- Hey, what's up everybody? My name's Jared Meeker, and I'm thrilled to welcome you to this video where we're gonna cover all sorts of great stuff about the acoustic guitar. This instrument has such a wide array of great tones that are available. We're gonna do some finger picking, some of the standard basic techniques to make sure that your basic technique in holding the instrument is just rock solid. We're gonna go through hammer ons and pull offs, all kinds of really intricate great stuff. So let's just jump right in and have fun.
