Thank you. I'm 71 and just started lessons. I'm enjoying my journey.

It is because of people like you, those who like sharing their knowledge to all, that too without charging anything, that I still have faith in humanity. Thank you dear angel.

No push-ups?

Thanks for the exercises! Here are some time stamps for reminders what to do when practicing (do watch the whole video for full explanation!) Right hand balancing (i-a, m-a, i-m) 1:32 string changing (i-a, m-a, i-m) 2:34 highlighting (i,a,m,p) 6:50 arpeggio 8:02 rasgueado 11:59 tremolo 14:45 Left hand spider walk 16:08 hammer on (all finger variations) 17:45 pull off 20:35 bar chords 23:34 stretching 26:52

This is brilliant. All the exercises are relevant short cuts to whatever style of music you prefer: classical, rock, metal, jazz etc. But as with all 'technique' exercises - never forget the ears. Let the ears in on every note or sequence of notes played, because it teaches the ears the subtle nuances important when performing or composing. Every note sends a single message, every sequence of notes sends a sentence, every nuance alters the meaning of the sentence. So never ever forget the ears when practising. Lots of love, Bea, for a brilliant video. Wish there'd been a guitar tutor like you when I wanted to learn to play the guitar.

I pick 2 exercises every week and work on them for 20min at the beginning of my daily practice. I like the simplicity of this approach to guitar.

I am not a classical player, but I will incorporate these exercises to my routine on steel string; I feel like it's going to boost accuracy and speed especially on my left hand (right handed) because I don't like using a plectrum when playing, I need to feel the strings :) Thank you so much for the free lesson maestro!

hi I'm italian guitar teacher i appreciate your lesson my student use them a lot,,,,Good job!

Thank you for making this video! Let me ask you: is there any age limit when trying to improve your guitar skills? I am 70 years old and have some previous practice, like at an intermediate level. My ambition is to get really efficient at 80 😊!

hello beatrix! The sound of yout guitar is soo beautiful. please tell me, which strings you are using. please

Wonderful lesson. What is that neat little suction cup stand/ rest on back of your guitar?

This is amazing! You are amazing! It sounds so fast, but you are clearly using technique to play super fast, but at a comfortable pace. Its so awesome. Like a controlled chaos. I cant decide which is more beautiful, you, or the music you make. ❤ thank you!

Thanks for these videos beatrix! they help out alot :) you the best keep rocking girl!!!

I am from Timor Leste love your channel ❤❤❤🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🖐️🤝💪

Beautiful explanaitons! Every guitar beginner player should do these exercises. Congratulations Bea! 😀

Thank you Beatrix. Anyone can & will benefit from this lesson. 👏👏👏🤗😁👍🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👋🎼

Your talent is matched only by your beauty 💖

Great exercises! While not a classical player, these exercises are universal. Thank you for your post. Subscribed.

Thanks a lot! That's impressive how much you teach in a single video. Compliments! And thanks again. 🙏🏾

Wow thank u so much for these exercises!! I picked up guitar 7 months ago and I just love it. Finger picking is my fav. My brain became better since I play guitar 😊

My exercise is practicing the ridiculously hard(for me)song I am learning, noodling for new riffs, and occasionally playing with friends.

Love your channel. Enjoy watching you mature as a musician. The "v" in video needs you to 1. push your lips out less than when making the "w" sound, like a soft kiss, and 2. blow through the small opening of your mouth. That is one exercise that will serve you well.

Thank you for taking the time to help others learn guitar. I make beats mainly on my laptop using a midi controller keyboard. I realized that most of the music I hear in my musical imagination, sounds like a r&b, blues, gospel, neo soul guitar player. These exercises and your teaching style, will help me manifest what I hear in my musical imagination. Keep up the great work! Peace an blessings to you and your family.

Omg love this video perfect in what I been wanting to learn playing with my nails thank you beatrix!!!

Don’t have long nails. I want to be good at finger picking but I don’t want long nails. 😢

Very good exercises even for non-classical players, thank you.

