@@jewzy6558 They're both as important if you want to make good improvisation solos, if you only train your ear the only thing you're gonna be good at is covering other songs
The best stage of learning is when you get to the point where you can pick up simple songs in like 20 mins to half an hour. I found that being able to sing along a bit came at that point too which was awesome
@Thomas, this. It's hard to explain but I remember when I first started I had troubles with playing simple chords or fingerpicking any songs. After a time of playing there's something that just snaps inside ur brain and it takes all the knowledge you have and bends it, like playdough. Learning new things really does get easier, you just have to be dedicated enough to learn your first hard song ever and that's when you'll notice how many songs have these similarities that makes it easier for you to learn them.
people really thought this was fake and that you didn't just pick up the guitar and learn for the year? anyone who has played guitar for a long period of time and can actually play well can see and hear the minor mistakes that someone with that little of experience makes. good progress for 1 year but it's clear that this video is legitimate.
@@LooterLoser no of course not. It all depends on your dedication to it really. Some people pick things up faster than others. But if you stay with it consistently and earnestly. You will see growth at the end of the year.
@@luqmuhmmad2616 if I’m going to be straight up with you I’m about half as good as this guy and I bought my guitar 3 days ago but I’m 15 and have very good hand dexterity and speed but I’m just having soooo much fun practiced 17 hours in two days
@@kaic9712 Same. I have alot of hand dexterity when because i am doing art and i picked up the guitar not long ago and practiced like a maniac and getting blisters on my fingers.
I’m hardly over a week and a half in of practicing and it’s so infuriating and frustrating because my fingers get so sore and I just wanna keep going at it. Thank you for making this video really keeps me from feeling down, and it’s super inspiring to see your progression.
No matter what just keep picking it up and keep playing. I bought my first guitar when I was 18. Tried to teach myself. Got frustrated learning to strum, gave up for a year or 2. Came back and realized tabs are trash and wanted to learn sheet music. Gave up again. Around age 26 I picked it up again regretting all that lost time and hired a teacher.
I'm 4 months into playing. It's actually crazy to look back even that little of time and how much I have progressed. Really cool to see your progression! Great video production and editing as well. Would've guessed you were in the 200k - 500k subscriber count. Keep grinding!!
I've been playing for 13 years. I'm so glad you didn't reach my level within a year. I swear to god I would have just quit xD But keep at it man! You know, in moderation so you don't end up surpassing me in 2 years ;)
I really appreciate that last thing you said about having something to wake up and be excited about. You made me realize that I'm missing that in my life right now, and that it's time to find it again. Thank you.
I wasted my first year and a half by playing only simple chords and not trying to get better and discover more things and in the last half a year i learn more than the whole first year and a half I learned the theory and solos and bar chords. Because I actually tried to get better and not just know some chords just to know to play guitar if that make sense...and I think he got so good at that because he was into learning and getting better and didn’t waste time..
Exactly. I was on a mission to shred and learn fast. I’m a little older so I didn’t have the time to get stuck playing beginner stuff. It’s been challenging and it still is, but very rewarding
It’s crazy how good you get if you challenge yourself every time you play. Since Eddie Van Halen died I’ve been so motivated to get his technique down. My skills are already significantly better because I’m playing outside of my comfort zone all the time now
First two weeks you need to focus on "less frustration" and " more patience" ! It doesn't matter how worse is your progress ! If you can hang on first two weeks you are good to go for far distance that's for sure ! Because most beginners quit first week or two !
I respect the hell outta you and this video . Ordered my first guitar , I can’t wait for it to come . It’s something that I have always wanted to learn , and I’m dedicating the next two years to learn how to really shred that baby . With much practice I hope to get as good as you did with in that year . Keep it up brother , much love from Philly
you're killin it! i picked up my first guitar a year ago.. not close to your progress but i find it so relaxing to practice and learn... wish i was your age when i started... Enjoy my friend!
I am a 54 year old man and I remember the days prior to youtube..today all I do is get a guitar tutorial and within hours I am basically playing the song/lead I want. I have no problem believing this was a year this age in time makes it very easy to learn guitar.
I also started late and I’m 3 1/2 years in now and I’m about to go music college now if everything turns out fine. My audition is on Friday so let’s see how it works out. Great progress dude, can’t wait where you’ll be at in another year or two!
