This video here gives you a quick and easy way of having fun playing guitar, without knowing how to play guitar. It's exactly what you need in the beginning to get into it. There will be always more time to learn everything by the book afterwards.

      Being a guitar instructor doesn't mean showing off. They should first cover the basics for their students not to be overwhelmed and feel that guitar is hard to play. When the teacher show off, the tendency is that the student would ask the teacher "how to play that?" and end up frustrated because he/she cannot do does things.

      I've always enjoyed watching a guitar instructor throw in a few burst of freestyle- I find it inspiring, I see how powerful a musician is, and his skill, and I see what is definitely doable. He, is teaching me...the person who can do that, it makes me know I will be able to do the same, as I am being exposed to his style. Idk, to dislike your teacher for ultimately showing you what he can do- for enjoying playing his instrument, instead of appreciating his music, is kind of just basic jealousy to me...

    @LazloArcadia 10 місяців тому +12

    As a beginner myself, the one warning I'd put out there to other new students is if you decide that you are going to play a lot in the very beginning you will quickly see why everyone says "5 minutes a day" and similar recommendations. Your fingers will hurt like hell and even blister (this is especially true with electric guitar) if you are trying to do long practice sessions at first. You need to allow yourself the time to build up calluses on your fingertips. This usually takes a couple of weeks. This was a surprisingly painful lesson I learned myself and thought I'd pass on!

Play every day for five years, you'll be able to shred. Don't play every day, no play, no shred. One month, one year, fives years will pass one way or the other. SO, freaking play and in a year or so you'll be the Golden God of guitar playing. Just like everything in life, do. And jump in over your freakin head. Do.

    Got my guitar like 10 years ago but never took it seriously and stopped playing. Came across your vids a couple days ago and got excited to pick it up again and actually learn. Got my guitar and amp out of storage and had a buddy properly set it up for me, now I'm good to go!

    When I was learning guitar and first heard "palm muting" I thought my teacher said "Paul muting" and I thought a legendary guitar player named Paul created this super cool technique and then I realized it was palm because.... you use your palm.....
    Anyways yeah I was disappointed that paul wasn't real

  • @miked7295
    @miked7295 5 років тому +18

    To all the beginners at @5:10, There are two frets between each note, excepts the B and E. So for example the A string goes like this: A, Asharp, B, C, Csharp, D, Dsharp, E, F, Fsharp, G, Gsharp, A, etc. And the E string goes like this: E, F, Fsharp, G, Gsharp, A, Asharp, B, C, Csharp, D, Dsharp, E, etc.
    Since the top string is an E, which doesn't have a sharp note, the first fret is an F. The A string, however, goes to an A sharp on the first fret.
    See it as a piano, sometimes there isn't a black key to the right of the white one, that means that's a B or an E.
    Once I learnt this, the guitar made alot more sense.
    Sorry if I don't make sense, am a bit drunk. But if you need some explanation about the basics, just ask. I'll try :)

    • @kalebbrown3013
      @kalebbrown3013 9 місяців тому +1
