Play your first song on the guitar in ONE HOUR: ► https://ift.tt/3gi95TM Ayla's favorite music products: ►https://bit.ly/3a3ilae 0:00 - Intro Ayla takes on Rob Scallon's Song In An Hour Challenge! But to simulate being a beginner, she plays the guitar left-handed! 0:53 - Accepting the challenge Rob scheduled a gig, but the guitarist didn't show. So it's up to Ayla to learn the song and play the show! 2:21 - Holding the guitar There's a bunch of different ways to hold the guitar, so make you hold the guitar in a way that feels relaxed for you and doesn’t hinder you from playing. 3:29 - Holding the pick Holding the pick is also subjective but what works for most people is by placing your thumb on one side and two fingers on the other at an angle. 6:57 - Strumming the guitar Strumming the pick parallel to the strings requires more effort. So try strumming with the pick at a bit of an angle! 9:54 - Guitar tabs Guitar tab is the guitar shorthand and you'll learn how to communicate with tab. 12:11 - The first guitar chord Next, Ayla moves on to the easiest and "greatest" guitar chord, the G chord. 14:45 - Thumb placement If you’re unable to reach a string with your finger or your hand feels tense, try adjusting the placement of your thumb. 17:22 - Practicing for the show Fingers are hurting now...but Ayla will learn the second chord to the song in this challenge. 18:35 - Switching fingers Adding another finger and lifting it on and off is a good way to switch between these two chords. 19:32 - Practicing the chords in time Before she plays the show, Ayla practices the two chords in time with the backing track. 23:40 - Playing the show Time for Ayla to finally jam with Rob Scallon and the rest of the band!