Thanks, you all! I actually passed (don’t know how to be honest, it didn’t go that well 😅😂)! Now Friday Theory and Ear Training left (which might be a problem) and then I’m in! :)
Amazing progress! You're doing exactly what natural musicians have done for centuries. I would say first what's your goal as a musician? Do wanna play for fun? If that's the case, then keep doing exactly what your doing. Do you wanna be an expert/pro? Then find a teacher/mentor. Every guitar god had some form of instruction, whether it was their parents, friends, neighbor, no one is really self taught. Having a mentor will cut your progress in half. Then, get in a band and start performing consistently every where: backyard barbecues, bar mitsvas, where ever you can get an chance to perform. This will literally boost your guitar skills and confidence. Scales are only useful for warmups and learning the fretboard, learn riffs, lines and solos instead. This will teach you the language of music. Practice is crucial but if you're not applying it in performance, then there's no point. Peace.
Bro this is the first video I’ve seen for progress that is almost identical to how I’m progressing and it’s getting me hyped. Your channel is great I’m hopping on this train before you get big🙏🏽
As a guitarist, you should be proud. Clearly not fake people are just jealous that you have the commitment and the passion. And the jam makes such a difference, you’ll come on leaps and bounds now, keep going x
Seems pretty reasonable progress from nothing to a year with dedicated practice. Not sure what's so hard to believe. Looking forward to hearing you a year from now. Thanks for posting.
You did a very good thing recording this. I wish I had done the same. It was like reliving parts of my own musical journey watching yours. I'm totally crying 😭😂🔥🎶🎵🔥
Your wrist seems to be a little stiff in your picking hand. Loosen up a little bit and pretend you are shaking water off your hand when strumming and when picking. A lot of it is in the wrist and if you lock it, you will feel tension and fatigue in your forearm which you don’t want. Be relaxed.
Very good man just remember never give up and keep practicing it everyday I bought mine 2 weeks ago and have started practicing everyday. It gets a little frustrating in the begging but I will keep doing it
I started 2 weeks ago and far out I'm struggling but I'm putting in at least about an hour a day. It's so inspiring to see people progressing so much my goal is crazy train eventually lol
Jonas Dickenson I’ve played for a year and crazy train is super rewarding when you get the full song down. Don’t be intimidated by it, like many songs it isn’t very scary after a bit of practise!
Inspiring brother! I picked up the guitar again during quarantine. I had quit and hadn’t played for years after being a power chord hero in middle school. Messaging here after just mastering You Shook Me All Night Long. Hope you are still getting better! Anyone watching who hasn’t started yet and you have that itch: go for it! Just don’t look up “guitar pedals” on the internet, you’ll bankrupt yourself!
i've ben playing for a month!! Get a cheap but quality guitar, or a second hand one Im lucky my sister has both an electric and an acoustic and she doesnt really play much. i actually have the electric guitar here in my room
I'm a year in now and the greek modes n pentatonic scales are what has opened everything up for me tbh it took way more trial n error than wanted to even get where I'm at. I've realized it is very satisfying to play but it all comes with time and you can't rush time so you gotta be patient sometimes n just let it all come to you. it's a different learning curve for everyone but picking up a guitar n having the courage to stick with it throughout the failure has been the sweetest journey of my life!
you are awesome. you are are really motivating me. guitar can be frustrating. but its really the best thing you can invest your time in to. its defintely worth the time and the effort.
Congratulations! Welcome to the treehouse club. We're glad to have you as a member 🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶🎸❤ P.S. your dedication earned you another subscriber. Me. P.P.S. take some lessons at a music school and /or get in a band. Music is exponentially more enjoyable when you participate in a communal setting. It's meant to be shared. Furthermore you will learn stuff from other people that will really help you. And you will reach a level (sooner than you think) where YOU will be the person helping others. The next step after that is performing. When you first start doing it it's very scary. But you'll get past that and then it's an absolute blast. It's a dream come true. Trust me. I know you have thought about it . We've all been there lol
Great video mate. I’ve been playing for only 3 weeks for first time and loving it. I’m doing the Justin Guitar course and just strumming a few open chords at the moment but excited for what the future holds. Thanks for the inspiration in your video! 👍
I’ve always had a guitar and I thought I could “play” but I sounded like my first day playing every time lol… so the beginning of April 2022 I bought a Mitchell MS450 and a Vox VT20X. I didn’t start playing till about the middle of April so I’m about 2.5-3 months in! It’s crazy to think the difference in my playing from when I started to where I am now! I can definitely appreciate your journey and my goal is to be able to play with a band by the 1 year mark! It’s been a tough journey but now I’m about to creep your channel and see where you are now!
