Yes, go for it ! My advice would be 1: learn the notes on the strings ( if you don't already know), then 2: learn what makes up a major scale ,write out all those scales and learn those chords. That is a great foundation and will be the basis for everything else (theory wise) you learn from there. Good luck.
To all those “late starters”... I salute you! Age probably gives an advantage in that you probably have more patience. The guitar has a big initial learning curve because it’s physically quite demanding but once you get past that, you can make a lot of progress quickly.
@@BreatheRC I assumed that he was referring to Adam Neely's video about the Harmonic Style of 18th Century European music ;) and thus he would have been part of the Adam Neely gang or fan base haha!
@@MarySpender Caught this video 23 minutes before my local midnight on January 1st, 2021. O-kay. Fiiiine. 😅 When even @TomoFujitaMusic is here, I'll play (along on my guitar). Just for January, mind. Happy new year, Mary and Tomo.
I spent all of 2020 trying to practice and get better, even started lessons despite being a musician for 20 years but finally just dropped it all. Realized it's OK to have the relationship with my instrument that I do. I don't need to do what everyone else does. As long as I get better today than I was yesterday, as long as there is some progress and some learning that's enough for me.
I've nominated you to Crimson Guitars to be invited to build one of their kit guitars for the Great Guitar Build Off 2021. Or to be a judge for the competition.
This is 2nd vid of yours to which I have listened. Neither one has been a music video - I have not heard you play a lick yet. Wanted you to know I just subscribed and rang the "All" bell for no other reason than that you are just flat out the most dang pleasant person I've heard speak since I can remember. It is such a relief to listen to someone express themselves without ranting & raving about being offended by some group with which they disagree. Thank you. I look forward to hearing you more in the days ahead. All the best from McKinney, Texas
Mary ... I can't think of a better way to practice every day than spending it with you !!! You inspire me ... I can't thank you enough. your #1 fan Michael
Yep, I am totally on board with this idea of practicing every day, even if just for 15min. I'm unfortunately one of those who does long practices than skips days, mostly because I'm super busy with work, UA-cam, private lessons and family. It's sometimes very hard to find time. But yeah, let's do this, 15min really shouldn't be a problem! PS. Love the glasses.
I rationalize my practice binges, though I know playing until painful isn't ideal. "But after 9hrs I surprise myself with what I can do... Jaco style 16th note bass funk? Got it!"
And there was me, thinking you were going to do one of those New Year's Day swim-in-the-somewhat-cold-sea things ... Good luck with the Daily Spendings!
Hi Mary. Been watching your vids on and off for about a year. This one has kicked me in the arse and got my back into daily practice. I bought a guitar in the summer to teach myself to play, but the multiple lockdowns and general low energy of 2021 had me stop. Now you have given me the incentive to get back at it again. Thank you and I look forward to your daily videos. Also finally hit the Sub button!
If you're watching this then you have some time ... ha! Called out by Mary Spender on the second day od 2021 ... love it and love you, Mary ... will be onboard and rooting for you through this effort ... and I promise to go sit down at my drums each day this January, when I see your video drop/ notification(s) ... very best to you ... cheers!
2 minutes in and you have given me exactly what I need this year : a practice buddy. Someone who can remind me every day that I should do 15 minutes on my guitar, someone who can teach me new things, someone who can inspire me to be a better singer songwriter. This is an amazing idea Mary and I am with you 100%!! My notifications are turned on! I can't wait 🥰
I am SO up for this! Only ‘found’ you the other day through the Paul Davids improv video, which was great. I’ve (kind of) got in to a daily routine during lockdown where I do a 30 minute guitar workout and then a song or something particular I want to learn or improve. I manage most days, and now I have a conscience (accountability tracker) in this show.... hope you run on past January.
I made comment sometime ago about microphone choice/placement on vlogs, and just noticed that you have the Shure off to the side - you sound clear, no "room" issue. Well done!
I love that you're rocking a Bros. Landreth shirt!!!! Those guys are AMAZING! I'm excited for your new project! You always make me smile... Your vibes are just infectious and wonderful!!!!
You know what! Ima follow along with you! Starting with this video and continuing your future upload! I'm tired of giving excuses for not playing guitar well. I'm very excited about this journey!❤
As usual, your new approach is perfect and welcomed. I have been practicing and learning the things I should have learned ages ago. This was my way to redeem that time on my hands by taking every chance to have the guitar in my hands. So, I am with you: practice every day! 2021, here we come!
The fact that you have compiled enough “Guitar Stories” to share one with us every day, or almost every day, is a testament to what a great and wonderful idea it was (and is). Carry on, Mary!
I couldn't mute you if I wanted to. Mean to much to me. As to practice, getting back to it as much as my hands let me. VERY excited about a daily dose of Mary Spender in my life!
I'll do it. You are now the ONLY youtuber who I have hit the bell for. With a commitment in mind: I have a habit of putting work first and procrastinating on personal needs, so this year I'm going to do SOMETHING to make personal progress every day. I will play my guitar every day.
What a fantastic idea! I did something similar in October, IE 'Beatober', tried releasing a little music every day in October. I only did 14, but still pretty great, it's oddly motivating working within constraints and getting accustomed to 'delivering' frequently.
Mary- you seem so nice and genuine- like a "real" person. Your speaking voice is amazing, and you are easy on the eyes. TV networks should be fighting with each other to be the one to give you a prime time show. I hope that you don't change your style when you become one the biggest stars in the world.
This is such a great idea Mary... I'm in- for 2021- even if it's just 5 minutes- you've given me the idea to apply this to all the items I want to accomplish this year- exercise, guitar and meditation. starting out with just 5 minutes a day- it can certainly be more- but a minimum of 5 minutes- every day- let's see how I sound at the end of the year. Today- I practiced 3 string major triad shapes all over the neck- that was cool actually. I think I'll film some and post! Thanks for your inspiration and keep it up! You're awesome!
I have instruments to learn right next to me but for now I’m going to use this for accountability for music production. That’s where my energy is at right now, so pausing you for watching my online lessons, beat making, mixing. That’s where it’ll help ✌🏼
The last hours of the previous year finally i put an order for a headless Chineberger travel size guitar and waiting it to arrive.I am not going to travel somewhere but i like this particular type of guitar a lot even if staying at home.I hope when arrives in a couple of months and at last i hold it in my hands to play to be easy and ergonomic and not to spend the rest of the year for adjustments and every kind of modification.
You really are looking bright and rested here. It's a bit uplifting on this New Year's Day. It was a bit of a tough holiday for me and my family but all will be alright.
I have learned that "Motivation comes after Action" basically, when it comes to practicing guitar, don't wait to be Motivated to play your instrument or it will end up like a new year's resolution... Instead, just pick it up and start playing/practicing you will instantly get Motivated to play. Thank you for the great videos.
Truer words were never said. Happens a lot with me when I feel like doing some time pass instead of guitar, but I practice guitar instead, and always thank myself for it at the end of my practice session.
Thank you, and, you can do this...!!! I just started my own channel. As a recovering cancer patient, I couldn't work, still can't, been taking guitars apart... started a channel... mine are only a few minutes but I did do "a riff a day"... to get my brain going (I am in IT and need my brain to work... for work... 😄) keep it going!!!
I'm so excited to join in and watch these each day! I'm going to keep myself consistent and make it a point of picking this guitar up for at least five minutes a day. I've had my Taylor GS Mini for about two years now and I've had the best of intentions, but haven't really messed around with it or practiced. I'm going to change that this year! Thank you for your wonderful videos. Here's to a better 365 for us all!
Great video! I guess like a daily video podcast? Much needed inspiration on routines and practice, I'm in! John, 45 yr guitarist from Bklyn N.Y. Thnx Mary.
Still have my 1975 Yamaha FG-75 Taiwan. Hasn't seen much use in over 40 years but 2020 being what it was, it finally got put to some use. The fingers at 67 are slower than the past but it's slowly coming back. It sounds so much better than when it was new.
Hi Mary! Happy to see this video and the concept of consistency for a musician. My mantra since many years is 'Nullo die sine nota', Not a day without a note. :) All the best for the new year!
Love the new format I will be watching every day now. Actually made me pick up a guitar and practice for the first time in months as I had lost all motivation. Thank you !
Between dinner and coffee time I go upstairs every day to do some practicing (over an hour). Playing time depends partly on how my legs are (have RLS) and partly how many UA-cam videos I am watching in between. I love to wonder around trough video's seeking for talented musician and am sometimes blown away how good they are, while never been on television. This is also how I found you, Mary. Count me in, but please don't mind me gently picking strings while you are telling things. ;-)
i’m on it 71 and love your voice so I won’t mute you as I like all the video’s and as it 2021 time to rock on ! Happy new Year , just struming with some picking but I don’t use a plectrum,prefer fingers .. so hoping to pick up in discipline and fingerstyle.
Awesome Mary, it does seem daunting to post everyday. So I'm in as far as I really want my you tube channel to launch this year. I procrastinated all of 2020 away. So this year right now... I'm doing it!!! Thank you Mary, you always inspire me...
Hi Mary new to your channel ,I have been playing for 45 years but always get stuck on certain chords and get discouraged ,I know practice makes perfect and told this many times to my son ,guess I need to practice what i preach ,my sons a amazing player teaches me now
Thanks Mary. I’ve always had the equipment ,software apps, amps, guitars to play but was just plain lazy. ( for the last 30 years). But this has inspired me. I just ordered a small practice amp and as I’m working from home part time now, the guitar will be played everyday. Thank you for the kick in the “ bum” !!
Hi Mary, great one for your new show. We discovered you performing Sultans of swing with Leo. An amazing performance and much watched by my wife and self. Enjoyed Leo's performance who can only be described as an amazing machine, so much energy into his performances. You have a great speaking voice and come across as a really nice person. best of luck for 2021.
I want to thank you for all you do. Watching your videos has motivated me to practice every day. My consecutive practice days are now at 206 consecutive days! My goal is to practice at least 20 minutes a day. Sometimes it is daunting and seems like I will never get better, but I know that if I persevere, I will be the best Guitarist I can be. This applies to life in general. Thanks again!
This is fantastic! Love it, thank you! I find that using a timer - especially during short sessions - helps keep my practice focused. My students are probably more disciplined than I - do as I say, and all. But even when practicing something “boring” like scales, time can escape before I’ve hit everything on my list! This is going to be a great month!

