@@DiscoDevil You're very welcome... If you have any questions feel free to reach out.. I've been at it for 30 years and might be able to help you out....
I feel the biggest issues new players always make is always trying to play up to speed right away. I wish I would've tried slowing down and playing to a metronome when I start, it has helped me infinitely to progress when I hit a wall. Still great progress in a year for sure
Awesome video man. Out of curiosity, did you just learn guitar by learning your favourite songs or did you also take the beginner lessons from youtube like Justin Guitar/Marty music for example. Keep up the good work!!
@@Thommmmmmmmmmmmmmmm not really, you also need to know about mute picking, tremolo picking, licks, and some tapping, so you can't really start with metal but yeah If you want to start with metal it's completely fine
I've been playing regularly for 37 years, gigging for about 24 years. Your first year progress is exceptionally good. One piece of advice I would like to give you is that you should make a disciplined point to branch off and play other genres. Blues, Southern Rock, Classic Rock, ect. You do not need to abandon and you should not abandon your passion for metal but it will greatly contribute to your growth, knowledge and skill to venture into other genres of Rock. If you seriously take this advice, you will understand in a couple of years how valuable and important the advice was. Anyway, great job in your first year !!
Yeah totally agree with this. For example, many Blues songs are amazing for practicing some tasty bends and vibratos, with more emphasis on 'feel' than speed.
if you dedicate 1 year to one thing practicing 6+ hours daily you'd b e surprised how much you could accomplish. I never wrestled until 8th grade (jiu jitsu for 2 years) and the next 2 years I won the WV state championship once with a torn labrum. When I joined the Military I dedicated my time to learning Afroasiatic languages 6 hours daily. I became orally fluent in Bagdadi and Mesopotamian Arabic (Spoken in the Levant) after 10 months and Hausa (Nigeria/Niger) after 16 months.
One thing I noticed is gear. People underestimate how much new gear can help a new player, not by quality of the gear itself, but motivation. Now I'm unsure if that is completely new gear, but I'm sure playing with a new guitar often helped keep you motivated.
@@idontreadreplies.252 Yes it is, I thought my guitar sounded like shit but it was actaully the amplifier itself, I got the Roland Micro Cube Gx and the guitar sounds pretty decent
Yes yes yes. I had a thrifted Harmony electric that I was grateful but hardly touched. My cousin got me a brand new Squire Stratocaster and I’m never putting it down
For anyone who wants to comment on the ridiculous amount of guitars in the video. I would often buy used guitars and If I didn't like them, I would just resell them. Which is something I recommend doing as a beginner. Currently I own four guitars ;)
Yea. Tbh its really annoying.. Im a beginner and ive got the ghost fret pro 2018 which cost about 1000$. I got it from someone for 500$ and its new and not been used for half a year.. Everyone i know says i dont need such an expensive guitar, but if ill get better its prob worth the price
impressive, playing for a year accoustic now just started on electric oef hard time gettong used to the powerchords.. you're still young progress is fast. well done!
Haha that might be because I didn't do anything else other than downpicking xD My advice would be to do various warm up excercises with a metronome, and learn to play some downpicking metallica songs then.
as someone who started learning in July 2019, this video is really inspirational. You should be really proud of how much you learned in such little time.
@@chocolatemilk2003 I played the violin for 12 years, but then I got sick of it. I was mostly doing it for extra credit in high school. In 12th grade I discovered metal, and decided I would start playing as soon as I graduated.
It's new year's day here in the Philippines. While everyone is busy celebrating, here I am watching this video. Hoping this would inspire to continue playing. Btw, I just bought my first electric guitar today.
the whole time i was watching this i was like "he looks like the type of dude who would have a don't tread on me flag" then i saw it and was like "BROOOOOO"
Fuck man you are giving me anxiety how tf you got so good so fast, I've started myself for like 6 months now and I'm not even like a quater of what u are
Practice and dont play the same thing everyday. I try to learn 2-3 songs a week and play them as perfectly as I possibly can, next week I repeat the songs I learnt to warm up then I learn some new songs. There was a time where I was playing the same stuff over and over and I wasnt really improving. I'm pretty sure that if you practice 1h a day and pick up songs that teach you all kinds of things you'll get where he is in no time.
I started playing bass a little 75 dollar pawn shop special neck built like a banana but it worked then I had a LTD bass give to me and still have it but eventually when I was in a band one night I went and picked up our guitarist rig and sat in a bean bag all night just playing bass riffs on the guitar but once I started to notice certain sounds I ventured off and that morning I was playing some Metallica and Nirvana riffs and had the guitarist wondering how I just picked it up in a night. From there I bought a B.C. Rich warlock and played more learned more Metallica of course sold the B.C. Rich and just got a Ibanez but I still play both bass and guitar just depends on if I want to thrash the house or shake the house
@@justinmaxwell8742 I started 4 years ago with Justinguitar's beginner course on youtube. Well organized, nicely explained and teaches you all the basics. After that course, you'll have a good understanding of fundamentals and you'll be able to easily learn some harder, more advanced stuff :) good luck my dude!
