Most chords on guitar are pretty hard to finger. Some just seem easy because we learn them first and they seem common. Eb7b9 is easier to finger than a root 6 bar chord (if you play all the notes including the 5th on the top)
Having learnt another instrument really helps. I’m also a violinist and I used to frequently pick up random instruments and play melodies. If you can understand how the tones and semitones on a particular instrument works, it’s not too difficult to play melodies.
Larrenz !! Nah, perfect pitch is the ability to hear or sing a note and identify it without any reference. You don’t need perfect pitch to work out how to play new instruments. You can do it probably without relative pitch even but I think a lot of good violinists will develop a decent level of relative pitch. As well, perfect pitch isn’t some magic skill that will make you good at music either. I have a friend with perfect pitch and she didn’t find it easy to learn the violin or new instruments or even do things like melodic dictation (writing a melody out on paper just by listening).
The advantages you have over most beginners is already having calloused fingertips, knowing theory, ear training and a passion for music. As a guitarist I was a little jealous of your progress😂 I bet if you put in the time, you would surpass my 10 years in 1 year.
You're right! Although his right hand technique wasn't the best, he really nailed that solo and those arrangements, I've been playing guitar for 5 years and he already surpassed me lol. This is a genuine passionate musician.
@@nuclearllama7239 i agree but i still believe that 13 years worth of training in violin is still better than 10 years of guitar training and that no one really has the right to complain nor should they compare themselves to this guy.
It looks like it’s a player series though judging by the sticker, so it’s one of Fender’s most affordable guitars (around $700 - $800) but it is still definitely not bad for a beginner.
Ethan Elliott Fender player series is not a bad guitar even for an experienced guitarist. I own many guitars.. 4 of them being fender strats, everything from my $4k custom shop to American standard, to my most recent purchase of a player series strat. I was extremely impressed with the quality and feel of it right away, I’ve since modded it to be a proper gig setup but I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for an incredible instrument on a budget.
For those discouraged, getting good at the guitar is a combination of having the physical strength/dexterity to make certain sounds, and then having the understanding of what sounds go well together, rhythm, etc. This guy already had all of the musical knowledge (and more), incredible dexterity in his left hand, and excellent sense of rhythm in his right hand. Notice by the end he stuck to playing one note at a time as opposed to playing chords (avoiding barres entirely) and stuck to picking instead of strumming. For newbies you've got to build up all of these connections from scratch, don't be disheartened!
True I've been playing for 2 months and I'm actually pretty decent. Was really bad when I first started, now I Can play Nothing Else Matters by Metallica. 16 yrs old and never played an instrument before now. 😅
Self taught and all i can say is yes hes good at starting guitar hes not a good beginner lol he played a violin which is structured a lot like guitar neck strings theory and all that, now it would of been something if he started playing an instrument completely different, like drumming ha
@@corricoco2472 haha it’ll go away eventually. You’ll develop calluses. Sometimes after you develop them however they may hurt but that could just be a sign to take a break!
If anyone out there is discouraged by how fast he picked this up, just remember that he already knows music theory. Which, regardless of the instrument, really makes it that much easier to learn any instrument you play. If you don’t know theory it’s obviously going to be more difficult. Don’t give up! :)
This comment is kinda stupid. Music theory doesnt helps you developing technique. He might had his left hand trained, but not his right hand. Do you even play guitar?? If you do so, try flipping your guitar, by side. Try to pick with your left hand for a week, if you are right handed. That would be pretty much of the same as him. I'll see you in 1 week, lets see if you can play well as that.
@@istanbulmetrosu2485 it’s not stupid to assume that somebody who is well versed in music theory already on a STRINGED INSTRUMENT would be able to pick up another STRINGED INSTRUMENT quicker than somebody who isn’t. Your comment is stupid. And I’ve played guitar for 10 years, can I play left handed? Yes, but not very well. And I’m not posting a video because I don’t have to prove shit to you. The techniques between violin and guitar are different yes, but to sit there and actually think a professional level violinist wouldn’t be able to learn how to play a guitar quicker than people who have never played is downright ignorant.
