Bought my guitar yesterday, never touched one before and after watching your video, I've played my first tune! 57 years old! Thank you so so much.
Thanks mate, glad it helped you out.
Thanks 👍 you've encouraged me as I bought mine 2 yrs ago at 57! you must be great now !
I’ve just started learning at 58 years old.
It is you. You and J. HFS 😢
🤢🤮😔💔
I bought my guitar a couple of weeks ago and then watched soooo many videos which made me ask myself if I had made a mistake. But when I came across your videos and once again had hope. I'm 68 and grew up during a time when the best music of all time was and still is here. I never intended to be Jimi Hendrix or Joe Bonamossa, but just to be able to play something that would make someone say " I know that song!" Your 1 string songs have made that happen! Pure genius! My goal is to learn House of the Rising Sun by The Animals. Thanks again from a devoted follower.

So glad I could help. Thanks for the great comment. Just remember stick at it. It's a slow process for all of us.
I had a stroke and forgot how to play my guitar, piano and my accordion. That was 8 years ago and I had another one 4 months ago. I am trying to learn again and you have helped me thank you so much
Sorry to hear Neola, just take your time, you'll get back there.
Glad your on recovery bro , guitar will give you pleasure
1 finger. 1 string. The entire AC DC collection.
Well i see you dont play guitar whatsoever
@@MrWinky69i cant name one. He obviously never played guitar.
Me too with strumming pattern
As a beginner, I was disheartened with my guitar playing and this vídeo did boost my confidence/interest a lot! Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed the video part 2 is coming
Did I ask nah I’m playing 🤙
You’ll be shredding before you know it
Jus found my reason to keep on trying! Felt like I was at a dead end & still can't play a whole song but this has opened up new beginnings! Thanks so much!

Thanks Doug, glad I could help.
This old man in his 80’ is looking forward to try this. Seems to be the best I’ve found. Thank you.
Learning Guitar has been a frustrating experience. It's been really hard to keep myself motivated for 3 years now. Had I stumbled upon this video in my early days the journey would've been way more enjoyable. Your lessons are fun and that's what learning music should be about. You're doing a big favor to all beginners mate. Keep up the good work.
Thanks mate.
Dont give up play everyday and set goals. The key is to STOP when it gets frustrating. Its supposed to be fun!
I strongly agree with this. I’m learning guitar and I need to learn Jingle bells but I’m not enjoying it at all. I found this really fun and I get it more.
Well said mate! This goes double for me too.
Tbh I’m a beginner and I got most of these right first or third try but Batman still be messing with me 😭
This is great advice for beginners, and EXACTLY how I started learning to play guitar over 40 years ago. He is basically playing the 1st (root or bass) notes for each song, and not the actual full chords. Now..... if you take your pinky and add a 5th note one string down and 2 frets down from the root note, you have a "power chord." Add a little distortion on the electric guitar and you are off and jamming.. This will work for most of these songs, and hundreds more, and is actually the way most rock and metal songs are played. Then it is on to learning full chords of 3 notes or more. Oh yeah, then those pesky lead scales....lol. It takes a lot of time and practice to become very proficient at the guitar, but this lesson is a great place to start.
@D B Cooper You are welcome. I am still here, and I am always glad to help an up and coming fellow guitarist. I have been playing, teaching, gigging and luthering since I was 12 years old (I am 53 now). The day I stop playing guitar will be the day I die (I hope anyway). There are actually lot of good guitar players and instructors on You Tube. Unfortunately, most of them are here to show off, brag about their million dollar guitar collections or confuse people by teaching with, and selling, over complicated music theory lessons (theory is really not that hard to understand with a little effort). If you want to follow some very knowledgeable and proficient guitar players/teachers, check out Rick Beato or Steve Stine. There is also an amazing young lady guitar player on You Tube that is a great teacher as well. Her name is Ayla Tesler-Mabe. Her channel is called "Guitareo." Some people call Ayla the "Bob Ross" of guitar teaching because she is so soft spoken and patient. Keep on playing and don't give up. It can be frustrating at times, but the more you practice and the better you get, the more you will WANT to play. Take care and keep on jammin'. 🎸🎵🎸🎼🎸
i hate it when i do like 4 or 5 in a row nice and then out of nowhere TWAAAAANGG
I've been playing for four years...... still happens lollol
yeah I hate when it happens
It happens to the best of us
Yesss I hate that so much
Ikr
This was amazing. I'm 53 and have never played the guitar before. I was giggling like a school girl when I played Smells Like Teen Spirit. :) This was the best lesson!!! Thank you!!!
