Thank you, especially for reminding us that consistency is everything If you want to learn the guitar, or learn anything Practice every day at least 10 minutes Seven days a week Comment from : Aviva Shore |
|
I feel heard and seen Thank u for this video Comment from : Sadik a |

The finger positions for each chord covered could be made a littler clearer for a true beginner like me 😊 Lots of nuggets overall tho Comment from : Jason F |

Great job Rick on where to Fret notesbrAnd trim your finger nails! Comment from : Robert Messina |

Rick I always thought Bruce Gaitsch was a phenomenal musician and session player And, at 70, I believe he's still at it! His discography is impressive I particularly love his acoustic solo for R Marx's "Hazard" which is SOOO easy on the ears Would love to see a segment where you play this and talk about the chords/progressions! Comment from : Chad L Summers |

i'm really glad you mentioned how important the guitar set up is i know so many people who gave up learning because they found the strings were too high above the fretboard and hurt their fingers they never returned to learning because they thought all guitars were the same problem is most guitars bought online don't arrive with a pro setup Comment from : alexe54 |
|
All potential guitarists should begin with acoustic IMO Comment from : Strat Cat |
|
Thats tottally crazy Rick knows so much details Comment from : Jean Philippe Landry |
|
You play your A major the same way I do I learned from Mel Bay My buddy criticizes me because I don't bar my A and B chords I used to play rhythm in a blue grass band and it's all open chords Not barre chords I'm digging this video Similar techniques Comment from : John Rotonto |
|
What do you think about Tim Reynolds? Very curious… Comment from : Daniel La Salle |
|
Thank you very much! Very informative video lesson! I am an absolute beginner to playing the guitar and I learned a lot! I will keep this video as a reference What I will take away from this one session of watching this time:br1) Make sure your fingers are locked together when you are playing chords in which your fingers are on adjacent stringsbr2) You need to practice persistently (I am trying to practice everyday)br3) It is ok to intentionally mute string(s) for learning purposes (specifically the low E string)br4) Play behind your fretting hand (I will have to go over this concept again - to make sure I completely understand it)brbr5) You want to keep your hands in the same shape to make it easier to change chords quickerbr6) The Am and E (major) chords have the same shape The E chord is the Am chord just with your fingers moved up 1 string Comment from : JJ The Great |
|
I remember when I first started learning acoustic guitar and how hard it was trying to make cord shapes With a lot of practice and perseverance I play them without thinking about it It takes time and a lot of practice and patience Comment from : Leland Nolan |

Thank you Rick for sharing this wonderful lessons with meI'm trying to learn guitarI'm a beginnerI play intermediate violin Comment from : Linda Reese |

Rick, how about teaching beginners to use the barre chord position, leaving out the index finger, and use your middle/ring and pinky to play the E major, A minor (and several other 'beginner chords') to minimize changing finger positions ? Almost all beginner manuals show using the index, middle and ring finger to play E major, A minor etc on the first and second frets Its really a barre chord except that low on the neck its the 'nut' playing the barre (replacing the index finger) I use my ring finger to play the A major across 3 strings (B,G,A) at the 2nd fret and can slide it right up to the say the 2nd fret (barre with index) and ring across the same 3 strings but at the 4th fret and so on up the neck Same with an E chord, which is just a G barre chord position at the bottom of the neck, the 'nut' replacing the index finger (E major chord) If you have a second, what do you think ?br Man this is so much easier to demonstrate on a guitar in person than to describe on on a web page, lol!!br*Note: this doesn't follow for the G or C chords and the D has its own shape but for the A and E, chord shapes (and all their variants) it works beautiful !! The problem is that for old people, like myself, I find it hard to learn new 'tricks' like this but if I were teaching a beginners this is exactly how I would teach them -its just soooo much faster / easier !!

You should call your next project “Vintage Sausage” after your followers (Me included) Comment from : Kirk’s Report |

Why do some people play acoustic cleanly, while others have this annoying squeal of sound as they change frets with their hands, allowing this grating scrapping sound to be produced? Comment from : RSENALs ARSENAL |

D Major made me quit guitar several times 😂 Comment from : J |

27:44 B7brI could be wrong, but that sounds like a one used in Johnny Cash's 'Why Me, Lord?' Comment from : William Driscoll |
|
I know this is over a year old, but the action on my guitar seems really high to me When I lift my fingers straight up off the strings sometimes they make a sound Hammer ons and pull offs sound good I took it to a local guitar shop (all young kids working there) and they said it isn't highbrbr Which way would I turn the Truss Rod to lower the action and is there some way to measure how high the strings are? Is there a standard height for the strings? I bought an electric guitar to prove to myself that learning to play on my acoustic was making it harder than it need to be I used to play a few cords and bar cords on an electric guitar in the basement band back in the 80's, so I know I'm capable 🙂 Comment from : Fish-A-Roo-Ski |

rick just like you to try playing chords, Am , Amaj, Emaj (Em wiith 1 middle finger ) the rest just 2 fingers -index and middle fingersbri found that it very hard to play an A chord with 3 fingers on one fret getting buzzing all the time so came up the 2 finger methodbrplease please please try this works great -------split 3 strings between 2 fingers Comment from : joe pellechia |