@@TheDude044 I know that his left hand is trained. My point was his right hand. 1 week isnt enough for picking. People struggle with alternate picking for months. Also its not normal how clean his picking is, for a 1 week player. I didnt say a shit about his left hand, and yes cause of it is trained with violin, he can get it way more faster than anyone else. But his right hand... You dont have to prove me anything. I never asked for that. I could go try it myself. Just wanted to let you see how hard is it to get picking in a week. It took months to get rid out of sloppy, unclean playing and muting other string. His fingers might be trained yes, but guitar has so many different techniques, only with left hand. Have you seen how relaxed he is with the guitar? The way hes holding it, finger positioning, etc... Even from the very first time he hold the guitar. You should be wayy more uncomfortable with it, when you play violin for 13 years. Also, those slides was way good for a begginer, imo. Not like he cant do it, yes he cant, but not for the reason you are thinking right now. Your fingers blisters. Do you remember the first time you picked up a guitar? They hurt. You wont be able to play for days because of the pain. Even in the first day. But he seems like he already has that hard fingertips to do those slides.
@@TheDude044 Also, yes he can learn faster than a normal person, but, 1 week isnt enough, that was my point. Randomly swearing on people because they didnt had the same opinion as you? So cool, dude.
Left hand looks like he’s been playing guitar all his life, strumming hand looks like he’s never seen a guitar being played in all his life... crazy progress though, guy could be a pro guitarist if he worked on the wrist action of his picking hand for a week
I think one of the perks of starting off acoustic is when you play notes the wrong way you can't immediately mute the strings to hide it (like he did a few times here.) It forces you to go back and learn why you strummed it/fretted it wrong and then your ears start helping you correct the issues. That was one of the worst beginner problems I kept hearing on the pieces. Still sounds great for a week only though! I hope he keeps playing some guitar too--it's fun to see his progress.
@@teamrockettes That's also why my guitar teacher got me to start playing classical with overdrive... You need to play as clean as possible with all that noise so perfect technique is a must!
Hey future new guitarist, don't compare yourself to this week of practice. If you are starting from scratch the progress is slower don't be discouraged, you can have fun quickly and that's the important thing, then get some skill with time.
Exactly, when I first learned drums, it went really quickly because I already had a sense of rhythm and knew a fair bit of music theory, so I could focus on actual drum skills instead of trying to understand time signatures and counting
its interesting how he is so concentrated on his right hand with the pick and he already just knows what to do with the other hand because of the violin.
@@winstoncarter2119 It does, I played violin for 6-7 years, like what monster said, the left hand transfers really really easily but the right takes so much more work. But it doesn’t work the other way around, going from guitar to violin is much much harder as its fretless and also needs a bow.
@@winstoncarter2119 I played guitar, ukulele, and bass for a few years before playing the violin. I finished some of the basics in 1 day what beginner violinists can do in a week. It translates very easily
@@quinreimer5906 which one is the cheater version? the one where you use multiple fingers on the third fret? Because that one just makes more sense and is more comfortable - why not use it?
@@dannyffff1299 i have been playing guitar for two years now and i know lots of songs but anthything of music theory, i will try to learn some basic things, because mi teacher says it is so much easier to learn guitar of you know music theory
Andre the video has no cuts, that’s true. It’s the audio that’s edited. It’s not well synchronized with the video. He clearly recorded various takes and then put them together in one audio file and synchronized with the video of probably his best execution. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still remarkable his progress in one week, but that solo does seem edited to me. I could be wrong, of course.
You're right! I thought his skill that translated over well from violin to guitar was actually the sliding (or changing positions) and vibrato. Which are a violinist's bread and butter.
The solo he did is from the original video that the backing track was from which I’m pretty sure was neo soul in 7 stages. Like it’s an exact cover but it’s still very impressive
I've been playing violin for 7 years. This summer I picked my brother's acoustic guitar out of boredom and tried to play any random Taylor Swift song. My strumming pattern was horrible but I didn't struggle with chords that much, after like one hour I played All Too Well pretty decently. So I believe him :P
This young man shows the benefits learning one instrument gives you in learning a new instrument. Plus he has built up that work ethic over the years. Just like learning a second language helps you learn a 3rd and 4th language.
@@myzaluna Don't totally agree with you. When he says to himself 'feel the string' that is the sort of thing that goes beyond music theory. But I appreciate your reply.
Can't believe it.i just can't. i have been playing guitar for 6 years and just for a couple of days he can solo and compose some songs. props to you man. FUN FACT!: if you the TheDoo also played violin when he was little. so i think the equation to being good at guitar is Great at Violin = Great on Guitar
just dive in to theory man you'll get the hang of it in a few months and you'll start connecting stuff and be able to write your own shit. Try improvising over a backing track that helps a lot as well. :)
Actually, as a violinist this makes a lot of sense. For better or worse the benefits of a quality instrument while learning is highly emphasized as it helps set up proper technique for the rest of your life. A mediocre violin can make learning so much harder! (I'm not a guitarist, so I have no idea how true that is for guitars, but that's how our brains think.) Also our concept of expensive instruments is pretty skewed, lol.