@@DiscoDevil No for real haha. I’ll get into it for a week or so and then not touch the guitar for 6 months to a year and then it’s like starting over again practically 😂 But your video makes me want to play so 👍
I have been playing for a little less than 2 years, and I have hit the point where I can play just about anything, I’ve been told I learned in a very short amount of time but every day of my life was spent working at it so keep it up man
Dude just like me since 2018 on acoustic and 2020 on electric learning acdc, iron maiden, judas priest and black sabbath riffs. In 6 months my fingers got into new level to play the trooper. Every song I was learning it took me three days to get it right and day after day getting used it. My secret to learn riffs that are difficult to play is listening every song over and over while doing air guitars while following the beat. And thats why I am good at playing I've been doing this exercise for years before picking a guitar.
I don't know how much hours you are putting into practice every day but I doubt that's on year progress because of that downpicking speed in Master of Puppets, and you must have bought a new guitar every 1 or 2 months. I am guitar player too and I can say that so much confidence, will power/courage, muscle memory and coordination doesn't come in just one year.
All I can say is that this was honestly a year. The reason why my downpicking imrpved quite fast is that it was literally all I did. I couldnt laternate pick very well. Also, it really depends on the pick you use and how warmed up you are.
I took this same journey in March 2020 and I am self taught too. I get the feeling of you learning this it is just so cool. I also have the same love for Metal, and bands like Metallica. Your insane.
just gonna let you know wich you probably already know when you become a guitarist the addiction to guitar never stops i have about 7 i have 8 if you include my base but i have 9 insturments in all if you include a piano also a good way to get better is to play other instruments as well like piano or base it will open up new opportunities
That's really good progress indeed! You have developed a pretty decent picking technique rather quickly. Not much excess movement in your right hand, very efficient. Keep going, you have lots of potential!
Good video. Based on how long ago this was posted I can’t wait to see your two year mark. I’ve started playing last December and I can finally play both solos from psychosocial. That may sound good but I still struggle in other areas so yeah the problem with being self taught is you can miss important stuff
My Guitar teacher told me 8 years ago „ practice Metallica Songs, its really Good exercise“ so i did it too an yes, to Cover their Songs is an awesome exercise in my opinion. Good Job dude 🤘🏼
Ordered a guitar myself a while ago. Should be here around February or March. I’m gonna be a self taught adult trying to play metal too. Your progression was awesome man, very inspiring. Got a new sub 🤘🏾
Thank you! You’re really motivating me, I picked up the guitar almost 3 weeks ago and I’ve constantly been thinking if I should continue, I’ve learn like 3 riffs and 5 chords so far but I’m planning to work harder. Keep on rocking!
After playing for 2.5 years now I haven't noticed crazy improvement in my left hand but my right had has much better timing and control now. I'm starting to try to learn hard solos just to build up my left hand now. Creeping death is a work in progress for that solo
Congrats man!! Definitely give it a go! Some songs are: Seek and Destroy by Metallica Battery by Metallica Creeping Death by Metallica Master of Puppets by Metallica Shortest Straw by Metallica Raining Blood by Slayer Hardwired by Metallica I am the State by Havok Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne Breaking the Law by Judas Priest I will post a detailee timestamp videi very soon
Dang its been five months and ill just say the guitar aint for me. I cant seem to get good and I just bought a piano and it feels so much easier and better at the moment. I barely use the guitar so i think ill use it later on and ill just keep having fun with the piano.
Yeah great job man! i have been fooling around with the guitar on and off in the last 3 years without actually "learning", i really want to pick up as a daily habbit starting this new year, thank you for the inspiration! You ROCK!
He’s as good as I am after 10 years of playing. But my mistake is that I never did exercises for speed precision dexterity and never learned the scales and music theory. I was just learning songs. Don’t be as dumb as I was
This is kind of a stupid question but, the more you played different songs the better you got? I'm starting to learn guitar myself and I don't know if I just keep playing songs if I would get as good as you in a year
It's a very good question actually :) Yes, learning different songs will help you pick up off the different techniques in them. Try to learn your favorite songs and you will pick up the techniques passively :)
Ok your progress is real but dates in this video seem to be not realistic...it's impossible to start in march and achieve that speed, precision and coordination in august...you also switched like 6 guitars in 6 months...
If you want to be a pro at playing metal learn to play jazz and blues. If you want to be a pro at solos learn some glam metal solos. You’ll be a virtuoso in no time. You’ll have people’s jaws drop I promise you.
Great job man. I'm impressed by your picking speed after only 1 year. I'm 9 months into learning, and I'm a bit older than you (27) so I can't quite play battery up to speed like you did, I'm still stuck at 80-85% speed on that song.
This is my Band's TH-cam Channel!

thanks for the tip man and the encouraging words :)
damn he pops the raining blood in 1 year the first song i want to learn is definetly master of puppets on guitar
thanks man :)

awesome man, Keep rockin
me too i play 1 year guitar
Nice Dude
Thanks 🔥
I still can’t play that part of raining blood .___.
keep practicing!
