that sounds even harder.

really I just want to learn some chords so I can poorly play songs for people to sing with at parties and in parks and shit. but it's silly because I play left handed so it's not like I'd be able to just pick up any guitar. But also my left hand is useless so I can't imagine being able to like do classical style finger picking with it. I can barely strum the chords lol bass is easy, i only ever needed two fingers of my left hand MAYBE three if I was being fancy.

I think because I started out playing bass finger picking (only played a couple of years) playing with a pick is like .... weird.

Play classical, you don't use a pick!

I mean I don't play bass so I am sure its vastly different. I am mostly joking.

Oh for sure. I don't play because I'm very bad at it and I don't like doing things that I'm bad at, which means I won't ever get good. Which sucks because I'd like to be good at it.

I think because I started out playing bass finger picking (only played a couple of years) playing with a pick is like .... weird. And it sounds TERRIBLE. And I know that all I have to do to get better with picking is practice but uuuuuuuuuuugggggghhhhhh. Why can't I just be good at it from the start???

He sort of address that. I don't know how much you play but a big part is picking stuff that is easy enough for you to realistically learn and then not setting aside huge practice times (just regular ones) so it isn't a slog or feels daunting.

Some good stuff to remember. Also this youtubers style is odd which is nice because many of these sorts of videos are boring. So kudos to them.

also another one that actually does a good job at the video game covers

Reply to Sonic the Hedgehog - Green Hill Zone Classical Guitar Cover by asterism

Ok So I can't tell you how enthusiastic I am about this channel. As a classical guitar player and a gamer I am always looking for classical covers of game music and on youtube that brings out literally the worst classical guitar players. You're lucky to find someone even slightly good doing a video game cover and even those can be sloppy in technique and playing (most don't even hold a classical guitar properly).

This guy though, he fucking plays, he knows his shit.

Anyway its a relatively new channels so there is only a handful of videos but its worth keeping an eye on imo.

I am kind of in love with the teenage mutant ninja turtles theme

sorry it took so long to reply, the UG website is alright: but I torrented the 50000 guitar pro files, once... I use those occasionally for tool, mastadon, some of gojira's songs.