its not actually how you play teen spirit if you were wondering
@@joshhawkins8394 he knows that, this isn't for pros like you
@@TheOmniscientAtheist he? 😂💀
I'm sixty and giggling the same too!
@@joshhawkins8394 this IS exactly the melody, the most recognizable riff of Teen spirit. This is not about playing all the chords and scales of the entire song. This is showing beginners how to play the famous riff on one string only.
This is brilliant. Just what I'm looking for as a complete beginner. I know you have to learn cords and how to play all strings but picking up a guitar for the first time, this allows you to play something you recognise and encourages you to pick up your guitar everyday.
Exactly how i felt
My son has encouraged me to learn guitar, I' m 44 yrs old. I love this because Its VERY BASIC and to the point. Clear and slow for someone like me Thank you so much. I would love to see more. I don't want to be a superstar I just need a creative outlet.
This guy is cool , someone who finally gives completely brand new guitar players a helping hand , subbed and liked
Thanks mate, glad I could help.
I found your lessons yesterday and it was like a light coming on! How brilliant to be able to play Queen. Love it. Thanks.
Complete beginner here and watching this really got me buzzing about wanting to play properly someday .... even though the tunes are on one string only this is helping me massively getting a feel for where the frets are without me constantly counting them ... thank you so much for taking the time to make a video that even a total novice like myself can clearly understand .. subscribed 👍
Best beginner guitar lesson ever!
Simple and easy to learn from this. Thank you so much.
The super chilled vibe from the dude demonstrating, added massively to my willingness to learn! Much appreciated!
Who are these people disliking this video? What is not like about how basic and easy this guy is teaching us?
You can't please everybody.
The dislikes are PRO players who forgot they had to start somewhere. These tutorials are BRILLIANT!
They are smarter than everybody , born with a golden guitar up their A$$, they can magically play with no lessons, little Cherub prodogies 😂😂
@@5BIRDOG50:08 Not best way to start learning. Way better is learning chords A, Am, B, Bm... You will remember the chords because they are used in all songs. It may not feel good like learning simple songs like these. My point is you will forget those little songs in days or weeks of not playing, yet chords will stay in you because you use them all the time in all of the song in the world. Thats why i Disliked😊
Thank You for making this available for those who either can not get out at all due to ill health or unable to afford lessons. May you be blessed with health, happiness, wisdom, love and peace. This is very much appreciated, you make it VERY clear to follow with your audio instructions accompanied with the playing along and numbers below. Never too old to hopefully learn a new trick.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson. Don't forget to check out part 2 ua-cam.com/video/r2aw1a0777w/v-deo.html
I found this a few days ago and it's really been a big help in memorizing where the frets are. And it's nice to be able to actually have what I play sound somewhat like music.
Taking my old guitar off the shelf. This video was great, thank you so much. Now I can finally play something!

My 8 year old son and husband have fixed up an antique kids electric guitar. He is LOVING your video! Thanks for your quick, easy help!
These are great because as your skills improve, you can adapt these into more complicated versions.
I haven’t been able to find a video I can learn guitar on this is definitely the best video ever! I was about to put it in the closet now you inspired me to do way more!
My son wanted me to get a guitar so he could teach me. I got one since, locked down and always wanted to learn to play. It's nice that I could play something that sounds like a song. Really keeps you motivated to play. I'm figuring as I get better, something like this is a great warm up. Thank you. Great lesson.
