Come on, EVERYONE KNOWS that you cannot expect any good results, unless you start learning on a REAL vintage guitar, at least Gibson Les Paul '59 or older. You will also need a 100W Marshall Plexi head and Marshall cabinet with Greenback speakers. If you are not practicing at at least 115dB loudness, it just won't do. It's a well known fact that you cannot learn arpeggios unless police breaks down your door at least twice a week, due to jealous neighbors (who are unable to play guitar). Also, unless you grow your hear long, you will never be able to play guitar. It's just common sense.
This is the most truthful thing I've ever seen on RUclips. You also need to have giant hands and a massive dong. That's why girls will never play guitar as good as men.
All excellent points, the ones that i can mostly agree with are starting to learn on an Acoustic. I tried at school and hated to great lump, a neighbour let me borrow his Ibanez, ohh what a difference no more painful hands. The other is buying your first guitar, buy cheap and you will regret it, more people fail to learn due to a bad guitar that even an experienced player would struggle to play. Buy the best you can afford and have it setup by a good luthier, not the kid behind the counter in the shop. After that the rest is down to you and your determination to play, it takes time and many hours, but when you play your first number without bad notes, the feeling is well worth it.
Wise words. I started playing in the 80s and then I stopped. I'm starting to play again now, at 52, relearning, and Elmo's videos have been an inspiration to me.
I totally appreciate and agree with your comments about talent. I have a family member who is an artist (his most recent project was doing story boards for a Marvel project). He has said repeatedly that what makes for a great artist, regardless of genre is repetition, guided by a good teacher, at least in the beginning. I had a bad teacher who seemed to think humiliation was the best motivator. Needless to say, I don’t play that instrument anymore. A good teacher develops the student by nurturing enthusiasm for the art. A cookie cutter method that does not take into account the individuality of the student probably won’t work, at least not well.
I used to mess around with a superstrat that I borrowed from my friend. Later got an acoustic with 12s and found it difficult at first. Got used to it in a few months time and when I switched to a strat, it felt like its much easier than I remember it being when I was using the borrowed guitar. I already had the dexterity and theory knowledge due to piano, but the finger strength came from the acoustic.
Excellent analysis of these "myths," especially about talent! I agree - talent is probably 5% of becoming proficient - at ANYTHING! Hard work, desire to excel, lots of practice and love for what you're doing - these are the key to becoming an outstanding musician, artist, etc. Thanks for this very insightful and helpful video, Elmo! I've been playing guitar since the early 1960's and it's good to hear these myths debunked and the important principles explained clearly!
Glad to hear you using one of my favourite words in regard to music making - inclination. We don't have to be 'talented' - we just have to want to get our hands on the instrument. That inclination is really the key - those who don't have inclination are the ones who will give up at the point where their fingers start hurting. But the ones who have inclination will just keep on picking up that guitar until the hard skin forms on their finger tips.
If I could offer up another myth that I see constantly... guitar setup is hard. Maybe it's because I like turning screwdrivers and hex keys as much as playing, but basic guitar setup is not difficult at all. Learning how to do it yourself makes the guitar easier to play, and a guitar that's easier to play is easier to learn on.
Right! I have played 1 % of my playing with an acoustic - I can't and I don't like it, however, of course I have a nylon for bossa things (Jobim fan) and a steel for some other stuff, but after a few month I learned on an electric. I had gigs, recorded CDs and was played on local radio - so cannot be a bad idea. And first one was a LP copy from Hondo given by my grand parents. No amplifier - but this was no issue! Jumped to an Ibanez Artist AR300 solid body from 1979 later, still own it. Love no. 5, I did all this in the first year by ear, only, it teaches to listen, definitely. No. 6: of course we copy, but by just hearing we might develop own things and styles. Btw., my teacher at that time exactly asked: "where do you want to end, but forget (at first) Metheny & McLaughlin..." ;-).
