Maybe worth taking some good advice here with players that have short fingers, well worth viewing youtube/BKHYTY8tRVc
Comment from : paul ec

What advice do you have for short fingered guitarist who have difficulty with the little finger reaching across using all four fingers across the frets to practice scales, I’ve always found it difficult to span the fretboard with the little finger and find it very uncomfortable to play even with thumb correctly positioned Perhaps the text books can be rewritten where it is acceptable to use 4 or 5 strings to learn scales Most new players with short fingers would give up on the text book theory’s trying and learning to play guitar to uncomfortably stretch and make slow progress plus the agony of hardening the finger tips Lots of advice from on YouTube by flashy playing long fingered guitarist, See this link youtube/bgnFoiqXA8s as this may help

Chappers! Great lesson! I really got outta this some great advise on how playing guitar and writing interact, the practice advise, spot on will be using the techniques you showed us on using the guitar pick for the various sounds and genre's Beings blues guitarist, when I grow up, I will be utilizing that picking technique Thanks brother!
Comment from : D L Johnson

Comment from : j j

Comment from : James Slockbower

Thanks for this Just got my guitar this week A friend showed me how to play a song but I miss the strings alot You showed me this and I hit every string and note all the way down It felt really good I fumbled a bit on the way back up but I don't feel retarded and I can practice this
Comment from : HAVAK37

Dude your demonstration (finger movement) is a little fast making it difficult to see the pattern I’m a newbie :-)
Comment from : KKMDStyle

Dude, the advice for holding the guitar in that manner is great! What do suggest for fingers that seem to always touch more than one string though I’ve practiced so much so far?
Comment from : KKMDStyle

That is the classical position

9:22 Congratulations, you've now almost learned the riff to Plug In Baby by Muse :p
Comment from : Слава Україні

got my first guitar 2 days ago, and i would test this all out now but its 1am, but i tried holding it on my left knee and it was better than what I'd been doing before, and do you have any tips for getting my fingers to reach strings better, and how to stop strings not sounding as good when pressed down
Comment from : molly

dude why am i just finding this, the simple change in how i sit holding the guitar body between my legs has changed everything for the better, thanks so much its so much more comfortable for me, plus i have small hands, im not a very large person and my guitar is full sized

10:15 Paul Gilbert uses dunlop red picks which are 60mm and soft He seems to do fine with these, makes for better sounding pick scratches

If you had an American accent I wouldn't listen to anything you're saying My friend said my fingers are to short and stumpy to ever play guitar but you have very similar hands and fingers like I do I'm buying my first electric guitar today bc your hands motivated me 😆

Comment from : Jonathan Roy Caron

Middle aged guy with dredsso glad he's now grown up
Comment from : ruscal a

Hi, whenever I go down the scales it comes out continuous and has a nice flow, but whenever I go back in reverse it sounds discontinuous and not in flow What's causing this? How can I fix this?
Comment from : Rishav Roy

I tuned my guitar properly and played along Im quite intermediate in guitar so I know how to tune ofc and i think your guitar is off tune and its throwing me off
Comment from : Andrea Singz

I love his dreads
Comment from : ShacoWayneGacy

Have watched a BUNCH of beginner vids, this is the ONLY one that talked about; sitting practice position to match standing playing position And so remember kids Practice does NOT make perfect Perfect practice makes perfect
Comment from : John Doe

Rob if I ever go to the UK I will buy your Strat like guitar one of the best guitars for the money
Comment from : wayne brown

Comment from : Chloe ASMR

Comment from : _ Shauzen

When was Chapman guitars formed? I remember voting on shape for the ML1 what seems like ages ago Also, when did you start doing videos?
Comment from : bjdenil

I never play whilst standing Never really thought about it much, either Maybe it's because I'm always alone when I have the guitar out Maybe I'm just that lazy I honestly don't even know what would happen if I stood up while playing a tune I tried singing and playing once Once I'd hate to think of the damage I could cause should the results of my attempt to stand and play be anywhere near as catastrophic as my attempt to sing and play!
Comment from : joe beastyg

