My pleasure! It probably needs a set up, in where they adjust the action (string height) to alleviate the buzzing. I’d recommend taking it to a mom & pop shop over a place like Guitar Center. They should be able to help you out 🙂
Welcome Sue! Glad you saw Learning Paths, that’s the best place to start for figuring out where to start and what to work on with our lessons. Be sure to watch the second video on that page, as it will give you a rundown of how everything on the site works.
Every Friday I release a new lesson. On the right hand of the screen (sidebar), you’ll see “Recent Lessons”, which will list the five newest lessons that I’ve posted. It looks like this:
And last but not least, you asked a very good question: How do you add to the music? How do you not just strum simple chord progressions… But learn how to harmonize, create melodies, and solo. This is what our Concept Lessons set out to teach you. In a nutshell, how to increase your musicianship.
Check out EP002, that’s a great lesson that does all three things listed above. And to dive deeper, check out our Course on Music Theory and Jamming.
Welcome Kanni! Great question, that song is an older one, so it was categorized early on and is def harder than level 1.
Have you seen Learning Paths? I give a rundown of the beg/int/adv player and what each level should have under their belt before advancing. That will give you an idea of how I categorize songs to levels based on technique and skill requirements 🙂
Btw, Bondi is cool – Katie over at One Music School uses them a lot.
Welcome tradar and thanks for the kind words! Check out this page for ideas on where to start as a beginner with our lessons. And if you need any help, don’t hesitate to ask!
Hey Suzie, I just set up your account with premium for the next month 🙂 Thanks for participating and I look forward to watching your performance!
Even though they are the same interval, a unison, the note will have a different color if played as an open vs fretted. Plus, it keeps the consistency of the picking pattern constant.
isialval, looks like it is working now! Excellent performance, great feel in your playing. If you’ve just started practicing, as in just started… then keen it up! Very well done 🙂
Have you seen this? Corey is a fantastic player and it looks like someone transcribed it here 🙂
Hi Carol, Our Music Theory Course provides a great foundation on the basics of music theory. To dive further, check out our 200 page theory ebook: Fretboard Evolution.
Sue, that was awesome! I thought your performance was great 🙂 In regards to your question on muting the ringing Open C, we can use the palm of our right hand to do just that. Check out this lesson, which talks about this concept in-depth.
For slides, make sure that you are applying pressure to the note throughout the entire duration of the slide. “Lifting up” pressure is usually what causes them to fade out prematurely. One last tip, it sounds like you have a strong plucking attack. Try to lighten it up a little bit, and it should produce a sweeter and softer tone.
