Hi Alan, I was recently watching your tutorial for supersonic and I noticed some of the strums were yellow and Iβd be really grateful if you could tell me what they mean.
Many thanks.
Hi Ronan β Itβs called a palm mute; you have to place your hand across all the strings on a down strum a fraction of a second before the pick hits. Itβs all about timing and finding the best position for your hand to make contact. It took me a few days of practice (on and off in bursts of about 10 minutes 3 or 4 times a day) but It was worth it. I hope this helps. Best of luck. Alan π
Your guitar tutorial is fun, easy to follow, practical and easy to follow. I have began to gradually used to your fabulous tutorial lessons. I have copied down and saved the guitar chords for recall purposes. I am slowly progressing from beyond playing and struming the dual Frank Sinatra and his daugther Nancy Sinatra classic “Something Stupid” to others and more complex and faster tunes like Sugar Sugar, Space Oddity, California Dreaming, Do Wah Diddy Do, Dizzy etc.
Hi, Alan! Thank you for your lessons, the best I’ve seen. It opened my eyes to the wide music world (not only modern). Your lessons inspire me to continue improve my skills of playing guitar and not to give up. Thank you very much. Best wishes, Crystal.
I was looking so long for good guitar tutorials and yours are by far the best!
You are a great teacher and I love the way you do the videos.
You also selected lots of my favorite songs π
