Dialogue: 0,0:00:05.00,0:00:07.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hi, how are you doing? Justin Sandercoe here.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.43,0:00:10.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Welcome to Folk Fingerstyle Basic Patterns 1.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.97,0:00:15.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, I'm hoping you've seen the previous lesson where I explained what fingers go on what strings,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.14,0:00:17.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'cause I'm not going to take us through that again now.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.39,0:00:21.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And also, it's very important that you've got the TAB up in front of you.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.70,0:00:25.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, if you've stumbled upon this on YouTube, get over to the website (justinguitar.com),
Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.69,0:00:31.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,find this lesson using the lesson index, and make sure that you've got this Pattern 1 in front of you,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.81,0:00:36.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I'm going to be referring to it quite a lot as we start going through the close-ups and stuff,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.02,0:00:38.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it really is lots easier if you can see the Pattern.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.81,0:00:50.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, let's get to a close-up, and get stuck in straight away.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.05,0:00:52.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, this is the first Pattern we're going to learn.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.25,0:00:55.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You might have noticed that we're using our thumb on two different strings
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.66,0:01:00.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we're just using the 1st and 2nd fingers for this Pattern 1.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.43,0:01:04.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, the first thing, and the most important thing to start off with when you're doing this sort of fingerstyle,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.46,0:01:07.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is getting used to the idea of the thumb moving strings.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.78,0:01:15.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, what I'd recommend you start off with is just playing the thumb on the 5th string, and then the 4th string.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.97,0:01:20.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Remember, this is just a regular C chord, in case you missed that bit.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.22,0:01:28.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we should just be playing the 5th string, and the 4th string, with the thumb.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.02,0:01:34.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because sometimes it helps if you rest the 1st and 2nd fingers on their designated strings
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.93,0:01:39.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and get used to the idea of that thumb moving over between the two strings.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.33,0:01:40.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Remember, this is the count.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.64,0:01:41.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's 1...
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.66,0:01:43.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,2...
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.03,0:01:44.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,3...
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.63,0:01:46.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,4...
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.10,0:01:47.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because the thumb is always playing on the beat...
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.94,0:01:49.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,2...
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.58,0:01:51.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,3...
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.18,0:01:53.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,4...
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.06,0:01:57.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, have a look at the actual Pattern, the TAB of it, and the notation,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.41,0:02:01.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you'll see that there are four notes with the little "down stems", there,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.15,0:02:05.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they correlate in the TAB to the notes that are on the 3rd fret and the 2nd fret,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.26,0:02:07.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so they're the notes on the beat.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.80,0:02:12.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, what we're going to start off with is adding in some notes now to our Pattern.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.06,0:02:15.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The first note we're adding in is the 2nd string,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.09,0:02:19.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and hopefully, you'll remember that the 2nd finger looks after the 2nd string,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.26,0:02:23.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and if you look at the TAB, you'll see that comes with the same as beat 1,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.43,0:02:26.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so if we're just going to add that note now, and we're going to keep our bass,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.58,0:02:30.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we're going to add in that one note on beat 1, so we'd have:
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.50,0:02:32.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1...
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.06,0:02:33.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,2...
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.06,0:02:34.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,3...
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.23,0:02:35.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,4...
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.58,0:02:36.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1...
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.81,0:02:38.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,2...
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.06,0:02:39.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,3...
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.28,0:02:40.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,4...
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.40,0:02:44.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I'd recommend that you practice that a few times, nice and slowly.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.73,0:02:50.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Even slower than this if you need to.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.14,0:02:54.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And make sure that you can do that comfortably before we add in any other notes.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.64,0:02:58.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, the next note we're going to add in is on the G string,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.34,0:03:01.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the G string is played by the 1st finger,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.34,0:03:05.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that note comes in between the 2nd beat and the 3rd beat,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.18,0:03:07.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so it would be the 'and' after 2.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.38,0:03:10.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If we add that in now with our first note as well, we'd have:
Dialogue: 0,0:03:10.81,0:03:17.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1... 2 'and' 3... 4...
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.98,0:03:24.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1... 2 'and' 3... 4... It's really important to get that count.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.89,0:03:31.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1... 2 'and' 3... 4...
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.80,0:03:38.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1... 2 'and' 3... 4...
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.09,0:03:40.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, there's just one more note for the Pattern so let's add that in,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.98,0:03:44.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that is the 2nd finger playing the 2nd string,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.38,0:03:46.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the 1st fret, of course, because it's the C chord,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.73,0:03:52.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and in the C chord on the 2nd string there's a note, a finger in the 1st fret,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.54,0:03:58.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we're going to add that in after the 3, so that's coming on the 'and' after 3.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.39,0:04:00.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, the Pattern now looks like:
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.09,0:04:05.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1... 2 'and' 3 'and' 4...
