Epic my guy, keep shredding 🤟
This guy commented every guitar progress video the same comment just to get views. You’re a massive loser. Go away.
Great progress vid... Someone once told me, in order to learn the guitar you have to be prepared to sound like shit for a long time. Any string instrument is hard to learn. Even if you are doing everything right, there are a lot of nuances you have to learn to make it sound good. For example, how hard you pluck the strings, how you touch and bend the strings, timing, muting, etc. I have almost given up dozens of times, but as long as you keep with it, you will improve; even when you feel you aren't.
I don’t need to say it, Luke speaks truth here. Technique is not easy, you have to commit to the craft.
I haven't played in almost 40yrs. Will have my budget Ibanez here Monday. And I can't wait to have it in my hands and sound like shit! lol
I started with ukulele, played it for like a year, and then when I got a little bored with it honestly I bought accoustic guitar. It was a good decition! I serched for a couple tutorials and played some nice chord progressions in less than a week! Ukulele helped me a lot!!
Man you started playing for others only one week in jeez
He was just that good 😂
I can’t do that even now
Thats call beeing brave..keep on playing..
probably helped that he was playing with his friends. I read somewhere that when self learning guitar, jamming with other musicians can be motivating.
I did that in my first 5 minutes
what is the white guitar you used at the school event 2018?
also i think its crazy brave to perform in a school event at that level, even if you werent good, i am sure you learned a lot from it
I really don't even know what guitar it was! All I know is that it was the schools guitar and that it was some off-brand maker. That performance really set me up for what I'm aspiring to achieve in my musical career. I had such a great experience so early on, I had no idea what I was doing! This experience shown light that playing the guitar for me and others was something I could fall in love with.
looks like an offbrand strat
its a squier stratocaster
Your chords sounded a little strange because you played all the strings on all the chords. When you hit the right strings, it sounds wonderful, mainly because of its precision and speed with the strings. I'll give an example correctly: A minor only plays from the fourth string. but apart from that it was very top❤️❤️ I loved the video.
🇧🇷
Am plays everything but the low e, hence the low a root
fifth* the fifth one is actually quite important as it is the bass a root note

I admire your passion and commitments, and i hope it will stay lit! Try out exploring some music theory such as Major and minor scales, Triads, and pentatonic scale. It sure will unlock more options and roads for you to spread on your creativity. KEEP IT UP MY MAN!
Hey thanks so much Luqnatic! You'd be happy to know that I am halfway through my second year of college as a music major. I've learnt all that you mentioned and started implementing it into my music. Getting it to the more complicated bits of music theory now, the sky is the limit!
I've been playing for a year and 3 months and i never was able to find musicians to play with and this dude had a band after 1 week 😢😢😭
Finaly a realistic progressing video - thank you so much.
I am sick of tired of all this videos where peope shred in 1 month.... even 6 months is unrealistic ... even 1 year for most of humans... liars dirty liars.
Nice guitar skills.
Haha, thanks so much for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed the vid. I feel as though a lot people who make guitar videos have gaps in their guitar progress due to lack of video content. For some reason during this period I was really intrigued to record myself which helped shine light on the grind of guitar and realism of it. Have a great day mate, stay positive 🤙🏼
honestly its not the unrealistic u would just have to be pretty determined to actually learned cause ive been playing since august and i can already play quite a few songs like master of puppets, bohemian rhapsody, and some others but its just abt practice u can learn a lot in even one month if u put ur mind to it although ur fingers prob wouldnt like it lol
@@yeahthisismynamee6086 exactly, if you were to play 8 hours a day it wouldn't be unrealistic to be able to shred in a year or so.
I mean some people just have more time to put into it and the training regimen is much more structured. I've been watching these kinds of videos for a while now and usually there's a noticeable skill gap between those who put in the time on fundamentals (chord+transitions, picking, strumming techniques, scales) vs those who mainly just play songs over and over.
With that being said, I think this guy has come a long way in 1 year.