@@lynettes2796 It applies mostly in terms of how it's setup. If you level, crown, and polish the frets on a cheap guitar and give it a good setup it becomes a really good place to start learning.
@@lynettes2796 idk, but theres a very low chance a person can go from learning nothing to start playing jazz chords, and nailing scales within a week. I am a violinist who learned the guitar too, and the hardest part was the amount of stretch ur fingers have to do, compared to a violin, and that took me a while to get used to. Fingertip conditioning also is different compared to violin, cause the strings are under more tension than a violins. He should've at least mentioned that his fingertips were sore or something, cause even mine slightly were although I'm a violinist. I don't believe that the dude never played a guitar before.
U weren’t sitting right with the guitar ur supposed to tilt the head of it up more so ur not bending over as much which is why it hurt ur back Don’t just strum or pick downwards go like up too Jeez ur good
no, unless you're playing classical guitar its fine to have the neck horizontal. most new players have bad posture for a while. and the strumming pattern really just depends on the song
ofc he's good. he was a violinist moving to an electric guitar. despite hurdles to overcome on the guitar, they are nothing he can't get through with a bit of focus.
He obviously didn’t. This is more so a couple months worth of progress for a natural so I refuse to believe he could go from never touching a guitar to playing that well in a week
@@vickieg9176 anyone who does the research would know that even then there would still be a transitional period. If you look up instruments similar to violin the guitar isn’t one of them. This man would have to be the most talented player in the world to be able to solo a instrument he’s never touched in a week of playing. Also the day by day progress in the video doesn’t even make sense. He went from picking a few chords horribly to full on soloing in like 3 days...bullshit.
@Serial Momma exactly my point violin and guitar are too different and for anyone to just switch over and master one in a week is complete and utter bs. And the people saying well he played for 13 years don’t understand the concept of the instruments having vast differences.
@@herewegoagain7403 It is absolutely impossible to play this well in one week lol are you guys kidding me? You think a violin player makes it easier to just hop on a guitar and do lead lines like this so cleanly or chord changes so quickly yet cleanly? It is impossible. This guy is trolling all of you and it's sad to see you fell for it. I am a guitarist who practiced for almost 6 hours a day for years (Yes I know individual people learn faster or slower) I know what it takes and it certainly doesnt take just a week to solo. If he played a cello this well after a week it is quite easy to believe but not a dam guitar, sorry.
@@allexfenty lol. i'm sorry, no disrespect but you're absolutely wrong. You know how I know this is real? He started playing scales first instead of your typical wonderwall songs LOL. you can clearly see he has a strong music theory background, which most beginners like yourself/self-taught.... don't have that fundamental. Plus you can see the piano in the background, so he plays that and violin as well as 13 years of training WITH a music teacher. His leads are a combination of scales, simple arpeggios, riffs etc in a key. it's not that hard, quite easy if you understand theory. Yes, it is absolutely hard to pull off in a week but this isn't impossible, especially for someone who has music knowledge for 13yrs. if he didn't mention that, i'd call bs as well, but this is credible. sorry you feel that way and have tons of doubts, but I do buy it lol
@@joshuapineda386 yea, i saw some of that in some classical guitar playing, I mean, if it is Electric guitar, what's the point of doing wrist vibrato? 😅 I think there's another technique for that, right? Not with wrist vibrato at least
bro dw this is cuz he has background in violin playing, which is mainly single note lines. He understands how notes work and how to find them around the fretboard (that's also why his right hand technique and chords are kinda eh, cuz those those aren't really a part of a violin playing)
I can clearly see that you’re fingering hand really helped That you played violin before for as the problem of every guitar beginner is the finger coordination.But you mostly skip that step because of your violin. Mad respect to you for your impressive improvement.if you do continue as a side instrument you should look at your right hand picking with up and down strokes to ease the playing. if you do that you your already on a way to an good guitarist Edit just noticed this dude SWEEP PICKED AT DAY 7 8:18
If you're this comfortable with stringed instruments you should try the bass guitar eventually. It was designed by Leo Fender and made so session guitarists could learn to easily play it. A looper pedal would help create more interesting music. Also jamming tracks (Elevated Jamming tracks TH-cam channel) really help it's like have a band in your headphones and you can practice with them anytime.
