learn every tone on the E and A string(very simple if you draw them down in ur book) and then you bscly know every bar chord:-) learn all the bar-chord shapes, and practice playing barchords and saying the name of the chord up and down the fretboard. thats what i did. Oh! you need to learn: Looking out for you by: Joy Again. great song with a lot to learn from. bar chords only. good luck!
Keep at it! I’ve been playing for nearly 40 and I’m finally figuring out how to hold a pick. I still have a lot of basic knowledge missing as well - comes from lack of patience. If you’re willing to stay disciplined, you’ll progress faster than you realize.
Much love i wanted to thank you for being a content creator remember ur beautiful just the way u are dont let haters tell u diffent and i also wanna thank you for being there i know im not the only who watches you when im feelin down and after watching u i feel much better much love byeeee
This truly means so much to me. Thank you for taking the time to write this, it put a smile on my face and I really appreciate it! Sending love your way as well :)
You should learn power chords. They’re very simple. Learning how to read tabs is probably the most useful thing. Once you learn to read tabs, you can write them and have cooler guitar parts. You’re doing great!
TIPS! For hand cramping always stretch your fingers and your wrist. Your doing rly good! I have been playing music since 1st and just recently started writing music :) 💜
I think I've been playing for 2 or 3 years, but it's hard to say. Don't be discouraged! I only started to get barre chords recently and they are still difficult for me on acoustic. You're doing great!
@@amynheld Ohhh, I kinda am playing for the same time as you, like, I started on 2017 I think, but yeah, barre chords are really hard, but after you get them right, they become easy (Except for that G#6 chord lol, still can't that get that quite right)
from someone who gave guitar lessons for severalyears a good exercise with scales that makes them feel more musical and less"boring" is to play a scale pattern. like 3rds example a C major scale in 3rds C-E-D-F-E-G-F-A-G-B-A-C it's really not wasting brain power because your learning the fretboard , when you can connect the scales and arpeggios to chords that's when it sounds like music!!
I have a 2003 Shell Pink 60's Reissue Exactly like yours. Anywho Playing Songs In your head (Rock Lobster/Originals) makes it not so Boring? Pentatonic might get Boring? Then Jazz Modes/Other things? Make Guitar Interesting again 🙄 A life long Process. Cat's, Dog's & Guitars Best Therapy Ever. Enjoy the process. New Sub. Great Channel. Good luck 😁
I think the technic is important. But for the first time if you learn it yourself it's hard to decide what should you start with. So i thought if I learn a solo that I really like for the first time, i can trust myself more. And firstly I decided to learn comfortable numb solo from Pink Floyd. It was hard for the first time but i accept it. I accept to practice for maybe two months. Then I think I'm not that bad!😁 I can play this solo at least. And it really improve me. After learn some of solo you like , you can learn the technics easily. And you trust yourself a bit more. I suggest you this way. Hope you improve yourself. Hope we will see your progression. (Sorry for bad English, if I made grammer mistakes.😅 Greetings 🤩❤️)
Your English is great, don't worry!! This is a good idea, I should really get around to learning some solos. It will probably help me just like it helped you🙂
Practicing scales can be way more fun if you improvise all over the fretboard along to a backing track on TH-cam. I can play for hours to say, a Blues backing track in G. By improvising, your mind and muscle memory will learn to navigate the fretboard in its entirety. Really helpful in developing your soloing.
I've heard that Squiers are good beginner guitars! Do your research on it to make sure they are good because I don't know much!! But it should be fine :)
Sometimes strumimg an electric like you would an acoustic can sound glaring. Once your right hand advances a little more you'll be able to control the sound with more complex strummimg techniques. Also if scales are boring you, try recording some chords and practice the scale over it. So long as the chords are related to the scale you are practicing. Pretty good so far, keep it up
Thank you for this advice! I've tried improvising with the scales over the progressions but I haven't tried just playing the scales straight through with a backing track. It's a great idea!
Wow awesome video! I didn't know Player strat also comes in pink finish :o I definitely need grab one for my lil sister:) BTW what guitar pick do you use?
Yeah! The finish is called shell pink and I bet your little sister would love it! I have no preference on guitar picks and I have a bunch of different kinds, so I couldn't even tell you which one it is to be honest. :)
@@amynheld Thank you for reply! I found out that pink finish was a limited run but we luckily found shop in my country where they still have one for sale! Without your video I would never find out about it!:)
obrigado por assistir! Digitei seu comentário no google tradutor e detectei que estava em português. Espero que você possa entender isso bem! Tenha um bom dia!
@@amynheld entendi sim .eu tava tentano pesquisa umas guitarras no TH-cam mais não tinha achado aí vi seu vídeo a gostei .aí pesquisei o momo dela aí achei .mais não gostei do som que elas faziam .mais o som que a sua guitarra faz e muito bom .e cauma e tranquila .vc pode me ensina a agusta o som desse jeito PORVAVOOO ?
Do you have a teacher? How about a livestreamed class or something along these lines? I`m a teacher and I think it could be interesting. I`m available if you want.
one tip for you, explore the music world. try to listen from different genres, metal, rock, jazz, blues, etc! it helps a lot to gain more skills. and one more thing, try to use more pinky finger action from the beginning.
I agree with you 100%! Looking back, my favorite days have been the ones where I listened to new music for hours, I am constantly trying to catch up with every genre because it's all just so exciting! Thanks so much for this comment :)
ooo for real? bc i’ve been thinking about getting an electric guitar but my parents say that i should learn acoustic first so i can be good at electric, but do u think it’s best to learn acoustic first?
@@angelaanguyn I say it’s best to learn acoustic first in my opinion, because acoustic is more challenging so when you switch to electric it’ll be so easy

