Part #1 Posture, left & right hand technique, pick holding – Guitar Lessons for Beginners Acoustic
Go to yourguitarsage.com to find out how to get charts to 100s of songs!!! This guitar lesson vid shows you the very basics of posture, left and right hand technique, how to hold the pick etc. Check out yourguitarsage.com for info on the online instructional book about charts, chords, strumming and the techniques that I use here in my videos.. For more guitar lessons, see my other free tutorials. For original and cover music by me, Erich, go to www.myspace.com . Since I’m so busy making new video tutuorial lessons all the time and teaching guitar, I probably won’t have time to answer individual questions regarding guitar. Other videos cover beginner, advanced and intermediate levels. I teach rock, blues, country and just about any other style on electric or acoustic. If you can’t find your answer from the resources at the website above, keep digging into my vids, and I’m sure you will find your answer. Keep practicing!!!

@TheNuclearCowboy Thanks!
@wackoboy48 You should be able to play the basic stuff (not too concerned about harsh/lighter tones) if you just use your right thumb (if you’re right handed) in place of the pick. I would suggest getting a pick at a local music store anyhow- you won’t pay more than 50 cents for a basic one.
yourguitarsage or anybody else, please answer my question. Barely got my guitar, forgot to buy my pick.. Maybe, I’ll go get one tomorrow, but do you need a pick to play just as shown on the video? With that nice, clear, and high tunes. Or I can still tune it just like that with my fingers. Just asking.
i cross my right leg so my guitar doesn’t run away is that cool i find in comfortable
i am left handed but i play right guitar i heard its not a problem how you start is it true ??
@MetallicA1399 dudde i had a big prob with that .thought it would never work haha.well its been almost a year and ive caught up to the 3rd year guitarist around me hahaah.it just takes alot!!! of practice=)
looks like the guy form rise against
this vid help me alot thks
i’m gettin my guitar 2morrow & i just thought to browse for some vids. i found urs, not the first one, but the first interesting one. Thanks, man
. i know nothing about guitars but want to learn so from which video do i start with plz reply asap
@MetallicA1399 It’s like it’s been said before. It’s all practice. Take the time to sit and figure out where your fingers need to go between chords. It’s going to take time, just keep practicing and it’ll get easier and easier. Did I mention it would take time?
Thanks for your tut. I am getting my first guitar tomorrow! Your vid is awesome! =D

Does this work for 12 year olds too?
is it just me or did bob say hi
Thanks so much for these videos + tutorials! You are awesome! I just bought an acoustic guitar and Im so excited about learning. Too bad you dont give lessons in NY!
wow. thank you. i’m gettin my guitar 2morrow & i just thought to browse for some vids. i found urs, not the first one, but the first interesting one. Thanks, man
. you really incouraged me. you probably don’t know, but by making videos to total strangers, You have just made a great difference, and i feel it right now, right inside me.
Some nice basic stuff for beginners
The left hand stuff from around 8mins on your video can be helped by using a Space Trainer teaching aid from Guitar Gizmo.
BTW, I agree about Dunlop Tortex pics – the best!
thanks…this video really help me a lot…i just got my guitar yesterday and i was like what should i do with it…luckily i found this video which is very useful for me…^^
oooh…thank you i got some techniques…
Dont feel bad, every great guitarist started where you are, and with alot of repition and knowing the chords really, really well you will pick it up soon!
Jim Dunlop are the best.. def
thats what i thought but all i did was repeat over and over and find a comftorble way for me to move my fingers to a different chord..so i just repeated until i got it right.
@MetallicA1399 dont worry… keep playing some basic chords and just practice switching from one to the other… When you’ve been playing for a couple months.. you’ll switch chords so fast you wont even think about it
major mute ation
i liked that ..
i just got my guitar like 4 days ago and I TOTALLY dunt know anything xD ..
u have to post a lesson about swtiching chords .
bcuz if i want to swtich from a chord to another ,, it take me likee ,, YEARS -.-
