Rev Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 Wrist action was what I was missing! Bought it into play, and now D is easy-ish. Loving it so far, even though it's far harder than it looks, thanks for all the tips and advice. I reckon another 10 years of strumming chords and I'll be ready to transition between them!

Try learning scales at first as well as chords, so then you'll know where your fingers are supposed to go. I didn't, and it took me a long time to get out of bad habits.

The ends of your fingers are going to hurt like hell but don't stop. They will will callus up after a few days of practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 School boy error today. Turned the wrong tuning nut attempting to tune it, and snapped a string. Then somehow managed to kybosh the replacement string anorl. More blood spilt, and little closer to guitar genius! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Hope you're keeping it up. Is it acoustic or electric you're learning on? But yes, just a bit, every day. I should get back into playing whilst on lockdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a hell of a lot easier with YouTube than it was then. Doesn't mean I'm any better mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A and E seem easier, but I can't see that I'll ever be able able to change chord swiftly. Any ideas which of the many YouTube videos are the best for a beginner? Try playing scales as well as chords, because with enough practice your fingers will automatically know where they're supposed to go when you change chords. I regret I didn't practice scales when I first started, my fingers were all over the place and I still haven't got out of some of my bad habits. Not aware of any YouTube videos but there must be lots of tabulature on the net showing how to play scales properly. It makes it much easier later on when you're trying to figure out how to play a Bmaj9#11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FindernRam Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Here's a serious question for all you aficionados: Someone like Mark Knopfler will use maybe 8 or nine different electric guitars during a gig. I get why acoustics sound different (Yamaha 12 string- wonderful noise) but an electric, they are all just a tight string over a pick up and some circuitry, aren't they?

Mostly due to tuning difference between songs. You'll find some artists will play songs in a similar tuning in a block and then swap. However there can be many many nuances between electric guitars. String gauges, pickups, different tones based on woods. Many more factors than you'd imagine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