For how long have u been playing? Like, 1 and a half years in and I couldn't do barrechords lol. You're a great player!

@@amynheld i just started playing guitar so i have alot to learn. its not at easy as i thought it would be lol
Your so good ❤️
you are the most beautiful person i have seen play guitar

Your English is great, don't worry!! This is a good idea, I should really get around to learning some solos. It will probably help me just like it helped you🙂
@@amynheld 😄🤩
donr worry im berly learning to
Very inspiring :D
This makes my day to hear🙈
she got that cash😩
I played acoustic first so when I switched to electric it felt way easier
I'm in the same boat!!
Wow how are you and really so well he’s just like got it so lucky that I was so good in three days

By improvising, your mind and muscle memory will learn to navigate the fretboard in its entirety. Really helpful in developing your soloing.
Good to know! I've tried playing over just a random drum track, but looking up something in a specific key is a great idea. Thanks!
Lol I'm a fingerstyle guitarist but now I'm a electric guitar noob so I'm watching some videos that i think can teach me something
That's so awesome! I'm glad it led you to this video!!
hi amy! Should I get a fender squier affinity series as a beginner electric guitar? Only played a bit on acoustics before..
I've heard that Squiers are good beginner guitars! Do your research on it to make sure they are good because I don't know much!! But it should be fine :)
@@amynheld great thanks looks like a decent model to kick off with!
I have a squier affinity strat (pink too) I wish I could afford the guitar Amy has in her video but I love my Squier strat it's my favorite guitar :)
Fender and VOX are a great combination. When you get famous, get yourself a VOX AC30!
Maybe also bcz i just watch the Barbie Rock'n Royals earlier,thats why im here HAHAHHAHA
Haha! It's an honor to be on the Barbie side of youtube!

How much was your guitar I’ve been thinking of getting one soon
Now i want one...
IM SORRY DAVIE504!! 😭😭
You are cool.
Behold.....now she knows the Power chords

Thanks so much for subscribing!! A white squire!! How exciting is that?! I hope you have a blast with it :)
Try to practice some strumming patterns... JustinGuitar has some fantastic lessons that can unlock more options for yourself! Never give up 🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻
ur awesome. it would be great if you could do a lesson/tutorial on how to play . :)
I'm not sure if I'm qualified enough for this, but I will give it some thought! Thanks for watching!!
@@amynheld Great!!!!
Say your guitar same as my guitar mine is like I don’t know what to call it a plastic at all ER is this the same if I may ask
A Fender Player Strat as a Practice guitar lol.....if only i had the money to do that...
Wow awesome video! I didn't know Player strat also comes in pink finish :o I definitely need grab one for my lil sister:) BTW what guitar pick do you use?

Where did you get your guitar?
it sounds like you have overdrive on do you have overdrive?
I was using my pedal, so you're probably right :)
Could you please do a cover of redbone by childish gambino on your guitar. I think you'll okay it really well
