Thanks bro, amazing video

You provide clear, efficient instructions, Doc. I like that. Is there a good reason to exclude finger 4, the pinky finger? The way I see it, everyone who came to the party gets to dance. Since I also play the piano, I have worked to develop the strength, dexterity, and autonomy of the little finger. Therefore, my thumb plays strings 6 and 5, and fingers 1, 2, 3, and 4 play strings 4, 3, 2, and 1, respectively. To this point, I don't have a good reason as to why not to do this. Furthermore, guitarists are known for rebelliousness and innovation, right? Les Paul, Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, SRV, etc. My little finger came along. He gets to dance, too. 🙂

"Learn songs first, ones you know and love" was advice I received at beginning but did not follow. 7 years later I focus on "learning songs". UA-cam videos very helpful but can lead you down rabbit holes such as crash courses on Music Theory, Nashville System, Fretboard Magic etc., MY advice.....learn songs, practice them daily, pick a playing style and role model to follow. 😎🎸🪕🎼🎶

Jaxon, initially, I thought that you were just another pitch man. Eventually, I realized that you were giving sincere advice, and later, still, I realized that it is good sincere advice. With work demands -- including overseas travel -- my effort to play the guitar has been off and on, but it always calls me back. The key for me is realizing that I enjoy learning the guitar. I enjoy the process. I used to be so right-hand dominant that it was hard to fret certain notes with my left hand. Chords were really hard. But I have stuck with it where I have learned many notes and chords, etc. That is healthy and beneficial. . . . Anyway, for those in that 90%, give it another try. It's fun!

Justinguitar is a good site, as is andyguitar. Both have beginner 101 lessons. As a boomer, i didn't have all the great videos to learn from as people do today. You were lucky if you could buy sheet music for a song you liked or a book with multiple songs. Beginners get a good guitar tuner as it's imperative to keep your guitar tuned. When i try to teach a beginner, i start out teaching a good holding position and a few basic chords. Once they get them down, we go to the next few chords. Learning 5 or 6 basic chords can let you play a host of songs.I try to teach them the rhythm of strumming as that can be a challenge for newbies. I tell them to practice 15 to 20 min a day if possible, but cut back if your fingers start to hurt . It gets easier when you start to get callouses and strength in them. Give it time and take it slow. The more you practice, the better you get, and the better you get, the more you want to practice and learn. Learning a guitar or any instrument is a lifelong enjoyment for yourself and others that listen to you. Get that guitar and keep plucking.

Justin Guitar is fantastic, he got me off the ground.

Excellent points….your tips helped a great deal. Thank you.

Enjoyed the session. Thank you

I was a one year quitter statistic at 21. Now in my 60’s I’ve been going strong for 3 years and will never quit as long as my fingers work. I keep it fresh by playing songs I love every time I practice in addition to songs I’m struggling with. Eventually my struggle songs become my fun songs, but there’s always a new challenging song waiting in the wings. If I don’t feel like practicing, I tell myself to do 10 minutes….it usually turns into an hour.

Thank you so much for publishing this video. I'm an intermediate player stuck in the burnout zone for some years. Unmotivated, bored with the same old same old, looking for a way to get out of that rut. I needed someone (you) to tell it like it is and get me rolling again. Thanks.

The Beatles were self taught as were most of the 60s guitarists. The lucky few make it to a recording contract regardless of ability to actually play guitar.

there is a lot of sense in what you say . I started in 2020 , at 55 . one of the best things I have ever done.

Started late (29), small hands, limited talent. Took me to amazing places-3 records, tons of live shows, several bands, played live on major commercial radio, wrote hundreds of songs, helped teach/shared it with my kid. One of the most important threads of my life. Honestly, for me it was a simple refusal to give up no matter what. Just keep playin’. At least 15 minutes per day. No (or exceedingly few) exceptions. But don’t beat yourself up if you don’t get there-just means it wasn’t your thing. There are lots of others. So yeah, what he says at the end. Period. One more thing: Start with an electric. Much easier to get the basics quick on electric than acoustic. You can even practice unplugged in an apartment.