Very interesting. Thank you 🙂👍. Year's ago, I followed several of your numbers. With respect, I would had another one: Don't believe people that says that your rules are definitely wrong. They may be... or not!
A lot of truth right here. Particularly about the whole having to read music myth. Seriously, I can read music very well, I was a classically trained pianist and it was necessary for that idiom. But as far as playing a rocking guitar.... Not so much. And many of the theoretical concepts that were really pushed upon me when I was a pianist simply didn't make sense to me until I played guitar. Things like modes and such. There's theory, and then there's practical experience. Like Bruce Lee said, 'Land Swimming'. You can read a thousand books about how to swim, but until you actually get in the water, it's all just theoretical. To really learn, you have to dive right in there. And I've said this to dozens of people who think that there is simply some voodoo secret that I can whisper in their ear that will enable them to be a guitar god. You want to get good? Practice. Play. Gain experience. Put the hours in. No secret.
Not directly related but still relevant to beginners, is the myth that there are good and bad guitars when really there are mostly well and badly set-up guitars, with some guitars so badly made they cannot be set-up well. Most guitars all the way down to Squier Bullets can be made to play well and an expensive Fender can be a real pain out of the box.
I'm not very good but I know enough to satisfy myself. I just love the sound of guitar. I was inspired by Randy Bachman of the Guess Who when I was a teenager. In the last couple of years since I retired, I have purchased some nice "budget" guitars from people that barely played them. And the #1 reason they quit was the setup was so bad they weren't even close. A couple of them, the truss rod was completely loose. Over the years I have learned how to do a decent setup and now I have a very nice collection of really nice guitars that are so easy to play
as a beginner, buy a guitar like vintage brand or some of the recommended ones in this channel and then spend $150 on professional set up(basic setup - intonation, low action etc, nut and fret leveling). poorly set up guitars are worse to turn off new guitarist and if you are really determined then you end up picking up bad habits that are hard to kick off down the road like hitting strings too hard or pressing down too hard - which also sounds and puts guitar out of tune and makes learning harder than it needs to be. Talent matters at a professional level otherwise everyone would be a Steve vai or a jimmy page(try learning jimmy page and quickly realize how musical his playing is - its as if he is singing and in sync with plant). Also some people for some magical reason seem to have something extra for a particular instrument whether they pursue it or not is different matter
Absolutely - recognising we are all different. I feel my college education in music did as much damage as good because of the "you must not do that" attitude. I've spent the last 30 years trying to undo the damage...!
I don't see a summary in the comments. This will prove I was paying attention. Elmo's Myth List: 1) You need to learn chords first. 2) You need to start with light strings 3) You need to start with an acoustic guitar. 4) You should start on a cheap guitar 5) You need to learn to read music. 6) You don't copy others. Do your own thing. 7) You need natural (innate) talent. 8) You need a teacher. I'll add one I read some years back. You need to suffer to play the blues. I guess there is hope for me learning guitar yet. Thanks Elmo😊
Great video Elmo! The only thing I would add is #8 you have to be PASSIONATE about what you're doing. Being passionate about playing will keep you motivated even when you suck. I know that one from experience. Because of that passion I'm way better than what I was even a couple years ago. I'm still not good but I still attack the strings daily because I love it and I'm passionate about music.
Elmo the mighty! Fantastic points! I want to play like Elmo Tricky K, (sorry that's like a DJ name)., Mick Ronson, with music inspired by Debussy/Ravel (let's bring some French influence into this neo-classical thing) I really appreciate what you said about acoustic, I love it but it isn't what inspires me to play, I also find at least for my purposes ear training much more important than reading music. Paul Mccartney has stated he never learned to read or write music. Hats off to you Elmo for more of your excellent playing and valuable insights, Bruce.
Light strings, very well put. I had problems tunings with them (applying too much pressure on chords, making a G detuned towards a G sharp for example). Nothing like learning by doing and hearing lots of good professors like you in the journey
