my 3 months playing progress on My Jinji: ruclips.net/video/2wjkDyzGkeg/видео.html
i think i've improved a lil? 🥲
yeah!!!
Love this picture like the thumbnail
Omg I have the same amplifier as yours. My dad bought it for me in 2020. BTW are you Malaysian Chinese? Well, I am. BTW, the amplifier cost me 510 Malaysian Ringgit after a discount
I love the reaction when people get their first electric guitar. It makes my heart warm bcz it reminds me how happy i was when my parents saved up enough money to get me my first electric guitar.
thats sweet❤
Well, I'm probably getting my first electric guitar on Saturday (I'm going to the music shop, I hope we get it). I saved enough money for guitar and amp 'cause I had to save money on my own, but it's ok, I learnt how not to spend money hahah. I'M SO EXCITED!! I started playing the guitar when I was 11 (about a year ago) in July, so I decided that I need electric too. Music is my passion, so I also play the drums, a little piano and I try to sing well.
Ps. I'm not sure if we get the guitar, but I hope so... wish me luck!!
@@kubek_.did you get the guitar? I also have one (I'm a beginner but it's been 5 months I've begin when I was 11 too btw!!!)
I'm getting my first electric guitar soon!! I'm so excited bc I ordered the last one in my favourite colour!! :)
(electric guitar and amp)*
when you said “i was afraid it was gonna be a 3 minute passion” THAT WAS SO RELATABLE. bc i waste money on sm things that i’d lose interest in like the next day
bro ME rn. i’m hoping this isn’t one of those phases 😭 i barely started learning how to play today
SAMEEE n i really wanna learn guitar 😭😭😭
FR I was screaming bc it's so relatable
@@imsosadbro2996how did it go? do you still play guitar?
Its totally okay as long as youre not taking away from your essentials.
As someone who lived exactly like that till 32.
I even thought im bipolar or something lol.
But guitar stuck around with me though im still pretty bad at it, it's my favorite hobby behind handheld gaming.
Dont be afraid to try new passions lol.
Ill repeat, just dont splurge too much cash
"it looks pretty" is the best argument for picking a guitar. You need a reason to feel cool and pick it up for practice. If you don't like the way it looks, you won't pick it up for practice.
Little tips ! Use a pick , its more accurate , you will have much more stability and control on your right hand, so try as much as possible to always keep your index finger in contact with the fretboard and let the other fingers do the work. This way you save a lot of unnecessary movement which makes progress more difficult. Practice at low speed until you feel it's easy and you know the piece well, then increase the speed and you'll have a lot of ease. You got this ! 😁
Really? I find it way more harder to be precise with a pick. Maybe it’s because I started learning with finger style but using just your fingers seems more controllable.
@@toybonniesfm my friend has this problem too.. but now (since I joining his Church member) he can playing both finger style and pick style for any genres...
I also recomended playing up-down pick technique with 60bpm at begining...
1. Mostly song I find at church never been slower than 60-65bpm, so it is a good starting point.
2. 60bpm equal to 1 beat per second. Good enough for practicing with an analog clock... 🤘🏻
@@toybonniesfm yeah honestly I regret not starting with a pick because it took sooo long to actually be accurate with one. So if your starting do your self a favor and use a pick mainly but still add some finger style in there.
using a pick or not is totally subject wot
@@urm9.m nah a pick is better than using ur nails or fingers when ur strumming or using electric doofus
The progress is incredible?!? Are you kidding! You’re going to master electric guitar in no time
Master a musical instrument in no time? Don't kid yourself
@@taaakaa bruh shut up 💀
it's not incredible lmao
Do you know what master means? It means like angus slash those guys the legends of rock n roll. Not saying she's bad she probably better than me
@@Thrash..maniac69 dont even think angus and slash are a good example tho maybe vai satriani would do better
Just stumbled across this. This video is 3 months old so hopefully you're still keeping it up. I've been playing for 20 years and I still love and learn new things on guitar all the time!
I really want to get into electric guitar but I'm completely beginning and don't know how to start. I know your probably a busy person but if there was any way you can help can you please 🙏🏽
@@nayyawoods Hi Nayya. That's alright - absolutely I can help impart some advice if I may. First and foremost I would say that we all had to start somewhere so don't feel overwhelmed about anything at all and that includes how old you are. The old adage that age doesn't matter rings true and this goes both way if you think you're too old or too young to understand. Second of all, I would say do what you want to do. Do not fall in the trap of learning theory because you think you have to or play the type of music you think you should as a beginner. Ultimately, you do you.
Now - as a first electric I've got to say the new generation have an abundance of high quality gear for not a lot of money so go and spoil yourself to as much budget as you think you can. You can get a very decent guitar for £150 odd (Kramer Baretta Special) and a decent enough amplifier for two digit figures (Black Star Fly 3 Portable amp). The important thing to remember is to get a guitar that you like and will motivate you enough to keep playing. As a beginner I'd really recommend something like a Squier Classic Vibe if you've got the budget for £350 odd but as I say Kramer offer a very decent guitar at very reasonable prices. Similarly Harley Benton offer decent guitars at sensible prices. What is your budget? Ultimately it boils down to the style of music you want to play. Different guitars offer different styles and variations to your playing but I'd say something like an S type (Stratocaster), T Type (telecaster) or Les Paul type are more than versatile enough for most music. What music do you like? What motivated you to play guitar?
