Remember this video when you see someone play a tasty riff then brag about only playing for 6 months. You can be amazing at one part of guitar, but it takes dedication and consistency be able to move between styles. OK, so you played a sweet arpeggio. Do you know what note is the root? Can you play that chord across the neck?
@@Stormfire1777 Ouch, my intent was to be inspirational. Do not lose heart when you see a guitar player that is "better" than you. Focus on your craft and pursue a style what is meaningful to you.
@DickEnchilada Fair enough. Messing around with power chords on bass is plenty of fun, actually. Shame the low end of the E and A strings are too muddy to make the root and 5th sound discernible. :(
i think the app really wants users to learn the music theory. not every musician learn music by learning the theory, though, that's the thing. if you want to focus on the theory, you should get a real teacher, not an app. so yeah, this app is pretty garbage if i say so myself.
It is easy and helpful. However, the learning process of each individual is different. For example, some students might need more visual/auditory demonstrations to understand exactly what they're learning, and that's when hiring a REAL teacher would be necessary, and might prove to be more helpful than paying full-price for a mobile app. I don't know about other 'guitar-pros' that you might be thinking about, but based on Nik's video, he doesn't necessarily care about musical theory mumbo-jumbo (hence, the "i dont know the chord names, give me the tabs!"). And that doesn't make him any less-skilled or a bad musician, it means he has his own technique and formula for himself to learn, that he already feels comfortable with. Not being able to follow instructions on a "learning mobile app" does not mean a beginner musician is dumb. It may because they're simply overwhelmed, or have no idea what the lessons are, what's the importance of learning these topics. I think what these "online music learning apps" do bad at, is that they try so hard to convince beginners to be their mandatory learning source. While this is not usually the case, beginners might be appealed to waste money on online features that may be less helpful than hiring a real teacher.
Honestly yousician helped me a lot, and I continue to use it for the random chord challenge thing it has. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to learn guitar from nothing.
I used it to learn piano because there isn’t many programs like it for that purpose, but as far as guitar goes I would personally spend the money and get rocksmith 2014. It’s just a much more enjoyable experience. It has a lot more songs that you’re more likely to actually recognize and enjoy, a more streamlined looking display, technique specific lesson videos and practice games, and the narrator isn’t so patronizing and doesn’t bug you about getting the premium version between every single song. Rocksmith+ is also an option that doesn’t look bad but I haven’t personally used it so I can’t speak for it.
In before Davie504 starts "beef" with Nik It'll be good for the growth for Nik's underrated channel, he deserves a hell of a lot more subs and supporters for a man of his talent
@@watersnortmoment3734 literally first thing I did was learn every note on the fretboard and why chords are named and constructed. Basically I got an intro to music theory book and it made learning SO much easier than just reading tabs and memorizing shapes as seems to be the popular method anymore.
Such a fun and funny video. I was laughing from begining to end. Would love to see more stuff like this. I don't even play an instrument and still found this video immensely entertaining. Keep up the good work. 💕❤💕
Please do more like this. You have some humor to videos but I don’t know what it is, you losing your shit at everything “yousician has to offer” was just funny as hell to me. If this wasn’t a sponsored video from them then it should be because I was losing my shit. Keep up the vids! **(edit) I missed where he said it wasn’t sponsored first time around. My bad on that.**
Great video! Nice to see someone in the guitar community just having fun and being real. Beginners need to see this so they won't feel like giving up guitar. They will feel inspired 😎👍.
So you prevented me from this as a beginner. Now i'm sure, I will only use tabs my entire life as headphone PC guitarist. Thank you so much. I've learned much more in this video than i ever would with this app hahah
It looks frustrating because that genius did not use practice mode, how the fuck are you supposed to play something that you don't know. Besides, yousician is kinda entry-level low-cost teaching app, it won't make anyone guitar god without them actually learning on their own without that app. I used it back in the days, but stopped after they made any popular song paid.
I swear to God that I've never found an ad so fucking insistent than Yousician. Every ad that my phone shows me begins with DO YOU WANT MASTER THE GUITAR? my god
Well, in the app's defense, I never played a guitar before, and I'm in level 6 after 2 months, I learned a lot even if is just 10 min per day, it worth a try
Cant tell you how many times I've downloaded this app trying to give it a second chance, then deleting it a minute later because of how frustrating it is
I remember EADGBe with “Every Acid Dealer Gets Busted Eventually” and BEADGBe for my 7-string using “Boy, Every Acid Dealer Gets Busted Eventually.” It appeals to my humor and it works. 12/10 would recommend over that stupid eddie ate dynamite shit
*BUT HAVE YOU HEARD OF YOUSICIAN!?*
*Smash that like button so I can slow down my tempo*
I did not know singing was an option in Yousician.
You didn’t recognize the chromez and foxes in your audience.

😂
You want me to name the notes? Uh, that’s Adam, Bryson, Carson, David, Elliot, Francis, and Greg.
I’ve always wanted to play the guitar, but the beginnings always seem so slow and frustrating,
That's because it is. And it is so worth it if you love music
It sucks until it doesn't. Just practice as much as possible.
I learned from a fucking book.v
it hurts your fingers & hand for like, a month or two, then you'll start getting better :)
Just make sure to practice everyday if you can~

BB king learned guitar by yousician and simply guitar
Fun fact: There IS actually an H note, as B is listed in Germany, Scandinavia, and Slavic countries as an H, leaving B flat to be marked as simply B
The good ole Bach motif!
Yeah and you know why it is like that? Somebody was too dumb to close the circle in the b so it became an h and everyone adopted it 🤦🏻♂️
Yea, like 373737626363 years ago Nobody in swe atleast says H lol
Not so fun when you live there.

Been playing almost 8 years, can play fast metal stuff but has no clue what any of the chord names and shapes are. I think alot of people can relate.