I've been playing guitar for 1-2 months and my goal is to be as skilled as you after one week hahaha. Amazing progress, absolutely inspiring!! I hope you keep at it, you already seem like an amazing musician all around.
@@aspart2842 right i know how to play the violin, viola, piano, and ukulele at a reasonable difficulty all around 5-7 years and i’m getting my first electric guitar soon.
It would take an absolute beginner probably AT least several months to a year to play what you did in 7 days! I guess there were many basic concepts and techniques there were transferable from the violin to the guitar. It was very interesting to watch!
I really want to believe this is 7 days progress. I really do. Without question, there are transferable skills from violin to guitar, making it possible to learn quite specific things very quickly. But I dunno. My instinct is there's a little too much technique going on here to trust that only one week was involved :)
but of course man. if you can play fast classical musci on violin how can you be total crap on a guitar? took some days to calibrate and as the guys does, at least be good at legato. alternate picking, sweep picking and stuff.. well.. good luck.
I tried learning the violin in a week: I learned to crack windows... EDIT: so like, there are some very good advice in the reply section if you are a beginner in the violin, you can check it out! :)
@@elliedayon4569 woaw there, that's epic!!! Vibrato already? Wow, I'm into the violin for about a month now and I can't do anything close to vibrato, that's seriously cool, and yes, indeed very inspiring :)
Ellie Hanazono Careful not to run before you can walk 😅 Vibrato is fun but just be careful you don’t develop any nasty habits and make sure you have your intonation in check before adding vibrato - from violin teacher
@@J1Bigtime oh ok thanks for your advice, I am really having a hard time learning the violin and what steps should I take next so after learning the notes and scales on the violin, I decided learning the vibrato, lmao hahaha, could you tell me more advice??? Thank you!💕
@@krithikarajendrakumar1495 I memorized the notes fast because I've been playing piano for 8 years, then I decided to hop in to learning the vibrato,,,haha
3:00 I'm not that far into the video yet, but anyone that decides to pick up a new instrument, or one in general, don't get frustrated. You're not gonna be great right off the bat. the satisfaction on his face on the last section is great.
Violin is harder because there is no fret marks so you have to "feel" the correct position which gives you better feel for the string. And he obviously is very strong in understand music theory that's why he can learn solo real fast.
I'm trying to play slide on guitar, and it's so hard to get the intonation right. I was just wondering how hard it must be to play a fretless instrument like a violin. Guitar is so easy in comparison.
@@salildeshpande7 I believe slide is still quite easier in comparison. I'm not nearly decent at playing slide, but when I try I use the frets as a reference to where it should go. Cannot do that on a fretless instrument.
@@kostantinos2297 At one point you shouldn't look at the fretboard, though. It mess up your posture and your neck. So yeah, we feel the fretboard and the notes too, it's just getting used to.
@@SubNorm4L Good point. I don't have to do that normally but when practicing slide I do. Still, you can take glances at the fretboard if you need to, or use the dots on the side. Obviously though, that's not something to rely heavily on.
@@SubNorm4L And just to clarify, I'm not denying that a slide player won't need to develop a keen ear and accurate touch for the notes they play. But the guitar makes it a bit easier to find your way around the fretboard, at least to someone who's a beginner at slide (like me).
Here's the deal. To be honest, most electric guitars are waaaayy more easy to learn than acoustic ones. It actually feels softer compared to acoustic guitars.
acoustic guitars are easier since you dont have to worry about accidently touching the wrong string and making the whole guitar make sound. Only thing more difficult about acoustics is you have to press slightly harder which isnt really that big of a deal unless you are a complete beginner.
It's annoying all the people who think he is lying about never having played guitar. They don't know what they're talking about. The mechanics of playing the violin and the guitar are practically the same, and the skills are entirely transferable. There are two big differences. One is the tuning -- a violin is tuned in fifths, and a guitar is tuned in fourths. But guitarists play frequently play in different tunings. It's not hard to learn a new tuning. The second is the sound generation mechanism. Guitar uses a pick. You CAN SEE him fumbling with picking, as you would expect. It's also believable that he can solo on a guitar, because he plays solo pop music on violin. He even does slides and hammer ons on the violin, already. Aside from the differences I noted about, it's the same. If you played classical and pop music on the violin for 13 years, you could play a decent guitar, too. Now it is easier to transfer skills from violin to guitar than from guitar to violin, because of the absence of frets on the violin. And bowing is a lot harder to learn than picking.
