      @rebeccaabraham8652, 6/8 has a kind of swing feel to it when accenting beats 1 and 4, but yes, the quavers are straight not swung. Hope this video helps :)

    Keep drilling these triads into my mind using all the different inversions on all the strings. I do know them but I don’t use them enough. These videos keep me in practice and I find myself using them more.

    • @acousticguitarlessons

  • @pants_schmants
    @pants_schmants 9 днів тому

    I wonder: If i assign a color to each note, instead of just a letter name... you know color coding? In office work, it can really help with organization and finding things quickly. "Excel spreadsheets? They go in the green file. Word docs go in blue. " etc. What do you think? I can almost picture the fretboard now like that...

    • @acousticguitarlessons
      @acousticguitarlessons 9 днів тому

      @pants_schmants, not so sure about that. Just naming the notes regularly will get you familiar with them in time. The colour-coded thing becomes another layer to get through to know the note names whoch adds time to working them out etc. Perhaps I am not understanding you properly, but it seems like an unnecessary step. Just name the notes :)

    As stubborn as i am that is hard to do. One church I went to the pastor's daughter had no real sense of timing. So many times she would come in too early transitioning from a verse to the chorus or visa versa. She knew she was having problems. One time I was asked to play acoustic at a wedding with her vocal accompaniment. The song was Marry Me by Train. We went over it and over it to get her to learn the timing. As it turned out it went well.

    • @acousticguitarlessons

    When harmonising scales as a sequence of simple triads, the 'dim' chord is not 'half diminished' - it should be referred to simply as diminished. Only when we extend the chords to 7ths should we then refer to it as half diminished.

    • @acousticguitarlessons
      @acousticguitarlessons 11 днів тому

      @@squashfan9526 yes, I know. It’s a bad habit. I was taught to harmonise a scale in 7th chords first before triads many years ago, so I keep calling the 7 chord half diminished even though I know it’s diminished when there are only 3 voices.

    I've been working on your superb lesson for 2 weeks. As a pro trainer myself I congratulate you on the structure and clarity, how you build, demo and take small steps with practical practice advice. Question: the 3 CAGED shapes you use for the C triad are (I think!) the A, E and D. Is there are G shape too between A and E? Best regards Neil

    Hi I have short fingers. Well really everything is short as I am only 5 FT. And I always struggled with finger stretches at the top of the fret board where the spacing are a bit wider. I never heared anybody else give the tip about the thumb behind the middle finger instead of the index finger they just say make sure your thumb is straight. I even experimented with angling my thumb sideways to try and get more reach but that always ended in frustration as well. I am going to try this technique and hopefully it may alleviate my issues. Thank you. BTW your guitar looks cool what model is it?👌
