    I may have to watch this a few times before I learn this valuable information. But I only had to watch this once to know never to clip my toenails on a flight again.

      I bought a D’Angelico Premier DC about three or four years ago, my first semi hollow guitar. Man I love it. It’s become my number one!

    I miss tearing at my toenails on public transportation during the summer when I wore sandals. As I child I would chew to trim them and spit them in my room. As an adult I use an x acto knife to start the nail and to carve out the persistent fungus.

    Hey Sean, really appreciate your videos. Here's a question that's been nagging me and, of all the guitar youtubers out there, I feel like you'd provide the best or at least the most entertaining answer:
    At what stage can someone legitimately say, "Yeah, I PLAY GUITAR." (As opposed to "Yeeeeah, not really, I'm learning.")
    Obviously you're always learning (or should be.) You're never really DONE. But I feel like there's some threshold where you've kind of earned your first apprentice badge, right? Like, someone goes "Yeah, I'm a guitar player, and here's a little tune you might know called SMOKE ON THE WATER!" No one wants to be *that* guy. Or, y'know, not for long.
    All of which being a roundabout way of saying--is there a BASIC set of guitar skills, knowledge, chops etc. that constitute your kind of "Level 1 Guitar Player Trophy Unlocked" accomplishment?
    Thanks again man.

    First things first. "Up" is towards the floor and the bridge. "Down" is towards the sky and the nut.
    I have found it's impossible to teach with verbal instruction without that basic understanding. If I say "go up a fret" or "up a string", the rookie must respond correctly without a thought.
    In the past I have wanted to rip my hair out because somebody who wants to learn guitar but doesn't know which way is up. Sitting across from each other a rookie will tend to slide his hand the same direction as you, before their ear is trained and they begin to learn to whistle with their hand. Thats how I think of it. You can whistle a new song easily with your ear. When you can do it with your hand, you my friend are a guitarist.

    My biggest problem learning the fretboard was not knowing all the repeat notes, same pitch. Thanks for posting

    I’ve long thought starting in the middle of the fretboard made sense in learning the instrument.

      Yes, but, knowing there's only 12 notes that "repeat to infinity" doesn't help you remember their place on the fretboard, now, does it?

    Go down a string? Going from a low E to an A string is going up.
