    6:10 that's exactly what I got my 2 years 10 months daughter to get her started, after she strummed my guitars free-form pretty much from the day she was born. I got her a ukulele and, although even 1-finger chords are still out of her reach, she is inseparable from it and plays it all day long, making up songs and melodies. Needless to say, my wife and I are overjoyed. The great thing is that her elder sister, 6 years old, is now taking a keen interest in music and learning an instrument spurred by a spirit of competition with her little sibling. If the boy who is due in a couple of weeks starts with music as well, we've got a band on.our hands :-D ....

    From a guitar tech: You're supposed to stretch bylon strings out for a bit in order for them to keep tune. Also how does does he not know that you're supposed to tie a shoe lace on the headstock if the guitar only has one strap button. Also Also he didn't even set it up so of course it won't play well out the box.

    I swear to god I had one of these many many years ago (way before amazon). I got it when I was 5. I started wanting to play at 10 and tried watching a youtube video on how to play iron man. The hunk of questionable "wood" had never been tuned. I was so sure that I was the most terrible guitar player on earth and my fingers were somehow deformed, and ended up doing the only rock move I knew how to do, and went all Pete Townshend on it. It was 2 years later that I learned that A: it's not a real guitar, and B: Iron Man sounds great when the instrument is tuned.

    Thank you for giving your perspective on this. My dad bought me a really cheap electric guitar when I was 12 and I was really excited to learn guitar. I played that guitar for about a year and made decent progress but nothing ever really sounded good. I eventually gave up playing guitar because I thought that I just wasn’t any good. Now I’m 18 and I bought myself a guitar that actually keeps tune and sounds good and in 3 months I’ve already made more progress than I made in a year on that old cheap guitar. If you’re buying an instrument, buy something that makes you want to play it and not something that discourages your interest in the instrument as a whole.

      I fully agree, one of the reasons why I gave up the violin is cuz I had a super cheap one that was a nightmare to tune and couldn't keep the tune for more than 5 minutes it really was trash, I ended up switching instruments getting something decently priced and being 10 time happier.

      Holy hell your story and mine are pretty much exactly the same dude, parents brought me one of those budget burnt cherry SGs when i was around 12, it was okay, but obviously back then i had no clue what the guitar actually did have impact on playstyle and how everything sounds by default.
      I brought myself a proper guitar a year back when i was 17 (a middle of the range acoustic washburn that a friend wanted to just get rid of cheap so i just took the chance) and instantly my interest was reignighted stronger than it ever had been. Honestly its crazy how much a good guitar can make a difference, everything instantly sounded so much better and i progressed so much quicker.
      Anyway, becuase of this, christmas i invested again, but this time in a fender strat (cant go wrong), was a bit of a hit to my bank, but hell was it worth it. Once again i found it was so much easier to practice and play well. (might also be a factor that im older and more ready to actually put time into it)
      Its a shame that new players very rarely get to start with a decent guitar, but i think its the path most of us take weirdly, maybe its just part of the course. I think my honest advice for people looking out to start would be to try and get hold of a decent branded BUT 2nd hand guitar if they can, that seems like the best option if its available.

    I started with a ukulele but i would also recommend for a more 'serious' beginner the 'Guitalele' by Yamaha, It was my first guitar after the uke (if thats considered a guitar?), and its perfect, its like a scaled down nylon string classical and cut short. Really convenient for travelling, on the road practice, you can play it in a car seat for example. I know my guitar playing friends were fascinated by it and loved it, i love it, and it might be a quicker introduction to guitar than the uke because its closer in design

    I learned how to play guitar with a $40 EBay guitar sort of like that one, but it was red. It was like a classical guitar but instead, it had steel strings. Terrible action and super tight strings. Then, about a year and a half into playing, I finally got my second guitar, a Silvertone strat. I improved so much in one day, it felt like magic. I didn’t touch the old one after that, probably for years. When I picked up the old one years later, it would make me question how I even played it for so long.

    Hilarious video. What about a "things that seem gimmicky but are actually cool" kind of video someday? Also, started your guitar super system course a few weeks ago. As a 20-year player, it's really gotten me more into the habit of practicing better. Something in what you said about someone who's been playing longer but less frequently than someone new practicing an hour a day really rang with me. My band sure appreciates you.

    One of my students started lessons with a similar quality guitar, but with steel strings. Super high action, and no truss rod to adjust. This poor little girl was just starting out with the weak hands and tender fingers of a new player, and she just could not push down the strings. I mentioned getting another guitar to her parents, but they were obviously not gonna do that. She quit playing a couple months later. I was sad, but not surprised.

    I liked the way you tuned it but when you said it was not in tune it sounded like it was in tune . I think its because nylon strings sound kinder muted when you first play with nylon strings . I think it was the way how its supposed to be I think. I have one like that with nylon and It sounds fine. I think you did a good job of tuning it.

      Yeah, that was my first thought. I have a really nice classical-electric guitar, but that thing won't hold a tune through an entire song the first day after changing the strings, and it takes about two weeks for the tuning to settle. Nylon isn't metal.

  • @vyingforlife
    @vyingforlife 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    My acoustic guitar has only one pin, and basically you just physically loop a string right above the nut and through the second opening in the strap for a peg to tie it there. Usually when you buy a strap, it comes with a string that may, at first glance, look like it's just for decoration or just to keep the strap attached to something else while put on display. Just a tip for people who don't have a second guitar peg like me.