Hello , I have a question I just bought a Yamaha CG172SF Guitar Flamenco my question is my weight and my belly behind the guitar and being in the way when I’m playing any advice??

Beautiful talent, beautiful exercises, beautiful girl. Greetings from Ukraine.

First of all, thank you for making this video, I really appreciate it :>. I'm a new player ( like.. yesterday new..). I'm still on the 1st exercises, because my fingers keep touching the other strings.. Is this normal for beginner ..? Am I doing something wrong..? ;-; Thank you for the video ( again ), and sorry for my bad English, I'm not a native speaker.

My finger picking SUX!!! This will help a lot. Thanks. Oh, by the way, you have beautiful eyes. ❤️🌹

With your videos I can practice mi technique and my listening english skill thanks you.

Minute 16:51 I just realised my ring finger does not have brain connection 😅

Lovely to hear some favourite pieces being played in the background. Is that deliberate?

The excessive jump cuts in editing are very distracting. Just speak, and don't be afraid of including the final syllable of a sentence, or even just the breath in-between. It's how people generally talk.

İngilizce bilmiyorum ama harika anlatıyorsun 😊

Thanks, Beatrix - these are fantastic! (Although I have to confess, that final left-hand stretching exercise is a chop-buster for me...) I hope you don't mind if I share this with my students...

Cool stuff. I suggest trying flamenco tremolo - p i a m i. It's seems to flow, fun to do and makes "Recuerdos de la Alhambra" sing.

Hi 🙂 Very professional explaining, keep it! Thanks 👍🎶💖

Ì think you just need a few exercises, too. You need something that builds stamina, flexibility, and timing at the same time, and have the most important aspects covered. I think there's no way around to have more exercises duo to the high amount of different techniques, though, but in order to have your hands fit, there's really not much you have to do.

Это один метод.Но есть другой-усилие пальца исходит от 3-го сустава пальца(считая от ногтя).

Any suggestions on keeping a decent crop of fingernails? I work outside a lot, and have thin, flexible fingernails that damage easily. So I keep them as short as the nails on my fret hand? I don't know what to do.

Hi Beatrix. I am very grateful for your exercises which helped my technique a lot. Greetings from Brasil.

❤❤❤ спасибо🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕 ❤привет из Сибири,, спасибо, милая!!!! Óбнял🙏💕

I just want to ask that can I learn classical guitar techniques on an acoustic guitar. Obviously, I know they are different but as of now I really have the money to buy a classical guitar.

Hi. I've got classic guitar and I am learning how to play it on yousican guitar. But I found out that the lessons on yousican for acoustic. So ,should I keep learning

Boa noite! Gostei muito dos exercícios e da forma como você os explicou. Excelente vídeo. Obrigado por compartilhar. Parabéns!!! Curitiba, Paraná - Brasil

I apologize for the number of my questions, but do you have lessons geared to begining players?

Guys, I didn't understand the fisrt exercise sheet music that she put on the right down side. Couldn't any of u help with the read of the sheet music in orer of me to reproduce this exercise on my guitar? Big thanks for the help.

I didn't see a single exercise that hit the legs on a big leg day. I don't mean to be critical....but what an oversight???!!!

What’s the name of the book mentioned at 3:39? Specifically the name of the author please 🙏🏼

Your channel is fantastic, thank you for sharing your insights!

A total beginner, bought second hand but two strings look discoloured. I tuned them but should I cheer them? It’s the steel strings

I don't like using my index and middle fingers on bass guitars because it's like using sandpaper. It eats your nails. I only use it when it is essential in the songs. When studying, I avoid it.

waiting for your video on scales lol

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏 this is the best guitar lesson I’ve ever had or seen online.

Hmmmmm.....sure did help....could you travel to boston ma so we can collaberate.....

Wonderful video. 😊

I like designating one string per finger And that finger does not play any other strings My pinky plays 1&2

Background music is awful and totally distracting when you are talking

Barre chords always gave me trouble. ( Bad habits...)

This is a great lesson, Dear Guitar Lady! Makes me think you're a great teacher as well! 👍💓

She should have one million subs...

