"I have a habit of trying to play songs I know I'm not ready for..." that's perfect, because that's how you learn, ofc you're not going to be ready for it, if you were ready, you wouldn't be learning anything new. learning guitar well requires harrrd work and if you don't take on songs you know you can't play, you'll never get better

I don't understand. Why is everyone saying it's difficult?

My dad bought me a guitar for my 15th birthday after I had begged for so long. I played on and off but never consistently enough to play an entire song. My dad played guitar his whole life but with him and my mom divorcing I never could be taught by him daily. I eventually gave up. I’m 25 now and all of a sudden I really want to try again. It’s amazing how much you learned in just a year. Super inspiring and shows how much effort you put. Thanks for sharing
Same here, when I was 15 I borrowed from my cousin her guitar and started learning by myself, but I never was consistently enough (like playing random songs without a learning plan) when I was 18 I gave up because I was struggling and felt like I wasn't improving anymore. I'm 24 now and really want to go back and try again
i’m in the same situation kind of but how i do it is that my dad teaches me different chords and techniques and when i’m at my moms is just practice them and then the next ‘lesson’ he can kind of evaluate my progress and move on to other stuff
Didn’t think I could relate so much, it just hasn’t been 10 years for me. I’m trying to play, mostly, for my dad and message him whenever I’m having trouble with something
"Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" is a good choice. "Isn't She Lovely" is an excellent choice! And I too am always learning songs that are too difficult for me. Though, I often find that if I play them slowly and cleanly and increase the tempo afterward, then over time they become less above my pay grade. Keep rockin'! :D

This is the most insane progress ive seen. Being able to play and sing at the same time took me over 3 years. Not kidding. You did it in 1 month. Wow. The dedication you gave to the guitar inspired me and ive been playing for 8+ years
I also learned to sing and play at the same time quickly. One great tip is to learn to play the entire song first, just the guitar. Then to try and play it slowly while you sing. Then increase the speed until you're playing and singing at normal speed.

The "my fingers hurt so bad" is so freaking relatable lol. I've been playing bass for 9 years now, started when I was 11 (upright bass for 8 years, bass guitar for 1 year). There was a point when I had to play my upright bass, which is acoustic, in a Jazz band, so I had to pluck extra loud; lead to me having calluses on all my fingers because I switched fingers often since the previous (callused) one hurt to pluck. Good times. Awesome video and I hope you keep with your passion for music. I feel that music is eternal and everyone finds pleasure in different forms of music. Music is a universal language, Its awesome. I'll subscribe and let's see how far you could reach. *BTW reach for the stars and beyond.
Is there somone whom I can ask some questions plz this is important 😭 I can't do the chords my hands gets hurt or even sometimes I get wounded by the strings I'd it becuz I over tightened the string or is it common I tuned thos strings using an app
I can relate to this so much. I bought my first guitar during the weekend before lockdown, because I predicted that the stores would close soon and I really wanted a guitar. It’s 2 and a half years later and I’m the electric guitarist of the school band :)
i always love seeing people improving week by week! i also startet learning guitar since two months and i really can see the challenge! ceep on going!!
I find it incredible that in your first month you can sing and play, when i've been playing bass for 6 years and guitar for two and I still cannot! I am very impressed by your playing and please keep it up, from one player to another
On my first days of trying to learn to play. I can play a bit of piano but I have found so much respect for people who play the guitar. I really hope to progress as much as you did. Until then I will enjoy the journey and bruise my fingers on the strings. Good luck to other beginners
Depends on if you specifically practice singing + playing. I used to think I couldn’t do it too lol. Then I tried, initially it was hard but soon it becomes second nature. Especially if you start realizing what strumming happens when singing a certain word (kind of).
