      You play fantastic great selection of guitars there too always great to have the different tones at choices also cant beat an Ibanez best all-rounder 🤘 I started out with a Yamaha pacifica 520 not the best on tone but a nice slim action and fast fretboard 👍

      At 50 and an off an on player having not of played consistently the past 7 yrs due to work and my soon to drive only two kids :NO EXCUSES ; like my own
      Even playing 10 mins a day an hour a week
      Every one can find it and that’s all you need to maintain and not forget but also progress and have fun and keep alive that of what drew you to the greatest instrument ever made now worth far more than that of which one named the one time most expensive instrument albeit an old STRADIVARIUS now far surpassed by most any and every 58’ LES PAUL STANDARD
      JIMMY PAGES’ Number 1 and HIS Number 2 the same but a 1959
      And take note that Page is now has always been AND always shall be the ONLY GUITAR 🎸 GOD THE GREATEST ALL AROUND GUITARIST EVER CREATOR OF ACOUSTIC ROCK AND FUSING CLASSICAL FOLK COUNTRY AND ALL ACOUSTIC MUSIC INTO ROCK AND BLUES AND ROCK INTO WHAT IS METAL AS IT WAS HIS BEST MATE ;”””JEFF BECK””” WHO CREATED JAZZ ROCK FUSION AND THEIR RIVAL “””RITCHIE BLACKMORE””” WHO CREATED CLASSICAL FUSED ROCK AS WHAT IS SHRED OR NEO CLASSICAL ROCK WHILE IT WAS MY VERY OWN GOOD PAL ;”””🎸RICK DERRINGER🎸””” WHO IS THE GREATEST ALL AMERICAN 🇺🇸 BOY(quoting his awesome 1973 LP WITH THE SAME NAME donning the great song 🎸ROCK N ROLL HOOCHIE COO🎸 I TOTALLY IMPLORE YOU TO LEARN THE ENTIRE SONG SOLO TO INTRO AS YOUR CURRENTLY BEYOND THE ABILITY TO PLAY IT THOUGH HIS STYLE IS TRULY INCENDIARY AND HID PEERS BEING THE
      🎸GUITAR SLINGERS🎸: LESLIE WEST
      PAT TRAVERS JOHNNY WINTER RONNIE MONTROSE ROBIN TROWER RORY GALLAGHER FRANK MARINO JEFF BECK AND FEW OTHERS
      OF WHICH DERRINGER IS THE BEST OF THE BEST AND LEFT JEFF BECK SPEECHLESS WITH PAGE AT LES PAULS’ many birthdays at his own MAX’s KANSAS CITY IN NYC
      RICK PLAYED WITH HIS ENTIRE BAND ; the MCCOYS AS THE “””AND””” in JOHNNY WINTER AND IN 1969 to 1970 and had Zeppelin opening for them
      Their is much to learn from Rick as student of the three Kings and Elvis’ two great legends Scotty Moore and James Burton of who later became a great admirer of Ricks
      And in the McCoys’ hit “””Hang on SLOOPY””” 1965( being the only hit in America to take out the Beatles and Stones for two years straight and Rick toured as both bands ‘ opening acts with the McCoys)
      Rick also had Hendrix open for him as a”””JIMMY JAMES AND THE BLUE FLAMES”””
      In 66’ and Jimmy’s’ equipment was all stolen and Derringer let Hendrix use all his equipment drums to guitar 🎸 which is why Hendrix later switched to a Strat after using Ricks’ and Rick is cited as one of Jimis’ favorite guitarists ever along with the great BILLY GIBBONS OF ZZTOP from ZZHill Texas blues legend that Johnny Winter from Texas who played with Rick for decades as I saw them play lead together in 2
      1998 in CT
      And the two are who with Hendrix all influenced one STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN
      You’ll hear Ricks’ flare for surf guitar 🎸 from Dick Dale and the Ventures in
      ALL CONNECTS BUT ALL IS BEFORE VAN HALEN AND RANDY RHOADS
      KEEP PLAYING YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES 🎸🙏🎸

      You don't have to practice for hours every day. Set aside 20 minutes a day - yes, only 20 minutes. That adds up fast, and you will improve at a good pace. True, the more time you spend, the faster you'll get better, but many people just don't have an hour or more a day, so some practice time is better than none. The important part is to make it a consistent habit, so even 15-20 minutes a day when done as a habit will get the job done. It also helps immensely to have a good teacher. Have fun and good luck!

On my off days I may practice 4 hours or even more. You should know all your main open chords (including F) within 3 months. Hold the chord while you watch TV or listen to music. Just hold that position for 30 minutes or more, dont even strum. Make your hand get use to holding that shape. You have to think "im going to do this if my fingers bleed and it literally kills me." Its all about how bad do you really want to do this.

      It's likely a faked progress. The first 3 months are fine, maybe you can think she progressed very fast, but it's still doable. But suddenly her skills skyrocketed after 5 months. That's NOT realistic unless you pour hours and hours of training every single day, sweep picking is really hard to learn, and the sound when she plays is completely clear. That's also unrealistic. And that Ibanez Prestige after 7 months of practice... come on.

Anyone who has tried learning to sweep can tell you that sweeping is difficult and it's probably better to begin learning sooner rather than later.

You can't have that "she's still new at guitar so there is no way she would own anything better than a Squier strat starting out" mentality just because you had a "beginner" setup for your first year. I personally think that its better to buy a midrange to higher priced guitar and amp setup in the beginning because not only will you likely be more inclined to learn on nicer equipment than "beginner" equipment, but you'll also be more inclined to continue using your setup even after you've advanced to being able to really play. I believe I'd be more inclined to learn if I had a $1k-3k guitar over a Squier or some offbrand guitar with shitty quality control and an overall sub par sound and feel, which is exactly why I decided to go with good stuff with my setup.

I don't think my progress will be as fast (or good), but damn does this make me excited to get into it. There's so many videos of people just magically getting good, but it's missing all the inbetween struggles, and I just know learning anything new isn't that easy.

      How's the progress? I started playing as a middle aged dad, and progress is painfully slow compared to children. Between time constraints, other priorities, and older brain syndrome, it just takes time. Totally worth it though.
      It took me several years (inconsistent practice, no lessons, no one to jam with, etc.) to really sound musical, but I stuck with it, and now I get to make "guitar faces" while I play!

Song list of all the songs I played in this video is in the description :). Also, hope you enjoy the solo at the end of the video! It's one I attempted a long time ago but gave up on and then decided to try again this year. It was a challenge for me to get it up to speed and, while there is still room for improvement, I feel a lot more confident now in my bends and hammer-ons/pull-offs :).

      @@ivarstrange6959 I think everybody has something. That is why ypu see people with such "strange" and "odd" picking techniques or ways of playing chords or whatever it may be. We all just have that one thing that makes a roadblock so we all develop this unique way to deal with it and we all come out with unique ways of playing. It is frustrating but when you finally get it, it is cool because you have this way of playing that fits you and nobody else. Mine was I have a messed up pinky from getting hit by a baseball and it made it very difficult to hammer on and pull of with my pinky strong enough but I really worked on it until I've gotten to a point where it is at least effective, still a long way to go though 7 years in
