think i could get any better on my own. so thanks very much for giving me something to work with again. ill have to check out some of your other videos now.

Thannk you kind sir.

@TheJoshtheboss 8 лет назад

I play about 10 months now, but must say I find fingerpicking much easier in comparison with a pick. With the pick you must seek out each string as if using one finger. 4 fingers are so much easier. But the sound is so much crispier with a pick :(. Must learn the pick.

@jeremyformerlyknownastoken8218 7 лет назад

JoshTheBoss Do you have long nails? Because that really helps. I think playing with your fingers gives a warmer sound.

@TheJoshtheboss 7 лет назад

Token Live Mattters I noticed with the nails it sounds nice. I don't really have long nails. Maybe when I get better I might grow them then. Pick is nice for strumming, palm muting , and semi-picking (my own term). Finger style is a finger style though.

@REBELLIC1OUS 9 лет назад

I don't understand how to strum lightly with a pick? It's just so loud all the time. I've been trying for a few weeks now and it's certainly becoming a lot more comfortable to pluck strings and etc. but I still can't moderate how hard I hit the strings.

+Reuben Walker, what about using a thinner pick? 0.5 mm, for example.

@lonivanbuni6793 8 лет назад

Im left handed, but play right handed. Playing with a pick just feels super clunky and clumsy to me... But this video really helped me out a lot!

@Jke-bg4yu 4 года назад

LoniVanBuni I’m a left handed right hand guitarist too, I agree

@melonbals5512 3 года назад

i heard that being left handed helps you learn to fret better but idk

@milesIronwood93 2 года назад

Classically trained guitarist here, I've struggled with picks for years. I couldn't figure out how to hold the damn thing and have given up many times. Will try everything mentioned in the video, thanks