@@Itsgyroyeah I’m practicing a little more and I could sing and play only a few songs like boulevard of broken dreams from Green Day and smells like teen spirit from nirvana.
aree you learning it by urself or do u have any instructor bc im looking out to buy a guitar and learn it for fun by myself by watching for example yt tutorials and im asking u to see if its possible to learn it by urself
I saw this video of yours last year when I had been learning guitar for about three months. I used to hold it horizontally, and then blamed my "small hands" for not being able to reach any of the upper strings without much discomfort. Then I saw your video, and realized you started holding it at about 45 degrees angle, then discovered that there's a whole different world of classical guitar that I didn't even know about. I corrected my posture, then dived into classical guitar technique, and it massively transformed my playing. If I hadn't stumbled upon this video, I might as well have given up on guitar altogether, so thanks for sharing your journey!
bar chords are so painful until you finally get the hang of them, so good job for persevering through them 🥳 I'm same as you because I went from acoustic to electric, and immediately tried to learn some fancy riffs.
for anyone watching to teach yourself an instrument like a guitar, ukulele, etc, I honestly recommend just finding an easy song you like, and memorizing it. For example, I taught myself to play the ukulele and although it was difficult at first, I can now play virtually any song. Also, memorize the most popular cords used in songs, because a lot of them will be in most songs, that way when you want to learn a new song, you don't have to memorize a bunch of new ones, because you already know them. Also following along to play-along songs helps a LOT. (this is just the way i taught myself, might not be ideal for a lot of people.
Got a guitar on my 18th birthday from my friends (I love em so much) so as I wanna learn how to play it well before my friends birthday, you inspire me so much that I could improve in just a year!
Good job x I've been producing music and playing piano for 3-4 years and I started to learning guitar 2 weeks ago as well It keeps me motivated when I see how other people progressing, keep it up you're amazing!:)
Your voice and guitar skills are both CRAZYYY, one time i was in the house of my friend with my other friends and he started playing the guitar, he is a new learner, he only knows 1-2 songs but i liked the instrument, and decided i will learn to play the guitar with him. Now i play on his guitar but i'll but myself one in a couple of days and will go to a (music school). This really did push me closer to believing in myself and to learning to olay the guitar, thank you appreciate it keep up the good work, I love you❤️
Keep going. It's been 18mos. for me, it gets super fun when muscle training, fingers, catches up with the ambition of sound you have in mind. You sound great. Login your post 💕🎸❤️🔥
I'm currently learning how to play various songs with my brother's neglected guitar, and I stumbled upon this video. This video gave me inspiration to keep continuing it 💓💞
amazing progress and i love the singing clips ! your voice is beautiful its amazing how you guys progress so fast iv never been able to progress that fast built different !
Seems like a genuine 1 year guitar progress. I've always wanted to buy an electric guitar but mom and dad don't want one. So I'm saving up on my own hope i could buy one soon.
This is such good improvment and you're such a quick learner! You learned more in 1 month than what I've learned throughout school guitar classes. I started playing guitar by taking classes but its so amazing how well you picked up on it, also the fact you taught yourself with only videos. godd job!🤩
this is so realistic unlike some other progression vids lmao, i also started abt a year ago now but i think ive practiced so much more than you since i dont prioritise school as much as im supposed to. anyways, lately and for the past few months ive played for abt 4-5 hours a day (unhealthy) and i totally respect your video considering you said you stopped for a while for schoolll
Continue practicing, never give up on what you are doing unlike me 😇 I forgot all of my knowledge on guitar and singing nice to see new generation improving their skills time to time.
I started learning the guitar tdy and this showed up in fyp after I watched sum tutorials. I’m SO GLAD it did cuz seeing your journey is so inspiring and makes me wanna practice even harder to reach your lvl. tysm for sharing-the way you move your fingers over the strings and your singing voice are so beautiful
Wonderful journey! I chuckled at month 7, "I curse my hands for being small", as a guy with absolute micro hands but a burning passion for the guitar, I totally relate! Wishing you well as you continue you journey!
