I've started piano and guitar together. Piano I've had past experience with. So that's what I'm having weekly lessons with. Spend an hour day practicing from 7-8pm on piano. I'm not after learning very hard classical. Just want play main stream music. Songs like John Lennon imagine. Guitar is what self practice from like 9.30-10pm. Learn finger patterns for chords. Once I'm comfortable with piano and mainstream music or even movie soundtracks, then I'll spend 30mintues a day on piano. Then ab hour on guitar. Guitar will be my secondary instrument. Just because they're much more practical to take on trips etc.
I like this video, but my first impression is that voice training should be added to the list right after ear training, and before learning songs. Voice should be considered a second or third instrument, and practiced as much as the instruments so, if one feels the urge to accompany oneself, one is not embarrassed by big differences between vocal and other instruments. Yes, I am a fan of instrumental music, but a well-trained and well-practiced voice can be wonderful, too.
Thank you for this! I am a flutist but have been trying to practice on different instruments and this is so helpful for me balancing them all out. The part where you talk about how you apply what you know from one instrument to the next is such a good statement because I’ve played flute since I was 9, and learned how to play piano by ear significantly just from being able to play on flute. Now I’m trying to teach myself saxophone and taking what I know has been so helpful!
Just recently retired so I started piano about a month ago and guitar a couple of weeks ago. I am going to apply your advice to learning and practicing the same things on each instrument. Thank you!
I have been playing the drums for about 5 years, when I thought I was ready to join a band. But after being contacted, and making plans, I was immediately bailed on, every time. I couldn't find any consistency and I felt like I was the problem for the longest time. One day I realized that maybe I should just rely on myself instead. Hopefully in a few years I would be good enough to make my own song all by myself.
I play 3, violin, guitar, and piano/keyboard. I have practice sheets I fill out and also I use a egg timer to time myself! I also take 5 -15 minute breaks in between!
All intervals are the same for every instrument, learn your intervals and that will make it easy to learn any instrument almost as fast as you can make it sound a tone.
i want to schedule piano,guitar,uke singing and songwriting in a day can i get some tips ? by the way loved the video thankyou so so much and do we need to study music theory seperately if we r learning it with an instrument? thanks again :)
That depends on how much time you have :D What I'm doing is mostly working around a scale..so let's say I chose C-Major. I play the scale on piano, play the chords and their inversions and learn maybe a Song in that key. On guitar I do the same: Play scales and chords and a song in that key..The next day I chose a different scale and do the same. So your mind/memory gets trained as well. If you want to include all your topics I would split them to different days. I do songwriting mostly on weekends. Theory is awesome, but can be intimidating, so keep it at a small amount like scales and chords, and only move further, when you are fluent there.
i used to play keyboard when at school and later on i went to try piano and it was quite easy to get into as i had some experience already and it was just getting the left fingers to move more where as on keyboard i was so used to just chords all the time. but when i decided to try electric guitar, man that was confusing the way the fretboard works lol im still trying to get the hang of it now, i think guitar is harder to start on but piano/keyboard easier to start on.
i play bass and then transpose it using my amp sim and turn it into a guitar without the B and e string for which need to get a wow pedal to further transpose it an 8ve e
Learning piano and baritone ukulele. This helps because I love them both and I am a singer. Some songs sound better on piano. Question how do I substitute more complex chords for songs I like? Example in playing Hymns?
True..and it depends on what you want. If you want to be a great guitar or piano player you should focus on that instrument. But if you want to make your own music and be more versatile, learning to play other instruments is a good way in my opiniom. Although I learned, that many musicians stick to their group of instruments..I don't know any guitar player who learned the trumpet or flute :D
@@johannesmerten9068 I'm learning the guitar. Juat started. My plan is guitar piano and flute maybe alto saxophone in the end. ( one man band is my goal)
Oh you won't, its just similar, I play the guitar, and also have a Venezuelan cuatro, it's like a big ukulele, I don't confuse them at all, the feeling is completely different. Although the similarities made me an instant good ukelele player.
I don't think you will be confused, I learned guitar and bass and they complement each other, the frets work exactly the same way, you could even tune your ukulele in E A D G
Thanks for the video. I'm a little late to the party, but I have a question I am hoping you or someone here could answer. I have three instruments I would dearly love to learn how to play: guitar, bass guitar and the harmonica. My question is: Should I begin at the same time with all three, or start with one and get to a certain level before moving to the next? I guess I am asking if being an absolute beginner in all three at the same time is detrimental to my learning and practicing? Thanks in advance.
Should you literally start with both of them, or can you like start 6 months with guitar and then get a keyboard/piano...? Also which one would be better to start with?
Hard to say..for music theory I would go with the Piano first, because, since it's just horizontally, it's easier to learn..(imho) both require good hand coordination so you would benefit from either instrument. Start with the instrument you like more, and add the other one later on. I played guitar for 3 years before I started learning the piano, so there is no time limit.
since i started playing guitar and bass my overall knowledge has increased dramatically and i progressed on keyboards consequently.
I played the cello growing up. As an adult I couldnt figure out what I wanted to play/learn. This is great advice. Thank you!!!

Thank you for the feedback. I will talk about learning to sing in a future video.
"A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one."
This is some great advice. I'm learning guitar and I also want to learn bass. Thank you for this video!
Being my own band means I won’t have to relinquish any creative control 😂 excited to learn drums and bass
Very inspiring video
Great content, thanks!!

nice i might have the weirdest combo but want i want to learn both bass and banjo

Hey how's it been since then?
Very informative! Can wait to implement this into my routine.

Any recommendations on learning violin? Where to start? Good TH-cam channels to learn from?
How long have you been playing them for?
All intervals are the same for every instrument, learn your intervals and that will make it easy to learn any instrument almost as fast as you can make it sound a tone.
Amazing content, your video is the exact push I needed to get me started! Thank you 🎸
Glad to hear that, keep on going :D
Some good advice thank you
Good video! I am adding a recorder to my guitar practice. This is a confidence builder. Thanks!!!!!
Good deal
Love this video. Thank you for sharing your insights! I do feel a bit bad though, because I'm just a singer 😅
To be honest, do learn singing and playing an instrument is even harder :D And singing is a wonderful way to create music, so don't feel bad :)
Awesome content! Thank you very much, sir!

I’ll give you a tip space this stuff out for different days that’s possible but an unrealistic routine
Thanks!
Hey man, thank you for this video. Wanted to ask if learning different genres on both can affect progress?
Love From India ❤️

The saying is: Jack of all trades master of none though often time better than a master of one

Is it too ambitious to learn 3?