@@rodtuga4639 You're funny not him. He just said he picked up different guitars throughout the year. Normally a beginner has only 1 guitar or maybe 2 guitars. He just got suprised about it. Where's the funny thing about it?
Great progress and thanks for sharing on line. These videos are useful to compare our own progress to. You are doing really well. Subbed to support your channel.
An exercise that helped with my fret hand strength & movement is fingers 12/13/14/23/24/34 then 43/42/41/32/31/21 although you've made great progress goodstuff.
Wow wow wow ! This was so inspiring on so many levels! The ending got me! When he said it's changed him in so many ways and given him so much. I felt that! I've been learning Spanish and I went from frustration were my head felt it would expload to one day waking up and just speaking Spanish - which felt like magic - it's given me so much more than just learning Spanish, the next level is to conquer the guitar! !
To anyone who says that it is fake, you don't have any idea what you are talking about. I hate how people try to take away from people's accomplishments just because they themselves cannot do it. The only thing I need to note that shows me this man indeed started as a beginner is his left hand thumb. His left hand thumb looks like someone who taught themselves, because it is actually bad hand positioning. His left hand thumb wraps around the fingerboard, which impedes his left hand technique a lot. The pad of the left thumb should rest around the middle of the fingerboard and move with the chord positions. It gets better as the video goes on, which shows me that he is indeed learning and practicing as he goes. The one thing I could say to you that would definitely make you better is to watch videos on how to hold the guitar. It might seem simple, but your technique will improve lots if you just fix that thumb! Kudos to you for learning guitar, and go Mean Green!
Absolutely incredible. I’m 15 and just started acoustic guitar as my grandad is in love with guitars too. This video really inspired me - defiantly Subscribing !!! 😎💗
Wow I’ve always wanted to learn how to play a guitar, this video gives me so much motivation, a few songs in this video were some songs I’ve always fantasized about playing, I never knew some of the songs was acoustic guitar, the more I know!!!
This was really awesomel!!! Looks like when you started learning scales and moving them and chords/moving them around easier things started to get way better even though things were already amazing in the beginning!!! Hoping you have a really great year, with everything!
I Also hope to see another video too!! I'm thinking of putting all my random clips 7 months from now into a video to see how far I've changed too, it looks like youre shocked at how surreal it isi love it
Great job. People who have never picked up the guitar are the ones calling you a fake and a liar. Anyone who plays can tell . We have all been there. Again a great job. Keep it up. You are going g to be good.
I totally believe you and congratulations. I admire your efforts. This will always be your go to meditation. I recommend listening to some jazz guitarists like Pat Metheny or Wes Montgomery John Abercrombie etc. You will eventually get bored with rock.
Just found this video. Not sure if you're trying to do the whole youtube thing (you should!) but upload more guitar related content. I see you're into skateboarding as well but this right here is your bread and butter plus you have a chill personally which helps a lot. Picking up my guitar this week. Much love bro!
I’m around 11 months in playing guitar and I can say the biggest threat to improvement is not playing at all. I had a month long period of little to no motivation and it’s just important to find new and challenging songs to play.
I’m 43 and bought my first guitar 6 months ago. It’s just hanging on my wall. I don’t even know where to start. It’s so intimidating. I think if I could get over the initial beginning phase I would be ok. I’ve watched countless TH-cam videos on beginners guitar lessons but I just get stuck. Anyway great video man and congrats on the progress. You sound really good
I'm a beginner and I'm familiar with what you're describing. My advice is to identify what you're bad at, which might be as simple as being able to reach the low E string with all four fingers. Keep practicing that kind of thing, it's not fun but you'll slowly build new skills upon previous mastered ones, even if it's as simple as strumming one chord consistently. Even if you can only play one note, you can play with the rythm in your strumming hand and still create some interesting musical riffs.
Its all in your goddamn head the brain plays you..literally you procrastinate and you tend to be lazy then be productive come on lets remove that trash you're supposed to control your brain not your brain control you cant you see the reason we procrastinate is because of chemical reactions that are stopping us do things that benefits us, and would you let that chemicals(emotions) ruin your life, NO,right?.....now go get that god damn guitar and learn most of the successful people are the people who had overcomed this mindset
I can't believe I was 17 when I started playing, took lessons for a month and played every day until I got to a point where I could play chords pretty well and was actually pretty decent sounding, then one day I got busy with college, and fast forward to now, I'm 26 and realized how much time has passed. I'm happy with what I accomplished throughout the years, but guitar wasn't one of them and I wonder where I could be at if I spent 30 mins at night practicing for the last 9 years. Time flies jeez. Making it a goal to make up for that time now with good practice.