Very impressive. I noticed you started to keep the positioning in the later months. Using certain fingers for certain strings. On a side, you have a really beautiful voice with such a pure tone. I was surprised when I was watching. At first I thought you might have been listening to a song while playing then I realized that was actually you singing and my reaction was 😮
You started to feel that bar chords become easier at just 1 year of playing The same thing took me 5 years You are definitely learning well, keep it up! Can't wait to see your progress in the coming months
I think this is crazy amazing progress for 1 year even from the very beginning! I've just started casually doing Andy Guitar's 10 day guitar course and practice 5-10 mins a day. From your first song in this video, I can feel there's so much talent already! The choices of songs and such are great, I started with just 3 chord songs, so easy compared to the range of finger picking styles and songs you've chosen! Really talented! Not to mention the singing vocals are amazing!
honestly, its people like you that give me a hope for my future, I look at myself a lot wondering whether I can achieve my dreams of music, and it often leads me feeling negative, but every time I come across someone that's trying as hard and has a lot of things on their mind, and things to do, stress and pressure from school,work or anything. it makes me feel like I can push through, your playing, your voice, your commitment, your dedication. everything through the hard times or easy going. you found something you can do that makes you and others happy, I think that's something everyone should get and strive for at least. thanks for the video, hope you do well in anything in life!
The fact that as a beginner you pushed yourself to play plucking patterns is impressive most people including start off with basic chords so you should be really proud of yourself this is amazing I love it
Such great Improvement, I love seeing these videos. While it saddens me a move away from classical I do hope you return, either way keep up the momentum.
Don't listen to them moving away from classical was the best thing you did for your journey. Classical musicians are the least talented types of musicians I said what I said.
I always thought that there was something wrong with my guitar with how it makes so much buzzing sounds! But after watching the first few weeks of your progress, I realised that there was a problem in me instead. Since I barely have time for personal life I try to practice the guitar with limited time for 3 years now, but after watching this video and many others I understood that I need put space for my own life. So thank you a bunch. I'm currently in my holidays so my guitar is 3 hours away from me 😅 I'll try my best to make time for myself as much as I can and try to practice at least everyday. Also, your voice is beautiful. Its so smooth, please keep singing! :))
This video is one of the major things that made me want to learn guitar. Your progression inspired me and gave me the courage to try. I wish to be as good as you, but I’m still learning. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!❤
I technically may be more advanced then you in terms of barre chords and stuff but that took me 7 years. All the things you’re playing sound so nice and fluid. Amazing job!
This makes me so much more motivated to carry on with my journeyyy!! I learnt some simple chords on acoustic and songs in primary school (england lol) and my parents got me a guitar, but i would never practice outside of lessons. When i left for secondary school i stopped getting lessons. Then after 4 years of randomly picking up my guitar and playing a few songs not not actually learning anything new, i refound my love for it ans started playing daily, and actually learning new songs and chords. I also connected with some friends who were also passionate about music and we started practicing together. Then afew weeks ago, i got my forst electric guitar!! And just over a week ago i started learning some tab and fingerstyle! Im so excited, and im so happy that this time its going to stick :)) thanks for coming to my TED talk. Btw if anyone wants to leave a comment if some months or maybe years has passed and ask for updates ill be happy to :D
this is quite and impressive progression. I like seeing people learn just by picking up a guitar and playing something. It's a very cool process to watch
I am really glad to see that you got a big passion and interest in playing guitar. Moreover, your singing skills has improved over the year. Keep it up! One day you will reach the level of composer writing their own songs.