This is nonsense excellent advice. I can thoroughly recommend Justin Guitar to learn from. Justin's tutorials are thoroughly structured and extremely comprehensive. Your advice regarding giving yourself 'easy victories' - or going temporarily away from a course - is spot on - and sometimes needed to break and lift us. Comparison with sticking close to the coastline is so apt with so much out there to distract us! Being close to breaking free of the 'beginner cycle' and advancing to 'intermediate; this is just what I needed to re-focus before turning 63. Many thanks!

I’m currently teaching myself guitar as a 16 year pianist. I can definitely say my background in piano has helped a lot with some of the guitar terminology for sure. I don’t necessarily feel like a “beginner” to a certain degree. Right now I’m learning all the notes on the fretboard taking it one string at a time. I honestly just want to be able to play every riff/solo in fade to black lmao.

Guitar is the one of the hardest instruments on earth. Part of the problem is new players getting gaslit into thinking it's an easy instrument. Shops want sales, instructors want students, and no one likes to tell you the truth. You picked an extremely difficult instrument. I tell my kids when they start out, don't be afraid to just make noise. Your ears will teach you what sounds right as you go. You can learn theory as you go. Just make noise, have fun, and practice one thing at a time as you start out. And BUY A GUITAR THAT IS COMFORTABLE. I've watched music teachers hand a 16yr old an acoustic with 15-70 steel strings on it...

bad habits bro. fixing a bad habit is waaay harder than learning it right the first time. i kinda regret not getting a proper course with an actual teacher

I think a lot of people quit because they seemingly run into a dead end, where they accomplished their goal of learning their fav songs on guitar. The creativity it takes to create your own songs and be happy with them is a hard plateau to get through

How do you read the music notes? Is there a video on that? I know how to read the fret already.

Absolutely brilliant video 👍

Spot on, every other tutorial does not outline the variations you have knowledge on plus the chord sounds on others are way off.

you started right away im subbing and liking I dont ever do this

It didn't help me at all. My fingers must be too big because I've tried everything and I always mute a chord by accident. I especially hate the c chord.

DUDEEE THANK UUUU

Super clean my guy!

THANK YOU. That annoying buzzing sound haunted me until i found this videa

I have naturally longer nails so when I do get the proper placement the string is right under my finger nail where it statches to my finger, so it feels like my finger nail is getting peeled off.

Man that looks like a silvertone I bought today!

Q

This is great and precise!! Thank you!

what the hek this actually a really good tutorial

Please marry me

This was a HUGE help, thank you!!

wow thank you for inspiring me to throw my guitar 😭🫶🏼

No pain no gain 😐 sabka katega Mera mtlb ungli 😂

Thank you for this video! Finally, after 10 years of self-learning fingerstyle, I learned the proper approach for the right hand. Learning tabs feels different now. :D

this small viewed video is really helpful

Your channel is so helpful and straightforward! Could you also possibly do one for Chihiro - Billie Eillish

That helped so much, thank you, also what guitar are you using. It is beautiful.

Super helpful!! Never seen a video recommending the finger placement next to the fret!! Instantly improved my playing hugely!

THANKS.

Ooh lord you're so underrated!!💗

Can you please tell me which guitar you are using. It's sounding amazing ❤😊

If you're still raking requests Dr, I would die 4 u would be awesome! Great lesson here!

mate, please keep up these 90 second tutorials of popular songs! insanely useful!!

Hi I have a question. While I always change the chords when playing the guitar, be it from chord to other chord or with tabs, after I release my finger the tones come always out. What is that about? Because I'm pushing too hard? I mean I have to press a little hard to get the tones out, but when I want to switch to another chord, the sound from the one played before still comes out. For this reason the song doesn't sound like it should be played. Can you help me out?😅

Hey! Whenever I lift up my fingers to switch chords, the music blocks out and you can hear the strings play so it stops the chord I played. I don't know if that makes sense but I'm not sure how to avoid it.

How do I not mute the strings when playing chords? I have no issue with individual notes, its when I play chords

I need to learn this. This is absolutely amazing

What do you call those actual chords ?
