Jokes on you, I always sound bad.
😂😂😂 Your comment made me lol, but I hope you don't actually feel that way. 🤗 The only way we get better is through practice! 💪🎸🎶 You can do it!!! 💕
@@for3v3rfaithful Thank You, truly. You've always been a great inspiration, 🤠
I'll try hard to get some practice in this weekend, and keep it up.
Thank you, again - for all your lessons, they really do help alot.
This is great! When checking intonation, luthiers have consistently told me that you should capo the 1st fret and then check the intonation at the 13th fret. I don't really know why, but that seems to be universally advised. ;)
Hey ellen, please make a video on how to sing with a guitar and match your voice with a guitar
Good advice!! I have a couple of guitars that are fine open and at the 12th fret but out of tune at the 1st 2nd and third frets. The guitar tech filed down the nut a bit and now we're lickin chicken. Looks easy but I would have probably messed it up. 😎
I've been watching a few videos on how to fix things like that myself but I'm scared to try it and mess up any of my acoustics! 😂 Glad you got yours fixed though!
Thank you so much for this vid, and unfortunately I’m one of those people with small hands, so thanks for the help 🎸🎶
Thank you very much as a beginner this was really helpful
I’m so glad these tips were helpful for you! 🎸🎶 Thanks for watching! 🤗
An easy way I found if your capo is a little to tight or something just like put it on the upper fret of the fret your on
Ahhh I wondered why mine was messing up my acoustic! Too tight.
Trying to do Sound of Silence with my capo sounds awful lol.
I feel you!! This used to drive me NUTS and I would tune over and over again, not understanding it was my capo that was the problem. 😂🙃
@@for3v3rfaithful I'll try it on my other acoustic. It's got a slimmer neck radius so it may be good with that one!
Thanks for the lesson 😊
.....and now I now what intonation means! thanks for the FAQ :)
So glad I could clarify that for you! 😉 Thanks for watching! 🎸🎶
yeah just need to buy a regulated capo if the regular one is too tight and fucks up your tuning
My capo works perfectly with my old Spanish guitar, but on my western it dulls the lowest string. I´m assuming that it's just loose, cuz when I press down on the capo it sounds like it should. Which is super annoying since I only have the one capo.
Please, do melting (kali uchis) guitar tutorial
Nicee
Hi Ellen, the pick-up on the acoustic guitar to connect to the amp is there a screw in pick up instead of destroying the guitar.
There are definitely ways to add a pickup into an acoustic guitar so you can amplify the sound without destroying the guitar. 👍 The easiest would probably be the kind that fit under your strings in your sound hole. 🤗
@@for3v3rfaithful I don’t want that on the sound hole I want it near the body of the guitar. How would I do that without destroying the guitar
How do I know what to play in a band and when playing with multiple guitarists
Because sometimes, with the songs I know how to play, when in a band, it sometimes sounds like the same chords don't fit on the songs as I play with another guitarists or organists
A lot of this comes with experience playing with others. You have to make sure you're all in the same key, have the same tempo, agree on the same chord progressions, change together on the right counts... My best advice would be to ask the other players questions when you guys are rehearsing and clear up anything that's confusing you. If you have something wrong, write it down so you don't forget, or if you think the song should be played a certain/different way, speak up so all of you can work it out together. 👍
I need help. When I put my capo on 1st fret and it buzzes when I play an Em chord or a d chord or an a. But when I put it everywhere else it plays just fine. How do I fix this?
It sounds like one of your fret wires might be the culprit. 🤔 Sometimes if one is taller than the others, it can cause buzzing like that. It could also be the bow of your neck. I would try plucking each string with the capo on fret 1 and try to see if any strings are buzzing against a fret wire. 👍
My guitar sound really bad with the capo idk why and it also sound really weird
hey Ellen, if my guitar body is chipped does it cause buzzing?
Hmm I don't think a chipped guitar body would normally cause buzzing, but I suppose it depends where the chipping is... 🤔 In my experience, the buzzing sounds come from your strings/frets so the body shouldn't affect it much. 🤷🏻♀️
@@for3v3rfaithful oh alright thanks Ellen
