Thanks Esther, I'm glad it's helping. I'm putting this series into a playlist that you might find useful as well. ru-vid.com/group/PLy_Iln9n-YVNV-XRh1c5WfiD_UKzetZ1V You can subscribe to the channel too, there's heaps on there.
Thank you :) Got a new one coming, hopefully tomorrow. Been using a £25 one from The Works, but I've had one custom made with a hand built box, license plate, toaster humbucker pickup and volume/tone controls. Can't wait :)
With any lesson there'll be some background information, can't start everything from zero, if you had that I'm sure you'd fine. Most of my RU-vid lessons assume some prior knowledge, and I know that the people that have done my courses will have that. If you don't get it yet then you''ll have to learn a little about how rhythm works first, if you want to of course.
Ongaku Hi there. This guitar has markers on the top of the neck so that I can see them and not the face. I put the stickers on so that you can see in the videos where I'm moving my slide to, the different colours aren't significant. They mark the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 12th fret positions.
Hi there Bart. I've replied to your email mate so I won't repeat myself here. The short answer though is ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oe30zGqvDUU.html
Thanks so much mate. Been out teaching sailing all day and I really appreciate your response. I hope you are having success with your on line classes. I can see you're attentive which as a teacher I appreciate.
Excellent lesson! I do have one question though. When you say kick and snare, what movements are you doing? I saw kick was just plucking the low G, but it looked like snare was plucking every single string in a triple pinch. Am I correct? I'm a little unsure of the term, and would like to know how to apply these to music. Thanks in advance!
Hi Kieran. I mentioned kick and snare in reference to the way these two drums: kick/bass drum and the snare drum, tend to work in your standard drum beat. The kick plays the first and third beats and the snare the second and fourth. You're more likely to get the idea by listening to a drummer than trying to figure out the theory, hence the use of the terms. Likewise if you approach the groove like a drummer would it'll sound, well, groovier.