Definitely not self taught, you fucking rock dude🤟🏻
Pretty sure im self taught ;) Thanks mantw
Bruh this guy literally plays master of puppets in 4 months
not very clean though hahha and definitely not at full speed
And downpicked*
I think starting guitar with metal Is the best thing because the song are so demanding in some cases it really helps boost progress
@@Thommmmmmmmmmmmmmmm not really, you also need to know about mute picking, tremolo picking, licks, and some tapping, so you can't really start with metal but yeah If you want to start with metal it's completely fine

its all practice and dedication :) try to pick it up as often as you can, youll imrpove like mad i promise
that last clip... oh fuck... stick to rhythm mate
he's a true guitarist look at his faces when he plays, keep rocking man
hahahah the faces were nearly the reason why i didnt upload this video. thanks dude
Ordered a guitar myself a while ago. Should be here around February or March. I’m gonna be a self taught adult trying to play metal too. Your progression was awesome man, very inspiring. Got a new sub 🤘🏾
Hell yeah dude! Congrats on the Decision. Just try it and don't you give up!
tbh I was hoping your hair would be dyed at the end of the year...
Am sorry to disappoint xD Maybe next year! hahah
A really fun band to play is Motley Crue
Thank you!
You’re really motivating me, I picked up the guitar almost 3 weeks ago and I’ve constantly been thinking if I should continue, I’ve learn like 3 riffs and 5 chords so far but I’m planning to work harder.
Keep on rocking!
hell yeah dude, keep it up! try to learn a favorite song of yours :)
After playing for 2.5 years now I haven't noticed crazy improvement in my left hand but my right had has much better timing and control now. I'm starting to try to learn hard solos just to build up my left hand now. Creeping death is a work in progress for that solo
I should do the same!
I just got a strat for Christmas and I wanna learn how to use it. This inspires me a lot.
Congrats man!! Definitely give it a go! Some songs are:
Seek and Destroy by Metallica
Battery by Metallica
Creeping Death by Metallica
Master of Puppets by Metallica
Shortest Straw by Metallica
Raining Blood by Slayer
Hardwired by Metallica
I am the State by Havok
Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne
Breaking the Law by Judas Priest
I will post a detailee timestamp videi very soon
Tysm I will definitely learn these songs
Dang its been five months and ill just say the guitar aint for me. I cant seem to get good and I just bought a piano and it feels so much easier and better at the moment. I barely use the guitar so i think ill use it later on and ill just keep having fun with the piano.
Nice Video, the first guitar is a Bullet Strat right? I have the black version.
Thank you :) I'm not sure, it came with some sort of Starter Kit my father bought years ago haha.
Yeah great job man! i have been fooling around with the guitar on and off in the last 3 years without actually "learning", i really want to pick up as a daily habbit starting this new year, thank you for the inspiration! You ROCK!
awesome man! try to learn songs you love :=) it helps keep you motivated
also thank you
He’s as good as I am after 10 years of playing. But my mistake is that I never did exercises for speed precision dexterity and never learned the scales and music theory. I was just learning songs. Don’t be as dumb as I was
i should do that...thank you
This is kind of a stupid question but, the more you played different songs the better you got? I'm starting to learn guitar myself and I don't know if I just keep playing songs if I would get as good as you in a year
It's a very good question actually :) Yes, learning different songs will help you pick up off the different techniques in them. Try to learn your favorite songs and you will pick up the techniques passively :)
@@DiscoDevil thanks!
Ok your progress is real but dates in this video seem to be not realistic...it's impossible to start in march and achieve that speed, precision and coordination in august...you also switched like 6 guitars in 6 months...
buying and reselling used guitars, borrowing guitars, consistent practice.
Man's got that FFDP drip
Dude got new electric guitar with humbuckers and floyd rose in less than a year. While, i have been playing the same cheap strat for two years now.
Not all the guitars in the videos were mine and i also currently only own 4
Bruh I've been playing for almost 2 years and still can't play master of puppets, well done!
thank you :)=
If you want to be a pro at playing metal learn to play jazz and blues. If you want to be a pro at solos learn some glam metal solos. You’ll be a virtuoso in no time. You’ll have people’s jaws drop I promise you.
thanks for the tip!
TIME TO JOIN A BAND BRO
I love how you started out by playing metal on a strat lol
Hahahaha Gotta work with what ya got
Say that to kirk hammet
Man that’s pretty inspiring! How many hours a day did you practice for that year?
thanks man :) Somewhere between 30mins and 3 hours a day although some days i left out
the progres is simply awesome
good job dude
Thank you man ❤️
That progress tho!! Blows me outta the water with my progress haha (been playing about 10 months)
dont give up! youll be shredding in no time :)
Great job man. I'm impressed by your picking speed after only 1 year. I'm 9 months into learning, and I'm a bit older than you (27) so I can't quite play battery up to speed like you did, I'm still stuck at 80-85% speed on that song.
Thanks man! You'll manage eventually :) Try different pick types... once i switched to the s Jazz 3 max grips, My picking improved massively!
Dude had more guitars during his first year than I ever have in my 15 years of playing :v
Yeah this dude likely had someone in the family who played also, who knows. I've got couple guitars from my dad.
i would often buy used guitars, if i didnt like them -> resell them.
