Play every day for five years, you'll be able to shred. Don't play every day, no play, no shred. One month, one year, fives years will pass one way or the other. SO, freaking play and in a year or so you'll be the Golden God of guitar playing. Just like everything in life, do. And jump in over your freakin head. Do.

      Being a guitar instructor doesn't mean showing off. They should first cover the basics for their students not to be overwhelmed and feel that guitar is hard to play. When the teacher show off, the tendency is that the student would ask the teacher "how to play that?" and end up frustrated because he/she cannot do does things.

He, is teaching me...the person who can do that, it makes me know I will be able to do the same, as I am being exposed to his style. Idk, to dislike your teacher for ultimately showing you what he can do- for enjoying playing his instrument, instead of appreciating his music, is kind of just basic jealousy to me...

    As a beginner myself, the one warning I'd put out there to other new students is if you decide that you are going to play a lot in the very beginning you will quickly see why everyone says "5 minutes a day" and similar recommendations. Your fingers will hurt like hell and even blister (this is especially true with electric guitar) if you are trying to do long practice sessions at first. You need to allow yourself the time to build up calluses on your fingertips. This usually takes a couple of weeks. This was a surprisingly painful lesson I learned myself and thought I'd pass on!

    To all the beginners at @5:10, There are two frets between each note, excepts the B and E. So for example the A string goes like this: A, Asharp, B, C, Csharp, D, Dsharp, E, F, Fsharp, G, Gsharp, A, etc. And the E string goes like this: E, F, Fsharp, G, Gsharp, A, Asharp, B, C, Csharp, D, Dsharp, E, etc.
    Since the top string is an E, which doesn't have a sharp note, the first fret is an F. The A string, however, goes to an A sharp on the first fret.
    See it as a piano, sometimes there isn't a black key to the right of the white one, that means that's a B or an E.
    Once I learnt this, the guitar made alot more sense.
    Sorry if I don't make sense, am a bit drunk. But if you need some explanation about the basics, just ask. I'll try :)

      So you saying that that in between are half notes and you have to move like 2 frets over for a full change of note. And that there are exceptions to this interesting. Thank you for this knowledge drunk man

However, I started with your lessons ahead of time and will continue as I go. These are really great and I'm learning to get comfortable with the guitar. I think I have a little over a year before it hits the stage in front of an audience, so I'm hitting practice with that goal in mind. BTW, I'm 72!
