A little constructive criticism that I find as a beginner trying to learn with ZERO knowledge frustrating when trying to watch a video and learn. We are highly focused on what your fingers are doing and where your fingers are. You start with a close up and then pan to full screen and we lose focus on what you're doing. Our brain has to refocus and quickly try and catch up. Your demeanor, voice and knowledge is what draws me to watch your videos but as a BEGINNER there is a lot of extra knowledge thrown in that heightens the confusion. It may pertain to this video more than others only because I clicked on it because of the caption focused towards beginners. I can only imagine the amount of work that goes into editing a quality video and I GREATLY appreciate your time and effort. I'm constantly searching for the K.I.S.S. video. This may seem confusing to read If so I apologize, I'm trying to explain with ZERO knowledge lol I love your videos I'm just trying to give you my perspective as a beginner. Thank you.
Man I appreciate it. Thanks for the feedback jeff
Bro hit you with the "k"
It's because there's no information how to work with hands. For beginners i mean.
Ours fingers are linked between ich other. And we mast to unlink it.
It good practice, but without music theory it's useless, because you can't apply it in the future.
A new channel for guitar lessons.
I've just bought a guitar.
Perfect timing!
Please just continue the lesson!
perfect timing indeed. def gonna continue!
As a keyboard player, who just started noodling around on the guitar for the first time in nearly 10 years, I appreciate the practice tips. I totally dig your approach, and will start using this method. Thanks!
dude thank you! you really have an advantage starting from keys. makes way more sense than a guitar fretboard, haha.
When doing the spider… try to not lift your fingers off the board. Also alternate pick…… up down up down…..
Wished I had UA-cam when I've started trying to play. I'm trying hard with the finger methods, but that is difficult now since I've never used 4 fingers to play the mayor and minor scales. But I'll do my best I'm sure it's never to late. No easy but possible. Thanks for the effort you put in.
Definitely never too late! Just takes practice. Learning to use the pinky was super awkward for me in the beginning. If you think about it, we don’t really use the pinky for anything else in our day to day lives, so that muscle isn’t very developed. Just need to start working it out. You could even take that 1st exercise and just pinpoint the pinky and maybe try going fingers 3&4 up and down the neck to work it out for starters
Cool exercises, I'm coming back to my guitar after some time of not playing it at all and a back to basics is what I was looking for. Thanks.
Thanks Javier! Glad it helped

Where can i find these minor scales with tabs to practice?
I’m going to be making a PDF with the tabs for the exercises in this video soon. I’ll add minor scales to it too! I’ll reply to you here when it’s ready
@thetalenthousetx thank you, that would be awesome
Sir, does it also aapliable on acoustic guitar?
Yes!
i think one of the fastest way for a beginner to learn all notes on guitar is simply by understanding the musical alphabet which is simply a to g and it repeats.. and knowing that all notes except E and B have sharps.if you know this and the name of the strings..E..A..D..G..B..E you can learn all notes on your first day in about 5 minutes. Here is a fast example..if you pick your A string open . that of course is your A note..but when you fret the A string on the first fret this is now A_sharp.next fret over is now a B when fretted.and knowing that B doesnt have a Sharp then you will automictically know that if you fret the next fret that will be a C note right?.see how it simply follows the musical Alphabet? do this with every string and you will know thew notes in 5 minutes.
YES. this is gold. i 100% agree. and it's so funny that you say that because I'm literally working on a video right now that explains that exact thing, haha. It'll be video #5. Very well said, thanks!
Supercool…u made my day…..abo done……pdf would be great
thank you! great idea.. i'll create one and put a link in the description soon. i'll reply here when i do
My guitar don’t sound like that😅
🤣
! Spider pattern ! Mmmm that’s me off then ! This was being pushed in the 90s
Nope.
😮/😬😳
Not easy for beginners like me
start with the first one for now, just going up (1 2 3 4), from the low E string to the high E string. do it slow and focus on getting every note to come out clear. once you can do that consistently, try the 2nd half of the exercise (going in reverse - 4 3 2 1). same thing there, then put them together and do the whole thing once you get that. if it's too much of a stretch, you can start higher up on the neck for now, like starting on the 5th or 7th fret for example. once you can go up and down and all the notes are coming out clear every time, then try to put it with a metronome and work on keeping the timing consistent. I would just work on this exercise for a while before even looking at those other ones. this is a good place to start.
