this is genuinely the closest thing i’ve related to guitar wise. i didn’t look for shortcuts or buy items thinking it would help but everything else is spot on
Things are very different now, but here's my experience. I'm a self taught guitarist, born in the early '90s. This is before TH-cam and online lesson packages. We learned stuff by ear, or from dodgy tabs on Ultimate Guitar. I get the impression that a lot of learners today see it as a competition, and get discouraged when they compare their chops to people on TH-cam. Thinking you need to reach X grade in this amount of time, or do this or that exercise until it's drilled into you. For me and my equally music obsessed friends in high school, we just wanted to be in bands. So we learned what we liked... At 14, I spent an entire summer just devouring every classic rock and metal band I could get my hands on, and learned countless songs and techniques in the process. It was one of the happiest times of my life. When it came to a practice regimen, I didn't need one. I was obsessed with my guitar to the point where I'd be playing from the moment I came home from school, to the moment I went to bed. Often after bed time I'd be sitting in the dark, playing it unplugged as quietly as possible, long into the night. I drove my parents mad with it. I know this is a long post, but I just wanted to get across that it should be an enjoyable experience. Don't beat yourself up worrying about strict practice routines, how quickly you're progressing, how you compare to guitar prodigies you see on TH-cam, or whether you can play this thing you're not that into but everyone says is important to learn. If you play the music you actually love, progress will become effortless. Fuck the rest of it.
Absolutely! i had the same band mentality, and was just playing the thing all day and night for about 2 years straight, i did fall into the fancy gear trap, buying newer guitars and a few pedals. But i was playing actively for about 2 years, and semi actievly for another 3. Recently i hit a wall, so i had setup a jam with someone i knew who was playing for about 2 years thinking it would be fun but it made me realize how different non self taught players are. I didnt know anything, i was sitting next to some one who had been playing half as long as me and i felt like i've never even picked up a guitar. Now though i found the right people, and started taking things more seriously. im still not doing crazy practice regimes or anything, but just picking up scales, learning the pentatonic, and learning how to put notes together better.
@bluesrocker91 I had the passion to learn when I was in high-school but never had the drive, now I'm 28 and have a lot of responsibilities and little time to put into practice, but I have that drive and passion, I get home from work and start trying different strumming patterns from songs I'm listening to throughout the day I have the passion and drive but now lack the time How ever I enjoy every second I'm playing even if I'm repeating chird progression
Do you have ADHD by any chance? Because hyperfixation is a common trope in it. I have it and my obsession with computers was exactly how you define that with your guitar.
@@friedrichmyers I don't think so... It was just a moment when something clicked with the guitar for me and it was just a thrill to be on that train. I think it was just the perfect combination of being 14, hating school and needing an outlet for teenage frustration.
Do acid instead.... only way to get good at guitar (I legit got 100 times better because i took LSD 10 times throughout covid and played guitar for the 10-12 hours each time i did.) now i cured my writer's block completely and have 28 finished songs, another 40 that are like 80% done, and probably another 60 finished pieces of music i have yet to start writing lyrics for at all... recording soon enough, once i can afford a bit of studio time since i'm alone and will have to learn drums to complete my stuff.
Born in 79 and self taught out of necessity. Mom didn't have money for lessons so I learned from books from the thirties on up. Listened to eight tracks, cassettes, CDs and records. It worked for me. Everyone is different. My goal wasn't to be a rockstar or anything like that. It was and still is enjoyable to me. It has helped me out throughout my life when things were bad. Self taught and still playing 36 years later.
Recording yourself playing is so important. Being self taught is hard but I feel like self taught guitarists have a tendency to be the most unique players.