I can't even get my fingers in the position around the 7 minute mark

Thanks man iv learned alot
Comment from : Cameron Cole

I’ve had the desire to learn guitar most of my life A couple years ago, my wife bought me a Squire strat, a small digital practice amp and the “game” RockSmith I gave that a go for a few months until I just became increasingly frustrated I’ve since picked it back up a couple months ago and I’m close to that same point of frustration now I’ve spoken with an instructor and believe I’m going to start private lessons very soon I believe it’s the theory and exercises that I’m lacking These are things that RockSmith is not very good at I kick myself for laying the guitar down two years ago I’m sure that had I not, I would actually be able to “play” a decent bit at this point brbrThank you for these videos
Comment from : my87z28

Those dreads are a felony
Comment from : M E

Ha! Thank you Chappers! I've taught in the past and have tried teaching my boys this exact methodology Going to try and see if they'll watch this and pick up what I'm trying to lay down Awesome this popped in my feed Thanks again sir!
Comment from : Brian Locke

I play for some yaers now why iwatch this
Comment from : no one

great videos, but i wish you'd jam the plectrum in your (i don't have to say it do i? you know what rhymes with plectrum and the kids might be reading so) and just call the pick a pick
Comment from : Old Dirty Tattooed Warhorse

Beast bro, perfect A+
Comment from : MIKE G

What was going on with robs dreds thank fuck that phase passed
Comment from : Alfie Palmer

After several years of trying to play guitar I recently realized I am simply not smart enough to play guitar I can't memorize anything, have little concentration, and am tone deaf I tried and tried It continues to amaze me how pro guitar players can memorize all those songs The instructors recognize I am absolutly stupid with the guitar You tube vids did not help I'm in my 40's and am getting rid of my gear I realized that guitar is not for everyone! Perhaps I will have better luck with the kazoo!
Comment from : Art T

What brand is that guitar?
Comment from : AAA AAA

I stan that sweet child o’ mine in there
Comment from : Pink Lilly

How to start? You jumped from fret to cord to writing music in 5 minutes! For someone just learning, this did nothing for me!! I am glad I am almost bald so I can't have crazy hair like this! WOW!!
Comment from : Stanley Poreda

Just wondering what you think about positioning when one has been playing guitar for numerous years but wakes up paralyzed from mid-chest down at 21 years of age I'm having serious trouble finding a way to play in a comfortable position I was previously, before paralysis, used to playing with body of guitar between legs and neck angled in an upward angle like many flamenco players So you don't have to stretch out your arm to reach the fingerboard Sort of like the position you recommend But my legs are like chop sticks and my butt is practically non-existent When I tried to play with the body of the guitar between my legssort of close to my crotch and the fingerboard in a angled upward position my legs slowly move outward or inward, forcing my other leg to move in the same position Being paralyzed from mid-chest down has become a serious impediment to my bringing back my electric guitar playing I've been staying with dreadnaught style acoustic guitar since I first became paralyzed The general thickness and height of a dreadnought helps me to lean forward without losing balance and the low weight helps to allow me to hold the guitar as close as possible so I don't have to stretch my arm out, causing me to loose balance I just picked up my old epiphone les paul a few weeks ago and have been absolutely frustrated to no end since I first decided to pick up my electric after so many years (36 years) Have you had any thoracic level paraplegics ask you about how to return to playing electric guitar with regard to finding a way to find a comfortable and stable position so playing does not become a chore but rather a true pleasure? I'd also like to use a bunch of pedal fx but I'm unable to move my legs since I'm totally paralyzed I've been wondering about how a paralyzed electric guitaristthis sounds like an oxymoron to meanyway, all I've been able to find for using non foot pedal guitar effects is a modeling amp head such as the line 6 Viper 240HC but these effects are digital and require many hours of reading directions and running through the various fx to find the tones one would like to utilize Any advice would be truly appreciated Chappers

Your playing is awful, too high pitched, gives me a headache Get a deeper sound, richer sound You sound like you're screeching and full of noise!