I've got tons of equipment, cheap and pricey, and i never play... because i never heard sombody with your skills telling me this. Wheh I plug in, my GF hates me, and I hate practising scales with the acoustic... and then, I am old! I want to play SONGS! I don't need to say anything about how bad girls are or even about this f****d up planet (you wouldn't believe my experience anyway), and my idols did it all already.... but the only thing I desire is to play these things, and I am the sound, plugged or not, just as I feel... Thank You so much!!! You say this so applicable, at least for me. Need to play now.
"There's no rules" is the most important rule. If you can get interesting and musical sounds out of a guitar with an angle grinder you should record it and sell it to audiences. In fact you probably must do so because it might be expensive.
#1 was exactly me! If I had to play chords, I’d have quit by day 3. I learned a few, and instantly hated guitar. Then I said, NO! NO! I will shred, learn riffs, and just… have… fun… Guess what. I’M STILL PLAYING! Shred shred shred!
What holds me back it the simple fact I am a completely uncoordinated orangutang and chord structure baffles me more than nuclear physics. So I collect guitars because they are beautiful and one day I might wake up and by a miracle might be able to figure out the goofy music thing.
Hello! I am so happy that i found this channel. You seem very humble and hones. I just started a couple weeks ago and my question is if it is better to learn on a left handed guitar for me (im lefty) or can i continue on my current one(right). My mother had this guitar when she used to play. Thank you and best regards
In the summer I learned a bit left handed and for me the controls got a bit in the way. It was a bit of a nuisance, but that was about it. Hendrix played a right handed guitar, and he turned out pretty good :)
Excellent video once again! I wish this could/would have been around to show my parents when I started out! Also: Myth 8: You need to get lessons. Not true especially in this age where absolutely everything you could possibly care to learn is right on your computer for free. In our days it was libraries, sharing VHS instructional material and *gasp*...even jamming with other people.
i've been thinking of starting to play again. played for 12 years through school, then I've basically had the last 10 years where I haven't touched a guitar. sold my old LP studio last year for a Mexican strat but haven't found the drive to get it set up and start learning again. where do you find the motivation from when its been such a long time?
You cannot "find" motivation. It's not a set of keys that fell under the table. You either want to do it or not. Just grab the guitar and see how it feels.
It was a lot longer for me. My mom died. We cleaned out the house. There was my old Kaye guitar.and Kalamazoo amp. Something clicked in my brain. Leave that strat in sight. You will be picking it up. I guarantee.
Two words my friend. Alcohol and drugs. Imagine rock music today if our favorite musicians hadn't been stoned outta their minds?!?! You know I'm joking right?
Leaving the guitar in sight definitely helps. Also, if you can, try playing something like 15 minutes first thing in the morning. I find that really helps. I drive to work early, before anyone else is here, grab a coffee and sit down with my guitar for 15 minutes. The days when I don't do that for some reason, are usually days when I don't play.
#8 You need to get your hair in order... very important... almost as important as practicing facial expressions while playing ;-) In all seriousness, the most important thing, actually, two most important things, are that you "practice the right way" and that you have fun!
E..very informative truth in a lot of regards, I like how you pointed out that being (Gifted) is a bunch of crap, it's about discipline and learning,I hear that(Gifted)crap In the art community to.. (Gifted) one's ability to learn something faster than someone else.. bye'eeee..
No, everyone can't. If it were that simple everyone would play like Yngwie or Paul Gilbert. Desire doesn't equal talent, it never has and never will. Talent without desire is useless, but desire will never beat natural talent. Keep in mind that Eddie Van Halen never took a guitar lesson.....
Absolutely, but the training has to be right. And for the other commenter here. Training doesn't mean taking lessons. I bet you EVH played his ass off. He had the inclination, and he practiced a lot, and he practiced the right way. Most people don't have the inclination to be like Yngwie or Gilbert, while a lot of the people who might want to, don't practice enough and/or the right way.

