What's the point of this lesson? You're not teaching the intro....? The strumming? People really have problems moving their hands up and down apparently.

That was great, thank you I really learnt a lot there

The problem I've been struggling to deal with when holding the pick so loose is either having it rotate on me as I strum, or slowly pull out of my fingers. How do you stay loose but stop it from rotating or pulling out?

Weird

As I play and change chords the neck of my guitar moves away to the point my left arm is almost stretched all the way out. why!!! PLEASE HELP. it's lile my right arm is pull the body of the guitar to me and pushed the neck out. I have tried everything and can't seem to stop it!!

Perfect lesson for a friend of mine that I’m teaching how to play via KZfaq because he lives literally, across Texas from me Thank you so much

I like to strum with my fingers but I would love to use the pick to, I just find it really hard strumming up.

Thanks mate

🎸 Your guitar playing is absolutely fantastic! 🌟 Thanks for sharing.

Nicely described and demonstrated. Do you target the root always or sometimes the 3rd and 5th?

Anyone who says that some thing "unlocks" the fretboard, is just full of crap click bait. Do better.

Moving too fast

I’ve gotta quit being so stubborn and learn my damn bends

Wait wait, IU?

great player you are so many thanx

this helps me a lot

new for me great your talking

Thanks for this very helpful video!!

I'm imagining myself now in the bathroom in front of the mirror (the only mirror in my house lol)

Thank you so much!

Great information, thank you. 👍

Great video! The closing your eyes and feeling out how to hold the pick to your preference helped the most

New subscriber, here! You have broken down the most complex part of playing guitar. I thought your explanations of "pick" angle by examining the mechanics. Great job.

Hey bro, great job explaining the theory behind the barre chords. I like to talk with you more, I understand music theory very well but I'm new to guitar. I'm also progressing very well, I don't know if you do online lessons.

Sound ryan

Thank you. I found your videos and started following you. Very helpful.

Great video! Good job!!

I have difficulty getting clear notes using bar chords while finger picking. Strumming sounds ok. It seems that finger picking requires more hand strength.

Very good advise!

Amazing bro, this sounds so good I love it. 🎉🎉❤

This video should def have more likes!

Great stuff. I only started learning how to play the guitar 6 weeks ago & I'm documenting my entire learning journey on here so this was super motivational!

Excellent strumming video. So helpful in identifying basic errors. Thanks Ryan.

great lesson man, a lot of great tips just sub to your channel, jeff Ontario Canada.

Great video. Deserves more views.

finish a thought. begin a new one. progress. or interrupt yourself four or five times and then try to track down all the loose threads. either way, i’ll never know because i can’t take your style. ☮️

what about the people who aren’t watching. what about them, huh?

digging this so much

Bm, my kryptonite 😡

That was so very helpful thank you so much !! Thinking about it this we makes it seem a lot less challenging.

Brilliant. No endless preamble. Straight into stuff I didn’t know but which makes sense. Plus, really helpful hints that will benefit my playing. If only all YT videos were like yours.

Promo sm 👀

Is that the Icelandic flag on the guitar?

Great lesson

It works if you just have you hand palm down, and just turn it up with a relaxed hand, then your thumb and index finger lands more or less "correctly". That is how I learned it, but making a fist works as well

Hammer ons with the pinky definitely help tame the beast 😮😊

I FOUND A SOLUTION THAT WORKED GREAT FOR ME I just want to share it might be helpful, i basically just actively try to maintain the finger that moves with the ring finger so i do hammer-on ( first two fingers on frets , i hammer on with the ring slowly and actively let the pinky where it was , and the same with ring and middle , and the exercice u did in 3:50 i just also actively let the middle touching lightly the B string , then stretch the fingers for 5 minutes it heeeelps a loooot

This is awesome and a area I want to work on

congrats, fake john petrucci
