I think once you can play ten songs (easy three four chord) you are no longer a beginner. But the road from intermediate to pro is long. Keep adding one more song and one more chord, but learning bar and caged is the next level. Bar chords contain triads of caged chords that you eventually will use for lead outlining chord changes. One step at a time and enjoy the journey
Hey man love this video. Can you also put one such where you talk about intermediate to advanced please? You explanation is clean and clear. Thank you very much
As always, thank you. If any chance you could guide us to create a practice routine for late beginners / intermediate hobby guitarists, that would be awesome!
This video is gold. I think that we can add maybe one more thing to the topic and that is playing with other people. This days a lot of guitarists are just bedroom players and they are missing the important part which is exchanging ideas/knowledge with other musicians while jamming together.
Andrew, By now I have spent 5+ hours, perhaps even 10 hours, researching how to gauge if I am an intermediate guitarist. Your video is concretely, one of the best. You have listed 10 quantifiable skills that can be mastered. Great stuff. The only two things I would add would be: 1) An intermediate guitarist can read sheet music and play a song quickly. 2) An intermediate guitarist can jam with other intermediate guitarists reading sheet music. I'm not an expert. I am an advanced beginner who has practiced/played 180+ days in a row. Your video is valuable, glad I found it on TH-cam. I do hope my feedback was useful. Thanks Again for Your Video.
What a great video, Andrew. I especially love number 10. That's not advice you hear a lot of teachers give. I'm entering my intermediate phase and this was a great way to recap everything I've learned so far. I can't wait to see your channel blow up bigger than it is. You're really a great teacher, probably one of the best I've seen on youtube. The way you explain concepts is unparalleled. Keep up the good work!
i was taught WITH the stop/start method. they told me practice makes permanent so i shouldn't get into the habit of playing sloppy. if you mess up substantially practicing at home, you're better off just going back because there are a few songs that i was learning back when i couldn't use my pinkie as much so i substituted my ring finger and now my muscle memory forces me to use my ring finger for those songs every time. if you stick with a "show must go on" mentality you're likely to start caring more about finishing the song rather than actually playing it correctly or making it sound good
So the metronome is my head is no good huh? Just joking around. I wish i had perfect rhythum. I think being a dancer since i was young has helped me with this. Thanks for the video.
Are there actually people out there that are “scared” of music theory. It’s seems every single one of the thousands of TH-cam videos, as soon as the speaker says the word “theory” they have to immediately give a disclaimer. It literally means knowledge. I don’t get what the drama is.
Thanks to things like Tabs, you can get a really long way without any theory. It's not so easy for other insturments where music theory is more mandatory. Because of this, guitarists tend to avoid it theory. I don't think there's a literal fear of it, but I know a lot of technically proficient players with years of experience who have stayed away from it. I was in bands and gigging regularly for years before I started learning theory and even though I felt pretty good about my playing, it allowed me to get over some pretty major plateaus.

According to this guy I’m more intermediate than beginner! Im trying to officially and confidently close the door on being a beginner. Good video!

Good idea! I'll work on a video. Thanks :)

i think that learning some basic scales (pentatonics for example) is important as well🙂. Thanks for the video
music theory essentials, basically
This video is gold. I think that we can add maybe one more thing to the topic and that is playing with other people. This days a lot of guitarists are just bedroom players and they are missing the important part which is exchanging ideas/knowledge with other musicians while jamming together.
Absolutely! And that might just be the topic of an upcoming video 😏
I think going to open mic's and jams is essential to progress, if for inspiration if nothing else

Thanks Again for Your Video.
I appreciate that! Though, I'd disagree on the two points you mentioned since those depend entirely on what your goals are as a guitar player.
What a great video, Andrew. I especially love number 10. That's not advice you hear a lot of teachers give. I'm entering my intermediate phase and this was a great way to recap everything I've learned so far.

Totally! Number 10 is something I learned too late for sure. And I really appreciate the kind words. Cheers! ☺
I didn't start learning music theory until I had played guitar for a few years. Learning how keys and scales work has been so helpful for me.
Totally. Learning some theory made a massive difference in my playing.
Can you do a video for strumming exercises so we can build on the rhythm video from 2 months ago.
Good idea! In the meantime, I have some more rhythm stuff in this video here: th-cam.com/video/wR6Z2RRfpRA/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much!
My master ❤
Good stuff Andrew. So helpful. We love you.
Happy I could help 😁🫶🏻
Thank you Andrew again for sharing important information
It's my pleasure 😊

That would totally help!
Another great lesson Andrew
Thanks for watching!!
You have a great content!! You should have a lot of subscribers!
Please do same CWM (worship)genre😊
Thank you so much!! I'll work on some CWM content. Cheers!
Awesome video.
Thank you!!
Great video, do you teach private lessons
Thanks! I don't teach private lessons at the moment. But do have a few more perks over on Patreon if that's helpful: www.patreon.com/AndrewClarke
Isn't this a earlier video. I mean you did this video.
Last year I made a video touching on 5 things. I felt like it was time for an update. :)
Yey im intermediate
Congratulations!
#10...lol!
Haha 😂 NO MORE MUSIC SNOBS!

he played for 10 years before learning theory - so he started playing in diapers - JK (Love your channel man - keep them comin')
Ahahaha 😂 I wish I started that young honestly 😅