I could listen to your speaking voice every morning. The accent is like butter to us in the USA!
Congrats, on the new show. I am in my late 50s, will give it a try to learn to play the guitar in 2021, :-)
You got this! 🤘
Yes, go for it ! My advice would be 1: learn the notes on the strings ( if you don't already know), then 2: learn what makes up a major scale ,write out all those scales and learn those chords. That is a great foundation and will be the basis for everything else (theory wise) you learn from there. Good luck.
I’m 55 and started 2 weeks ago on an acoustic
To all those “late starters”... I salute you! Age probably gives an advantage in that you probably have more patience. The guitar has a big initial learning curve because it’s physically quite demanding but once you get past that, you can make a lot of progress quickly.
Thanks to everyone for the vote of confidence
Okay, this is it. This is the sign. I will finally try to learn some piano and some of those harmonic style of 18th century European musicians.
This made me laugh so much. Love you Neely gang ❤️ I believe in you and your practice skills!!
@@OliveOliFera Neely gang ?
@@BreatheRC I assumed that he was referring to Adam Neely's video about the Harmonic Style of 18th Century European music ;) and thus he would have been part of the Adam Neely gang or fan base haha!
This is amazing!!
I took a lot of notes from your video! Thanks so much Mary!! See you soon!!
Hello Tomo, nice to see you here :D
...she is (***love sigh***) 😓...if only she'd read my comments
@@alteroccatv Haha I read everything don't you worry ;)

