Music Theory For Beginners: Applied To The Guitar
If you are new to the guitar and are also trying to figure out the fundamentals of music, then you've come to the right place. This is a music primer that emphasizes the elements of music in a simple way and brings all that information to the guitar. By design, I did not cover all that could be covered - it's a primer, after all. However, I approached it from the point of view of what I would have liked to have been taught when I was first starting out both with music in general and on guitar in particular. I hope you find it helpful.

    Stumbled on your 'Walking man' video while watching CZcams on TV. Found so much in it I had to keep stopping and trying things on my guitar. Subscribed to your channel and had to jump on laptop to say thank you for the generous sharing of your knowledge. The thing that interested me the most is trying a couple of your chord voicings and immediately taking them to new song ideas. In fact it took me a while to recognise the 'Walking man' song. Would love to hear a full performance of it or does that raise copywrite issues? Definitely looking forward to exploring your channel.

    • @barryvillaverde8631
      @barryvillaverde8631 Před měsícem

      Quite an encouraging comment...thanks for taking the time to share it. I do appreciate it. I'll put a "Walking Man" performance on my "requests" list. Right now, it's seventh on the list so it may take me some time before I get it done. However, as with all my requests, I notify the one who made the request via' comments such as this as to when I will post the tutorial or performance. If you'll hang in there, all things being equal, I will get to it. Thanks, again, for your kind comment.

  • @LloydCohen-js8xw

    Hey Barry , nice demonstrations. Could you do the whole of Dust in the Wind ; also how are you with Gordon Lightfoot picking patterns- for instance - Sit Down Young Stranger - ?

    • @barryvillaverde8631
      @barryvillaverde8631 Před měsícem

      Thank you for watching - much appreciated. Okay, I'll put "Dust In The WInd" on the list of future tutorials. Honestly, it is now the fifth on a list of requests so it will be a little bit before I can get to it...but I will. Thanks for the request. As far as Gordon Lightfoot, I'd be happy to put that down as a request (#6 on the list). I don't know the tune but I'm willing to figure it out and teach it. Thanks for that request, too.
