The Struggling Guitarist
Добавлен 19 июн 2023
Most people who play guitar online are usually musical gods. (I wish I were one of them!) This channel is from the perspective of a beginner, maaaaaybe intermediate player, talking out loud and learning new material. I make guitar tutorials to help myself and other beginners get better. Let's learn and you can watch me go down in flames in the process. It's all good fun!

FAILING at 'Electric Soul'| Guitar Lesson and Tutorial
A struggle to watch, but an A for effort
Lol, I get that. 😂 I do honestly appreciate the "A for effort" though, and glad you tuned in!
Thanks for the mention
You bet!
I like your videos. It's nice to see a fellow "struggling guitarist" online. 😁
Thank you! I feel the same. 🎸 Glad you're here! 🤘
Love your Schtick
I really appreciate that!! You gotta work with what you got. 🤘😂
@@TheStrugglingGuitarist Indeed we do!
Thanks for the mention!
Of course, thank you!
This was rough to watch, just because you can make this a lot easier to play and sound way better by using open G tuning and a $10 slide. Here's the video I watched to learn. ruclips.net/video/dS0wOFZi8Qw/видео.htmlsi=W7pF9rJpGm_w58Cd
The video is fantastic! Sigh, I wish I had seen this earlier, but better late than never I guess. I appreciate you posting it!
Your tempo/ rhythm is way off! You're really: 'The Struggling Guitarist' Keep practicing!
I know... Usually my tempo is the strongest part of my musical abilities,, but when struggling to play stuff really fast, it often it goes right out the window. 🪟😂
!! Lets go :D !! keep it up my friend that video is good :D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🤩.Sweet, I really appreciate it!! 🤘
Thanks as always for the mention
And ty back for the amazing guitar transitions!
Awesome song. Had the same problem with tabs learning Wings of a butterfly. All were technically correct. One in a different key. The other two just used different positions
Now don't get me wrong, but I'm glad I'm not the only one! 😂 Intellectually I know that it happens to everyone, but sometimes it feels like an island. I appreciate the commiseration! 🤘
This is a joke right ???
In terms of my ability level? I wish! This is the real me. lol
That’s a blast from the past..
Thanks for the mention
Always and forever!
Put the chords on the vid next time dont just say them
I agree. I've had a couple recommendations now to add the tabs but I'm usually finishing these with my hair on fire! LOL
Finger slide aside. The entire guitar grouping is in open G tuning.
Crazy, I completely missed that! I'll have to add it to the description. Much appreciated!
U arent a fan of the bridge pick up arent u?
Truthfully, it's because I'm a n00b, and when I find a setting I like, I'm reluctant to play with it too much. 😂 However, I will add that whoever modded the guitar before I bought it, didn't hook up the switch right. It has 5 positions, two of which don't work, and the others feel off. I keep meaning to take it in one of these days but never get around to it.
@@TheStrugglingGuitarist Its a matter of preference ,u do u..hey, btw i think u r covring the fall out boy version.good version for beginner to cover play along with.
I appreciate it! It's super easy to just get stuck in a rut when thinking about all the moving pieces. Oooo, great idea. I'll check out the tab immediately for Fallout!
I so admire your attitude. Dude I would jam with you anytime. Easy but recognizable riffs N.I.B. Black Sabbath Enter sandman or seek and destroy Poison. Alice Cooper These riffs do go slightly beyond power chords. Yet they helped me Somehow I think you already know them lol
Thanks so much!! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave both the humbling compliment and excellent suggestions! I know the riff to Iron Man (who doesn't lol), but I never have looked into N.I.B. I'll check it out asap. Seek & Destroy is fantastic stuff! I thought about it but there are a lot of different parts in that 7 minute song. I didn't know where to start or how long a video people would sit through. lol Believe it or not, I haven't tried Enter Sandman. It's added to my soon to learn list. And Poison by Alice Cooper - Hell yeah, I know that one! Thanks for the awesome reminder! Added to the short list.
@@TheStrugglingGuitarist yeah seek and destroy long version lol been to a few Metallica shows lol.
I'm super jealous, I've never seen them live! 😭
@@TheStrugglingGuitarist still time. Awesome shows. And seek n destroy chorus is a lot like War Pigs with faster tempo. That is just my opinion lol
Lol, I never thought of the two like that. I agree!
I have heard that Eddie only gave up a riff. He had nothing to do with playing for the recording. If that is wrong please correct. I love the riff and the song. Do smooth criminal next bro. I still struggle with it
Oh no! You are absolutely right! 😳😂 Learning something new every day. And thanks! Great idea for Smooth Criminal, I'll check it out. 🤘
Is that an aerodyne Strat?
It's a 2005 Standard Stratocaster FMT; however the hardware has been replaced with a Babicz bridge, Lace pickups, and Kluson tuning pegs. I bought it from Craigslist, so I don't know the story behind it.
@@TheStrugglingGuitarist is that the babicz with rounded saddles? I have the gold one on my black Strat
Yes, I believe they are. However, I will admit that I didn't know this was a thing and had to research it! DOH. I love learning new stuff like this. And the gold on a black guitar would be gorgeous!
@@TheStrugglingGuitarist I never really paid attention to the bridge and how my hand rested on it until I got the rounded saddles
Interesting! I had no idea that those little details could make such a big difference.
