    I bought my guitar a couple of weeks ago and then watched soooo many videos which made me ask myself if I had made a mistake. But when I came across your videos and once again had hope. I'm 68 and grew up during a time when the best music of all time was and still is here. I never intended to be Jimi Hendrix or Joe Bonamossa, but just to be able to play something that would make someone say " I know that song!" Your 1 string songs have made that happen! Pure genius! My goal is to learn House of the Rising Sun by The Animals. Thanks again from a devoted follower.

    This is great advice for beginners, and EXACTLY how I started learning to play guitar over 40 years ago. He is basically playing the 1st (root or bass) notes for each song, and not the actual full chords. Now..... if you take your pinky and add a 5th note one string down and 2 frets down from the root note, you have a "power chord." Add a little distortion on the electric guitar and you are off and jamming.. This will work for most of these songs, and hundreds more, and is actually the way most rock and metal songs are played. Then it is on to learning full chords of 3 notes or more. Oh yeah, then those pesky lead scales....lol. It takes a lot of time and practice to become very proficient at the guitar, but this lesson is a great place to start.

      @D B Cooper You are welcome. I am still here, and I am always glad to help an up and coming fellow guitarist. I have been playing, teaching, gigging and luthering since I was 12 years old (I am 53 now). The day I stop playing guitar will be the day I die (I hope anyway). There are actually lot of good guitar players and instructors on You Tube. Unfortunately, most of them are here to show off, brag about their million dollar guitar collections or confuse people by teaching with, and selling, over complicated music theory lessons (theory is really not that hard to understand with a little effort). If you want to follow some very knowledgeable and proficient guitar players/teachers, check out Rick Beato or Steve Stine. There is also an amazing young lady guitar player on You Tube that is a great teacher as well. Her name is Ayla Tesler-Mabe. Her channel is called "Guitareo." Some people call Ayla the "Bob Ross" of guitar teaching because she is so soft spoken and patient. Keep on playing and don't give up. It can be frustrating at times, but the more you practice and the better you get, the more you will WANT to play. Take care and keep on jammin'. 🎸🎵🎸🎼🎸

It may not feel good like learning simple songs like these. My point is you will forget those little songs in days or weeks of not playing, yet chords will stay in you because you use them all the time in all of the song in the world. Thats why i Disliked😊

So if anybody is feeling discouraged about learning guitar, I can confirm that it is possible to create music without having to learn how to play chords or use all of your fingers. I have been playing this way for about four years and this is the first time I have seen anyone else play this way. I don’t feel as much of a weirdo now. 😃

    Greeting from the Aussie rock chick living in Germany.
    Thank you so much! I have been trying to learn to play the guitar on and off for years (I'm 38). The biggest problem has been that during my teens years both of my brothers played (both still do) and didn't have the patience to teach me. Nowadays I am happily married to a fantastic musician (guitar and piano) but it's still similar situation, he loses patience. Plus I feel he tries to get me to run before I can walk. I absolutely understand their frustration, I am a teacher myself and know how hard it can be to teach someone. So I have decided to stack off the guys all together and try doing it by myself!
    I have leant some proper cords in the past (think I remember them) but I think getting a few easier riffs under my belt might help me stick with it and learn/teach myself more.
    Once again thanks very much, and you've got yourself another sub :)

    Thank you Mike, I’ve always wanted to learn how to play guitar. This past weekend I was able to get my first guitar, I decided on an electric guitar it’s so beautiful!!!
    I’m in my mid 40’s, totally disabled... also I figured it’ll help me with my arthritis by building my hand muscles back up.
    I was getting discouraged with my not so great playing then I saw this video of yours, I couldn’t believe it I was actually playing. You gave me hope knowing I can play even if it’s just a tad. I’m moving on to the second part. Thank you so much 😝🎸

      I started out with these one finger one string songs too, nothing beats playing something and having it sound right for the first time! May I suggest, learning multiple strings and fingers, learn something you know by heart already,, I spent a lot of my first summer playing learning Christmas songs. That helped me a lot!!!

    when i first got my hands on a guitar I was still in middle school. my only teacher was my older brother who did NOT have time or patience for his little sister. He taught me one picking technique, i learned to do that slide thing, up or down the neck.
    and since the internet was relatively new to us commoners I was searching high and low for easy beginner songs. i preferred anything from the 60s.... Beatles, Monkees, and maybe some Willie Nelson (blue eyes crying in the rain SOUNDED easy as hell. I even bought a music book just for that one song.....
    and then I gave up.
    just completely stopped. My life hit a wall when my mom got laid off, my grandad died suddenly, my best friend decided to move halfway across the country to live with her dad and then we had to move away too, to help take care of my grandmother who was now all alone.... then i GAVE MY GUITAR AWAY!!! A high school friend mentioned how she wanted to start lessons so I literally just handed it over. Then she moved away for college and dropped off the map. I reconnected with her about 15 years ago and mentioned the guitar I had given her. She had absolutely no memory whatsoever of that darned thing. I kinda felt sad about that too..... i would have liked to have it back - for the sake of nostalgia. but i know that's asking too much.
    I wish I had never stopped trying.
    And no, there was no good reason why I didn't start again. I just lost interest. I had plenty of opportunities. But I kept reminding myself how difficult it was just to tune it. My brother told me I needed to learn to do it myself because he wasn't going to tune it for me every time i asked. But I didn't have the ear for it like he did.
    My mother in law kept finding old guitars just sitting outside peoples houses, waiting to be picked up by the trash man. My kids were too small to even touch then so I put them on the shelf in the top of the closet.
    Now my son, who is 16, is showing some interest - because his best friend is teaching himself.
    and I kinda want to start again too....
    which is why i am here...
    hello!
    Technology seems to have finally caught up too.... when my son got interested in playing I found a tuner that actually works. So far we have tuned both curbside guitars, an ukele and a violin.
    Now I just need to take the next step by learning to read music all over again.
    It's obvious I will never be good at it.. which is sad because I come from a looooooooooooong line of musicians. all of them self taught with an ear to play any song after hearing it once. And my son has a double dose of that talent because his late paternal grandad had the same talent. He couldn't read music but he could play just about any song.
    I doubt that talent exists in me, I'll have to learn the hard way lol