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.96,0:04:11.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1... 2 'and' 3 'and' 4...
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.45,0:04:17.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1... 2 'and' 3 'and' 4...
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.15,0:04:22.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, what's really important at this stage is that you do it slowly enough to get it right and in time,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.10,0:04:24.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and if that means that you're doing it at like this speed:
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.80,0:04:33.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1... 2 'and' 3 'and' 4...
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.26,0:04:37.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's fine. Do it as slow or as fast as you need to.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.18,0:04:42.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, I would suspect after a little bit of practice that you should be okay doing it at this kind of speed, maybe:
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.29,0:04:50.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1... 2 'and' 3 'and' 4...
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.25,0:04:59.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you probably don't want to go much faster than that for a little while until your fingers really know what is going on.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.31,0:05:06.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because it needs to get automated. With these Patterns, they have to become instinctive.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:06.64,0:05:12.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You should be able to talk, or watch television, or whatever, while you're doing these Patterns.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.74,0:05:24.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But that'll take practice, you just have to do 'em over and over again.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.74,0:05:28.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, after you feel really comfortable with it, you might like to start speeding it up,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.81,0:05:35.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but don't try and speed up too early. Once you've got it, and you're feeling comfortable with it...
Dialogue: 0,0:05:35.24,0:05:38.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you know, here, this sort of thing...
Dialogue: 0,0:05:38.14,0:05:41.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just try speeding it up a little bit.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.65,0:05:43.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you want to, you can put it with a metronome,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.41,0:05:54.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it's also fine just practicing these things without a metronome.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:54.56,0:05:58.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay, let's move on to Pattern 2, now, which is very similar.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.07,0:06:01.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We still have the thumb moving on the beat:
Dialogue: 0,0:06:01.24,0:06:04.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1... 2... 3... 4...
Dialogue: 0,0:06:04.85,0:06:10.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but you're now going to see that the first note in the melody department is played on beat 2.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:10.86,0:06:14.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You'll see there, if you look at the music again (it's really important to see the music)
Dialogue: 0,0:06:14.40,0:06:19.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the first note, the 3 (this is the 3rd fret of the 5th string)
Dialogue: 0,0:06:19.49,0:06:23.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is played with the thumb on the 5th string by itself,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:23.81,0:06:28.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then on beat 2, our thumb has moved over to the 4th string
Dialogue: 0,0:06:28.06,0:06:33.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we're using our 2nd finger to play the 2nd string.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:33.82,0:06:35.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, we're starting with thumb...
Dialogue: 0,0:06:35.65,0:06:39.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thumb and 2nd finger together...
Dialogue: 0,0:06:39.09,0:06:44.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Just like before, you want to just add in one note at a time to the Patterns, when you're starting.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:44.54,0:06:49.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1... 2... 3... 4...
Dialogue: 0,0:06:49.09,0:06:53.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1... 2... 3... 4...
Dialogue: 0,0:06:53.10,0:06:54.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then we might add in the next:
Dialogue: 0,0:06:54.94,0:06:58.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1... 2... 3 'and' 4...
Dialogue: 0,0:06:58.26,0:07:02.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1... 2... 3 'and' 4...
Dialogue: 0,0:07:02.81,0:07:07.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1... 2... 3 'and' 4...
Dialogue: 0,0:07:07.46,0:07:11.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1... 2... 3 'and' 4...
Dialogue: 0,0:07:11.70,0:07:16.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Just again, really slowly, making sure that you get it right, and that it's in time:
Dialogue: 0,0:07:16.65,0:07:20.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1... 2... 3 'and' 4...
Dialogue: 0,0:07:20.56,0:07:26.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's really important that the thumb is nice and even and that the other notes just fit in.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:26.25,0:07:29.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,2... 3 'and' 4...
Dialogue: 0,0:07:29.40,0:07:34.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1... 2... 3 'and' 4...
Dialogue: 0,0:07:34.41,0:07:42.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And again, you practice it slowly until you can do it at a kind of reasonable speed.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:42.15,0:07:46.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, what I'd recommend actually, once you can do those two Patterns, before we go any further,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:46.17,0:07:50.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is trying to link the Patterns after each other, because these two are very, very commonly played
Dialogue: 0,0:07:50.79,0:07:56.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,one after the other. So, we'd end up having Pattern 1...
Dialogue: 0,0:07:56.24,0:07:59.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Pattern 2...
Dialogue: 0,0:07:59.06,0:08:01.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Pattern 1...
Dialogue: 0,0:08:01.62,0:08:04.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Pattern 2...
Dialogue: 0,0:08:04.56,0:08:08.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Pattern 1... 2...
Dialogue: 0,0:08:08.21,0:08:15.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Pattern 1... 2...