I've been learning during lockdown due to corona I posted a cover I did which I don't thinks too bad considering I'm a beginner also, your video was inspiring though and hope it gets more people playing
Same bohemian rhapsody was the first song I ever learned. Just finished GOAT last week and now I’m learning bubble dream by CHON. Also I started playing on 30th October so almost a year now
If you really want to do some finger style guitar. Learn Travis fingerpicking. Super easy and literly any song can be transcribed. But you are making awesome progress. Your right hand alternate picking is really good and will only progress from here. From what I hear, you maybe could benefit from learning the 5 minor blues positions. Or even just the first position with the Bottom of the second. There’s only about a million easy licks from that alone. Kudos to you sir. Cheers
Hang in there man!!!!!! I'll be eventually getting videos of me using my guitar but not till a while but hanging in with training just like you!!!! But I have got vocal covers on my channel feel free to check out!!!!!!! Keep the faith!!!!!!!!!!
Dude, I've been going though a phase of losing interest with trying to learn scales, but this honestly really helps out. Not giving up
Stay strong bro much love🎸
Hellll ya dude. Scales are the key! Lately I’ve been improving my rhythm so I can use them better
@@billshred7301 no ur ear is the key
@@mrfruiitzfruiit765 fax, it’s better to teach your ears to memorize sounds then to rely on scales
@@jewzy6558 They're both as important if you want to make good improvisation solos, if you only train your ear the only thing you're gonna be good at is covering other songs

Yep it’s awesome! Well I don’t sing but being able to pick up songs quickly is so refreshing
Yep. Then you can learn and play the songs for enjoyment, without getting sick of them before you've perfected it.
@Thomas, this. It's hard to explain but I remember when I first started I had troubles with playing simple chords or fingerpicking any songs. After a time of playing there's something that just snaps inside ur brain and it takes all the knowledge you have and bends it, like playdough. Learning new things really does get easier, you just have to be dedicated enough to learn your first hard song ever and that's when you'll notice how many songs have these similarities that makes it easier for you to learn them.
@@tunod- yeah it kinda catches you off guard, like you said, suddenly you can just do it and and it's so refreshing and satisfying
oh god really? I'm at that point and I still fumble so hard when trying to sing it's annoying. I've been playing for nearly 11 months
people really thought this was fake and that you didn't just pick up the guitar and learn for the year? anyone who has played guitar for a long period of time and can actually play well can see and hear the minor mistakes that someone with that little of experience makes. good progress for 1 year but it's clear that this video is legitimate.
If he is not faking his real skill, this is legit. It would be really Sad if this was 3-5 year guitar skill shown✌️😆
As someone who is 4 days in, is this guy learning at a fast pace? Should I expect to be at the same skill level in a year if I practice everyday?
@@LooterLoser no of course not. It all depends on your dedication to it really. Some people pick things up faster than others. But if you stay with it consistently and earnestly. You will see growth at the end of the year.

I've been playing for 13 years. I'm so glad you didn't reach my level within a year. I swear to god I would have just quit xD
But keep at it man! You know, in moderation so you don't end up surpassing me in 2 years ;)
Bad idea to rate yourself against other players. You will lose. Rate yourself against yourself.

@@calebmatiene4910 I'll give you a few days to come up with your answer if you're struggling.

Hey John, I've been doing the Justin guitar course for about a month now and learnt lots. You still practicing? If so how much have you improved now?
I’ve always had a guitar and I thought I could “play” but I sounded like my first day playing every time lol… so the beginning of April 2022 I bought a Mitchell MS450 and a Vox VT20X. I didn’t start playing till about the middle of April so I’m about 2.5-3 months in! It’s crazy to think the difference in my playing from when I started to where I am now! I can definitely appreciate your journey and my goal is to be able to play with a band by the 1 year mark! It’s been a tough journey but now I’m about to creep your channel and see where you are now!
Good progress man im at year 4 and pretty much learning music theory and working on my own stuff now. Keep it up man
Thanks dude
Jesus... you shure picked up a LOT of different guitars in 1 year....
And what? If he has money whats the problem? These People on the internet are funny af 😂😂
@@rodtuga4639 You're funny not him. He just said he picked up different guitars throughout the year. Normally a beginner has only 1 guitar or maybe 2 guitars. He just got suprised about it. Where's the funny thing about it?
