Q29:

Recently, I read in a book about how we can add and subtract notes from a chord to create a melody. For example the C chord. Releasing and hammering on the 2nd fret 3rd string changes the chord sound and creates a kind of melody. This seem especially true when we do it with the higher strings. My question is, when we release the string it is no longer a C chord, so why is that ok to do that? And can we, for example, take our pinky and hit notes outside the chord to create a melody? If so, when is it ok and when is it not ok?

Q31:

I have been taking guitar classes quite a while from now and have systematically learnt all scales chords, bar chords and power chords but for learning new songs I have to depend on my instructor and he says that after a while I will develop an ear for songs and will be able to convert them into chords automatically but it has already been six months since i have been learning guitar and I am unable to play a song on guitar when I hear one what shall I do and same is the case in tuning the guitar my instructor says I will develop an ear for that too... please advise me.

Q32:

I really want to get an absolute pitch (almost absolute pitch). How can I train my ears? I have learned piano before and my theory is rather good. But I still can't identify notes and I take a lot of time to listen to a song on radio and play it out on guitar. Please help. Thank you!

Q33:

How do I learn to play different chords that are really hard to play?

Q34:

I wanted to ask you...if I can truly learn to play like you say. you see i have no musical background at all. i also am over 40 yrs and while I believe you can learn at any age. I think it is a little harder the older you get. Also, I am right handed and I injured my right hand at age twenty. I have all my fingers. but I have limited use and feeling. I can pic the guitar with a pick, but i don't know if i can do it without looking. will this hinder me?

Q38:

What is the best strumming style to use when playing slow songs (50 beats per minute or less), like for example, some religious songs sang in church? I don't seem to have a problem playing songs which go 60 bpm or over, but on slower songs, I seem to have a problem getting a sense of any rhythm at all. Would using triplets help me to keep in step with the beat for very slow songs? Any other styles?

Q39:

Well after a year I am about to start with the guitar lessons, my problem is that I am wondering if I may have short fingers on my left hand, I seem to not be able to stop other fingers going onto other strings that they should not be on when trying some chords, cant seem to be able to get them to come strait down on the strings..is it possible they are short or will it be ok in the end?

Q40:

My main question is I know chords and I can strum but I'm having problems understanding how to put cords and notes together to play a song you can recognize. I need to see both hands at the same time. I've read every thing I can get my hands on but I still do not understand. Thank You for any help you can give me. Maybe I'm just to old to be trying to play the guitar!! I like your program and I am just about ready to buy it but I wanted to wait to see if I could even play the guitar first.

Q43:

If dedicated enough, is it a possibility to become a really impressive guitar player within a year? I've known someone who has had their guitar for 20 years and they can barely play fluently. I'm a very good and fast learner - I think, if I put my mind to it can become a good player of the guitar but I would appreciate your honesty in telling me if it is realistic of me to think that I could become a REALLY GOOD, and i mean 'really' good guitar player within a year. I'm not asking for your encouragement or a confidence boost, I'm asking for your experience in teaching people, has anybody progressed beyond boundaries within a short amount of time?

Q44:

Watching you play it appears you don't use much pressure at all when pressing the string(s) onto the fretboard to get a clean sound. Is this so?