Thumbnail made me laugh, nicely done🤙
LOL, thanks. I usually just try and think of the most ridiculous thing I can. That one was a blast to photoshop (badly). 😂
@@TheStrugglingGuitarist got to lure them in, they say don’t judge a book by its cover….except on RUclips then yes lol judge
Hahaha, you nailed it!
I was waiting for the solo :(
DOH, sorry to disappoint! Yeah, I wish I could have. It's above my ability level and no way I could teach it. Lol
nice studio lessy i have the Same one just with upgraded gold hardware ;-)
Awesome, I'm glad you enjoyed it! And I bet your guitar just pops with the gold hardware. I'm jealous. 🎸🤎
Thanks for adding me to the credits.
No problem! I'm always grateful for your guitar transitions.
🎸🔥
Sweet, thanks!! 🙏🤘
Couple tips: you can just "walk" your way up the neck.. E, G, A, B... one form, only the E has open strings.. and 2, tune your guitar before making a video 😅 always tune UP to pitch, never down, especially with a "Les Paul"..
Excellent tip about walking up the fret! I'm still enough of a beginner that often I'm so caught up in just memorizing, and not analyzing. Good call. And LOL, I know. <Sigh> The tuning was not great. I originally did tune, but flailed away on it long enough to knock it out. 😂 Tuning properly is still a weakness I need to work on. I appreciate the tip on "tuning up"! 🤘
!! Wouah great video my friend !! stay musical and have a nice one :D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, I appreciate you watching and glad you enjoyed it!!🤘
I don't know what's better - the thumbnail or the easter egg lol
LOL, I'm super glad someone found that. 😁 I appreciate it!!
Thanks as always for the mention
And as always, thank you! 💯
I love this. So. Much fun!
Thank you so much!! 🤎😂
I've also been struggling with money.
😂💲💰
Thanks as always for the mention.
Absolutely. And thanks for the new transition music for this song!
Yes!!!
Thank you so much! I'm super appreciative of your support!!
Requesting, Fire-Woman , by the CULT . My Favorite by Billy Duffy riff. 🤘
Great timing, I just went over Fire Woman with my instructor! Bad ass song, I'd love to learn it! Let me see what I can do.
Grazie per la menzione.
You don't even think to call me Godfather. Instead, you come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married, and you ask me to do murder ... COUGH ... Oops, I mean you're welcome and thank you!
@@TheStrugglingGuitarist I meant no disrespect lol
😂
Just subscribed, I'm struggling to!
Awesome! Welcome to the club! 🤘😀
Thanks as always for the mention.
And thanks as always for the fantastic transitions!
Thanks for the mention.
Always!
I love this. Playing guitar should always be this fun. Reminds me of years gone bye when none of us could play for shit, but we played every day!
Lol, exactly!! I'm super glad you enjoyed it!
I subscribed immediately, I really like your style homie. I'm an 80's kid myself (born in '72) so I'm all about that hair metal. Haha. I really should learn that awesome intro riff to Poison's "Nothing but a good time".
Lol, and I'm a '73 kid, so I'm right there with you. And I agree, 'Nothin' But a Good Time' is amazing. That would definitely be worth learning... If you don't mind, I'm going to have to look into it! 🤘
Absolutely loving your videos. .my wife and I both try to play along and we love Holy diver . I m hoping that your a pink Floyd fan and do a tutorial on one of there songs 👍
Rock on! Your comment makes me super happy. I love that both you guys are playing along. 🤎 And I LOVE Pink Floyd. I've worked on half a dozen songs with my guitar teacher, let me see what I can do. I appreciate the suggestion!
Lol, haven't watched this video yet but I will when I get home. I just discovered this channel and if any channel has ever spoken to me by name, this is definitely it.
LOL, love it! Welcome!! 🤘
@@TheStrugglingGuitarist So, I did watch it. I have been "working on" this riff for a month or so and your video helped me realize that I had been playing it wrong. Haha. I knew something sounded wrong about it. How long have you been learning? I've been... "learning" for 15 years or so, but I have gotten nowhere because I keep getting frustrated and quitting. I also took about 7 years off when I went to college and it consumed my life.
Whoops, somehow I missed your reply. Sorry about that! Yeah, that's the cool and often super frustrating thing. There are usually a ton of different interpretations of a song, and often I need to find the right one to make it click or else I've been known to spin my wheels. Glad my video helped! I've been playing for 4-5 years and I've definitely stalled a few times. I don't know how it works for you, but I found that when I have a teacher, I feel the urge to practice "for them" as much as myself, so as not make an ass out of myself. (Which of course still happens. 😂 )
This is fantastic!
Thank you! Coming from a musician of your caliber, I'm truly honored!!
@@TheStrugglingGuitarist Informative and entertaining! Love it!
Thanks for the mention.
Any time!
Good job on this
Thanks, I appreciate it!
rad
Sweet, thanks!
A lot of the songs I learn seem to use notes I've already used before.
Exactly! There is an amazing series of videos by The Axis of Awesome where they play a ton of songs using only four chords. I may have to try a similar video one of these days. 😂
Thanks once again for the mention :)
You're welcome and thank you!
Appreciate the mention.
You've done me a big favor. You will ALWAYS get a mention. 😀
My favorite Queen song played by my favorite struggling guitarist! AND I’m enjoying learning more about the guitar, even though I don’t play anymore! Thank you for creating these 😊
Wow, such an amazing compliment. 😎 Thank you so very much!!
