Welcome to acoustic guitar For Beginners with Rich Maloof! Time to dust off your guitar and start strumming. You won’t be bogged down in this course by tedious exercises or music theory. Instead, we get straight to the mechanics of chords and strums so that you can pick up a piece of sheet music (or find some online) and start playing songs that you know and love.
As you click from lesson to lesson, check out the other elements in the video player. The Jam tracks, Text, and PDF’s all support the lessons taught on video.

If you know the …
If you know the chords he shows and don’t sound like this, that is wrong. Read about tuning, how to buy a guitar, if nothing after this then take it to a guitar shop or repair store and they’ll fix it, if it is still within possibility to do so. If not, they will tell you that you need a new or a used good working guitar. Good luck!
Two only …
Two only possibilities my friend. One is that your guitar is out of tune, wich I doubt unless you are a begginer. And the other is that it may actually be brokein some places or just one. Read a dummies book or the like on how to buy a guitar, and they will tell you how to know if the guitar you are looking at is working properly. It ain’t that hard to see if they do in fact work.
yeah i found that …
yeah i found that problem too, I had lost my pick and couldn’t find it, so i used the little metal bit on the top of a metal can. But it still didn’t sound any better, but then i found that they had actually fallen out of tune just slightly, so I fixed them up and played them and it sounded the same basically =]
and always remember to play ALL the strings not just some, because I accidentally only played some, in stead of all of them =] good luck!

If your guitar is in tune and you fingers are in the correct place then the help you need is, practice, practice,practice. It always sounds bad in the begining. Your fingers will hurt and your hand will cramp but eventually you will sound like the video. You get what you give. Good luck