This video is so interesting, I'm a 15 yo guitarist and singer. This video made me realize how different people can be, you started with the thing I have the most trouble with, but it's actually so cool, when I finished watching the first 7 minutes of the video, I messaged my student(I'm a teacher :D) about how different from you he is and how different from me you are. Oh and yeah we both started learning in 2020 :). You are so unique and cool, keep up
Wow you made a crazzy amount of progress in just a year! I tried teaching myself but I didn't really know much until I took lessons. I still can't do much picking or note recognition 🤣. Also your voice is sooo pretty! 💛
me thinking I can learn guitar vicariously by watching this 12 minute video once
Because of this video I picked up my dad’s guitar for the first time and learnt the first 10 seconds of stay by me from JK 😭

Newbie fingers and a young girl at that on an accoustic as first guitar . Already used to moving shapes and past the pain and not missing a beat when moving the shape . She’s a savant or telling some white lies .
You are not alone there. My fingertips have redish purple lines across them
Don’t worry, you’ll start getting callouses and it won’t hurt as much :)
I've finally built callouses at day five now and I'm so happy!
What TH-cam video you learn from?
Very fast learner! You learned in one year what took me 10 years or more. In my defense, we didn't have TH-cam back then.
Keep Learning, you've got talents! I can't wait to see this girl shining in the highest spot
the key is to start and never quit no matter what! nicely done
The "my fingers hurt so bad" is so freaking relatable lol. I've been playing bass for 9 years now, started when I was 11 (upright bass for 8 years, bass guitar for 1 year). There was a point when I had to play my upright bass, which is acoustic, in a Jazz band, so I had to pluck extra loud; lead to me having calluses on all my fingers because I switched fingers often since the previous (callused) one hurt to pluck. Good times. Awesome video and I hope you keep with your passion for music. I feel that music is eternal and everyone finds pleasure in different forms of music. Music is a universal language, Its awesome. I'll subscribe and let's see how far you could reach. *BTW reach for the stars and beyond.
hahha yes the callouses are like battle scars im kinda proud of them. thank you!!!
Is there somone whom I can ask some questions plz this is important 😭
I can't do the chords my hands gets hurt or even sometimes I get wounded by the strings I'd it becuz I over tightened the string or is it common
I tuned thos strings using an app
Pressing down the strings hurt the tip of my fingers so bad but cant let that slow me down from practicing hopefully.
@@erenyeager7502 It is very common. So how's your journey going? You haven’t stopped playing, have you?
@@durjoyroy165 no now I don't get that pain when I'm playing😁
Playing guitar is like a dance of your fingers on the fretboard
While playing the beat with the other hand
your voice is so calming i swear i could listen to you sing all the time
thanks for sharing! I'm 2 months in and its so nice to see someone else's progress!
I can relate to this so much. I bought my first guitar during the weekend before lockdown, because I predicted that the stores would close soon and I really wanted a guitar. It’s 2 and a half years later and I’m the electric guitarist of the school band :)
I'm so late but that's so cool honestly 😮
You're a really good singer and guitarist, seeing ur skill and even ur voice evolve actually gives me hope 😭 STAHP
As an intermediate player, i'd say this journey is so unique!
i always love seeing people improving week by week! i also startet learning guitar since two months and i really can see the challenge! ceep on going!!
I find it incredible that in your first month you can sing and play, when i've been playing bass for 6 years and guitar for two and I still cannot! I am very impressed by your playing and please keep it up, from one player to another
with bass i think its harder
I just got my first guitar yesterday, and I aspire to have progress like this. I think I'll document mine like you did just to see how far I've come
Waiting!
Hows it goingg?
omg yeahhh hows it going?
@@gimbapkiddinghow are you guys learning by TH-cam or?
Documenting it definitely gives you the motivation to practice!
I’d love to hear you do a full cover or an original song! You have such a beautiful voice and it’s amazing seeing your progress 🤍
I am very impressed with your progress and especially how quickly you were able to sing and play at the same time
Amazing progress.Loved watching it. Thanks for putting this out.
On my first days of trying to learn to play. I can play a bit of piano but I have found so much respect for people who play the guitar. I really hope to progress as much as you did. Until then I will enjoy the journey and bruise my fingers on the strings. Good luck to other beginners
The same thing happened to me:)
The fact that only after a month you were able to sing and play is pretty awesome! It’s hard for me to do that and I’ve been playing for 7 - 8 months.