My version: 1# Trying to learn a lot without any form of organization 2# Not knowing how to play a basic chord progression or knowing how to strum properly 3# Only practicing alt picking for months 4# Always playing the same riffs 5# Playing Master of Puppets most of the time 6# Practicing a lot but then having stage fright whenever I play in public 7# Trying to learn songs, Thoery, and Technique all at the same time 8# Seeing other muscians playing and getting a bit upset because I'm still a beginner and imagining what it would be like to play to people or with other muscians 9# Lossing a guitar string and feeling demotivated 10# Dreaming about forming a band or playing with other people
i got my first guitar last week and i already find myself doing these. especially the watching tutorials which takes so long you dont have time to practice left.
@@Noscripts Ayyy that's awesome man! Make sure you stick to it, guitar is a lot of fun. BTW, Marty Music is a great channel for guitar tutorials, if you haven't discovered him yet.
As a self taught guitarist started in 1993 I found my most productive years were before we had the internet on our phones. Driven to learn because there was no other distractions. You just put in the time .
I am Self Taught player , for about 50 years , after a long time I could play 1 4 and 5 Chords all over fretboard . But Lead Guitar was a Mystery . Getting to know Notes on 6 String is a big help . I can do Variations of a Sort of Pentatonic Scale . After 3 Months Practice Practice Practice , and Muscle Memory in Fretting Hand , I can do a Passable Lead Guitar Solos . Do not give up . We are all at our own Level of playing .🎸
my experience has been eerily similar to yours. 50 years at it, could strum chords pretty well and sing at the same time after about 20 years or so, all pre-internet so in my case learning came from guitar tab books. Lead guitar was a Mystery for me also. Then, suddenly, my grandson sent me a TH-cam video describing the CAGE system about 3 years ago and for some reason, all the Pentatonic patterns I had been stumbling around with suddenly made sense and I began seeing them all over the fretboard based on the key of the song. I can now play lead, although not well, but at least I can play it and I get better every day. I do believe that 20 or more years of mastering chord strumming did help to eventually unlock the lead part, but it took a well made video to explain it to me in a way that I understood. So having said that, am I really self-taught, or did TH-cam teach me? Doesn't really matter, the thing that matters most to me is that I do it for fun. That's why I never really practice, I just pick up the guitar and have some fun. If I learn something along the way or get a little better along the way, that's just a bonus.
My experience is this... (i'm about to turn 21 on the 28th of december) Learned basic chords in 1st position.... learned a bunch of songs i liked... started training my ear... learned more songs i liked... Learned Am scale with 3 notes per string.... Bunch of lsd (10 trips over covid times in 2020-2021) Learned caged system... started writing my own stuff... found all of my creativity... my voice for singing, my lead/rythm, and composing.... as well as my ability to "shred" freely across the neck without any real thought about it.... I think everyone just needs bit of psychedelics with proper intention and a true dedication to the craft.... now i know all i need to know in order to write what i was born to write.... not too worried about shredding anymore, though i am still capable of it. it's just time and place, and showing off is a waste of time IMO
I'm a self-taught guitarist - never had a lesson - tho' I did get 10 years of classical piano and organ lessons - and now after nearly 55 years of playing guitar I can pick it up and fingerpick most tunes I've heard that I like that I've never played before - so I guess some skill eventually wore in there.
Bro really chose to speak fax. It's so comforting to know that regardless of our journeys with this instrument, we *all* have been there once or twice, and I love that!
Coming back to the only riff I know is so real ... Whenever I feel like what am I doing no progress where my journey go to ... Then that single riff I know calms me down 😭
First one actually stepped up my game lol I was 8-10 months into guitar and only learned a few chords (self taught and playing in my pace), but were pretty comfortable with them, having fun. Then I saw this kid (Feng E) play Gurenge in a way I never thought possible. Fortunately he did a tutorial and I followed along for a while, and a newfound obsession came over me that put me above the other guitarists at my school. TL;DR I compared myself to some Asian kid and got inspired
