2:55 The “Boxer” fingerpicking pattern with a fun chord progression to practice.
10:50 What type of strum would you use on an old-school 12 bar blues like Robert Johnson's Crossroads?
12:49 TABS never seem to replicate the ENTIRE song in order...there seems to be a lack of direction on where and when you start over for verse 2 or when to go onto the bridge and/or go back to the verse. How can one recognize the pattern for the entire song?
18:17 I am really frustrated about my strumming. I have seen videos on rhythm, using the right pic, and relaxing while strumming. Then when I do a simple down-up strum it doesn't sound right. What should I do to get a handle on this?
21:39 I want a professional setup for my guitar. Should the strings be the same height at the 1st and at the 14th fret?
24:08 My issue is with my 2nd finger on the C chord. It mutes/buzzes because it’s not positioned close to the fret.
26:12 Could you give an example of a nice chord progression using exotic chords?.
31:04 I am going to my first jam session in a few weeks. It seems to be a laid-back group that welcomes all skill levels. I'm not sure what to expect. Will they help with the key of the song or do I just need to figure that out? Do I just join in and strum quietly? What is your experience with these types of jam sessions?"
34:20 I'm experiencing pain in the base of my left thumb (fretting hand) from clamping down too hard when fretting a chord. I cannot seem to figure out how to fret a chord without putting so much stress on my thumb. It's either the thumb pain or buzzing notes.
39:31 In that “Boxer” picking pattern what do you do for the D chord (what’s the pattern)?
40:31 Is it possible to lighten up on pressing the frets to make chords over the years?