Depends on if you specifically practice singing + playing.
I used to think I couldn’t do it too lol. Then I tried, initially it was hard but soon it becomes second nature. Especially if you start realizing what strumming happens when singing a certain word (kind of).
@@Itsgyroyeah I’m practicing a little more and I could sing and play only a few songs like boulevard of broken dreams from Green Day and smells like teen spirit from nirvana.
She wasn't a newbie at music at all, that's why. She probably plays other instruments, so her brain can process basic rhythms while singing
Dude your singing voice is amazing surely go in on that
this is so nice :') thank you
1:30 melody is so gorgeous
I‘m trying to teach myself guitar and seeing what you learned in only one year really keeps me motivated!
aree you learning it by urself or do u have any instructor bc im looking out to buy a guitar and learn it for fun by myself by watching for example yt tutorials and im asking u to see if its possible to learn it by urself
I saw this video of yours last year when I had been learning guitar for about three months.
I used to hold it horizontally, and then blamed my "small hands" for not being able to reach any of the upper strings without much discomfort.
Then I saw your video, and realized you started holding it at about 45 degrees angle, then discovered that there's a whole different world of classical guitar that I didn't even know about.
I corrected my posture, then dived into classical guitar technique, and it massively transformed my playing.
If I hadn't stumbled upon this video, I might as well have given up on guitar altogether, so thanks for sharing your journey!
bar chords are so painful until you finally get the hang of them, so good job for persevering through them 🥳 I'm same as you because I went from acoustic to electric, and immediately tried to learn some fancy riffs.
Learned more in her first year by herself than I have in my 2-3 years of actual classes 💀
i took 5 years of classes and i still dong know how to play twinkle twinkle little star 😭😭
@@saraadoesntlikeass same 💀💀
@@saraadoesntlikeass bruh what ? You. I’m willing to bet you can find it by ear.
@@saraadoesntlikeass same
because she practices playing slowly
for anyone watching to teach yourself an instrument like a guitar, ukulele, etc, I honestly recommend just finding an easy song you like, and memorizing it. For example, I taught myself to play the ukulele and although it was difficult at first, I can now play virtually any song. Also, memorize the most popular cords used in songs, because a lot of them will be in most songs, that way when you want to learn a new song, you don't have to memorize a bunch of new ones, because you already know them. Also following along to play-along songs helps a LOT. (this is just the way i taught myself, might not be ideal for a lot of people.
@@bora2005idk prolly dedication>>>>>
Your voice was splendid singing “Someone You Loved”.
Got a guitar on my 18th birthday from my friends (I love em so much) so as I wanna learn how to play it well before my friends birthday, you inspire me so much that I could improve in just a year!
Good job x I've been producing music and playing piano for 3-4 years and I started to learning guitar 2 weeks ago as well It keeps me motivated when I see how other people progressing, keep it up you're amazing!:)
Your voice and guitar skills are both CRAZYYY, one time i was in the house of my friend with my other friends and he started playing the guitar, he is a new learner, he only knows 1-2 songs but i liked the instrument, and decided i will learn to play the guitar with him. Now i play on his guitar but i'll but myself one in a couple of days and will go to a (music school). This really did push me closer to believing in myself and to learning to olay the guitar, thank you appreciate it keep up the good work, I love you❤️
As a drummer who have been practicing for 3 years, this is so beautiful to see.
Keep going. It's been 18mos. for me, it gets super fun when muscle training, fingers, catches up with the ambition of sound you have in mind. You sound great. Login your post 💕🎸❤️🔥
I'm currently learning how to play various songs with my brother's neglected guitar, and I stumbled upon this video. This video gave me inspiration to keep continuing it 💓💞
amazing progress and i love the singing clips ! your voice is beautiful its amazing how you guys progress so fast iv never been able to progress that fast built different !
ahh thank you!
