    • @goopbrain8919
      @goopbrain8919 2 года назад +369

      @@FremontLeland well I watched the music theory basics from pretty much every video you'd find looking it up. Regardless of if it's on guitar or not music theory translates to all instruments.
      After that I mapped out all the notes on the fretboard and learned the intervals for major and minor by literally drawing each one out for each note till it burned into my memory. Then I started finding all the chords and their inversions on my own. I wrote about half a notebook worth of shit that I know. Most of it was repeating it to beat it in but if you do it enough you'll literally know every chord placement and what notes you can play with that. Learning the circle of fifths, fourths, thirds (for each key/mode) and how chord functions work make it easy to make a good progression and learning how to harmonize a melody is pretty useful too.
      I personally don't have much else to do and I lost the love I had for games and tv so I basically spend all my time on guitar and learning theory so my 6-7 months are filled with so many 6-10 hour days spent on learning so don't expect it all to come to you fast, it takes time.
      Just grind out alot of self study of your instrument and never settle for your skills so you always improve. Songs can be a base to learn off of but knowing how to make your own songs is pretty cool ~
      Hope this helped :)

    I think everyone starts out thinking it will be easier to learn to play than it really is. I also think that most people start out thinking they are worse than they really are. This video is awesome because it shows us the real truth about the process of learning to play and that almost everyone starts out struggling and sounding bad, but those who endure and keep practicing anyway, eventually will learn to play well. Thanks for sharing!

    Now a pend a few months watching mostly technique, scales, and some music theory (Uncle Ben is great). I watched hours of videos on how to just hold the pick, and it made a huge difference. Also how to rest my hand on the bridge, palm and finger muting made a huge difference.

    I think the main problem with those YT lessons is, that most of the teachers waste minutes about talking where which finger sits (something you see anyways if you watch the video), while they don't talk one word about the picking pattern and the rythm. That's a rythm problem i recognized by myself in the beginning and in yours too. But you developed stil great in this year, keep going. But as an advice i would recommend you to practice with a metronome and to figure out the rythm for every song. Rythm is one of the most important characteristics of a guitar player and at the same time the thing many guitar players never learn.

    I started learning guitar in the mid of May 2021 (now it is 11 months exp). I could say it was the best decision I’ve ever made!
    Keep it up. As long as you enjoy and love it.

    his progress in just 2 months is insane, ive been learning for 2 months too but i suppose i havent been as dedicated due to exams and school stuff, i can only do a few single string songs and one or two riffs, barely any chords. still, this is inspirational and i will give the guitar my all after my final exams in march

      @AyushPatil-v7p unfortunately it isnt, a couple months after this comment, I had to pack up my guitar and focus on some competitive exams for college, when I took the guitar out again, the fretboard had bent and its beyond repair now, haven't been able to get a new guitar since but will definitely return to it some day

    Always nice to record your progress. I started when I was 13 and 31 now and I still learn something new. If I had to suggest anything I would take some time to learn to relax your strumming hand and alternate picking as I think that is holding back your progress a bit. Keep it up!!

    Ive been playing for 2 years on guitar (self-taught) and I must've missed something important cuz i feel something missing. Tips tho, learn songs for the first year, for the second learn scales and run them 4 to 5x everyday, you can have any number of scales, personally i have 2 to 3 scales i practice everyday. Im rusty cuz ive been on vacation but yea keep going you are getting fucking good

  • @nemanjarakocevic3642
    @nemanjarakocevic3642 3 года назад +19

    Good for one year!
    Now practice bending(buy a tuner) and control ur intonation always.
    Then,practice synchronization of left-right hand using many practicing metods available on yt
    Try then scales(diatonic) and play it descending and ascending(slow till you get faster)
    And finally,try to cover solos,for example Bohemian rhapsody one,and try to learn how it happened(little help,its in E flat major which is relative c minor scale)-try to learn diatonic and relative minor to major scales.
    Keep it up and just play!

    I'm literally laughing. I ran across this post watched the entire clip, it reminded me of doing the same exact songs learning. I mean every single song you did I did lol it freaked me out it was like listening to me over a years time. A few things that helped me out with control timing and speed was my picking hsnd, anchoring my pinky down to the guitar. My fret hand Scales with a metrodome and using my other fingers instead of my pointer finger. Tips from Robert Baker, Phil X, and the man himself Marty Schwartz. Great job!

    I picked up my guitar January 2019 for the first time, used RUclips videos and no lessons, take it 2022 I am still learning but have genuine confidence, plus getting told I am good a lot (may not be true) but then again you never know, guitar is about the journey and a little self reminder of where you are is just to retry the first few challenging songs you tried as a beginner

  • @YanniZiangos

    Nice man :) I wish most of my students were as diligent as you are :)
    Pro tip: Buy a clip tuner and make sure that you are always in tune and check every 20/30 min to keep it tuned, the G and B strings are the worst!

    I’ve been picking up and putting down my guitars for the last roughly 6years not until recently I started to take lessons, and the lessons definitely help me keep going because it makes me have to be accountable to someone to prove I’m practicing. I love that you’re self taught, it’s a pretty awesome feeling to teach yourself how to do something. My self taught stuff is working on cars and driving’s stick shift, unfortunately playing guitar isn’t one of them but hopefully I’ll be able to play well some day!
