1
00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:07,770
Strains, picks and capers, OK, so the strains that I recommend using are a fairly light gauge set
2
00:00:07,770 --> 00:00:08,400
of strings.
3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:15,590
If you use a heavy set of strings, you know, you can get a bigger sound, more volume.
4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,580
But generally speaking, it makes the guitar more difficult to play.
5
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,980
So I recommend a fairly large set of strings.
6
00:00:22,980 --> 00:00:29,900
If you're playing a steel string guitar instead of elevons to 49 roughly would be a good starting place.
7
00:00:29,910 --> 00:00:34,590
I think the strings I like to use are Ernie Ball paradigm strings.
8
00:00:34,750 --> 00:00:36,280
They lost a long time.
9
00:00:36,750 --> 00:00:41,550
There are some strings, especially, you know, the the cheaper strings, which, you know, would
10
00:00:41,550 --> 00:00:43,290
go dead after a few days.
11
00:00:43,470 --> 00:00:50,310
And, you know, practically speaking, I think having a set that lasts a long time is a is a is a good
12
00:00:50,310 --> 00:00:50,860
way to go.
13
00:00:51,210 --> 00:00:57,240
So that would be my recommendation with regard to strings with picks, I use a thumb pick and in this
14
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,050
course we're going to be approaching fingerstyle.
15
00:01:01,290 --> 00:01:06,930
You know, using a thumb pick like this, you can, of course, use a thumbnail if if you prefer.
16
00:01:06,930 --> 00:01:09,510
And some people, you know, do like to play that way.
17
00:01:09,780 --> 00:01:16,530
But I think playing with a thump, it gives you a really nice articulation of the bass notes.
18
00:01:16,770 --> 00:01:22,750
And it's a it's a way of playing that that I really encourage you to explore.
19
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,540
I use a Dunlop medium thumb, which is a little plastic thumping.
20
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,200
If you have a bigger thumb, you might try Dunlop large and if you have a smaller thumb, you might
21
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,920
try the Dunlop's small, although they're really quite small.
22
00:01:33,930 --> 00:01:38,970
I think the medium is a is a good choice for most people and these are very inexpensive.
23
00:01:38,970 --> 00:01:44,160
They come in packs of five and in my experience I've been able to find them all over the world.
24
00:01:44,490 --> 00:01:47,640
So pretty easy to come across.
25
00:01:47,820 --> 00:01:55,260
I use this Shub Kaper and the purpose of a caper is to transpose.
26
00:01:56,350 --> 00:02:00,440
The guitar so tight, the knot which is down here, which would be.
27
00:02:01,910 --> 00:02:07,480
If you put the kaper up here, it would be e f f sharp g.
28
00:02:08,540 --> 00:02:16,790
So we've just transposed the guitar up three semitones so Capo's can be really handy if we're playing
29
00:02:16,790 --> 00:02:24,040
a song and for example, if we're trying to sing it and we want to raise the the key of the song, Kaper
30
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,040
is a great way to do that.
31
00:02:25,370 --> 00:02:31,130
They can also make your guitar easier to play, because if you keep up with the fifth fret, for example,
32
00:02:32,810 --> 00:02:38,200
you will find that the strings are just easier to play that closer to the fingerboard.
33
00:02:38,510 --> 00:02:45,140
So if you're just starting out, you know, practicing the little chord progressions, we're going to
34
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:50,150
go over here with a KEPA can be a really good practice.
35
00:02:50,390 --> 00:02:54,400
And and I think a guitar really sounds beautiful with it.
36
00:02:54,410 --> 00:02:55,090
With a kaper.
37
00:02:55,340 --> 00:02:59,930
I'll just demonstrate it quickly without a bow yet this kind of sound.
38
00:03:06,940 --> 00:03:12,850
And we had a paper to the forth for it and we get this going to sound.
39
00:03:26,030 --> 00:03:30,110
Tricky thing about putting a cap in, sometimes the guitar goes out of tune, so you always want to.
40
00:03:31,340 --> 00:03:37,370
We check in tune with your electronic tuner, so let's move on and talk about finger nails next.