I saw this clip and I went back to play guitar again because I saw this clip and I have a lot of encouragement. Thank you.
Seems like a genuine 1 year guitar progress. I've always wanted to buy an electric guitar but mom and dad don't want one. So I'm saving up on my own hope i could buy one soon.
You give me encouragement when for when i get my guitar. Great progress
This is such good improvment and you're such a quick learner! You learned more in 1 month than what I've learned throughout school guitar classes. I started playing guitar by taking classes but its so amazing how well you picked up on it, also the fact you taught yourself with only videos. godd job!🤩
this is so realistic unlike some other progression vids lmao, i also started abt a year ago now but i think ive practiced so much more than you since i dont prioritise school as much as im supposed to. anyways, lately and for the past few months ive played for abt 4-5 hours a day (unhealthy) and i totally respect your video considering you said you stopped for a while for schoolll
Really good progression! I can totally relate to trying learn songs that are probably to hard. 😂👍🏼
Continue practicing, never give up on what you are doing unlike me 😇 I forgot all of my knowledge on guitar and singing nice to see new generation improving their skills time to time.
I started taking guitar classes last month and it's amazing seeing other people's videos about their own journeys :)
i'm on week one on guitar by myself, it's so inspiring to see your progress and hope to relate in the futur to your week three :)
You can do it!! ❤❤❤
I started learning the guitar tdy and this showed up in fyp after I watched sum tutorials. I’m SO GLAD it did cuz seeing your journey is so inspiring and makes me wanna practice even harder to reach your lvl. tysm for sharing-the way you move your fingers over the strings and your singing voice are so beautiful
This is so inspiring. Loved your song choices. You have a lovely voice. I wanted to hear more of officially missing you!
Bring me back in a year, I believe in me
Great work! Dont give up buddy! You will be a professional guitarist one day! I got motivated by this video!!!!!!
i have small hands and this literally inspired me to continue practicing despite all the struggles and difficulties, thanks for this!!
Wonderful journey! I chuckled at month 7, "I curse my hands for being small", as a guy with absolute micro hands but a burning passion for the guitar, I totally relate! Wishing you well as you continue you journey!
the talent was already within you. great job 👏
Very impressive. I noticed you started to keep the positioning in the later months. Using certain fingers for certain strings. On a side, you have a really beautiful voice with such a pure tone. I was surprised when I was watching. At first I thought you might have been listening to a song while playing then I realized that was actually you singing and my reaction was 😮
You are amazing! I just begin my guitar lessons 2 weeks ago. I don't know how much you practice, I wish I could play just like you.
You gave me ghoose bumps by month 1 holy crap you're dedicated and it shows.
You started to feel that bar chords become easier at just 1 year of playing
The same thing took me 5 years
You are definitely learning well, keep it up! Can't wait to see your progress in the coming months
I think this is crazy amazing progress for 1 year even from the very beginning! I've just started casually doing Andy Guitar's 10 day guitar course and practice 5-10 mins a day. From your first song in this video, I can feel there's so much talent already! The choices of songs and such are great, I started with just 3 chord songs, so easy compared to the range of finger picking styles and songs you've chosen! Really talented! Not to mention the singing vocals are amazing!
Those are rookie numbers. You gotta pump them up😂😂
You're voice is so beautiful OMG! Great progress with the guitar, keep it up!
your voice is soooo beautiful, loved it
honestly, its people like you that give me a hope for my future, I look at myself a lot wondering whether I can achieve my dreams of music, and it often leads me feeling negative, but every time I come across someone that's trying as hard and has a lot of things on their mind, and things to do, stress and pressure from school,work or anything. it makes me feel like I can push through, your playing, your voice, your commitment, your dedication. everything through the hard times or easy going. you found something you can do that makes you and others happy, I think that's something everyone should get and strive for at least. thanks for the video, hope you do well in anything in life!
on the 2nd week u already get the clean notes!
loved the progress and your discipline
The fact that as a beginner you pushed yourself to play plucking patterns is impressive most people including start off with basic chords so you should be really proud of yourself this is amazing I love it
Such great Improvement, I love seeing these videos. While it saddens me a move away from classical I do hope you return, either way keep up the momentum.