Thankyou Mike ! I'm a 45yr old beginner, and your lessons have given me a great start and confidence. I use your lessons to practice daily. As I've made progress, I've adapted power chords back into your early part lessons (and it sounds good!). Still a long way to go, but I appreciate your time and dedication to the lessons. They're a tremendous help.
No worries, glad I could help.
Im 16 and just starting to learn. But the only guitar I have is my brothers that is missing the G and E string, I’m working on getting my own tho
I’m 60 years old and I’m having the time of my life!!!! This video really keeps me motivated!
Thanks Donald, glad to help.
Thank you for this sir. I'm gonna use this as one of my go to practices. I'm a beginner for 10 years. I've been so lazy, but I promise myself to gain something from this lockdown and one of them is being able to play guitar.
Each to his own but these online music lessons are just a ploy to get your money, One Tennessee man spent over 10,000 on lessons and another 7,000 on guitars and speakers for his son and after two years he still couldn't play a note, The son really tried to cause his inheritance depended on him learning, In fact, the other three boys ages 15, 17 and 17 fathers spent thousands on guitar lessons and couldn't play a song after two years and two of the boy's fathers are legends in NASHVILLE and the music world,, The CHORD BUDDY is a POS so is EZ CHORD and the guy there about the one finger is laughable The late WAYLON and MAN IN BLACK plus KRIS KRISTOFFERSON, And CHET ADKINS all said , you can buy these sucker lessons online fro some man sitting behind a computer counting all the money people send him to learn to play guitar and the closest he ever came to a guitar he saw one in a pawnshop, Save your money and if you have the talent it will come out and it want be in the pockets of SAM HOLLYWOOD,
@@whiskeyrun4996 thank you for the concern pal, but I'm *not* spending my money on anyone here, not any online music lessons or apps, not even this dude lol
I was talking about this one particular video that is free to watch and I thought this could be one of my go to practices for fun.
My purpose for learning guitar isn't for the publicity, it's just for my own self, so I can use my old ass guitar that have been sitting in my room for years begging somebody to play it 😆
Anyway I got your point.
Have a good one.
@@whiskeyrun4996 WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT....
@@runeplate123 MR. GUITAR TEACHER, you are too ignorant to understand the topic, It's a damn shame that THESE PHONY MUSIC TEACHERS trick these young kids saying THEY can teach them to play a complete song in 30 minutes,, tricking the kids is bad enough but elderly people who live on fixed incomes these so-called teachers are in my opinion just RIP-OFF ARTIST. And in your own words, THAT IS WTF I AM TALKING ABOUT, NOW TELL YOUR STORY WALKING,
Thank you. A friend suggested your videos to help me as a beginner. Greatly appreciated this. Looking forward to more.
I have been trying to figure out my fingers and boost my confidence playing. Thank you so much for your simple and wonderful lessons
No worries mate, glad I could help.
I just got my guitar yesterday, this helps a lot. Thanks man!
i love how you have the numbers and spaces on the bottom, so after hearing/watching you i can pause it and still see the numbers 👍
Thank you, the numbers and lines are called tablature or tab for short. Just remember the lines are the strings and the numbers are the frets.
The best teacher ever !!!. Nothing could be better. Made sure I subscribed. Thanks
Thanks mate, glad I could help.
Brilliant - because learning has been such a struggle. Your lesson gives me the encouragement that I need. Thank you so very very much.
Thanks! I recently decided to start playing my old guitar and this has been a neat party trick and has gotten me interested in learning more complicated stuff!
This is amazing. My guitar has been sitting in the corner for like a year because i was too intimidated to learn. Lately I’ve gotten back into it and so happy that i found this video! Thanks so much for this.
Thanks Angela glad you enjoyed the lesson, don't forget to check out part 2 and 3 where we slowly increase your skill.
Great simple to understand love it!
Thank you so much! It helps boost my confidence that I can play SOMETHING amid all the frustration!
Great lesson never picked a guitar up before and this had me playing in minutes, well done and more of the same please.
This was so clearly shown and easy to follow, thank you so much!!!
just started learning myself, and that technique of stopping between notes has been just what the doctor ordered !!
