    Hi Lamar, the tuning is D G D G B D. The sound this makes will speak to you in ways you never thought could happen.

    I want to post my comments regarding the lesson. Overall, the videos and learning videos were well suited for beginners. I am a different kind of learner. I do not read music. I can tune my guitar to match the sound of the song (mostly 60’s, 70’s and 80’s music) and able to play along. I learned to sing in a choir, both church and school Glee…Read more

    • I love the personal touch of your post. You have a gift that others would love to develop, I know I would. Your example of working on your music and sports at the same time reminds me of informal learning. Some call it a form of multitasking or learning through distractions. I do this when I’m practicing new chords while watching TV. I form the…Read more

    The basic parts to my guitar.

    Thanks for watching.

    • Nice basic description; I can show this to my elementary school students very quickly rather than telling them repeatedly what the parts are…..lol, they can watch you.

    Enjoy!

    Hi Lamar, I had the same kind of questions. Just talked to BizArtMusic and they suggested that I post a video saying how much some of the resources have helped me. I know that a couple of the video resources were helpful. Hope this helped.

    I just had a Google Hangout with BizArt. Great conversation and information gathering from them. Enjoyed our talk!

    Regarding Lesson 1.1.
    I own three guitars. One classical and two acoustics. The classical is a standard nylon where I had the strings replaced over two years ago from Good guys off of Kapahulu. The acoustics are older where the one Fender model was given to me in exchange for work I did to help a former sailor out of a jam back in 1984 and the…Read more

    • Wow! Sounds like you have a nice collection of Acoustic guitars. Your blank must be beautiful and I like how you describe the sound. Can’t wait to see and hear them in your upcoming lesson assignment videos. Thanks for the nice description of your guitars! 🙂