Great video. I'm a guitar newbie after some advice. Does getting better make you pull funnier faces or does pulling funnier faces make you play better? Thanks
Haha great question, since playing a lot more and getting significantly better I've noticed that the ability to control the facial expressions becomes much easier. The funny faces were harder to control in the early stages of guitar playing. However, they did shine light on the capabilities of expression through your own facial expressions or body movements which I felt helped make me a better guitar player.
id say both tbh
honestly youll prob make funnier faces the better that u get it cause the more that u can actually like feel what ur playing then the more emotions u display
As you pursue your career in music, please feel the need to tune your instrument before you play.
😂 I've definitely upped my tuning game since then.
my man played jazz on his first day
First thing I learned when I bought my second guitar , it wasn’t for me cause I still sounded crap .. it took quite a few guitars to realise the truth .. a $10 opshop guitar is better than a $10k guitar .
For those starting , learn to read notes and guitar is a passion project .
What? No. What? A $10k guitar will obviously be better. The sound is all in the fingers and rhe amp anyways. If you're bad the guitar wil lsound bad too no matter what you do
Glad to see you figured out that whole guitar strap thing.
😂😂🤣😂
This is a good example why guitar players should start learning chords first before going to lead.
Great singing man! You kinda got the voice of bob Dylan but way better! It’s amazing to see people’s guitar journeys from start to present, you’ve learned so much and improved a bunch in such little time! I’ve been playing guitar for about 2 years and my friends think I’m Jimi Hendrix lol, you got the tone of khurungbin and I love it man, keep up the great work man :)
Ah you're so kind Michael, thank you for your words. We still going full steam ahead!
@@benhulbertmusic you really do sound a lot like bob dylan. Great progression video you have a great voice dude keep up the great work
You have a very unique way of playing the guitar! It’s refreshing to see and hear! Keep it up, your progress is fab! 🌟
Thank you lots spacefrog mogg, I’m happy you feel that way 😁
@@benhulbertmusic you’re very welcome! Thank you for sharing 😁
maybe you should buy a Tuner
great comment bro lmao
You went hard at 11:30
Mans went supersane 😂
I know 😂😂 I had absolutely no control over my facial expressions. It took a while to learn how to control my expressions, I still am learning!
@@benhulbertmusic I’m like that too😂
Awesome! I also have the Player Series Jazzmaster, but in Buttercream. Great for surf rock, shoegaze & other heavy stuff.
haha sick! Absolutely love the Jazzmaster!
Awesome man keep it up
Did you have any practice routine? Or is it just playing something? I am into solos but even easy solos are a little difficult. Not that much but still.
Anyway, if someone can point out a routine or smth, please leave a comment
Hey GentleVandal! I never developed a practice routine during that time. It was more so all about picking it up when I wanted to and not putting it down for hours. Practice routines are very helpful as I've learned studying music in college. However, if you're not required to learn something on guitar then just have fun with it. Find a band or song you like and just learn it, see a video about guitar and just watch it, set yourself up a nice place to play guitar and just play it. Everyday. Hope that helps guide you a little bit. P.S. Solos can be tricky to learn when you're first starting out so I recommend always learning the chord progression of the song/solo first then furthering your knowledge of the song over time. It won't sound that great for a little while but just keep at it. Patience.
You are on the verge of awesomeness.
how did you learn, by yourself or you had a teacher ? :)
Bittersweet-55 143 self taught for about the first 5 months, then started to get lessons when October ran around.
@@benhulbertmusic man it's alot tougher without a teacher I started in Dec since I got bored during covid and I wish I had a teacher
@@despacito2271 fax I started in late October and been self taught since. I'm tryna get lessons soon. Good luck tho
Maybe try Drums??
This is one of the only actual progress videos I’ve seen. Nice work dude 🤘🎸
My pleasure 💯
this is such a cool guitar
I love this guitar, Fender Jazzmaster sounds great. Biggest thing that annoys me with it is probably the floating bridge. A bit high maintenance. Wonderful guitar all around.