You missed out the latest game changing stuff. You need that too. It has to be the brand new model not last years. 😅😅😅
This is the most truthful thing I've ever seen on RUclips. You also need to have giant hands and a massive dong. That's why girls will never play guitar as good as men.
You also have to buy a new pedal every week!!!
@@earthsteward9 at least one . Must be expensive too

When I started playing at age 7...I had a really cheap acoustic with heavy strings...great for the fingers...

Sorry to hear.
I started on a cheap acoustic, learning chords and fingerstyle even though I wanted to be in iron maiden
I don't see a summary in the comments. This will prove I was paying attention.

Thank You so much!!! You say this so applicable, at least for me. Need to play now.
Glad if I can help 😊
If it were down to talent I would have never gotten anywhere!!!
Good advice! I hear many say to start on a nylon string guitar which I disagree with because they can be harder to fret the notes.
They help to develop hand strength.
"There's no rules" is the most important rule. If you can get interesting and musical sounds out of a guitar with an angle grinder you should record it and sell it to audiences. In fact you probably must do so because it might be expensive.

Or waiting for the next issue of "Guitar World" hoping it had tabs for something you wanted to learn.
my dad full blood Finn. Juntanen. I think.
Cool :)
I dont know. There are 9ers with heavy bottom. If you cant bend exactly where is the use for 10s or 11s?
I think the guys with long skinny fingers have a great advantage no matter the gauge.
you do have to have a musical ear and some sort of timing to play guitar. Some people do not
Both of which are very important, if not everyone would be Paul Gilbert.
Both can be developed.
i've been thinking of starting to play again. played for 12 years through school, then I've basically had the last 10 years where I haven't touched a guitar. sold my old LP studio last year for a Mexican strat but haven't found the drive to get it set up and start learning again. where do you find the motivation from when its been such a long time?
You cannot "find" motivation. It's not a set of keys that fell under the table. You either want to do it or not. Just grab the guitar and see how it feels.
It was a lot longer for me. My mom died. We cleaned out the house. There was my old Kaye guitar.and Kalamazoo amp. Something clicked in my brain. Leave that strat in sight. You will be picking it up. I guarantee.
Two words my friend.
Alcohol and drugs.
Imagine rock music today if our favorite musicians hadn't been stoned outta their minds?!?!
You know I'm joking right?
Leaving the guitar in sight definitely helps. Also, if you can, try playing something like 15 minutes first thing in the morning. I find that really helps. I drive to work early, before anyone else is here, grab a coffee and sit down with my guitar for 15 minutes. The days when I don't do that for some reason, are usually days when I don't play.
Hi Elmo, love your vids. Could you please tell me which speaker you installed in the Harley benton tube 15 to improve the sound? Thank you.
I don't know, as it's not my amp anymore. My luthier friend owns it now, and he might have mentioned which one he put in, but I can't remember.
@@MrPolevaulter thanks Elmo, I wish you all the best!
i hope i can get a guitar xmas time
'Nonsense' is the polite word Swede's use to say 'BULLSHIT'

You need to get your hair in order... very important... almost as important as practicing facial expressions while playing ;-)
In all seriousness, the most important thing, actually, two most important things, are that you "practice the right way" and that you have fun!
:D
E..very informative truth in a lot of regards, I like how you pointed out that being (Gifted) is a bunch of crap, it's about discipline and learning,I hear that(Gifted)crap In the art community to.. (Gifted) one's ability to learn something faster than someone else.. bye'eeee..
Yeah, and that brings some people down, because they think they're not "gifted".
I think if I can ever get hold of Yngwie's guitar then I should be able to shred on instinct.
🤣
Tallent ist just a result of training, not more. Everyone can reach tallent by training.
No, everyone can't.
If it were that simple everyone would play like Yngwie or Paul Gilbert.
Desire doesn't equal talent, it never has and never will.
Talent without desire is useless, but desire will never beat natural talent.
Keep in mind that Eddie Van Halen never took a guitar lesson.....
Absolutely, but the training has to be right. And for the other commenter here. Training doesn't mean taking lessons. I bet you EVH played his ass off. He had the inclination, and he practiced a lot, and he practiced the right way.
Most people don't have the inclination to be like Yngwie or Gilbert, while a lot of the people who might want to, don't practice enough and/or the right way.

Elmo. Some due spamming the comments again. Bots. I reported.
Dude you're a good player but are you crazy