@@EricCPOP Well alot of songs inspire me so I kinda want to play all genres and I heard the telecaster was really good for that. I think under $500 usd would be my budget for the simple fact I could earn the money and get it. What about amps? And foot pedals I heard they were also veryyy verry important
@@nayyawoods I don't think pedals are a music if I'm honest. I'd focus more on the guitar and amplifier first and the pedals can come second. A Telecaster is a great choice and is versatile enough for most music. I'd recommend a Squier Telecaster Classic Vibe which is within your budget 🙂. These guitars are seriously bang for buck for the money. As far as amplifiers go I'd say in some ways they do more to shape your tone than the actual guitar (of course my opinion). One of the best guitar amplifiers I ever bought was a minature Blackstar Fly 3 and I swear the tones you could get out of that small box was unreal. It retails at £60 which is double figures. If you want to spend a bit more I'd recommend a Boss Katana 50 MK which is around £250.
How cute are you
Hey Hanson here! First time on this channel, and I just wanted to suggest a few things you could do with the amp you got. You can plug a headphone jack from your Ipad to your amp (via the socket called 'Aux') so you can hear your tracks straight from the amp (for more consistent sound la), you could also plug your headphones into the 'Phone' socket so you practice and not bother anyone else. Good progress!
Oooooo! Thanks for the tips 😆😆
Sorry my English is not very good but when you say that we can plug the headphones into the « Phone » socket so you don’t bother anyone, do you mean that there is no sound and it’s going through the headphones? I ask because it’s been a long time I want to learn the electric guitar but I can’t because of the walls of my house that aren’t soundproof so I have only been able to watch people play on RUclips…
@@Kadiary Yes! You're correct!
You actually play the guitar really good I know playing it is not really easy but you can do it keep going girl
Bullshit
Well, usually you would start off learning how to play finger style properly but overall one week, that was good progress
It’s giving writing is not easy ~grammarly
Bruh it's fucking terrible shit
@@nailamansouri1771 what do you mean?
you’ll go so far!!! On my first week of playing, i was nowhere near your level! Now i’m 4 years in and still going strong. Don’t ever give up
Your excitement ran through me and made me remember my first day when I received my guitar as well. And imagine how serious I am because that was 16 years ago. Don’t stop playing it! If you ever need some tips or advices feel free to ask :)
Slowly but surely. Brings me back to those days where I myself started playing as this but years of experience and right now im still learning, evolving , creating and after all you can explore. Enjoy your music journey and never give up.
your guitar is so prettyyy 😭 and your playing is so good!! keep going u got this 💕💕
🥺❤️❤️
@@ChristineTay
*_Very good looking indeed~_*
I remember my first guitar, it was a squire as well. It gets much hate as players get more advanced but will always be OG
For only playing a week you are doing great. And, you made a very good choice on what to get. That Sonic Grey Bullet Strat is really nice, and the Champion 20 is a great little amp, with a lot of good different amp sounds, raging from crystal clean to screaming rock and everything in between, and it has a lot of good effects built in too. I have the next amp above that one, the Mustang LT25. We can't even get that Strat here in the US. All the Bullet Strats that they sell here are without a tremolo (actually vibrato) bar. I've been playing for many years, and I have some American made Fender Strats, but I also have a Squier one, and two Squier Bullet Telecasters. Keep playing, and at the rate you're going, you'll be onstage with a band before you know it. 😊👍🤙🙏🎸🎵🎶🔉🔊🎧
Hey, I picked up the electric guitar myself a while back to learn, not too long before you did. Cool to see someone else pick it up and joining in.
Best wishes to your progress! Maybe one day I'll be covering one of your songs.
For amps I would recommend the Boss Katana since it’s got cool effects built into the unit but you can also change what types of effects are built into the amp using your computer too! I heard many good things about the Positive Grid Spark amps which has similar features as the Boss Katana Line up and is easier to use and compact in size.
The best amp is the one you like and can afford brands don't matter.i would recommend no amp when beginning the guitar journey. It's just a distraction at that point in the learning process. And it can be frustrating having a sound in your head you can not achieve yet. A person's "sound" will develop on its own without a guitar amp. It's not just your amp settings and effects that make up your tone. It's the chord voicing you use. Your picking technique. Where you pick the notes on the string. Baby steps I'm half surprised you didn't say joyo zombie with whatever cab everyone that wants to sound like everyone else uses. I sound like me playing guitar through the cheapest line 6 or a marshall jcm 800 with a few effect pedals.