Thank you!!
Don't listen to them moving away from classical was the best thing you did for your journey. Classical musicians are the least talented types of musicians I said what I said.
@@spreadwuvokay lame joke so shut uop
@@djentcommunion2422 I wasn't joking lmao, you think I'm joking. Oh my gosh. No joke here pal. Ask one of them to improvise, you'll see what I mean.
your guitar development, beyond crazy solos, or rock riffs, is all about playing sweetly and that's nice.
I always thought that there was something wrong with my guitar with how it makes so much buzzing sounds! But after watching the first few weeks of your progress, I realised that there was a problem in me instead. Since I barely have time for personal life I try to practice the guitar with limited time for 3 years now, but after watching this video and many others I understood that I need put space for my own life. So thank you a bunch. I'm currently in my holidays so my guitar is 3 hours away from me 😅 I'll try my best to make time for myself as much as I can and try to practice at least everyday. Also, your voice is beautiful. Its so smooth, please keep singing! :))
This video is one of the major things that made me want to learn guitar. Your progression inspired me and gave me the courage to try. I wish to be as good as you, but I’m still learning. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!❤
I did the same song at the beginning, yours sounds much better than me during that time lol. Your progress is great, keep it up!
I technically may be more advanced then you in terms of barre chords and stuff but that took me 7 years. All the things you’re playing sound so nice and fluid. Amazing job!
This makes me so much more motivated to carry on with my journeyyy!! I learnt some simple chords on acoustic and songs in primary school (england lol) and my parents got me a guitar, but i would never practice outside of lessons. When i left for secondary school i stopped getting lessons. Then after 4 years of randomly picking up my guitar and playing a few songs not not actually learning anything new, i refound my love for it ans started playing daily, and actually learning new songs and chords. I also connected with some friends who were also passionate about music and we started practicing together. Then afew weeks ago, i got my forst electric guitar!! And just over a week ago i started learning some tab and fingerstyle! Im so excited, and im so happy that this time its going to stick :)) thanks for coming to my TED talk. Btw if anyone wants to leave a comment if some months or maybe years has passed and ask for updates ill be happy to :D
this is quite and impressive progression. I like seeing people learn just by picking up a guitar and playing something. It's a very cool process to watch
wow, for one year this is really great!! You definitely have talent, don't let it go to waste :)
I am really glad to see that you got a big passion and interest in playing guitar. Moreover, your singing skills has improved over the year. Keep it up! One day you will reach the level of composer writing their own songs.
This video is so interesting, I'm a 15 yo guitarist and singer. This video made me realize how different people can be, you started with the thing I have the most trouble with, but it's actually so cool, when I finished watching the first 7 minutes of the video, I messaged my student(I'm a teacher :D) about how different from you he is and how different from me you are. Oh and yeah we both started learning in 2020 :). You are so unique and cool, keep up
This is amazing and motivating, love how relax you are, relaxation really is the key to play guitar more beautifully.
I wanna see the progress you have done since then amazing how far you have come inspiring to keep going
Wow you made a crazzy amount of progress in just a year! I tried teaching myself but I didn't really know much until I took lessons. I still can't do much picking or note recognition 🤣. Also your voice is sooo pretty! 💛
The progression clearly shows your learning/practicing is producing wonderful results! Great job! Keep your passion and learn!
you play so beautifully! watching this gave me motivation to go practice lol
It's not just the flow you acquired through consistent practice but also the beautiful singer in you that's made this journey better.
Her voice is sooo prettyyy!!! She sounds like an angel🥰