It’s fake. There are plenty of reasons, such as his left hand on violin is completely different than guitars left hand like the thumb but in seconds he got that perfectly, I know a few people who have played 20+ years and tried my guitar and can’t play scales like that. This is for views, not real.
@@liamfavre3547 I completely agree, there are multiple pieces of evidence leading to the conclusion that this is fake, this is over the course of months or he was pretending to be bad, he is still a great guitarist but this is not real, you people need to stop believing everything you see
@@liamfavre3547 bro the main difference is the lack of frets on violin, and that violin is tuned in 5ths, otherwise it's the same. The tuning difference u can see him struggle with at first, hence why he was playing happy bday and twinkle twinkle little star fine cuz it was on one string, whereas the moment he tried something that uses more than one string he messed up. As for having frets, that literlaly makes it even easier lol.
@@liamfavre3547 Yep, you're right, it's obvious. This is a great example of how gullible and easily mislead so many people are. It's a sad aspect of human psychology and the reason why in other contexts lots of people get hurt.
1:55 yeah my dad is a professional guitarist and a few months ago he took up violin. He already sounds like he’s been playing for a few years lol. He’s playing really damn fast and clean for a beginner
i sometimes play 4 hrs a day and if im diggin it i play for like 8hrs straight i dont know what he did tho, probobly played the guitar for the whole day
@@majorhippo2772 definitely. you know how long it takes to play chords that clean + he already hold the pick like he has been doing it for a long time. I play various instruments, and i call bullshit on this "one" week journey.
don't want to argue with anyone :) but I think he's just smart with the techniques he does which is cool. Plus, being passionate and happy about what you do really makes a big difference that's why he learns and improves real fast. we are just here to support and appreciate his works 😊
eon star no, in my opinion piano is more translatable to guitar than violin because of the dexterity needed in piano playing, improvisation, and visualization of scales from piano is easier to understand and transfer to other instruments in my opinion. I don’t know that much about violin but I do play guitar (mainly) and piano.
Joao Moreno it’s ok this guy is insane he’s been playing violin for 13 years so a lot of things transfer over including theory and left hand coordination
Dude! It's fake! In a week you can't play like that! I'm guitarist, 11 years of experience! He knows a lot about being a violinist, but I know because my girlfriend has been a violinist for 15 years and she could never play guitar like that in a week. Violinists are good with notes, but they struggle with chords, and because they are used to the bow, they find it difficult to move the fingers of the right hand.
@@diegoalonsomorasoto293 true very true, alternate picking isn't something you learn overnight, hell i've been soloing with down strokes for months and some random violinist learns proper right hand techinque in a week?

Self taught and all i can say is yes hes good at starting guitar hes not a good beginner lol he played a violin which is structured a lot like guitar neck strings theory and all that, now it would of been something if he started playing an instrument completely different, like drumming ha

Has to do with his wrist orientation. Chords like D would be more comfortable for him at that angle
If he thinks g is hard he better wait for jazz chords
Yessss G is my favorite chord
@@ephemeral5075 my first chord was b7 man it feels so good
If anyone out there is discouraged by how fast he picked this up, just remember that he already knows music theory. Which, regardless of the instrument, really makes it that much easier to learn any instrument you play. If you don’t know theory it’s obviously going to be more difficult. Don’t give up! :)
And he also plays a stringed instrument for 13 years. Picking up a saxophone would be so much tougher for him, I guarantee.
This comment is kinda stupid. Music theory doesnt helps you developing technique. He might had his left hand trained, but not his right hand.
Do you even play guitar??
If you do so, try flipping your guitar, by side. Try to pick with your left hand for a week, if you are right handed.
That would be pretty much of the same as him.
I'll see you in 1 week, lets see if you can play well as that.
@@istanbulmetrosu2485 it’s not stupid to assume that somebody who is well versed in music theory already on a STRINGED INSTRUMENT would be able to pick up another STRINGED INSTRUMENT quicker than somebody who isn’t. Your comment is stupid. And I’ve played guitar for 10 years, can I play left handed? Yes, but not very well. And I’m not posting a video because I don’t have to prove shit to you. The techniques between violin and guitar are different yes, but to sit there and actually think a professional level violinist wouldn’t be able to learn how to play a guitar quicker than people who have never played is downright ignorant.