Dialogue: 0,0:08:15.57,0:08:20.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Very, very common to link those two things together, so I'd have a try at that as well.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:20.79,0:08:28.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay, we're now onto Pattern number 3, which we're changing to a G chord with the fretting hand, just a regular old G.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:28.69,0:08:32.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, what's really important here to realise is that the Patterns are the same,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:32.54,0:08:38.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the fingers and the order of the movements, but the thumb is now playing the bass note
Dialogue: 0,0:08:38.49,0:08:45.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that needs to move over to the 6th string, so to the note G, and it'll still be jumping over to the 4th string.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:45.90,0:08:51.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, instead of like on the C chord, it was going 5th string, 4th string, over and over again,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:51.40,0:08:57.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when we change to the G chord, it's going 6th string, 4th string.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:57.02,0:09:02.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, only a little change, but it's something that I would highly recommend you doing exactly what I'm doing now,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:02.19,0:09:08.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and practicing just moving between the 6th string and the 4th string and kind of get used to that.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:08.34,0:09:10.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, I'm hoping that you won't have too much difficulty,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:10.74,0:09:15.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,once your thumb's used to doing that, to play the same Patterns, because we've got here
Dialogue: 0,0:09:15.40,0:09:18.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thumb and 2nd finger together:
Dialogue: 0,0:09:18.08,0:09:23.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thumb 1 Thumb 2 Thumb... together.

Dialogue: 0,0:09:26.22,0:09:30.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's exactly the same as that first Pattern that we looked at with the C chord,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:30.40,0:09:36.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but the bass note, the note that's on beats 1 and 3, has moved over to the 6th string.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:36.91,0:09:51.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All of the rest is the same.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:51.42,0:10:01.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Again, really slowly, make sure that you get it right. When you feel confident, start to speed it up.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:01.02,0:10:05.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay, now Pattern 4 is exactly the same as Pattern 2, but now we're on the G chord.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:05.99,0:10:11.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, this one is, starts off with the bass note by itself, thumb and 2nd finger together,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:11.18,0:10:15.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Bass note, 1st finger, and thumb.

Dialogue: 0,0:10:31.17,0:10:38.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, again, we would try and link Patterns 3 and 4, so we'd have this:

Dialogue: 0,0:10:42.16,0:10:45.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Pattern 3...

Dialogue: 0,0:11:01.99,0:11:04.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, once you feel confident with that, what I would recommend
Dialogue: 0,0:11:04.49,0:11:13.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is starting to mix up the patterns a little bit now, so we would go from Pattern 1, which is a C chord:
Dialogue: 0,0:11:13.62,0:11:19.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to Pattern 3, which is the same thing, but with a G chord:
Dialogue: 0,0:11:19.59,0:11:26.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and try to get the change without having a pause in there.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:26.88,0:11:31.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, you go 1... 2 'and' 3 'and' 4...

Dialogue: 0,0:11:54.02,0:12:14.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, of course, maybe you might play 1 and 2 on the C chord, and then 3 and 4 on the G chord.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:14.49,0:12:18.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Don't be surprised if it takes quite a lot of practice to get these Patterns automated.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:18.86,0:12:22.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Don't expect to just be able to learn what they are and do it, and change between the different
Dialogue: 0,0:12:22.60,0:12:25.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,chords and the different Patterns right away. It doesn't work like that.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:25.54,0:12:29.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It didn't work like that way for me, and I've seen hundreds of students over the years really struggle
Dialogue: 0,0:12:29.33,0:12:35.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with this stuff. You have to just do it slowly and accurately. Take one Pattern, practice it
Dialogue: 0,0:12:35.08,0:12:38.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,over and over again until you're confident with it, then learn another one.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:38.70,0:12:42.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I know I'm going through a few Patterns in this one video, but I don't want to have
Dialogue: 0,0:12:42.11,0:12:46.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to spend ages and ages just on one Pattern and end up having loads and loads of very long
Dialogue: 0,0:12:46.46,0:12:50.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and probably quite boring videos. So, it's up to you now to stop and do the practice,
Dialogue: 0,0:12:50.74,0:12:55.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,get that Pattern sorted out properly and be able to do it. Now, there's one
Dialogue: 0,0:12:55.37,0:12:59.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really important thing that I need to explain to you, which is the idea of the different chords,
Dialogue: 0,0:12:59.21,0:13:03.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because so far we've just looked at a C chord and a G chord, but really, what it's about
Dialogue: 0,0:13:03.08,0:13:07.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is whether a chord has a 5th-string root, or a 6th-string root.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:07.60,0:13:14.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, the common chords with a 5th-string root, we'd have C of course...
Dialogue: 0,0:13:14.10,0:13:16.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,maybe B7...
Dialogue: 0,0:13:16.62,0:13:19.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A minor...
Dialogue: 0,0:13:19.46,0:13:23.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's kind of the main chords. G with a B base, if you want to get all fancy...