This and the other vid you posted have validated the past 9 years of my self-taught guitar life. I definitely feel justified now. 😅 I guess I wasn’t alone AFTER ALL! 😳
The most relatable out of them all is doing the same riff. I practice like 10 minites, play the Enter Sandman riff because that's the only thing I can do decently, rinse and repeat.
Why does seek and destroy never leave us. Why? I mean, you're practicing improvisation on modal scales but suddenly you feel that urge to play THAT riff. Even if the last time you listened to that song was like 15 years ago
I’ve been playing for 48 years and never had a lesson in my life . Sometimes I wish I had focussed more early on and taken lessons but I also realise that if I had done this I would be a very different player today and even though I may be more versatile as a player things would not be the same and I actually really like the style and approach that I have created alone . My confidence does suffer though when playing with “ proper “ musicians .
Truly how I live by as a beginner guitarist, I can't even afford tutorial lessons and expensive gear because I want to save money. I find it wierd yet pleasing that I teach myself Scorpions from the 80's rather than more recent bands, Polyphia being one which I never really know of. Hopefully I should be able to become better the more days go, I want to challenge myself to do so this 2025.
nah bro u did me dirty I was recently learning seek n destroy riff for 1st time then playing it casually and then I see your video 😭😭😭 love that shit bro keep it up
The recording bit definitely hit hard lol. I’ve just started recording and uploading on here and it’s been a love/hate relationship, mostly love though.
I’m a self taught guitarist. I have the money to pay for lessons thanks to the job that I have but I choose not too because I picked up everything from YT very quickly. Also I like being a self taught guitarist, I feel like we’re more creative.
The recording thing I think is very beneficial, they say practice makes perfect isn’t true, Perfect practice makes perfect, restarting it over and over till u get it right helps a lot for me
Sounds about right. The only part that didn’t sound right was recording myself, but that’s because I only had a handheld cassette recorder. That was like a big fat iPhone.Back in the days when if you wanted to find a position on the tape you had to use the counter dial in the tape recorder which never correlated to the same position on the tape. That was before minidisc recorders came out. Before I got the Zoom H2, which is still the perfect recorder, btw. So, yes - I would say this is dead on
I taught myself to play bass, and I can say that that's exactly what it looked like as well😅 But hey guys, if you're struggling with it: Just keep going, it really is going to get better with practice and time. You can do it, don't give up! And also: you rock!!🎸🫶🏼
Same thing but I don't have a cool velvet red electric. I have a 15 year old Yamaha acoustic which was passed down and I had to fix it using aluminiun. 😢
I’m exactly like that!!! …but I’m learning to watch a lesson (from whoever jives with you) , take notes, turn off everything except for your amp and focus!!!!!
joker, you should try to get accustomed to plug your right thumb not "into the hand" but to the left of your indexfinger. it feels stupid first but after short time you will feel the fingers do no longer cross ways sotospeak and you get more precice and faster and less efford in movement.
I'm a self taught guitar player, and I don't actually take guitar or any instrument seriously. They all have more in common with a kazoo to me, honestly, so any serious critique from a musician of any skill level is... amusing.
I bought a pack of 100picks like 10years ago, my house is full of picks, wherever i sit 😂😂 i just have to look around to find one or two… it s like find objects games at this point😂
I started playing in the late 70s No internet. On shit guitars, working out tunes on cassette. I used to just bug the shit out of good players to give me a lesson here and there. By the time I was 17 I was playing in biker bars and blues dives with guys older and better than myself. Sink or swim. Nerve wracking shit sometimes. Getting a Guitar Player lesson and tape took 6 to 8 weeks to arrive in Australia. Jimmy Page was the first one I got. Now you can get online and have incredible lessons giving away secrets that used to cost a fortune to learn. Been playing 40+ years and I’m still crap at it. 😂
this is genuinely the closest thing i’ve related to guitar wise. i didn’t look for shortcuts or buy items thinking it would help but everything else is spot on