Though you didn't go into the whys of it, I did appreciate you making the distinction that classical guitar technique is a whole different animal Comment from : Daniel McCoy |

This is my initial visit and the background studio with the line-up of guitars is so cool To have that type of space to spread out and keep the beauties in line is really, really nice and you my friend have a neat cave that anyone who is a guitar enthusiast would love I loved your educational teaching here also Comment from : JO Q |

|
I bought you guitar lessons pack for $99 not shown up Help Comment from : Syd Goldis |
|
Great content however I wish there were zooms on the actual fretting of the chords! Hard to see and capture the details Is this indicative of his beginner course? Comment from : John Ghadimi |
|
I find it much easier to hold my pick and have my hand open I use my pinky as a stable to keep my strum hand in position pulling it on and off of the guitar as I play Comment from : Samual the Lamanite |

Hey Rick, good news Yes you're an old guy I'm 8 years older than you and I'm an old guy Congrats is making 60 I enjoy each and every day I get alive and live it to the max I still work full time, (my choice), at a career I love and so do you Enjoy your age, embrace it and make every day the best it can be God bless you and yours, we love you Comment from : JohnnyZap9 |
|
Well, dang, a month and a half into owning my first acoustic and trying to develop good technique, this is the video I needed The G to D transition has been a hard one for me since relearning chords with proper thumb position The "common fingers not moving" tip will help a ton Comment from : Joshua Haider |
|
I can't thank you enough, if I'd known these "tiny" details before like keeping your fingers together,or muting the thick E string,or keeping the fingers that don't change position locked in the fretI can play these chords but I get a lot of buzz,I'll start practicing these tips an see how it goesTks again! Comment from : Adolfo Evangelista |

Thumb muting also helps when you start using your thumb for slash chords on the low E string Comment from : Ian Tarasevitsch |

"old-Man"huh Kids have a humbling quality don't they? Comment from : Cocky SonuvaB* |

Anyone who whines "DONT START THEM OUT WITH CHORDS" needs to get duct taped to the lockers in a 90s high school Yea, sure i'm autistic and chords BUG ME? But without KNOWING chords, you don't get how the finger notes work - those chords still even in metallica's shredding ARE IMPERATIVE to how the sounds work Your tabs, even if you have notes on the frets - will still correlate to a chord How do i know this without being great at guitar? XD Both parents knew a bit about guitar, took guitar a couple times in high school - and maybe attempting at age 40 getting back into learning it out of all instruments I Know we could keep at guitar is likely the only one Comment from : Duskfall |
|
Very good basics! I vary my fingering depending on what's before and after, and you describe this perfectly It's always good to look for the common notes and just keep them Also good to know a couple of voicings for each chord Hands are different so not everybody can take an F bar chord effectively Comment from : chugga505 |

My son's name is Lennon, good choice How old is she @RickBeato? my son was born in 2007 Comment from : Music of Walter Portugal |

Rick, Well I hope you’re around a long long time because I’m going to take a long long time learning, now at 50 days of guitar! Practice 90mX7days and I need every minute😮 Really really enjoying it … Comment from : Greg Gramig |
|
If you teach fingerstyle from the start, you can teach right hand string muting I actually fold the thumb over on the back for some chords The arpeggios arrive naturally this way And you can hit many simultaneous notes in a chord Comment from : AugustusLarch |
|
The brace Keep wearing lesser versions of that for long after it quits hurting No pain meds either Take it dry I work carpentry And I have recovered many injuries on both knees I had to have the right one reconstructed after an accident I am fully healed today Comment from : AugustusLarch |

Love the tutorial - Great help!! Comment from : Marc Piscaer |

Tip: if you want to play a fast riff, start with the upstroke and emphasise it Comment from : johnson johns |
|
Where is Moose the perpetrator? What breed is he? I would like to see him in one of your videos Comment from : Gary Sandifer |
|
When I teach I usually use G C and D as the first chords to teach The reason why is because there are so many songs that use that chord progression especially country music I find that if a beginning student can play a song right away they are more likely to stick with it I may be wrong but I have found that they are more proud with their playing if they know a simple song Also using down strokes on strumming and teaching a simple 4 beat measure is useful Comment from : Dave Mesker |
|
I've tried to help beginners before, and always found it frustrating Going forward, they will ALL watch this video in its entirety before I even start Cheers man! Comment from : Mike Sekula |
|
A good beginner song to teach is house of the rising sun It uses some of the chords you mention but the picking although simple can be a challenge Comment from : John Maves |
|
i do pretty good with basic chords, strumming, hammer ons and pull offs- but mannn, i struggle with bar chords!!! what's the secret???? Comment from : Scottyboy |
|
This was excellent I can’t wait to add the extra finger to my G to help guide me to the D Comment from : lildeena1 |
|
So awesome video Rick, info packed! Comment from : Brian OConnor |
|
I've been playing for about 50 years, and I still think this is a great refresher video on the basics It's always worth reviewing the things you thought you were good at later on in life Comment from : Gil René |