Awesome! Thanks for this!
Such a great vid. Taught me so much without being complicated. 😎
Thank you for a wonderful simple lesson! A 64 year old new beginner and this provides small win goals! :-)
I've just started learning guitar and gotta say your guide here was by far the most useful I've found on UA-cam. Thanks mate
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson.
Very easy and intuitive for really beginners :)
Thanks!!
Thank you for having simple lessons. I played a long time ago. My first lesson was from my older brother. Being 45, I'm wanting to pick this up again. You're an awesome teacher!!!
Thanks mate, glad it was helpful.
Thank you so much. A lot of other guides taught me things that were WAY too advanced for their "beginner" lessons. This was super easy to learn and made me feel like I accomplished so much by the end.
Pretty cool idea and concept there! 👍🎸😊
Thanks, simply awesome for beginners.
Brilliant, I’ve had a guitar for years, and never been able to play one tune (apart from come as you are intro) now I have a few intros to keep me entertained! Thank you.
Same here bro,, what to do to avoid sore fingers tips 😢
Totally loved this. You make learning these well-known song fun and easy.
Thanks Judy
Crazy useful tutorial! Loved it.
Many Thanks, just what I've been looking for.
My man.....you taught me how to play my 1st song. By FAR the best teacher on YT. You take time to really teach and talk to US like the beginners we are. You are truly a God send. Much respect and love. I haven't watched all your videos YET....but will you please teach a few Bob Marley songs...for beginners. Thanks and love.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson. Stick at it, it is a slow process for all guitarists at the start. I'll put some bob marley on the list of songs to do.
@@EssentialGuitarLessons Thanks bro. Be safe and take take. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much! I learnt my first 3 songs many years ago, picked up the guitar yesterday and couldn't remember any thing! This has really helped me out, thanks again.
That is so good, glad I could help.
great tuition for the dummies like myself! So easily explained.You go well mate!
Thanks a lot. Keep ‘em coming.
Thanks mate.
Oh man I wish I’d come across a guitar teacher like you years ago, you’re amazing, I’m sure with encouragement from someone like yourself I could have achieved my lifetime dream of playing the guitar.
It's never too late. stick at it you'll get there.
This is an amazing video!! I LOVE how he teaches!!!!! So easy !!! Thank you!!! Im actually playing songs now 1 string but hey they song!!!! ❤
YES!!! Thank you! Great Inspiration and Encouragement! 😊
Thanks Ramona, happy to help.
I love the way you teach! I've been practicing this way nonstop along with spiderwalk exercises. GOD BLESS YOU! I hope you will show how to play When September Ends by Green day but the entire song
Thank you Mike, I’ve always wanted to learn how to play guitar. This past weekend I was able to get my first guitar, I decided on an electric guitar it’s so beautiful!!!
I’m in my mid 40’s, totally disabled... also I figured it’ll help me with my arthritis by building my hand muscles back up.
I was getting discouraged with my not so great playing then I saw this video of yours, I couldn’t believe it I was actually playing. You gave me hope knowing I can play even if it’s just a tad. I’m moving on to the second part. Thank you so much 😝🎸
Thanks for the great comment Sheila, I am so happy I could help you. Remember it is hard for everyone when they start out. Just take your time and build your speed and above all enjoy yourself.
I have created dozens and dozens of original songs playing this way. I never thought I would be able to play guitar, but playing in this way has enabled me to add guitar to my repertoire. So if anybody is feeling discouraged about learning guitar, I can confirm that it is possible to create music without having to learn how to play chords or use all of your fingers. I have been playing this way for about four years and this is the first time I have seen anyone else play this way. I don’t feel as much of a weirdo now. 😃
Thank you so much for sharing your story which has inspired me I am 58 and partially sighted and found this a perfect way of learning
@@paulcarter9446 I'm glad this is inspirational Paul. I am legally blind in my left eye (it is pretty much the same as peripheral vision) and there is no way I would be able to play normally. Playing with one finger works perfectly for me. I wish you great success in playing guitar. - Colin
That's awesome! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! I have this kids guitar sitting around collecting dusk and wanted to learn a little bit. You are an excellent teacher. Rock On!
