Etude For the late beginner to intermediate guitar player.

[Music] hi everyone jacob friends here this is my first official tutorial and i don't claim to be a classical guitarist um mostly self-taught i did a take a few lessons just to see if i was on the right track on on classical lessons i should say so i'd like to show you this little etude this little piece again i don't know who made it uh but it's quite easy fingering wise and if you're a intermediate guitarist you will have no trouble doing it so let's do that and we will use the thumb and index middle and ring finger as our fingers the strings of course is this is the first string uh the easter high e the second string is the b string the third string is the g string and the fourth string is the d string those are the only strings we're going to be using for this so what we start off with is we put our index finger second second string first finger the index finger second string on the sixth fret and that would make a f on the b string would make an f note right so that's f then we put our middle finger or the second finger of the left hand on the seventh fret and that g that on that g string it creates a d it should be a d yeah that's a d so so you have force that's it okay that's what your pattern is one and two and three and so this is a three-quarter rhythm one and two and three and one and two and three and that is your uh you do that three times so we'll go through that one and two and three and one and two and three and then the third time one and two and three and now is where you switch you go one two three on the strings one two three one two three twice so it's [Music] two three that is the entire pattern everything stays the same from that almost the the entire time um so again your index finger on the sixth fret second string and your middle finger left hand is the g string on the seventh fret and we're gonna go one and two and three and that's the first second time around one and two and three and one and two and three and [Music] now you add your ring finger on the left hand on the d string which is a b flat and it is this is your so you do the same pattern one and two and three and one and two and three and one and two and three and backwards keep that fingering then you add your pinky on your left left hand fourth finger and you add it on the b string now you really could take you could really take your index finger off if you want but i would leave it there because it's really no reason to be there on on this part of the pattern but i think uh if you keep your index finger on the b string as well it'll just help for when you go to the next pattern so then this repeats again one and two and three and one and two and three and one and two and three and backwards then you go down and do like an f major like you would do over here but on the fifth fret which becomes an a [Music] that's twice it doesn't go three times and then you go to your original position [Music] like that or you could do whatever you want make up your own thing so i decided to um use this as an exercise to get my fingers in shape to play faster and i started out at a certain rhythm and i over the past week or 10 days i increased it i was only able to go to approximately not comfortably now i'm just below 170 able to 170. so if you practice you should get stronger now i practice two ways i practice the regular way i also practice doing it louder and softer [Music] and you could slow down the rhythm speed it up but we're going to practice now with the metronome so right now i believe my metronome is on 60. we're going to go together on a metronome of 60. i suggest you use a metronome that's what i've been using it also helps keep your rhythm and your fingering more solidly again this is my opinion and i wouldn't i wouldn't i would bet on it that any good teacher would tell you the same thing so let's try together one two three one two and one and two and three and one and two and three and one and two and three and backwards one and two and three and add the pinky it's hard to go too slow but it's a good practice to practice twice only this time [Music] okay let's speed this up okay now we're at 70. one two three one two and [Music] okay that's 70. we're at 90 now one two three one two and one and two and three and one and two and three and [Music] do [Music] okay that's sounding a lot better now we're gonna jump to 110. one two three one two and [Music] here i made a little mistake in the rhythm that because my nails probably caught the string uh i haven't figured that out how long the nails should be should not but i try to get fl at least on this guitar some flesh with some nail now let's go to a we are 110 let's go to 130 and i think that's the sweet spot of this song one two three one two and [Music] okay let's try 140 now and we'll go in increments of 10. this is where it gets a little harder now one two three one two and [Music] do [Music] okay let's do now 150. now it's getting tougher one two three one two and [Music] okay now we're going to try 155. this is where i get a little started getting sometimes i get it right sometimes they don't 160 sometimes and i'm working on getting it clean cleanly of course i can get sloppy i might be sloppy let's see one two three one two and [Music] a little sloppy over there that's where i really have to work on getting this uh this cleanly let's go a little faster anyway give it a try one two three one two and [Music] it's really tough so i'm gonna stop over there because i'm not so clean on this okay this ends the tutorial and i hope you enjoyed it