Just done subscribe..Am just a new guitar learner and i think that what's brings me here ....

Your channel is very good I would like to chat with you sometime.

Hi Beatrix, those are fine exercises. Perhaps at some point, you might demonstrate apoyando. You are doing a real service to players.

Thanks for posting these exercises, they are very helpful.......especially for this old guy! All the best, Will.

That's nice. I been into rock n' roll for year, now that I want to join classical I found this. Thanks

Beatrix, nagyon szépen köszönöm a leckét. Abszolút kezdőként szeretnék egy stabil technikát felépíteni. Gyakorlataid segítenek ebben. Volna egy kérdésem. A jobb csuklót egyenesen kell tartani amikor i m ujjakkal pengetek a mélyebb húrok felé? Ilyenkor kicsit a könyököm és a vállam is fölfelé mozdul. A tanárom szerint a könyökömnek és vállamnak mozdulatlannak kell lenni. Szerinte a jobb pengető kezemet kellene kicsit bal felé fordítani. Ezt viszont én nem tartom ergonomikusnak. Neked mi a véleményed erről? Szerintem nagyon jó az angolod, először nem is ismertem fel hogy nem az anyanyelved. Lehetséges magyar aláírással ellátni a videóidat? Hogyan mondod angolul húrbiztonság? Örülök, hogy rád találtam a 8 milliárd ember között , büszke vagyok rád. ❤

Miért van nekünk magyaroknak ilyen, mással össze nem keverhető akcentusunk? Elég volt egy pár szó és rögtön tudtam ki beszél. 🤷‍♂️ Köszi az ingyen leckét különben... Már csak egy gitárt kell valahonnan szereznem és én is tudok gyakorolni. 🤭

Amazing,this guitar sounds better than any pi👌✌️

I super appreciate your detailed explanations and exactness 🙏🤗

The only thing you need is fingernails xDDD and maybe this exercise

Hey 59 k subs! When did that happen? congrats! tunes.

anybody know her nationality? ive been trying to figure out this accent the whole time

Looks very similar to 2sich? Is this one from the Putin?

This also helps for electric guitar , thanks .

I am a Classical Guitar Player, and I use Flamenco Guitar Playing Techniques to develop speed and strength of my playing. ETUDE NO. 1 by Heitor Villalobos the Ultimate Arpeggio Exercise.

Beatrice la maestra musicale più simpatica di tuttoooo il web !!

This is video about discrimination of right hand's pinky

As an electric guitarist i discovered that exercises when some of your fingers are "glued" on the fretboard, and other fingers are moving, that sort of exercises are extremely effective 🤟

You very nice

Oh, milyen jó lett volna egy szép gitár lecke magyarul. Angolul már olyan sok van.

Thanks. Can you position the camera so that we can see your right hand?

please recommend a guitar , i am a beginner but i like the good sound guitar

You are Amaysing.. Meeegaaaaa Goody Teacher❤

What tune can be heard in the background at 6.31. Thank you

@beatrixguitar Hi I have the PDF of this. In Ex 4 bar 9 The TAB has put the B as an open string, breaking the pattern. Enjoying the videos! Thanks

I love you and your techniques,you are a great inspiration.

Great fantastic. I like this type of serious important unique necessary lessons

You must improve your teaching skills thank u

The alternating quarter and eight notes, if sped up to sixteenths and 32nds, is literally a drum core exercise called chicken and a roll 😂

what do you want to convey? I mean who is the video for and what are you teaching?

Please assure me that these work for electric guitars too. Please.

شكرا" جزيلا" ❤ التمارين التي قدمتيها رائعة جدا ومفيدة It helps me a lot to start my journey with my guitar❤❤

Terrible sloppy clean it up . Waist of time

the stereo sound so unbalanced in some moments made me scare .. otherwise nice video

Big big shame at 10:00 we don't see right hand fingers :)

Hi!,you are an amazing teacher, thank you Beatrix

Great, you have summarized all the videos on RU-vid. You are amazing and professional. Thank you.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
