Thank you, Amy, for taking the time and watching my videos 
.
My guitar is a Harley Benton D-120CE - quite a cheap but nice beginner instrument. And so beautiful

I have been playing the guitar since I was 16. Sometime during my 20s i have lost interest and concentrated on other stuff. Around my 30s I decided to buy myself a new classic guitar and just play again.
Unfortunately i never played the guitar with a certain plan. That’s why I only played after tabs not really having a basic knowledge. I already decided to start up from 0 and learn the basics. I’d like to take the oppurtunity to ask for some feedback because I am certain that there are a few issues with my poisture or finger positioning here.
This video is a while back and I have improved a tiny bit

Welcome back to the wonderful world of guitar, Erdi. You are well on your way in playing this song, keep working at it and sure you’ll soon iron out the odd moments that are not quite to the general good standard you displayed.
Follow JustinGuitar programme, garde by grade and you’ll do well.
From a tips perspective I’d reflect on your right hand position. @adi_mrok, please post your picture (note to self, take a copy for next time 
). The angle of your hand is such that your index finger may get in the way of your thumb. And I think you could be plucking the bass notes with a little more energy.
Otherwise, keep up the good practice, keep up the progressing!

As @DavidP says you are well on your way to playing this song. Working your way through the grades from ground zero will iron out any issues and help build the right foundations. If you haven’t already started one a learning log is a good way to lay down a plan.

I come and I deliver 
well done Erdi this is definitely above beginner level so feel free to share in the main AVOYP area in the future 
definitely second what David said about finger placement or your picking hand, if you curl up those fingers you will limit the amount of picking accidental strings and your thumb won’t be in your way (or other way around), although I must say you played it pretty clean to me!

Thank you! since I started playing on a e-guitar and changed to classic guitar, i struggled with the sitting positioning. Therefore my right hand seems to be in a weird position. Thank you for pointing this out!

It’s taken me ages before I shared some audio with the world, but here it is. My version of All the Small Things by Blink 182, based on this Grade 3 song video.
The backing track covers the drums, bass and vocals. I did the guitar parts. The mixing of the second guitar is a bit rough, but overall I’m quite happy with the result.

I have to repeat what Trond said, you waited too long, much too long. That sounded great! Love the tones of the guitars, that rocks!

Hello and welcome to our community Erdi
Congratulations on your first AVOYP posting too. That was really well played and good enough to be in the main section of the AVOYP. I’m looking forward to what else you have to share.

Thank you very much! That makes me so happy to hear. Playing by myself without any feedback feels a bit empty sometimes.

Reached module 6 of grade one and learned the G chord this evening, so thought I’d give singing and playing a go for the first time. It’s incredibly hard, I don’t know how people manage it!

That’s really good progress Steve. Your strumming was nice and smooth and you kept your arm moving all the time. Well done on singing too. As you said it’s not an easy thing to do but it does get easier. As you progress further your guitar playing will become automated and then singing and playing at the same time becomes a lot easier. Almost like changing gears when driving in that you will do it without thinking about it. Keep up the good work!