As I've not that lot long started learning guitar I started of with one finger riffs and chord learning now practicing my first 12 bar blues and the e major pentonic scale have you got any good tips
You’re doing exactly what you need to be doing. Keep in mind, once you learn that E Major pentatonic scale which I think you mean E Minor. You can play that same scale across the whole neck. I highly recommend memorizing where each note is on the low E string, you can learn so much off this basic memorization. Do your own browsing on how it’s important.
love how you have bought 3 guitars in the space of a year I have 3 in the space of 10 years haha nice progression tho
To clear this up, I only bought one guitar. The Fender Jazzmaster. The first guitar you see was my older brothers. It was lying around for years since he played bass, I started out playing on his bass amp too. The white guitar in the school performance was the schools guitar. Finally, the acoustic guitar is my dads which he never really played but was always lying around. I was fortunate to have these guitars at my disposal which really helped with the progression of the instrument. However, I completely fund my own endeavors when it comes to music. All my guitars, amps, equipment, I purchased with exception of a few small gifts. There is no need to buy more than one guitar while you’re still learning but if you have others at your disposal, definitely pick it up and expand your horizon. 🤙🏼
@@benhulbertmusic fair play dude 👍
woah this video is hella cool !! A good progress the video makes me kinda motivated to play guitar to so i guess thats what i gotta do now !
:))) that s a joke
3 years and I always play alone😂
I’ve been playing guitar for 8 years, I’m 13 now
was it really hard to play acoustic when you just started with electric or people are just overexaggerating it?
Legend has it- he still hasn't found the overdrive button
I'm learning guitar with metal songs:)
Great idea. So many influential artists and content to learn from. Keep at it 🤙
fender!!!!!!!!
😉
no get a bass, then you will be a true guitarist
Your getting there. Awesome performance 🔥❤
Thanks so much Julio 🤙❤️
3:33 early days of buckethead. keep it up bro!!!
😂 🤙🤙🤙🤙
Ben , keep yup the great work!! You will do well in a music career!
Your comments always bring me joy!
Keep it up.
I will, thanks for the motivation man 💪❤️
Good job man
Thanks HoodieBills ❤️🤙
at what point/month did you start practising consistently?x
Early-mid April, 2018
@@benhulbertmusic You started practicing consistently months before you even got your first guitar! Impressive!
@@YoungFogerty i'm dying hahahaha
How many hours did you do a day how many days
When I played during these periods I was very able and had time. I always had in the back of my head, "I need to catch up." I would practice pretty much every single day for hours, some days longer than others. I always tried to practice every day, I wanted to do it too so it made it a lot easier.
F.zappa 👍2022
Finger style bothers me so fucking much.
Interesting, how come?
Sounds great but my autistic self can his head around all my fingers at the same time, lmao
@@SmiteSpainAndMore haha 😂 finger style is tough for sure. I know you could get it down, just gotta keep practicing!
Very great !!! I admir your courage with your school, very good game 👌
Hey man I can tell you've been practicing with a metronome! I've seen a lot of 1 year progress videos and they still have no rhythm by the end. But you go it!
You're bang on about learning the acoustic as well, u seem more comfortable with the acoustic and they, (Electric/Acoustic) are very different beasts!
After many years playing chords on the acoustic, I got myself an Electric Geeeeetaar 😁 a few weeks ago and I'm loving it, but using a pick, alternate picking, scales etc are new to me but I'm (like u) loving the challenge 😁Look forward to checking out your progress 3 years on! Great vid mate👏
Love this vid but ummmm you kinda look like ferb from phineas and ferb, (in a good way 👍🏻)
Jam on buddy! No fear!
Very nice dude🤘, been playing for over a year myself now. Btw noticed that you sometimes switch between playing lefthanded and righthanded, what do you prefer?
Thanks Gamewizaard! Numerous people have mentioned me playing left handed and right handed. I think it was most likely the way the video was taken. I am only right handed. Keep playing man 🤙🏼
@@benhulbertmusic 🤘🤘
Youve made alot of progress, but have fallen into the trap of learning diffecult things way too fast. Id highly suggest trying to learn very simple songs such as come as you are, or seven nation army, but learning them well
I'm playing for almost 2 years. I don't have friends to play with. I went to gig onli once. :(
bro after hearing the one in may i was like “why does this sound like khuragabin??” then sure enough lmao, great taste
so have you found distortion yet?
