I played in a five chord punk band as a teenager and bass in another band but I really had no idea what I was doing. I picked up the guitar again at 50. I am now 56 and finally sort of understand the fretboard. I'm still crap but knowing what I'm doing is satisfying 😊
I think the secret is managing focussed, good quality practice. Certainly for me I can focus for 5/10 minutes and often then things go downhill again. What worked for me when I was an absolute beginner was 2 or 3 of these short sessions each day. You’ll also not ruin your finger ends that way! Videos like this are useful for beginners because they show that it does take time and perseverance
When I started watching I was confused. I thought I stepped into an alternative universe where Elmo is left handed and didn't know how to play. Uff! 😮💨 What a relief.
Yeah, that would be like learning all over. Geesh. Good video. I hope youre well my friend. Man, Temmu is killing it with Megadeth! He is so good man. Must be something in the water in Finland 😂... Take care sir. ❤
Justin learned to play left handed and used it to revise his beginner lessons He was surprised how difficult some of the things he included in the beginner courses were and made allowances for it in the rates of progress etc.
Hello :] ive been watching your videos about guitar recommendations and ill probably buy the Ibanez 121SP soon! i was just wondering if you have any thoughts on the Harley Benton 446, its 100€ cheaper and ive heard many reviewers say good things about it, i was just wondering if the Ibanez is 100€ better in terms of quality, thanks :]

I'll be launching a beginner course there hopefully pretty soon.

Also, you get better at focusing over time.