@@TheDude044 I know that his left hand is trained.
My point was his right hand.
1 week isnt enough for picking.
People struggle with alternate picking for months.
Also its not normal how clean his picking is, for a 1 week player.
I didnt say a shit about his left hand, and yes cause of it is trained with violin, he can get it way more faster than anyone else.
But his right hand...
You dont have to prove me anything. I never asked for that. I could go try it myself. Just wanted to let you see how hard is it to get picking in a week.
It took months to get rid out of sloppy, unclean playing and muting other string.
His fingers might be trained yes, but guitar has so many different techniques, only with left hand.
Have you seen how relaxed he is with the guitar?
The way hes holding it, finger positioning, etc...
Even from the very first time he hold the guitar.
You should be wayy more uncomfortable with it, when you play violin for 13 years.
Also, those slides was way good for a begginer, imo.
Not like he cant do it, yes he cant, but not for the reason you are thinking right now.
Your fingers blisters.
Do you remember the first time you picked up a guitar?
They hurt. You wont be able to play for days because of the pain. Even in the first day.
But he seems like he already has that hard fingertips to do those slides.
@@TheDude044 Also, yes he can learn faster than a normal person, but, 1 week isnt enough, that was my point.
Randomly swearing on people because they didnt had the same opinion as you?
So cool, dude.
Left hand looks like he’s been playing guitar all his life, strumming hand looks like he’s never seen a guitar being played in all his life... crazy progress though, guy could be a pro guitarist if he worked on the wrist action of his picking hand for a week
Fr tho
so true xD
I thought the same thing. It's pretty cool to see his progress.
I think one of the perks of starting off acoustic is when you play notes the wrong way you can't immediately mute the strings to hide it (like he did a few times here.) It forces you to go back and learn why you strummed it/fretted it wrong and then your ears start helping you correct the issues. That was one of the worst beginner problems I kept hearing on the pieces. Still sounds great for a week only though! I hope he keeps playing some guitar too--it's fun to see his progress.
@@teamrockettes That's also why my guitar teacher got me to start playing classical with overdrive... You need to play as clean as possible with all that noise so perfect technique is a must!
Hey future new guitarist, don't compare yourself to this week of practice. If you are starting from scratch the progress is slower don't be discouraged, you can have fun quickly and that's the important thing, then get some skill with time.
Hey, I'm 68 years old and a brandy new beginner. Just bought a Gretsch G5420T and I'm having a blast lol.
Exactly, when I first learned drums, it went really quickly because I already had a sense of rhythm and knew a fair bit of music theory, so I could focus on actual drum skills instead of trying to understand time signatures and counting
The thing is, I'm an intermediate flute player who can read sheet music and has some basic music theory down. I'm not starting from scratch. ;_;

Andre the video has no cuts, that’s true. It’s the audio that’s edited. It’s not well synchronized with the video. He clearly recorded various takes and then put them together in one audio file and synchronized with the video of probably his best execution. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still remarkable his progress in one week, but that solo does seem edited to me. I could be wrong, of course.
That's because his fingers are already stronger than you (as he's been playing violin), and also be knows music theory.🙄
obviously is FAKE bro jajaj
What's kinda nuts is that his soloing style is similar to Tim Henson, Tim was also a violinist for a long time growing up.
Exactly my thought. Must be the tone and it sounds like Polyphia’s 40oz.
You're right! I thought his skill that translated over well from violin to guitar was actually the sliding (or changing positions) and vibrato. Which are a violinist's bread and butter.
You're nuts not him
Definitely not the playing style, lmfao
But his construction is hiphop classical pop, Tim’s got a lot of rock and metal influence, I think.
The solo he did is from the original video that the backing track was from which I’m pretty sure was neo soul in 7 stages. Like it’s an exact cover but it’s still very impressive

Actually, as a violinist this makes a lot of sense. For better or worse the benefits of a quality instrument while learning is highly emphasized as it helps set up proper technique for the rest of your life. A mediocre violin can make learning so much harder! (I'm not a guitarist, so I have no idea how true that is for guitars, but that's how our brains think.) Also our concept of expensive instruments is pretty skewed, lol.
@@lynettes2796 It applies mostly in terms of how it's setup. If you level, crown, and polish the frets on a cheap guitar and give it a good setup it becomes a really good place to start learning.
