Hey buddy dont worry about it i did the same with the shittiest guitar and stiffest strings you can imagine, you had to press so hard and today after all those years i have lots of guitars and i have learned a lot
This is me... My teacher always wondered, why I turn the volume of the speaker down, even tho we were in a basement of a metal café and nobody would care, lol.
@@floydgtr Nope in german it's 'Doppelgänger'. Doppelganger is an actual english word, which means, that there is a person, that looks exactly like you. Example: Hey Dude, look! That person looks just as you, he's your doppelganger!
When I was learning guitar in high school, we had this hotshot kid who thought he knew everything. refused to do scales or anything theory related until the teacher basically told him to show her how it's done since he's already such a rock star. He did a couple sweeps(okayish sweeps) and the teacher responded by shredding her guitar. That day we all learned she used to be a lead guitarist for a small time metal band back in the 90s xD
I was in a guitar class for 6 years, and we hardly learned anything, just what frets are and how to play beginner songs, we didn't learn anything else. After that 6 years and the end of the classes, I quit guitar for 4 years and picked back up on it this year, I've learned so much more on my own than I did in that 6 years of classes
Around a decade ago, I inherited my brother's cheap acoustic guitar. Got a teacher, tried to learn over a year but we never clicked and I barely learning anything. After that teacher left due to lack of students and I didn't get another one. Once the high E snapped, I just got done with guitars. Fast forward in the future, got new strings buy haven't yet clicked yet because the cheapo guitar was fighting me. In the middle of covid, took it up again, went through the pain for the 3rd time, later upgraded to a nicer electric guitar and have progressed a lot with online lessons and TABs since then.
Bro same, my guitar teacher isn't rlly teaching me anything, i learn most of the stuff myself, he only prints out the sheet music and sometimes plays along💀
You forgot about the enthusiastic ones!! You know.. The ones that are like "TEACH ME ALREADYYY" and are like smiling excitedly through out the whole lesson... Also the fast ones who can master all bar chords in just 3 days or something
When I taught people, most of them just wanted to learn their favorite songs, and I thought they were dick heads. Until I remembered that I wanted to do the same thing.
I'm kind of the prodigy. My parents say I'm good but idk. I practice 30 hours a week and learn a couple of stuff every week and I keep going over a lot of stuff
I'm teaching this girl right now and ALL she wanted to talk about was when she could get a new guitar and what my recommendations were. In each hour long lesson she devoted at least a half hour to asking about my guitar, pedals, amp, picks, etc. Never mind that she literally couldn't strum a power chord yet. Within 4 lessons she had a new guitar. I figured, alright, her parents may be pushovers but at least we can get down to the lessons now...nope! She's waiting to get that Marshall amp and an overdrive pedal before she can play!
I was the “failed miserably” type. As a drummer, I was the kid who after 4 lessons was told, “their isn’t anything left for me to teach you. It’s like you had rhythm theory downloaded into your very being.” I’m not a prodigy, but I’m solid. I play by ear and feel and can’t read music. I’m also severely visually handicapped, mostly blind.
I'm basically all of them combined except for the "just borrow it" guy. I can't shred like "The Prodigy" but I definitely come up with good riffs, and that gets me constant praise from my lead guitarist, but then he gets disapointed that I don't realize I'm playing in 5/4 lol
I was the student that never practiced and because of that I am still playing at a beginner level 20 years later. Learn your scales kids. Everything goes back to the scales
I'm the self taught one who doesn't have any idea of chords, scales or theory in general. I just think of a song I like, see if I have the skill needed for that, and learn it with Guitar Tabs. My skill right now is in "Ready to die - Andrew WK" level. The next one is the "Misirlou - Pulp Fiction (clean notes)" level, which will be followed up by the "Man with the machine gun - Nobuo Uematsu" level. Expecting to be there by the next month.
I've had literally all of these except for the lunch one. Even down to the prodigy being worried about his picking and a simple little fix being what satisfied him
No option for "no self esteem, practices 5 times as much as recommended and still thinks they're terrible"? Cause that's every guitar player I've ever met. Maybe cause all my friends are introverted weirdos like me.

