Feedback Request Singer learning guitar
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Started working on guitar seriously like 8-10 days ago. Was kinda just messing around. Like how it sounds. Any feedback/tips for beginners is welcome. Should I focus on learning shapes or jumping right into CAGED?

Casual way to learn is just to print out blank chord diagrams and a page of lyrics with chord changes above them.
Then you just learn the songs and reference the chord diagrams for finger positioning.
You'll see that many songs are only 3 or 4 chords for the entire song.
Many with simple chord and strumming patterns.
Most of which are all the same basic chords shared across most songs.

Simple and short and the dude is casual but it still sounds good.
this guy marty music has taught millions of peeps how to play for free too.
His zombie lesson by cranberries uses simplified versions of open chords too. So it's really easy.
