RGS Live #74 | Q&A – When Do You No Longer Need Guitar Lessons?

We didn’t wast any time as we jumped into one of the pre-submitted questions about my new Beginner Spanish Guitar course that is about to launch. It’s coming soon, officially launching on September 19th! I’m excited to share it with you and can’t wait to see you join me in my latest and new favorite course!

Besides the course launch we also talked about how to strum without getting pain in your wrist, when do you not need a guitar teacher anymore, how to play power chords, and much more!

I had a great time, and as usual, you all had some really great questions! If you couldn’t make the latest RGS Live session, you will get another chance to meet us next month on Thursday October 5th 12 pm PDT/ 3 pm EDT. Add this link to your calendar to save the date!

In this video:

00:01:25 - When are you going to start the Spanish guitar course?

00:02:58 - Is there a time when doing on-line courses or from a live instructor are no longer necessary and one only needs to practice what has been learned/taught over the years?

00:06:19 - I'm just starting to get the beginning of a feel for how to strum, ie without getting caught along the way in amongst the strings. (I'm not sure why it has been this hard, except that watching your videos, I'd say I must have a stiff wrist...and maybe ditto my elbow/forearm.) Any suggestions? Or is the advice simply: get loose!

00:10:10 - I've been working on the Beginner's Journey for about 10 months so far (it's terrific!). I'm a short woman and my local teacher suggested a parlor guitar, which has been great - a perfect size for me. My question is about holding the guitar - I have found it more natural to rest it on my left leg instead of my right. Is this okay? Or should I try to get into the habit of holding it in the typical way on the right leg?

00:13:56 - I’m doing the barre chord course currently. Just wondering if the first and second strings are to be muted when playing power chords or is that something that varies?

00:17:20 - Have been considering purchasing your course, I'm still a beginner a am currently focused on learning music theory. Does your course include some music theory?

00:21:47 - Do we need a Spanish guitar to take the Spanish guitar course, or a classical guitar, what do you suggest?

00:26:11 - I'm 67 and on the beginners journey, my main issue is getting my fingers to change chords fast enough. do you have any tips apart from lots of practice?

00:31:46 - When I strum with a pick I tend to fan out my little ring and fourth finger, should I focus on keeping those fingers tucked?

00:33:04 - I found practicing chords in specific keys to be great practice tools, eventually all the chords will incorporate themselves into your practice.

00:37:21 - I can't get my thumb behind the fretboard, how do you solve that?