Dialogue: 0,0:13:23.86,0:13:28.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you could use that as well. With a 6th-string root, you've G chord...
Dialogue: 0,0:13:28.14,0:13:30.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,E minor...
Dialogue: 0,0:13:30.38,0:13:35.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,F, I guess, if you're using your barre chords, or any of your, you know, E-shape barre chords.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:35.95,0:13:41.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You've also got, now, a little bit of a, kind of a "funny business" going on here, which is
Dialogue: 0,0:13:41.78,0:13:45.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the D chord. What do you do with a D chord? Hang on, that's got a 4th-string root, and it kind of muddles
Dialogue: 0,0:13:45.38,0:13:49.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all of our Patterns up. Now, the trick with the D chord, is, well there's a couple
Dialogue: 0,0:13:49.65,0:13:54.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of different ways of dealing with D. Most commonly done, when you've got a D chord,
Dialogue: 0,0:13:54.49,0:13:58.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is you move all of your fingers down a string, so the thumb would then take care
Dialogue: 0,0:13:58.44,0:14:03.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the 4th string and the 3rd string, and your 1st finger will end up playing
Dialogue: 0,0:14:03.18,0:14:07.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the 2nd string, and your 3rd* finger will take the thinnest string, and your 3rd finger just doesn't
Dialogue: 0,0:14:07.90,0:14:14.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,get any action at all. So, that's the most common way for a D chord, so you just
Dialogue: 0,0:14:14.11,0:14:18.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,move all of your fingers down a string and play the same Pattern like we played with the C chord
Dialogue: 0,0:14:18.66,0:14:21.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but just everything toward the ground one string.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:21.14,0:14:24.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The other approach, which is quite an interesting one, I think it sounds pretty cool, is to play
Dialogue: 0,0:14:24.58,0:14:29.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a D with an F# base, something we looked at in the Intermediate course, and treat it as
Dialogue: 0,0:14:29.50,0:14:36.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a 6th-string root. That's a very, very common way around it. There's some other tricks
Dialogue: 0,0:14:36.74,0:14:40.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as well, but we'll probably get onto those later. So, for now, just be aware of the different
Dialogue: 0,0:14:40.44,0:14:45.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,chords: you should know, hopefully, all of your open chords, where the root note is.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:45.22,0:14:48.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you don't, then that's something you really need to check out. So, if you're playing the C chord,
Dialogue: 0,0:14:48.56,0:14:52.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"What string is the note C on?", right, on the thickest couple of strings.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:52.79,0:14:56.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's really important that you understand that, you know? That's kind of basic guitar skills.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:56.87,0:15:00.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, make sure that you know the Patterns that fit with each of the different chords.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:00.94,0:15:04.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Don't just practice C and G.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:04.65,0:15:12.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A nice progression might be to practice C, G, A minor, F.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:12.04,0:15:15.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Very, very common chord sequence.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:15.83,0:15:27.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Which would obviously be 5th-string root, 6th-string root, 5th-string root, 6th-string root.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:27.99,0:15:33.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay, there's ten billion songs that use that one, right? So, just with this really simple little bit of info,
Dialogue: 0,0:15:33.82,0:15:37.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,these couple of Patterns that we've looked at so far, there's a lot of mileage in it.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:37.46,0:15:41.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, don't feel like you've got to rush too much. Don't, you know, I can't stress that enough. When you try
Dialogue: 0,0:15:41.56,0:15:46.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and rush through these things, you won't get them. You'll end up kind of not playing the Pattern
Dialogue: 0,0:15:46.99,0:15:51.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,exactly right, or playing the wrong strings half the time, and it's really, it's better to have
Dialogue: 0,0:15:51.55,0:15:54.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,these kind of, because we're going to get more complicated, right, but you want to get these
Dialogue: 0,0:15:54.92,0:15:59.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,basic Patterns down. Really, I call it a "default setting", you know, the fingers automatically
Dialogue: 0,0:15:59.44,0:16:03.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,go to those strings, and you've got these fingerstyle Patterns that you can just pull out straight
Dialogue: 0,0:16:03.38,0:16:07.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,away, and they happen naturally, and it only happens through lots and lots
Dialogue: 0,0:16:07.46,0:16:08.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and lots and lots
Dialogue: 0,0:16:08.98,0:16:10.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of practice.
Dialogue: 0,0:16:10.24,0:16:16.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, when you feel confident with these ones and you can do them properly and easily, and they feel natural,
Dialogue: 0,0:16:16.80,0:16:19.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then join me for the next lesson, when we're going to break out
Dialogue: 0,0:16:19.34,0:16:23.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the 3rd finger, and make the Patterns just a little bit more complicated.
Dialogue: 0,0:16:23.29,0:16:27.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,See you for that lesson very soon, take care of yourselves, bye bye.