I found myself in the same mindset. Fiddling for twenty years and then took a 5 year hyaitus. I just want to get back on point for me.
The way you speak English...is just splendid... Greetings From South Carolina...
I've nominated you to Crimson Guitars to be invited to build one of their kit guitars for the Great Guitar Build Off 2021. Or to be a judge for the competition.
sounds really cool
Yesssssssss that’s an awesome channel
I practiced a new lick I’ve been working on from my guitar teacher. Thank you for the encouragement Mary. I will be tuning in my friend.
This is 2nd vid of yours to which I have listened. Neither one has been a music video - I have not heard you play a lick yet.

Thankyou Mary . Keep being so genuinely passionate about your craft. You are a musical angel !
Mary ...
I can't think of a better way to practice every day than spending it with you !!!
You inspire me ... I can't thank you enough.

This is so awesome! I can come home from a hard day every day and watch your show!!

Couldn't agree more. I sold my first guitar and have been on an endless quest to find it (or twin) ever since.
Best of luck on your daily !
So glad you're doing this! Can't wait to see how it goes!

*Immediately checks if the bell is on "all"*
Very good. As you said in the LVB video, the procedure is all. Call it practice or exploration, just do it. Happy New Year

I actually stopped and practiced! Then finished the video of course. Thanks for posting!
Bought my daughter her first guitar for her birthday in december, need to show her your channel now. Lots of love from Sweden.
Hi Mary! Happy to see this video and the concept of consistency for a musician.
My mantra since many years is 'Nullo die sine nota', Not a day without a note. :)

That track in the beginning... and the shots of the beach are fantastic. Looking forward to tomorrow, and happy new year to you.
Good for you Mary. 🎶🎵❤️
Brighton, lovely place. I was There 2 years ago and enjoyed it very much. My first and last trip to UK😕

I will be there with you. Can’t wait. Well I’ve been there for a long while now but great to be a part x
Just started learning Guitar & found this channel and love everything about it! New Sub for life! Thank you.
Great! Will do.
i’m on it 71 and love your voice so I won’t mute you as I like all the video’s and as it 2021 time to rock on ! Happy new Year , just struming with some picking but I don’t use a plectrum,prefer fingers .. so hoping to pick up in discipline and fingerstyle.
Love this idea as we are both in it for the ride in the month of January!!!
Great job on #1, Mary! Keep it up!!
Awesome Mary, it does seem daunting to post everyday. So I'm in as far as I really want my you tube channel to launch this year. I procrastinated all of 2020 away. So this year right now... I'm doing it!!!
Thank you Mary, you always inspire me...
Well done!! What a brave move!!
Thank you! It's exciting for sure
Loving all your work and congrats sounds like a great plan for 2021 .. wishing you the best
Thanks Mary, you got me starting to really practice again today, not just playing around. Let´s see how long it will continue 😊.
Hi Mary new to your channel ,I have been playing for 45 years but always get stuck on certain chords and get discouraged ,I know practice makes perfect and told this many times to my son ,guess I need to practice what i preach ,my sons a amazing player teaches me now
Let's go!!!! I really want to get better at guitar 😅 this will help with motivation! 👏👏👏