It truly is about practicing, being consistently persistent
Perfect my strumming friend! You’ve displayed my life for the last 30 years!
Run out of time for practicing after watching tutorials is very relatable 😢
very relatable. But also we can come up with very cool riffs and songs which school going musicians are not able to do.

Thats so true, I remember recording one solo for like 7 hours 😭
🥲 ikr... mom calls in the middle of one time getting it right... (piano/flute)
Literally was playing Johnny B Goode while watching this.
Ooo that Taylor gs mini Koa is gorgeous

Will do

Please don't tell anyone how I live

This is so accurate my two guitars (although different brands to yours) look almost identical to yours.
We are all really sharing the same experience. Feel less isolating.
As a self-taught guitarist, for the past 3 months of playing the acoustic guitar, every second of this video is literally me. holy LMAO.

I am a CHILD self taught guitarist. I can have time to practice, and I do it almost everyday
Good for you. Same ish. College makes it harder
i’m a child self taught guitarist with no time 2 practice 😭 (i literally did this to myself)
Same here!!
Am a child and i can practice 2 hours a day :)))
@ I manage to get half of my day on guitar
Broooo coming back to that Metallica riff is mee!! 😆😆😆
Damn the search and destroy parts hits home
1:00 this was litterally me 2 days ago. Velvet ring and everything.
I heavily relate to the zoning out thing haha.
I spend a lot of time playing to jam tracks.. you forgot that one. Oh and never ending tweaking my modeller tone.. need to add that!! 😅
The recording thing I think is very beneficial, they say practice makes perfect isn’t true,
Perfect practice makes perfect, restarting it over and over till u get it right helps a lot for me
Sounds about right. The only part that didn’t sound right was recording myself, but that’s because I only had a handheld cassette recorder. That was like a big fat iPhone.Back in the days when if you wanted to find a position on the tape you had to use the counter dial in the tape recorder which never correlated to the same position on the tape. That was before minidisc recorders came out. Before I got the Zoom H2, which is still the perfect recorder, btw. So, yes - I would say this is dead on
Hilarious! I'm there! Great video! _(except for the Green Bay shirt)_
Go pack go 🙏🙏
Painfully relatable
felt this 100%
I taught myself to play bass, and I can say that that's exactly what it looked like as well😅 But hey guys, if you're struggling with it: Just keep going, it really is going to get better with practice and time. You can do it, don't give up! And also: you rock!!🎸🫶🏼
I feel attacked.
It hurts sometimes 😢
Relatable on a whole other level
😭
The most relatable thing on here is recording and deleting and recording again OVER AND OVER 🤣
Yup😭😭
Same thing but I don't have a cool velvet red electric. I have a 15 year old Yamaha acoustic which was passed down and I had to fix it using aluminiun. 😢
i was expecting u to mess up right at the end and having to redo it at the recording urself part, that's happened to me too many times lol
this is so relatable when I was still starting my first year of playing 😂😂
I’m exactly like that!!! …but I’m learning to watch a lesson (from whoever jives with you) , take notes, turn off everything except for your amp and focus!!!!!

Didn't know there were cameras installed in my room, goddamn.

This is so real 😭

This is almost spot on 😂
The deleting part omg.😭😭😭 I'm 8 months in, just learned CCR have you ever seen the rain.
I started playing in the late 70s
No internet. On shit guitars, working out tunes on cassette. I used to just bug the shit out of good players to give me a lesson here and there. By the time I was 17 I was playing in biker bars and blues dives with guys older and better than myself.
Sink or swim. Nerve wracking shit sometimes.
Getting a Guitar Player lesson and tape took 6 to 8 weeks to arrive in Australia. Jimmy Page was the first one I got.
Now you can get online and have incredible lessons giving away secrets that used to cost a fortune to learn.
Been playing 40+ years and I’m still crap at it. 😂
this is amazing
1:31 you could assume or tell it's a self taught Guitars by the finger positions lol (I know it's just an example)
Actually idk I could be wrong I just don't think the finger should be used and be having to be moved around but I've never played this piece/song.
1:00 velvet ring mentioned??
YESSS