I’m a beginner and I really enjoyed your lesson. Your teaching presentation was very helpful to me. I made some progress today, yay! and I’m very enthusiastic . Thank you!
Thanks Eta, glad it helped
Best guitar lesson ever!!💣❤️
LOVE YOUR VISUAL DETAILS ON YOUR LESSON. THANKS FRIEND
Great video for beginners. Thanks for sharing really cool stuff
This is the best guitar lesson that I've seen! This is exactly what I was looking for, 1 string simple songs, easy, I love it! Thank you so much! It was easy to learn and I knew the majority of the songs.😁
❤❤
Thank you Jenessa, glad you enjoyed the lesson
Can't put my guitar down now👍
Agreed/ love comment
I started out with these one finger one string songs too, nothing beats playing something and having it sound right for the first time! May I suggest, learning multiple strings and fingers, learn something you know by heart already,, I spent a lot of my first summer playing learning Christmas songs. That helped me a lot!!!
Just hands down one of the best guitar teachers I have ever seen
Great video! Very helpful!! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed the lesson.
I just wanted to say thank you your lessons are amazing everyone else makes it so complicated thank you
Thanks mate, glad I could help.
Always had a guitar laying around but could never play it, now i can! So happy with my progress in such a short space of time :) Rock on!
same
Same I'm only here because my niece got a guitar and I have a guitar sitting in my room my ex girl friend traded me because her hands were to small for the guitar and the funny thing is she got my guitar and my guitar is blue which is the same as my niece's Amazon haha
Im holding the guitar for the first time and I had no idea, that it can be such a fun. Thanks for this video. Watching it over and over again, slowly getting better. Very good motivation, finger up 👍
Thanks Monika, just take your time, you'll get there.
Such an awesome video! I picked it all up so quick!!
Great to hear. Thanks for the comment.
Wow. I actually have learned. 10/10 for you video mate. Xx✌️🥳
Excellent, I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson, don't forget to check out part 2 and 3
Afrer owning a guitar for 6 years I came across this video yesterday and today I played piece of my first song ever Mission Impossible.thanks man.
Thank you, I just played my first song on my guitar. I feel like a pro already.
lol
Ummm...NO.
@@runeplate123 leave them alone let them have their fun
yeah same here
@@runeplate123 no?? how're you gonna tell them "no" because they feel a certain way 🚶
Fantastic confidence builder. You really did a great job. Thank you so much!
Thanks man just what I was looking for!
No worries Jay, glad to help.
This was actually pretty cool to watch and learn from, im just starting on guitar and people are telling me I picked some things up pretty quick, thank you sir
No worries mate, thanks for the comment.
Thank you man! Made me feel like a pro allready😂
Great been hoping to do some of these, great songs and tunes. Cant wait to try.
Thanks Cheryl glad to help
Best guitar lesson ever!! Love your use of fret numbers to simplify notes. Thanks!!😎
Thanks mate, glad to help.
Woow you made it look Soo easy 💕 and you are such a humble down to earth teacher thought you were gone unleash the dark rock style on us leaving us wondering if we could ever get that good 🙏
Thanks Victor, hope you enjoyed the lesson.
I've just got a guitar this week and this has boosted my confidence!!
Same here really helped me
U still playing
Love this video mate
Man this awesome, thank you brother
You are the best!
Thanks man u really helped bc I have always wanted to learn a song but other UA-camr just move on without explaining and playing again
I’m so glad I found this, I’m knew to learning, I have a hard time remembering chords let alone transitioning . so just doing something simple like this that sounds like familiar music I know is really encouraging. This is great practice just to learn how to move up and down from fret to fret.
Thanks, just take your time and build your speed. You'll get there.
Glad ur still making videos. This was a great experience thank you!
Thanks mate, hope it helped
You are really great and awesome keep it up you will have what u deserve sir
thanks this helped loads is there a part two?