Its normal for beginners to change Gear. I change strings every week until i find noisless phosphor bronze
@@rodtuga4639 He never said it was a problem? Get off dudes nutsack
@@billshred7301 Trust me, I know the feeling. Been playing for 4 months now and just ordered my 6 and 7th.
Gorgeous progress here ... so cool you filmed it all... impressive...enjoyed this very much... will come check on you again 😎🌹
Well done. People who don’t play don’t understand the time and patience required 👍
a lot of time and frustration. ups and downs
Woah my guitar anniversary is on the exact same day. May 19
Damn crazy that we started playing around the same time and most of the songs u played where my first too
Great progress and thanks for sharing on line. These videos are useful to compare our own progress to. You are doing really well.
Subbed to support your channel.
Thanks for the love!
Very cool. Loved your Fleetwood Mac solo.
yvezsus it’s a beautiful solo and pretty easy too! 🙏 thank u
An exercise that helped with my fret hand strength & movement is fingers 12/13/14/23/24/34 then 43/42/41/32/31/21 although you've made great progress goodstuff.
Man, your face when your girlfriend dissed you lol. Priceless.
Awesome progress dude. Inspiring
Loll right! Thx man
So wholesome, the whole video !
Best of luck ! Looking forward for more content ! :)
Thanks so much man!
Wow wow wow ! This was so inspiring on so many levels! The ending got me! When he said it's changed him in so many ways and given him so much. I felt that! I've been learning Spanish and I went from frustration were my head felt it would expload to one day waking up and just speaking Spanish - which felt like magic - it's given me so much more than just learning Spanish, the next level is to conquer the guitar! !
Amazing progress my man! I wish I had the same focus on getting harmonies and chords down. Keep it up!
Thanks dude I believe in u!
To anyone who says that it is fake, you don't have any idea what you are talking about. I hate how people try to take away from people's accomplishments just because they themselves cannot do it. The only thing I need to note that shows me this man indeed started as a beginner is his left hand thumb. His left hand thumb looks like someone who taught themselves, because it is actually bad hand positioning. His left hand thumb wraps around the fingerboard, which impedes his left hand technique a lot. The pad of the left thumb should rest around the middle of the fingerboard and move with the chord positions. It gets better as the video goes on, which shows me that he is indeed learning and practicing as he goes. The one thing I could say to you that would definitely make you better is to watch videos on how to hold the guitar. It might seem simple, but your technique will improve lots if you just fix that thumb! Kudos to you for learning guitar, and go Mean Green!
Thank you! I put in a lot of time, I don’t consider myself any better than anyone else... I just did nothing but play guitar every day haha
GMG!!
Mate get a loop pedal its loads fun and REALLY helps your playing and timing
Ya, couldn’t agree more, and loads of fun.
From month to month this guy had a new guitar
Why are there people thumbs downing..KEEP IT UP BROTHER,!!!!!!
Takes a lot of courage to share videos of yourself playing early on, great work man!
I'm glad I was recommended this...great job mate
Hmmm....I heard some Bloodhound Gang in there? Great job! Keep it up!
Absolutely incredible. I’m 15 and just started acoustic guitar as my grandad is in love with guitars too. This video really inspired me - defiantly Subscribing !!! 😎💗
Hows it going?
DUDE HOW MANY GUITARS DO YOU HAVE!!!! I have been playing for 2 and half years but still only have one electric and one accoustic. your lucky
Keep up the good work man!
thanks man. sub to watch me grow :)
Wow I’ve always wanted to learn how to play a guitar, this video gives me so much motivation, a few songs in this video were some songs I’ve always fantasized about playing, I never knew some of the songs was acoustic guitar, the more I know!!!
Good luck, man!)
This was really awesomel!!! Looks like when you started learning scales and moving them and chords/moving them around easier things started to get way better even though things were already amazing in the beginning!!! Hoping you have a really great year, with everything!
I Also hope to see another video too!! I'm thinking of putting all my random clips 7 months from now into a video to see how far I've changed too, it looks like youre shocked at how surreal it isi love it
Great job. People who have never picked up the guitar are the ones calling you a fake and a liar. Anyone who plays can tell . We have all been there. Again a great job. Keep it up. You are going g to be good.
Great work brother- you should be proud👍
Great progress! Well done!
Enjoy it, you have a lifetime of pleasure from the guitar ahead of you, the more you give, the more you get back.