@@lynettes2796 idk, but theres a very low chance a person can go from learning nothing to start playing jazz chords, and nailing scales within a week. I am a violinist who learned the guitar too, and the hardest part was the amount of stretch ur fingers have to do, compared to a violin, and that took me a while to get used to.

If you're this comfortable with stringed instruments you should try the bass guitar eventually. It was designed by Leo Fender and made so session guitarists could learn to easily play it.

It would take an absolute beginner probably AT least several months to a year to play what you did in 7 days! I guess there were many basic concepts and techniques there were transferable from the violin to the guitar. It was very interesting to watch!
I really want to believe this is 7 days progress. I really do. Without question, there are transferable skills from violin to guitar, making it possible to learn quite specific things very quickly.

Violin is harder because there is no fret marks so you have to "feel" the correct position which gives you better feel for the string. And he obviously is very strong in understand music theory that's why he can learn solo real fast.
I'm trying to play slide on guitar, and it's so hard to get the intonation right. I was just wondering how hard it must be to play a fretless instrument like a violin. Guitar is so easy in comparison.
@@salildeshpande7
I believe slide is still quite easier in comparison. I'm not nearly decent at playing slide, but when I try I use the frets as a reference to where it should go. Cannot do that on a fretless instrument.
@@kostantinos2297 At one point you shouldn't look at the fretboard, though. It mess up your posture and your neck. So yeah, we feel the fretboard and the notes too, it's just getting used to.
@@SubNorm4L
Good point. I don't have to do that normally but when practicing slide I do. Still, you can take glances at the fretboard if you need to, or use the dots on the side. Obviously though, that's not something to rely heavily on.
@@SubNorm4L
And just to clarify, I'm not denying that a slide player won't need to develop a keen ear and accurate touch for the notes they play. But the guitar makes it a bit easier to find your way around the fretboard, at least to someone who's a beginner at slide (like me).
Here's the deal. To be honest, most electric guitars are waaaayy more easy to learn than acoustic ones. It actually feels softer compared to acoustic guitars.
acoustic guitars are easier since you dont have to worry about accidently touching the wrong string and making the whole guitar make sound. Only thing more difficult about acoustics is you have to press slightly harder which isnt really that big of a deal unless you are a complete beginner.

It's annoying all the people who think he is lying about never having played guitar. They don't know what they're talking about. The mechanics of playing the violin and the guitar are practically the same, and the skills are entirely transferable. There are two big differences. One is the tuning -- a violin is tuned in fifths, and a guitar is tuned in fourths. But guitarists play frequently play in different tunings. It's not hard to learn a new tuning. The second is the sound generation mechanism. Guitar uses a pick. You CAN SEE him fumbling with picking, as you would expect.
It's also believable that he can solo on a guitar, because he plays solo pop music on violin. He even does slides and hammer ons on the violin, already. Aside from the differences I noted about, it's the same. If you played classical and pop music on the violin for 13 years, you could play a decent guitar, too.
Now it is easier to transfer skills from violin to guitar than from guitar to violin, because of the absence of frets on the violin. And bowing is a lot harder to learn than picking.
Richard Doan They’re just jealous. It’s usually how jealous people act and sound.
It’s fake. There are plenty of reasons, such as his left hand on violin is completely different than guitars left hand like the thumb but in seconds he got that perfectly, I know a few people who have played 20+ years and tried my guitar and can’t play scales like that. This is for views, not real.
@@liamfavre3547 I completely agree, there are multiple pieces of evidence leading to the conclusion that this is fake, this is over the course of months or he was pretending to be bad, he is still a great guitarist but this is not real, you people need to stop believing everything you see
@@liamfavre3547 bro the main difference is the lack of frets on violin, and that violin is tuned in 5ths, otherwise it's the same. The tuning difference u can see him struggle with at first, hence why he was playing happy bday and twinkle twinkle little star fine cuz it was on one string, whereas the moment he tried something that uses more than one string he messed up. As for having frets, that literlaly makes it even easier lol.
@@liamfavre3547 Yep, you're right, it's obvious. This is a great example of how gullible and easily mislead so many people are. It's a sad aspect of human psychology and the reason why in other contexts lots of people get hurt.

