Hemlok17th August 2007Awesome, I needed this, I only fingerpick at the moment because I can't strum to save my bum.
Good Lesson, What guitar is that may I ask?

It's not an expensive guitar, but it's sound good.
Gabriel Leopardi18th August 2007Nice chords! Good work Jerry!
betschart18th August 2007I like
PacmanProductions18th August 2007that reminds me alot of dave matthew's Crash Into Me, the intro...![]()
Jerry Arcidiacono18th August 2007Uhm... I don't know this song, right now.
I will listen to it.
ahh sounds very nice...i really needed this lesson to improve my acoustic playing! Thanks jerry! ![]()
Eat-Sleep-andJam21st August 2007Yeah Pacman is has a Dave Matthews vibe
Jerry youve done it again ! Im working on this , your other funky groove lessons and some alternate picking stuff
Bravo - John
Eat-Sleep-andJam21st August 2007Well without the backing track I can play it perfectly, you know what that means, Back to the drawing board - Arriverdici, John ![]()
Jerry Arcidiacono20th August 2007Arrivederci a presto (some like see you soon) Eat-Sleep-andJam!! :-)
A very fun lesson indeed!
Hey Jerry, do you think you could do a lesson on using Arpeggios that sound good with this chord progression? Great lesson btw
Jerry Arcidiacono1st September 2007FretDancer69: I schedule this one and I will make it as soon as possible.
This is great! I loved it i will learn to asap! also, you should do a lesson on the techique used in the song Crazy by Barenaked Ladies. it looks... well it looks crazy lol
Jerry Arcidiacono3rd September 2007Jeffrey: I don't know Barenaked Ladies.. I will listen to this tune.
I learn a lot of new songs, teaching here! :|
Jenkinson8th September 2007That sounded execellent.. I think everyone would appreciate more acoustic chord progressions. Simple to pick up and fun to play! Makes for a nice distinction between what should be played on an acoustic and an electric.
jammer9127th October 2007I have a similar yamaha acoustic i just bought few months back (think its the same one it was like $200).
Im not really sure how to use my acoustic properly. I like this lesson a lot and there are some few other good acoustic lessons too (but theyre all finder picking to be played on a nylon string).
Could you come up with more lessons for steel string (using chords and single notes combined)?
Thanks
Jerry Arcidiacono2nd November 2007jammer91: Sure! I will do acoustic lessons, using chords and single notes combined. ![]()
Wolff2nd November 2007Cool stuff
Slash Jr29th December 2007jammer91: all of the nylon lessons can be done on steel, nylons a bit easier for fingerpicking, but that shouldn't stop you.
Babe I'm gonna leave you - led zeppelin
Great lesson Jerry. Could u use more open chords next time?
Slash Jr29th December 2007sorry i was thinking about how many open chords there were, what i meant to say is can u add some singles next time
Jerry Arcidiacono29th December 2007Hey Slash Jr,
thanks for your post.
So, do you mean single notes?

Danilo Capezzuto26th February 2008Fresh progression.
Carlos Carrillo18th March 2008great job and fantastic lesson!!!
thanks
hey it would be nice to have it a little longer so you can have some examples of the strumming even slower...or just have the up down strumming written out...for us not so good players
Jerry Arcidiacono23rd June 2008Hi johsk, maybe this lesson
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/misc-less...ords-strumming/
could help you to understand how strumming patterns work.
Matt233rd August 2008Great lesson Jerry.
Open string chords sound so great.
Sentenced11th October 2008I have a question according to the strumming, i thought its best to have your struming hand going all the time up and down and hitting the strings when needed so you have a steady up and down going. But you seem to break free from this structure at some places, why?
Jerry Arcidiacono12th October 2008Hi Sentenced. Playing quarter notes - I think these are the "places" that you wrote - there's no need to keep the movement for playing sixteenth notes. At least, this works well for me at this speed. But if you want, you can move your hand up and down also for the longest notes, if you feel more comfortable.
Sentenced12th October 2008Ah ok i see your point, thanks.
Jerry Arcidiacono12th October 2008You're welcome ![]()





Jerry explains some rhythms and chords on acoustic guitar, and this lesson will be useful also for beginners. The focus in this lesson is to learn how the same chord shape work over the neck. John Petrucci use this type of chords in "The Silent Man" and "Solitary Shell" of Dream Theater.
