- Are you a beginner guitarists looking to lay a solid foundation for your musical journey? In this video, I'll share three essential tips. like pillars, that will help you master the basics and set you on the path to becoming a proficient guitarist.
With over 10,000 one-on-one lessons taught, I've identified three crucial pillars for beginners. The first tip concerns familiarizing yourself with your tools: the pick and the guitar. I'll explain why carrying your pick everywhere and having your guitar nearby at home are key practices for building familiarity and comfort with your instruments.
Next, I'll introduce you to the pick rest technique-an often overlooked but highly effective method for improving your picking precision and control. You'll learn how to rest your pick on the adjacent string after each stroke, setting the stage for smoother and more accurate playing.
Finally, I'll delve into the importance of perfecting your fretting technique. From playing on your fingertips to positioning your fingers close to the fret, I'll provide practical tips to help you produce clear and articulate notes.
Whether you're just starting or looking to refine your skills, mastering these basics is essential for every guitarist.

Thanks for the tips Eric! I was a Mandarin linguist in Air Force days in Taiwan. You're right, use it or lose it....
Here I am, to pick it up AGAIN. I make progress, then put the guitar down for 3 months, 6 months, a year. Only to pick it up AGAIN, and start the process over with sore fingers again. What's the secret? My brothers play, and when we're together I feel left out. Maybe this time?!
Just play everyday even if it’s only for 15 mins. I am relearning the guitar after long term Covid. Extremely.. frustrating so I get when you say starting over and sore fingers. YOU GOT THIS !!!!!
Thank God for Yourguitarsage Erich is a phenomenal Guitar Teacher. Baby steps. 🙏❤️🙏🎵🩷.
I am excited for this. I am a member of your online community and struggle to progress. I look forward to starting back at the beginning with you and seeing what can be done.
You got this!
I’m here and so grateful you’re doing this. You’re the best teacher and so many will benefit from this. Including me. Thank you Erich. I subscribed. 🙏🖤🙏🎵🎶🎸
That is the sweetest! Thank you so much, MM.
Erich, your encouragement has helped me a lot, thanks. I am slowly progressing, I had in person lessons for a while, but I developed wrist soreness because I practiced too much and had poor technique, I learned to practice in shorter sessions several times a day. My age (70) is part of the problem, so is having slightly short, stubby fingers (like Marty Schwartz), so I have to learn how to slightly modify my technique for each obstacle. The open A chord is the first example, I change how I place my fingers, tailoring it for the particular chord changes. Learning technique as needed for each new song, along with new chord shapes.
Beautiful! Love that, Lee. Keep going my friend. If you’re, “why” is big enough, you have a plan and you execute that plan, there’s nothing keeping you from any of your goals. This is the way.
Nice! Welcome, Michael!
I’ve always loved the sound of an acoustic guitar and dreamed of learning to play one day. I’m almost 50 & going through a nasty divorce. I needed an outlet for this abundance of anxious moments when I just don’t know what to do with myself. I bought my first guitar today (Fender F-240A) and you already taught me proper finger tip placement…sharpie dots totally helped me see it! Thank you!
I love that so much, Rachael! Thank you so much for sharing. This is fuel for my day.
Where have you been all my life?!?! Oh here I suppose🤦🏻 brilliant cover I’d say.

Thank you friend! So glad you are here.
But surely some players are naturally gifted like E V H?
There is some level of "natural talent" which comes from exposure to music from birth, or even the genes of your parent (Papa VH was a professional musician).
However, a phenomenal guitar player I know said he occasionally gets "I wish I had your natural talent", and his reply is "spend 11 hours a day sitting there practicing scales, and you will be".
I also heard an interview with Alex, where he said he'd be heading out on Friday night with his friends, and would invite Ed along. He would just be sitting in his room playing his guitar, and when Alex would get home several hours later, he'd still be there, still with his guitar in his hand.
