Is the trick of bending strings is using thin strings. I am inclined to use heavy strings for the volume they give and less chance of breaking them but they are not great for bending. I play an non acoustic guitar, semi acoustic electric guitar and now I have a large electric full size acoustic 12 string guitar, which I am still trying to master. I know that the average guitarist would say that I am being a bit ambitious about using a 12 string guitar but I love the sound it gives. I play for pleasure only. 🤔

Hi there, glad to meet you all. I am a very mature person, hence I can't handle barre chords now. I'm ok with open chords, I like playing the melody of a song in single strings included to the chords. But when I play the melody further up the board the sound is very thin. Can anyone help to use the Triad's as chords instead of barre chords. I know there are videos on Youtube on Triads but they are not all that clear. 🤔

Practicing hand hold on c its going pretty ok I have managed too figure out the G so just need some few more before i practice the play

Hi thanks for accepting me to the group I definitely have some stories about my past experiences with my guitars and hopefully some helpful tips for everyone rock on and here are some pics of my fist kit guitar

Or is it the beginning of something? Depending on when you're looking at this could be a determining factor... Like... If you're just learning the C.A.G.E.D. system - then yes. This is the end of it. D and E.... I could even call my understanding of it -DEGAC in my case, lol! Completely backwards. I've been so stuck on these "shapes" and the way they connect, that it's got me excited. I feel like every time I get the chance to sit with my guitar, it's the first thing I want to play. I just want to wander through this line a "billion" times. 😅 It doesn't really get me anywhere, but I am certain that it helps me understand where I am on the fret board better, every time. I get the root note of whichever key I'm in. I get to move across the fret board And I get to talk a lot lol 🤣 JK I get more comfortable with my instrument 🎸 I hope that this video can help you experience something similar. I hope that you share your excitement for learning with me here on this post. Glad to have you with us! Before you get started - find your tuner and tune up or head on over to Intermediateguitar.com/tools to tune your guitar and get to it! We'll catch you in the comments!