Haha great question! Short answer, nope. I just use touch of reverb on my instrument. Sometimes I’ll take all effects off to really work on my tone and intonation. Using all these effects can really hide you from mistakes and good technique. (Inspiration from Tomo Fujita)
🎸 ✡️️
Off-set guitars are the knees of bees.
I love the body design! So cool.
after a year you cant play a basic chord..... its not for you my friend
You're so right man, I'm giving up 😭
Please be joking
@@wchristian2000 no worries mate, I’m never stopping.
What’s the song at 9:25?
It’s a rendition of Bird Song by The Grateful Dead!
maybe work on not just playing scales up and down
Love your progression how you start to play I just got my guitar but I’m not sure where to start
440 subs and got the official artist channel badge, what a gigachad
what guitar was the green one
Fender jazz master
Legit! You are a slow learner.😆
song at 6:50???
If I recall correctly, that is me trying to improvise! No actual song.
А гуру оказался прав, через год игры звучит получше Хэммета))))
Just started guitar. What are your favorite albums? @Ben Hulbert
Hey Luke, some of my favorite albums to name a few would have to be 1.) Pacific Northwest '73-'74: Believe it if you need it - Grateful Dead 2.) Mordechai - Khruangbin 3.) Song of Her's - Her's (Rest in Peace) 4.) Smokin' at The Half Note - Wes Montgomery 5.) Dick's Picks Vol. 18: Dane County Coliseum, Madison, WI 2/3/78 - Grateful Dead. You best keep playing Luke, expect yourself to be horrible for the first 2 months at least, just keep picking it up and let time take its course. Good luck :)
@@benhulbertmusic Thanks Ben, I love the Grateful Dead. I have listened to Dead Set so many times! Thanks for the encouragement. I'm struggling to see progress and having trouble with chord changes, but I just learned the riff to KIDS by MGMT and that's a lot of fun to play :)
nice
Great Bob Dylan and the progress guitar
December 12th 2019
Heyy 9:09 I see ur playing in 'ger' were you in Mongolia or smth

Keep on practicing, but please tune your guitar up first
Check out some of the new stuff, all tuned up mate. 🤙🏼
Crrrryy. 💔💔😭😭😭😭
u feel it so much, continue!
I have and will!
finally another khruangbin legend

The first 6 months or so yes. I was then funded to take 5 guitar lessons because of a senior thesis I was doing in school.
9:16 woah is that a yurt?
Correct!
Se la re vivia
what’s the song at 5:04 ?
Pride of Cucamonga - The Grateful Dead
Nice!

On my list!
Are you left handed or is it just flipped cause of the camera
Right handed
11:45 deff for someone he liked
Probably 🤷♂️
cam you pla; ay both left and right-handed as a beginner is so a fantastic talent
I hope this is a joke, cause if not, give your head a shake. lmao!
@@ShadyLurker16 😂 it must’ve been the camera, other people thought I played left handed too. Nope, just right handed.
3 year?
👀
Why did ya buy so much guitars lol
Only bought one guitar my friend
@@benhulbertmusic oh I saw like 5 differ guitars sorry
Hey how long did it take for you to get good at barre chords
It depends on how hard you want to be able to do them
It took me about 3 weeks to a month
Barre chords are a beast to deal with but one of the most powerful things to learn. I couldn't tell you the time frame of how long it took. From experience, learning barre chords hurts for a week or two. If you practice everyday you can learn very quickly how to play them, what they are, what works with what, where you can find them. As you continue to learn guitar and where notes are on your fretboard, all these patterns of.barre chords start to form. The worst part for people I find is they are unsure of how to properly finger a barre chord and or it just hurts their fingers. Just keep practicing :)
So cool
Thanks Artem 🙌
Awful
3:07 what song is this
No song in particular, just me trying to improvise!
@@benhulbertmusic sounds real good
