Hey buddy I've been looking on RU-vid for weeks and getting so thrustrated till I found you the way you descibe each not and how to play them and you don't rush through the session I'm impressed I'm 56 years old and just picked up the guitar for the first time so glad I found you keep up the good work mate
James, can you recommend a beginner guitar for someone with large hands. I am currently practicing on a Yamaha classical (2" nut and flat fingerboard). Would a radiused fingerboard make a significant difference for barre chords?
I can't recommend any single guitar, as everyone's hands are so different. If possible, you should go to a music store and try as many guitars as you can. Yamaha tends to make good cheap guitars, but don't relegate yourself to the "beginner guitars." Nicer guitars are usually easier to play and sound better. Used guitars are always a great value. I've only bought 2 new guitars in my life (and about 10 used ones) and the benefit of going used, is you can resell it for roughly the same you paid, if you find it's not the right fit.
@@Good_Guitarist Thanks so much for your response James. I recognize the difficulty of the question - it was a longshot. I've tried the Yamahas but their fingerboards seem narrow for my large hands. Now that the pandemic is letting up, I'll head to the music stores and start testing (now that I've learned a few progressions from you). Thanks again for your great teaching site.
hey James! I'm a subscriber of yours and I would want you to make a tutorial on remember me from the movie coco and if you have please reply with a link
Just quadruple-checked after reading your comment and yeah, standard tuning still sounds good. The recording is maybe a couple cents below, but it's hardly noticeable.
@@Good_Guitarist I'm sorry you are of course correct. Thanks for checking it. This strumming on A chord is kinda tricky. Before this video i was just doing U-UDUDUDU (but you skip the ups in the middle. I guess this is the proper strumming i just knew the easy way. This might be the best most complete twist and shout tutorial online!
