I HATED them… But now everything I do is based off of them

Get my exclusive FREE series: Acoustic Guitar Jumpstart ►http://bit.ly/2E43Pjj When I started playing the guitar, I despised triads. As the building blocks of music, I knew they were important -- but they were boring! It took me many years to finally realize that there were some incredibly practical and fun ways they could be used to make me a significantly more creative guitar player. In this lesson, I’m going to show you how to use triads to play complimentary guitar parts. To illustrate this concept with something you know, I’ll be using the Bachman-Turner Overdrive classic “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet”. This song features two distinct guitar parts designed to create width and depth in the song. The guitars are essentially playing the same thing: chords. However, while one guitar plays the open chords, the other is playing simple triads further up the neck. Try this out with other songs you already know and see how it works for you. Triads are an under-appreciated tool that many guitarists ignore. Add it to your tool belt and you’ll notice your playing will get significantly more interesting overnight!

Polish Your Guitar Chops - Live Q&A

This $3000 Guitar SUCKS!!

Get started on the guitar with personal coaching from Nate Savage: http://bit.ly/2JbDyD7 Have you ever picked up an expensive guitar at your local music store and noticed that it felt terrible? No matter how reputable your hometown guitar store is, this might be a consistent experience for you. But before you get caught up with a negative view on pricier models, we need to go over the reasons why your first date with your dream guitar might not be such an amazing experience. Old Strings It can take a long time for a guitar to get from an overseas factory to your hands. On top of that, the guitar may have been played by many other sweaty-handed individuals. This almost always leads to dead strings on many of the guitars hanging on the wall. Old and crusty strings will make any great guitar feel bad. Poor Neck Adjustment Fun fact: guitar necks are made of wood, and wood shrinks and swells based on how much moisture it contains. This means humidity has a huge effect on how the neck of the guitar feels. This is particularly noticeable in the relief. Guitar necks have a slight bow that can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the truss rod. Because it’s so hard to control the humidity in a guitar store, many guitars aren’t given the correct amount of relief which results in an uncomfortable playing experience. Sharp Fret-Ends This is another problem stemming from humidity. When a guitar’s fretboard lacks moisture, it shrinks. When the wood shrinks, it leaves the sharp metal ends of the frets exposed. This isn’t only annoying, it’s downright painful to deal with. Bad Set-Up Lastly, a poor set-up can make any guitar feel awful. Since set-up preference varies wildly from player to player, it becomes impossible for both a manufacturer and the store’s guitar tech to set it up the way you like it. It’s important to keep all of these factors in mind when trying out any guitar at your local music store. Things like tone, neck profile, and overall build quality are variables that remain consistent no matter how poor the guitar set-up is, so pay attention to those things first and foremost. So what do you think? Are expensive guitars given a bad rap? Do you think the price difference between a cheap guitar and an expensive guitar is justified?

“Rocketman” - Elton John Guitar Lesson

So in this guitar lesson, we’re going to learn how to play “Rocketman” on the guitar! “Rocketman” isn’t really considered a “guitar” song since Elton John was a pianist. But the great thing about this is that it gives us a little bit of freedom to interpret the guitar part for ourselves. The song itself is fairly simple and straightforward. You’ll use some basic strumming patterns and chords you probably already know. If you’re struggling with playing this song, be sure to check out some of our other lessons on strumming technique, changing chords smoothly, and understanding chord progressions.

Economy vs. Alternate Picking

Get started on the guitar with personal coaching from Nate Savage: http://bit.ly/2JbDyD7 Alternate picking is probably the first picking technique you’ll learn on the guitar. It’s an absolutely essential skill to develop when you’re first learning to pick on the guitar. But as you get better and start playing faster, economy picking becomes a hugely beneficial augmentation of your alternate picking technique. It’s important to understand the main difference between these two closely related techniques. Alternate picking has you constantly alternating downstrokes and upstrokes no matter how awkward the movements become. Economy picking has you sometimes including multiple downstrokes or upstrokes in a row to minimize the movements your picking hand needs to make. Many guitar teachers suggest using whichever of these two techniques works best for the piece you’re playing. But there are some teachers that swear by the alternate picking method and will tell you to avoid economy picking. In the end, it’s totally up to you and what works best for you. Try adding some economy picking to your playing and see if it makes certain things you play easier.

"Blackbird" - The Beatles Guitar Lesson

Get started on the guitar with personal coaching from Nate Savage: http://bit.ly/2JbDyD7 “Blackbird” by The Beatles is one of the most well-known examples of great fingerstyle guitar playing. But while it sounds relatively simple to play, it’s deceptively challenging. To successfully play this tune, you’ll need some well-developed fingerpicking chops as well as solid chording technique. Paul McCartney was the guitar player for this iconic part, and he used a slightly unorthodox fingerpicking technique where he would flick the strings with his index finger. It might take some time to nail down this new way of playing fingerstyle guitar, but it’s important to properly execute the right-hand pattern in this song. "Blackbird" is a good example of a tune that might take some time to learn all the way through. So take your time and if you run into problems be sure to slow down and take it section by section.

3 Essential Spanish Guitar Exercises

Get my brand new FREE series: Acoustic Guitar Jumpstart ►http://bit.ly/2E43Pjj In this guitar lesson, Nate Savage takes us on a deep dive into Spanish guitar playing. The classical guitar (with nylon strings) has been a part of Spanish music for a long time and is highly recommended if you want to get the sound right. However, feel free to learn this lesson’s exercises on any type of guitar. The techniques used for this style of playing are quite different from the standard contemporary techniques you may use to play guitar. In Spanish guitar playing, you use your fingernails to pluck the strings. This means you’ll need to grow out your nails or use fake nails to execute these techniques properly. Each of these three Spanish guitar exercises is progressive. Starting at the most basic level, it will get more challenging as you get comfortable. Try just one exercise until you get the hang of it. Take it as slow as you need to, in order to get everything sounding clean before you speed it up. If you enjoy this style of guitar playing, be sure to check out artists like Carlos Montoya, Jorge Marell, and Rodrigo y Gabriela.

Gospelize Your Guitar Playing - Gospel Guitar Lesson

Get my brand new FREE series: Acoustic Guitar Jumpstart ►http://bit.ly/2E43Pjj When searching for gospel guitar lessons, you aren’t going to find much. There just isn’t a lot of clear or concise information on that particular style of guitar playing. In this lesson, Nate Savage takes some time to demystify a classic gospel chord progression so you can use it in your own playing. We’ll be going through the classic song “How Great Is Our God” for the entirety of this lesson. We’ll also be sticking to the key of C major to keep the theory simple. The progression we’ll be transforming is C major, A minor, F major, G major, and a return to C major. This is a classic chord progression used in gospel and contemporary worship music. Don’t feel like you need to incorporate every element from this guitar lesson into your playing. Follow along with the video, and try adding a few of these new and interesting flavors to spice things up and sound just a little more “gospel-y”.