I picked up my guitar again today I never really got far, but the chords are still in the fingers My dream is to either play Bossa Nova or Jazz chords Way to go (I guess) 🥲 Comment from : Tomas Viane |

Hey Rick! Please do "what makes this song great" with "the la's - there she goes" ! It's almost better than the Beatles Can't stop listening Comment from : Teddi Meck |

Rick you're a great teacher! Another excellent channel for guitar is Paul Davids, Rick has collaborated with him before he's so good Comment from : cloudbloom |
|
Rick is a good teacher Comment from : Major Twang |

❤ Rick Beato I got the beginner guitar course ( the entire bundle as well) via the black Friday special! Years be gone I used to play some guitar but never my ability could match what my ear wants to hear played How do we music appreciators manage that obstacle? I’ve been doing what you recommend and practice every day and I’m really enjoying it but my desire seems to be tougher than my fingers I’m a Nana ,65 years on the planet Thank you for looking out for the passion in us at the remedial levels of learning to play a guitar!Truly been a cool thing Appreciate you very much in all of your video content Comment from : SeeCee |

Just 50 seconds into your video, and I felt this energy that we could just sit in a table with friends, drinking a beer and tak about life There's your like and subscribe my friend; great guy, great energy! Comment from : Francisco Silva |

At age 60, had my first lesson last week, glad to see my instructor covering many of these same things Rick Hopefully this old dog can learn a new trick and can play this darn thing Comment from : James S |

I have been playing guitar for 61 years I have also taught guitar to single students, as well as classes of as many as ten students in a neighborhood summer program My youngest student was a very motivated six year old, and my oldest was my father, who started at the age of 70 I have learned over the years that not every great guitarist can be a great guitar teacher It is a very different thing to instinctively do something by muscle memory every time you pick up a guitar, than it is to inwardly examine your technique to the point where you actually know why you do this, or that, with your strumming hand, or why you place your fingers where on the strings and fret board on your fingering hand Not every guitar player is willing, or even capable of self-examination to the point where they can effectively transfer their possibly vast knowledge to a brand new student of the guitar My first attempts at guitar teaching were prompted by folks being somewhat impressed by my abilities and God-given talent But unfortunately, I hadn’t taken the time to examine “why I do the things I do” to the point that I could effectively transfer that knowledge to any student My first few teaching projects were not successful, to say the least It was not until I began to break down my techniques and moves that I truly began to teach, effectively that isbrRick, is not only an amazing master on the guitar, but after watching this video, I can attest to the fact that he has down his self- examination homework, and is truly a teacher to learn from There is an old adage that tells “those that can’t do, teach” But it it is still more true that “ those that can do, can’t always teach” Thank you Rick for showing how a real guitar teacher is supposed to do it Well done !!!

Nice content Do you use B camera shots for closeups of your hand positioning or possibly graphic representations of the fretting in your beginner lesson series Comment from : KKMDStyle |
|
You are so cool😅😅 Comment from : Luis Roldan |
|
I like lesson Comment from : Luis Roldan |
|
Rick, I just tried the closed hand position holding the pick Now, can you do a video on the best way to get the pick out of the guitar? I spazzed out and it fell in One time I used a straw and a piece of gum That works pretty well, but you need "Operation" hands to pull this off Comment from : Greg Rush |
|
Capo is pronounced Cap-oh Not cay-po It's from the Italian word for head Comment from : Mobsie sixsixsix |
|
I would give an arm and leg to have Mr Beato teach me guitar 😲 Comment from : Kelly Dierick |
|
Instead of playing an A chord with fingers 123 or 234 as Rick shows, I was taught to do 213 Almost an inverted D shape It really helps to slide into other chords Comment from : WStrude |
|
Really good video Rick Comment from : wecklpeart |
|
I play A Major with just my left index finger I find that I can get to that chord much quicker by playing it with just my index finger Comment from : wecklpeart |
|
Damn, a Mel Bay guitar book! I had one, as well as the "Play Guitar With The Ventures" book and LP set Neither of which helped me learn to play in the slightest 😏😏😏 Comment from : Robert Kelly |

Rick, I've been recently mesmerized by Ventura Highway It's so inspiring Comment from : Thomas Tucker |
