Been trying to figure them out and have gotten pretty close with Blott en Dag (G6 tuning capo 2) and now working on Den Blomstertid Nu Kommer (E). It's challenging but with the Youtube videos they sound/look really close to recording and helps ton.

There's one part on Blott en Dag I'm struggling with on the B part starting from the Bm. Wondering if you could share the chord voicing there?

Best I've gotten is: Bm, E7, G#dim, (don't know what to call this one, but the notes are G-F-B-D?), then it goes into the F#m for the last line.

Practice slowly and deliberately, focusing on accuracy before speed. Use a metronome and break difficult sections into smaller parts.

Hi!
I sometimes indicate the slide symbol up to a certain note with a line that doesn't particularly say from what exact note to slide from. The reason is that it varies so much. I might slide from a half step below sometimes, and other times from a whole step below or more. So in the TAB that you're speaking of, you don't see what note I'm sliding from in the TAB. But you hear me explain it when I go through the example.
Kind regards/E

There are many brands that build amazing world class instruments. I've tried some guitars that are considered
some of the best guitars ever made - and some of them I didn't like at all, because they didn't fit my playing style, didn't feel
right in my hands and didn't produce a sound that I liked. But I have colleges that play that exact guitar - and it sounds amazing
and feels amazing in their hands. All about taste and feel just like strings etc.
Asking who makes the best acoustic guitars in the world is kind of like asking who makes the best music in the world.. It's up
to you what you like - and I always suggest for someone who looks for a new guitar to try as many instruments as possible.
The guitar that you just don't want to stop playing - that's the one! :)

I'd say it's not about price either, because there are certain guitars that have a sound and/or a feel that just makes you want
to keep playing it, but the guitar doesn't necessarily cost a lot at all.

But this is just my humble opinion and I'd love to hear what other people think about this subject!

Thanks for asking about this Jack!!

The Bm chord is easier to find open string ideas that will sound good. Try using the D major (or B minor, same notes) tonality and find descending and ascending lines.
I don't have a specific line to share that I can think of at the moment, but whenever I practice a specific tune or so, I find ideas myself by just experimenting!

Kind regards/E

Let's take Cmaj7 as an example to demonstrate this.

Cmaj7 has 4 notes,
C, E, G, B

Cmaj7 root position, would have the C note in the bass.
For example: C, E, G, B.
The order of the rest of the notes (all the notes except the bass note, C) doesn't really matter how you voice them, as long as you have the C note played as the bottom note.

If we'd play a Cmaj7 chord 1st in version, then the 3rd would be in the bass. 3rd meaning major 3rd of the chord, which is the note E.
For example: E, B, C, G. (as you can see, the 3rd (E) is now played as the bottom note. The rest of the notes, B, C and G can be voiced in any order that you like and that is physically manageable on the guitar. Some voicing that are really easy on piano might be really difficult on the guitar, because of how the instrument works/tuning etc.

If we were to play Cmaj7 in the 2nd inversion, that would be playing the 5th in the bass (meaning 5th of the chord - which is the note G).
For example: G, C, E, B.

And finally, the 3rd inversion is playing the 7th in the bass..
For example: B, E, G, C...

Like I mentioned above.. the order of the rest of the notes is all up to you. The main thing you need to learn is that
Root position means playing the chord with the root in the bass
1st inversion means that we play the 3rd in the bass
2nd inversion means that we play the 5th in the bass
3rd inversion means that we play the 7th in the bass.

Let me know if you have any further questions! I'm always happy to help!

I'm looking to take several steps backwards. Rather than learn Emil's more advanced arrangements, I want to learn dozens of melodies/songs and have a process of arranging with different feels. Also be able to take them in all keys and all over the neck.

Ex. Take the melody of a pop song. Play it with just bass lines, then add to the bass, add rhythm ect. I can learn melodies and chords by ear it just struggle to arrange it into something.

Any advice on how to approach this or course recommendations? Teachers?

Thanks,
Brock

Sorry if this was a double post. I want to take several steps back with fingerstyle guitar. I want to take dozens of simple melodies/songs (like nursery rhymes) and arrange them in all keys. So when I hear a new melody I have a few ways of arranging on the spot. For now I just want to take these simple melodies and play them with chords in a handful of different styles (just root 3rd and 5th for now). Is there a resource that teaches this? Something like take mary had a little lamb and do it boom chick style, then just bass notes with the melody, then maybe arpeggios in the bass line with the melody ect.

Thanks
Brock

I want to take several steps back with fingerstyle guitar. I'm going to start taking simple nursery rhymes and play them finger style with chord changes (no 7ths, just root 3rd, 5th).

I have no problem figuring out these chords and melodies. But I want some arrangement ideas that I should be comfortable with. I want to be able to take hundreds of simple melodies and be able to play it in different ways. For now still just root, 3rd, 5th. I'm thinking like, for example, mary had a little lamb. Should I be able to play that boomchick style? Maybe just play root notes for the bass line? Melody arpeggios in the bass line? Where can I go to learn this simple approaches?

Thanks,
Brock

I´ve sent you an email. Let us continue there so we can sort this out.

You could look into Evo frets if you can live with the gold color. They are not as hard as stainless steel but much harder than traditional frets. The size, especially the height, also depends on the string gauge and how hard you press when fretting. These two factors impact the intonation quite a bit.

Kind regards,

I use 12-53 but I actually change the 12 to a 14 (Joe Robinson suggested me to try it out and I love it, because I get a nice tone on the high E string even with a low action). Hope all is well Chris! Have a great day! Kind regards /E