I totally believe you and congratulations. I admire your efforts. This will always be your go to meditation. I recommend listening to some jazz guitarists like Pat Metheny or Wes Montgomery John Abercrombie etc. You will eventually get bored with rock.
Dennis Davidson Pat Metheny is the best!
Just found this video. Not sure if you're trying to do the whole youtube thing (you should!) but upload more guitar related content. I see you're into skateboarding as well but this right here is your bread and butter plus you have a chill personally which helps a lot. Picking up my guitar this week. Much love bro!
Gooe luck with everything pal
I’m around 11 months in playing guitar and I can say the biggest threat to improvement is not playing at all. I had a month long period of little to no motivation and it’s just important to find new and challenging songs to play.
Self-taught for the win! You're doing a great job, keep it up!
4:47 lmao even the cat doesn't like stairway to heaven
I’m 43 and bought my first guitar 6 months ago. It’s just hanging on my wall. I don’t even know where to start. It’s so intimidating. I think if I could get over the initial beginning phase I would be ok. I’ve watched countless TH-cam videos on beginners guitar lessons but I just get stuck. Anyway great video man and congrats on the progress. You sound really good
I'm a beginner and I'm familiar with what you're describing. My advice is to identify what you're bad at, which might be as simple as being able to reach the low E string with all four fingers. Keep practicing that kind of thing, it's not fun but you'll slowly build new skills upon previous mastered ones, even if it's as simple as strumming one chord consistently. Even if you can only play one note, you can play with the rythm in your strumming hand and still create some interesting musical riffs.
Its all in your goddamn head the brain plays you..literally you procrastinate and you tend to be lazy then be productive come on lets remove that trash you're supposed to control your brain not your brain control you cant you see the reason we procrastinate is because of chemical reactions that are stopping us do things that benefits us, and would you let that chemicals(emotions) ruin your life, NO,right?.....now go get that god damn guitar and learn most of the successful people are the people who had overcomed this mindset
So awesome man keep playing.💪💪💪💪💪💪💪☘️
keep it up bro, that's amazing!
keep it up man! go for it!
Always remember guitar learning is a marathon, not a 100m sprint.
I can't believe I was 17 when I started playing, took lessons for a month and played every day until I got to a point where I could play chords pretty well and was actually pretty decent sounding, then one day I got busy with college, and fast forward to now, I'm 26 and realized how much time has passed. I'm happy with what I accomplished throughout the years, but guitar wasn't one of them and I wonder where I could be at if I spent 30 mins at night practicing for the last 9 years. Time flies jeez. Making it a goal to make up for that time now with good practice.
I was waiting for the first metallica song to come in lmao, can’t not get around nothing else matters at some point
nothing else matters just hits different
I've been learning during lockdown due to corona I posted a cover I did which I don't thinks too bad considering I'm a beginner also, your video was inspiring though and hope it gets more people playing
nice man keep it up
4:41 I thought the cat's sound is my house lol
I love the bohemian rhapsody solo, that was the first thing I ever learned
I’ve been playing for 7 months and now I’m playing G.O.A.T and through the fire and flames
Same bohemian rhapsody was the first song I ever learned. Just finished GOAT last week and now I’m learning bubble dream by CHON. Also I started playing on 30th October so almost a year now
Goat isnt hard bruh
@@narwhal9365 I never said it was, but the fast part deeper into the song is hard and I’ve been playing for 7 months
@@jacob_joseph37 yea how long do you practice a day
Very inspiring man!
I’m just over a year now and you seem right along where I am.
Hell ya man we’ve been grindin
I'm excited to play guitar. I'm gonna get my first one soon and I am gonna be self taught.
If you really want to do some finger style guitar. Learn Travis fingerpicking. Super easy and literly any song can be transcribed.
But you are making awesome progress. Your right hand alternate picking is really good and will only progress from here.
From what I hear, you maybe could benefit from learning the 5 minor blues positions. Or even just the first position with the Bottom of the second.
There’s only about a million easy licks from that alone.
Kudos to you sir.
Cheers
Thank you!! I’ve come a long way since posting this and working on a new vid. I’m gonna look into the fingerpicking and blues scales
dude, I litteraly started practicing myself 1 day after you in the same year! that's crazy!
Hang in there man!!!!!!
I'll be eventually getting videos of me using my guitar but not till a while but hanging in with training just like you!!!!
But I have got vocal covers on my channel feel free to check out!!!!!!!
Keep the faith!!!!!!!!!!
Nice work! Keep it up!
thank you!