I was none of these.... I was the guy who came in with a list of songs I wanted to learn. Me and my teacher got along pretty good.... Actually come to think of it.. i was the guy who took liek 5 lessons then said "I got this on my own from now on". I didn't do them that often. Then i became a prodigy (in my head) having mastered The Basic chords then not playin guitar anymore as if I've mastered it and now I'm on to the next thing. I've always done that though..... Do a LOT of different things... get to an intermediate level... then completely quit doing it out of boredom and a sense of accomplishment enough for myself.
If I remember correctly... I practiced way too little. I was loaded with homework, and my job, so I had the bad habit of putting off practice until maybe the night before lessons or literally half an hour before :D
Just so you know, a lot of this applies to piano students too. (I do play guitar, entirely self-taught.) I took several years of piano and studied classical music composition in college, and today I consider myself a composer, not a performer. Anyway, before my first-ever piano lesson, I knew I wanted to play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, I just loved it so much. So I got a copy of the sheet music. I was able to figure out where all the notes are on the piano. It's pretty repetitive, and easy to play! So at my first piano lesson, I proudly played what I had taught myself over the prior week: the first page and a half of this masterpiece. My teacher said, "Very good, but... do you see those 4 sharps at the beginning of the piece? That's the key signature. It means each time you see one of those notes throughout, you have to play it sharped." In other words, I proudly played the Moonlight Sonata in C MAJOR instead of its intended key, C# minor. "Huh," I thought to myself, "so THAT'S why it sounded funny. I thought the piano was out of tune." You know, that classic telltale sign of a musician blaming not himself but his instrument. (Early starter, me.) Needless to say, when she made me switch to "Teaching Little Fingers to Play," I could no longer say "But I'm way too good for that!" (Felt it in my heart, though!)
I’m the “trying so hard to learn a single Petrucci solo, and ignoring practicing my scales” Like I’m good at guitar but god Petrucci solos are beyond me.
Sided stepped the pentatonic, with making them learn all the inversions of their minor/majors/dom7/maj7/min7/9ths/maj9/min9/diminished and suspended up the neck vertically and horizontally , and heavy focus on intervals, so that when they learn the pentatonic scale and arpeggios they look at it in much deeper detail. Learning to solo two notes to three notes at a time and more up into using the full major scale patterns.
Had a teacher. Ended up scamming me since he refused to teach and only complained that I Couldn't play. 9 years later of self practice and im cleaning up pantera's solos lol. Still cant figure out the solo to sweet child o mine though, what an existence.
I was a sleeping in kind of student. I was literally sleeping 🤣 My teacher was really talented as a guitarist but I was bored of his way of teaching and for the most part he gave me lessons on blues and jazz while my way was to rock it all the way. He still managed to teach a lot to me though, I kinda regret that I didnt spent more effort to learn more from him. He was a Factory worker at that time while gambled money to be a professionalist guitarist and nowadays he's one of the best amongst my country's Jazz Professionalists. He literally made what he was aiming for. Don't be like me as a kid and be eager to learn, even if there are differences in your likes of music.

Sided stepped the pentatonic, with making them learn all the inversions of their minor/majors/dom7/maj7/min7/9ths/maj9/min9/diminished and suspended up the neck vertically and horizontally , and heavy focus on intervals, so that when they learn the pentatonic scale and arpeggios they look at it in much deeper detail.
Learning to solo two notes to three notes at a time and more up into using the full major scale patterns.
nick legit seems like a great teacher
I learn by myself cause I'm afraid of unconsciously falling in these mistakes lmao
Had a teacher. Ended up scamming me since he refused to teach and only complained that I Couldn't play. 9 years later of self practice and im cleaning up pantera's solos lol. Still cant figure out the solo to sweet child o mine though, what an existence.
His voice sounds like colby from sam and colby
Omg! He does!!
I was a sleeping in kind of student. I was literally sleeping 🤣 My teacher was really talented as a guitarist but I was bored of his way of teaching and for the most part he gave me lessons on blues and jazz while my way was to rock it all the way. He still managed to teach a lot to me though, I kinda regret that I didnt spent more effort to learn more from him. He was a Factory worker at that time while gambled money to be a professionalist guitarist and nowadays he's one of the best amongst my country's Jazz Professionalists. He literally made what he was aiming for. Don't be like me as a kid and be eager to learn, even if there are differences in your likes of music.
