If Todd can play a barre G, he can play a barre F. And if he can do that he’s got most of China Cat Sunflower by the Dead. Just sayin…

Wow, that lady is awesome. I'm surprised she's not better known in the guitar world.

This woman should not be permitted to teach guitar or make teaching videos.
It might be a great human service if she were also prevented from playing a guitar.

Apparently she's quite a joke, but I am too unskilled to get the joke. What is so bad about her video. Please elaborate. Well a few really obvious things. - She doesn't seem to know which are the "bottom" strings.
- She thinks the 3rd fret on the B string is a B note.
- Neither xx0003 nor 320000 are useful chords for strumming.
- She totally ignores or doesn't know about 3x0003 and 3x0033 which used to be common among amateur country players. Those require only the thumb and index finger.
Aside from (or in addition to) not seeming to understand the guitar at even a beginner level she seems to have no idea what a beginning student needs to know or what foundation might allow them to advance in their journey. Maybe she just thinks her video will attract more viewers lining up to criticize her this way. The YouTube algorithms reward her for views, not for successful students. |

Ok, so it only had 5 G chords instead of 7, I'm on a budget. I mean, Todd's a good guy and all, but I'm not breaking the bank.

Hey, stop picking on Todd. He knows way more chords than just the G. There may not be names for some of them, but when we play I watch his fingers (in case I forget where we are) and they go all over those strings in places I've never seen.

Rob, if an analogy helps, asking Dub for his reaction to this little 'guitar for beginners' video is like asking Oppenheimer to critique some guy's Youtube short on "How to construct a pipe bomb in five minutes for $25"... "This fool's little "bang bang" is not a real bomb. There is so much more that can be done, so much more to be understood. The physics behind a bomb that make a bomb a bomb... the knowledge that allows the growth from a little bang bang to one hell of a big boom.... it's, it's, just not there! It is completely lacking! This video is a travesty! Shameful!" |
