@shmu88 – that was awesome! Great feel overall 🙂 Keep working on the ending, but I’d also suggest working on getting the outer string (1 and 4) melody notes to pop more in the split stroke section.
You may wanna recap Chris’s lesson on that from our Strumming Course.
@rucha11 – Try not to protrude your forearm as much. Take a loot mine vs. yours:
@rucha11 – well done! Sounds great 🙂 One tip, try not to pull the strings down when you fret notes. For example, if you pause your video at 12 seconds, you’ll see the C strings is pulled down quite a bit. This causes the note to sound sharp. Try to keep the strings parallel at all times.
For the ending tap harmonic, you need to do a quick tap. Check out the video I left above to see this demonstrated/explained. But, I’d recommend starting out by learning to tap single note harmonics instead of chords.
You can learn to do single note tapped harmonics in Module 3, Unit 2 of our Harmonics Course.
@cncamacho – well done! I’d sub out that tapped harmonic-chord for the same single note harmonic that you play earlier in the tune. But, overall sounds awesome!!
@qiuyan – Here’s my feedback for you and the lesson I referenced.
@elixir123 – Wow! That was awesome, Elixir! 🙂@rucha11 – form looks spot on as to what we recommend. Can you post a video playing? I’ll be better able to see if something else is happening.
Hi Grace, here is a video to help you and here is the first and second lesson I recommend reviewing.
You should be able to do it after watching this one lesson. The majority of the other lessons in that course focus on a different type of harmonic 🙂
Hi Grace, we actually just had this question come up in this topic yesterday.
I wouldn’t worry about the A chord tap at this point, instead I’d focus on learning natural harmonics (your 2nd question). That, and single note tapping, is taught in our Harmonics Course.
@lisotta – Congrats, Lisa! I’m so happy for you. I sent you an email 🙂
For that technique, you’re tapping 12 frets (an octave) above the A chord: 2100
Which is done by diagonally angling the index finger to hit the second metal fret of (starting on string 4 to 1):
14, 13, 12, 12
I’d recommend tackling single note taps before multi-string. Jump into the Harmonics Course. There’s a section that covers tapping single notes 🙂
Hi Audrey, please watch this video and I’d highly encourage you to jump into our Beginner’s Course. 🙂
Hi Sarah, start here and let me know if you have any questions 🙂