ItsAMoney : Ooh what's that one song
Me : Sweet Child O' Mine
But he knows The Brahms Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 77, in like two seconds of listening. 😉
1:55 yeah my dad is a professional guitarist and a few months ago he took up violin. He already sounds like he’s been playing for a few years lol. He’s playing really damn fast and clean for a beginner
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO GOOD AT EVERYTHING???? i love your talents
This guy on day 6 is already way better than me practicing almost a year... I’m not crying
He learned more in 7 days than I did in 8 years, you are very talented, keep it up
I'm kinda curious of how many hours did he spent to practice a day. He is really great!
Probably 40 hours a day
69 hours
@@cassandraloki2846 oi, lingling 40 hours
i sometimes play 4 hrs a day and if im diggin it i play for like 8hrs straight
i dont know what he did tho, probobly played the guitar for the whole day
@@mgex0364 wait how you practice like whats ur schedule for that 4 hours tho?
Davie504: Bass is better than violin
Twoset: Violin is better than bass
Itsamoney: I am better than both
Its not bass its guitar
The dooo: guitar and piano its better

@@harruptionluna186

@@Jai-rs8ul there is no such thing

Same here😭😂

@@adjsajdadsafmfmsa7569 do u know which specific one ?
Sweet child o mine
All of me
Role models
Happy Birthdau
1:27 this is your FIRST guitar! god I’m so jealous.
He got my heart when he started playing the No role modelz
Worth the wait!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Plot twist: He actually knew how to play since day one 🙊🙊🙊
just kidding! Hehehe, But for a beginner this is well done! 🙌 hands down! 👏
I think he does know how to play. Or had some experience before hand.
@@majorhippo2772 definitely. you know how long it takes to play chords that clean + he already hold the pick like he has been doing it for a long time.
I play various instruments, and i call bullshit on this "one" week journey.
don't want to argue with anyone :) but I think he's just smart with the techniques he does which is cool. Plus, being passionate and happy about what you do really makes a big difference that's why he learns and improves real fast. we are just here to support and appreciate his works 😊
@A1MusicStudio ok, but piano is very different than guitar. He's going from one string instrument to another. A lot of skills likely transferred.
eon star no, in my opinion piano is more translatable to guitar than violin because of the dexterity needed in piano playing, improvisation, and visualization of scales from piano is easier to understand and transfer to other instruments in my opinion. I don’t know that much about violin but I do play guitar (mainly) and piano.
PLEASE DO MORE GUITAR VIDEOS YOU'RE SO TALENTED BRUH THAT MUCH PROGRESS IN 7 DAYS
"Look at this my fingers are in the most awkward position ever"
Me : *laughs in fingerstyle with harder finger positions*
It is so cool my man
G is like the most peaceful chord other than Em
I have been playing the guitar for like 10 years and this guy is better
depends on how long you spend time with your instrument tho.
Joao Moreno it’s ok this guy is insane he’s been playing violin for 13 years so a lot of things transfer over including theory and left hand coordination
If you have been playing foe 10 years there is not reason he should be better dude
!!!!!!!!!!!
me: (in shock)
He's better than me and I've been playing guitar for 8 years...
it’s either you don’t practice enough or you never had any goals to begin with
@@waldalwahsh7833 yes true and I don't have talent
Exactly same situation 😭
Dude! It's fake! In a week you can't play like that!
I'm guitarist, 11 years of experience!
He knows a lot about being a violinist, but I know because my girlfriend has been a violinist for 15 years and she could never play guitar like that in a week. Violinists are good with notes, but they struggle with chords, and because they are used to the bow, they find it difficult to move the fingers of the right hand.
@@diegoalonsomorasoto293 true very true, alternate picking isn't something you learn overnight, hell i've been soloing with down strokes for months and some random violinist learns proper right hand techinque in a week?
Beginning guitar is mostly wondering how your fingers won't go where you tell them, and then when you finally get them where they need to be stopping after about 2 minutes because you don't have callouses yet.
thank you for another supreme video
Can we take a moment to appreciate how good the guitar sounds inspite of a few beginner mistakes he made at the begining
Yay you posted
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Btw we're just opposite
I do know how to play guitar since i was just 9 yrs old(what an early age) and I do have a Violin but I still having a hard time in lessons 😔
Im sad Idk how to play Violin😔😔😔
I play violin but the piano is easyer for me -w-'
It’s ok, you could always practice more!
Bruh since you were nine? Seeing that you use gacha you must have played for about 1 year.
I have 5 years experience playing the acoustic guitar and when the first song in the video i straight away knew it was happy birthday.
I think anyone with half a brain who doesn’t suffer from dementia did as well.
At 8:48 it looks like he’s singing to the beat of the music
