Hello, I have already introduced myself and shown what little stuff I have. I’ve picked up the guitar just before the pandemic started and I’ve been farting around with it in my basement. I’ve never been much brave enough to take it out LOL so I want to learn some songs on here for the campfire stuff I can share and be brave enough to get out of the basement I did this little introductory video to kind of touch base and I will post some progress videos. Today I was learning Feel Like Making Love But Bad Company on the app as well as Dust in the Wind those are some fun things to practice but I have a long way to go I may post some videos but I have to figure out how to record the video while I’m on the phone doing the app I don’t even know if that’s possible but here’s my introductory video:
Great stuff James, welcome to the community. I like your fingering of the A chord, I’ve changed to that a few years back after playing it the way Justin teaches it on the beginners course. I still play it Justin’s way on a couple of songs as it suits nearby chords. Look forward to hearing more from you, looks like you are making great progress.
Interesting comment about the A chord. I learned Justin’s fingering, but I find my self using it less over time, depending on the chord changes involved. I struggle to get my pointer, index and ring finger to make a clean sound, so use either a one finger mini-bar or index, ring and pinky.
I’m a huge fan of Justin’s fingering. It made all the difference having that anchor finger going between A D and E on my first song. As time went by and other chords were involved for me it made less sense, but specifically for me. Others shouldn’t take that as meaning anything for them.
