    In this video I am playing 30 songs that are great fun to play on an acoustic guitar. Real classics.
    In my 12 years of teaching I know what kind of songs are well suited for learning purposes or just overall fun to play.
    I'm not claiming these are the 30 best songs ever written. To be honest, some songs aren't my favorite by miles. But as a teacher and (hopefully) an inspiration, I want to have a wide palette of songs for you to enjoy! And for all songs goes; they are awesome to play on an acoustic guitar!

      If you play a lot, you can point out inconsistencies... or just listen to great playing.

I've been wanting to learn to play for 10 years and kept giving up. Just inherited a Martin D16GT when my father died a few months ago. I think it's time I take this guitar and start learning for real. So overwhelming trying to figure out the best approach to learning. I want to understand the language of music-- notation and theory-- want to learn guitar and piano-- want to play favorite songs and someday write my own songs, as I am a poetry writer. Anyway.

    I'm playing the guitar for 13 years now. Yet I have to admit I'm not anywhere near you when it comes to "clean playing". Not a single snarry string sound, that's ... a statement.
    Also I'm glad you had "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" by LZ in your list. It's a must do for everyone on the acoustic guitar although I was wondering why you missed "Dust in the Wind" in such a list. But there are already enough guys complaining about missing songs here (how dare you not to cover all 2 billion acoustic songs on this planet in your list?!).

      @robertocaesar 5 лет назад +13

      You guys didn't know? He used a software known as autocleaning.
      It is very similar to auto tuning with the difference that when the sound gets to a minimal threshold of sound the software turns that little interference noise into absolute silence.
      The software is intelligent too. It may correct bad fingerings and poor sound projection, making even real mediocre jerk guitar players into awesome ones.
      If you want a software like this, let me assure you, I was kidding the entire time.
      Paul plays awesome and let never be such a stupid thing that replaces human playing.

      Just be patient, man. I've been playing since I was 12 and I'm about to turn 41. Just this year I've made vast improvements on my clarity and I'm a much less sloppy player than I was last year. We all evolve at different rates.

Let me just say that he's amazing and anyone who says he isn't, just shut up. Speaking from experience what he is doing is done hard to do stuff, so keep up the good work man. 👏👏👏

    I started to learn how to play the guitar in May 2023. My guitar was made in 1984, the same year I was born. I prefer nylon strings, they aren´t that sharp, but they give me a warm feeling. You play it beautifully, your video motivated me a lot. My goal is to reach my 45 y.o birthday playing it quite well. Thank you!
