Thank you, Shulamit…I gave it a try and really like it! It is also helping me get more practice with changing chords on time.

Hello!

I was working on the setting sun chord changes and am improving…slowly… but my strumming absolutely stinks (in general) LOL! In the Learn section you mention placing a link for a strumming lesson/practice in the text below the video but there is no link. Would you please point me in the right direction for strumming improvements?

Thank you!

Ria

I was just working on “Bass Note Fun” when one of my strings popped. Would you please recommend strings for an Acoustic Nylon String Flamenco Guitar? I’ll add a picture just in case it matters which one popped. I hate that I can’t play until I get a new one!

Wow! Thank you so much! I’m just starting in the “beginner’s quick start” section and was trying to figure out the “I can see” tab document. I can play along with the video…I’m just having a hard time playing it cold without the video mostly because I don’t know what the repeat things mean. I know it has something to do with brackets…

Hello — I am trying to practice using the tab documents and playing along using PIP… but I don’t understand the repeat symbols on the tab sheets. How do I know which parts to repeat, when to repeat them, and how many times to repeat each part? I am sorry, I’ve been trying to pay close attention, but this is all completely new to me. If I…

Hello! I have just started your course and am working on playing “with the band” on the C and G chords. I am getting the hang of switching chords ok, but I keep including that 4th string when I strum instead of just the 3. I’m trying hard not to look! Also, is there a way to loop the “play video” so I can keep practicing without having to stop…

Hi! I’m Ria…from Tx but have lived/worked in Japan for the past 22 years. I’ve never played guitar before but I received a flamenco guitar in mid February as a late Christmas present…so now I HAVE to learn how to play it. I started with YouTube stuff and found Thomas Michaud there. Just joined this course site today and am super excited to start!
