      Dude I remember trying to play Smoke before I knew what power chords were. I had no clue what I was doing. Fast forward 2 weeks and the next time I tried to play it, I did it almost perfect lol. And I didn't even learn power chords in between. By that time, I just kinda understood what I was looking at on the tab so I did it. 🤷‍♂️ It was quite a difference from the first time I tried to play it 2 weeks prior lol!

      DrDope164 Pedals are dope, but it’s a very slippery slope to eating up your bank account. Personally I think it’s best to start with an all in one digital pedal, that way you can get a hundred effects in one.... then if you REALLY want a specific sound that you cant find on a standard list, then acquire add-ons

    • @philidor9657

      I think I must have been taking for granted my prior musical experience from before I really picked up a guitar. Once he played the riff, even as a beginner guitarist or even as a straight up beginner musician, I wouldn't need him to be spelling out every single fingering and string to hit. It would come easy enough with a push in the right direction. So I was watching this like "WTF its not that hard even as a beginner!", but like I said its good to remember that I was never a "true" beginner on guitar, and people have different experiences than myself especially a non-musician. Music is hard, man. And it makes me appreciate how far I've come even if I still suck, and makes me appreciate how wide of a spectrum music is on. And that everyone has a different natural talent for it but still everyone can play if they try :)

      G especially is a hard one to get at first, at least in my experience. Lots of notes being fingered at once and that stretch from the 1st to 6th string (especially in the shape where the ring finger is on the low e and the pinky on the high e) was always hard for me to nail on the first go. Good choice for a song to help get past all that

      Heart shaped box is the 4th song that I learned and when you learn the playing guitar you should learn a special order to be faster.
      (In my opinion)
      First rockabilly and classic rocknroll
      Then punk
      Then alternative/grunge
      Then rocknroll (like barracuda and achy breaky heart) and country
      Than metal.

    smells like teen spirit was my first riff ever actually, and thats what I thought you were going for! Then I realized palm muting is actually more difficult for new players than I remember.

    @NOLASkaGuitarist 3 роки тому +12

    I teach guitar for a living. This riff can sometimes be a little tough for beginners because it is a little more rhythmically complex than other riffs. It picks up (doesn't start on the downbeat of 1) on the offbeat of 3 and is more syncopated than lets say smoke on the water, brain stew, peter gunn, etc. Also the first Nirvana song everyone learns is "Smells Like Teen Spirit" because you can teach a beginner just the root notes for the starting riff (and then build on the song later when they learn power chords) and also show them the easiest verse in music history with the same two notes repeated over and over.