Love love the progress… I too absolutely love the guitar and ik that the struggle is real 🥲 but you can surely do it! 💗
It’s so satisfying to see you play guitar, it makes me want to learn it 🫶🏻✨
its a great hobby you never get bored
For the stiffness in your fingers i def recommend practicing techniques the improve finger individuality like the spider walk along with some hand stretches! Youre doing so good, keep up the good work :]
this is my dream.. im just a teen rn , I have tried multiple instruments... they said im talented but electric guitar is still the one I want but im too broke T-T im jealous but one day ... ill get one.!
i've wanted an electric guitar for a few years now but haven't gotten it since i'd have to teach myself, but you've really motivated me!
I know it’s been a year but have you gotten one?! Learning guitar is the best decision I’ve ever made and I love it when other people enjoy it too!!
@@crunchycookie6712 i did get one! my first one too, i actually got it a week ago so it's funny that im rewatching this and seeing your comment now, i fell in love with the Epiphone G-400 PRO 2012 - 2019 - Cherry and i've been trying to play everyday now!
@@kitten6481 that’s so awesome!!! My cousin has nearly the same guitar lol it’s really nice. I’m so glad you’re enjoying it!! I hope you stick with it, it’s worth it :D
I randomly came across your video and YOU ARE LEARNING " MY JINJI" !
I have always wanted to pick up electric guitar and learn to play this song as well :>
Hope your progress of electric guitar is going great now and will be able to play this song soon
I was very impressed with your progress after a week. You did an amazing job! when I first started playing guitar after a week the only progress I made was learning how to hold the guitar. Keep it up! :)
All the best on your guitar journey!! Your excitement reminded of how I felt when I got my first electric guitar, which was also a Squier Stratocaster. And that is some great progress in one week 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
i just ordered one off of amazon in pink I hope i can learn it as well as you!
updates???
keep rocking on the guitar! but rly a squire??? i love it UwU!
The editing on the vibrato... lmao
That was really good only for one week. One of the most fun things you can do when you got first electric guitar is play with the knobs, the pick ups, and finding several tones. And a strat is really good for finding tones.
Great video!!
Woowwww your playing shocked me like boo you took that lesson on a week and that's amazingggg
I've been playing thirty years, Wonderful to relive the early days through you
【 *Oh My Goodness! This vlog is so cozy and chill to watch* 】
@Christine Tay
Grateful and Thankful for this video
Really Enjoyable & Entertaining
😌
Really glad to see the wholesome and positive vibe~
*Ps. ... ...*
The Creativity and Productivity in this video is really
Unique and Special~
Thank you so much for making it so interesting for the audience to watch
i love sunset rollercoaster a lot, funnily enough the solo in "my jinji" is the first solo i learned in its entirety
AHAHA the way ur eyes sparkled when u received ur guitar was sooo wholesome!!!
🤭🤭🤭
@@ChristineTay
😲
Your playing sooo good .... I also love to have a electric guitar but my parents don't have that much 😔keep up 🥰
Tonight I ordered EVERYTHING to start playing guitar! It'll probably come by the end of the week, I'm so excited!
How it's going?
@@Luna-cp1kl Insane string buzzing. I didn't even get the guitar I actually wanted as I wanted to be a responsible adult who handles her money well. As a result, I'm getting the real guitar of my dream next week and will be starting all over! I already have everything else!
@@BlowUpTheOutsideWorld So how’s everything going now???
GIRL you make this look so EASY and FLAWLESS. Im struggling lmao
Awesome. I bought a Fender Stratocaster like a year ago, but never played it. I need to take it out the box, lol. Planning on getting the Fender Champion 20 amp too. It sounds nice.
You bought a real strat(non squier) and you NEVER played it???!??!??!?Wtf man
Nice starter kit Squire is really good and the Champ goes well with it. You play acoustic which explains your finger picking to that style of song. Your finger picking has a warm tone for that kind of song and you are doing what is called 'string skipping' very difficult with a pick as new to electric. Nice work for only a week! Good fingering work!
( Tip...when riding on one string at the end, rather than rely on one finger to stay on tempo use your other free fingers to help to pluck that one string too. Try placing your left hand finger on that last string you played. Don't move it around for now. Only your right picking hand fingers will move. Pluck first with ring finger...middle finger...then index finger in that order. Ring , middle, index. One by one over and over gradually faster. You will eventually adjust how it's required doing a lead in a song including your baby finger.)You will be amazing!
That guitar it gorgeous and you actually play superrrr well! : D Keep it up! I’m subscribing for your awesome vibes.
I’ve been practicing with a plastic kids ukulele and recently I finally got my own legit guitar. I’m gonna try to push my journey along with you even though I’m a month late. 💘 🎸
the ending was really nice🥺💗
It is so nice seeing people with hobby. I don't even know what I likes to do meh
omg early for once wooooo
ahhhh youre living my dream!!! congrats on getting your new guitar! would love to learn electric guitar one day too ahahha
The playing was really 👍, the second song was quiet nice although the first you might wanna use a pick or your thumb instead of your fingers and make sure to play slow and slowly start to speed it up to make sure your playing in time and playing correctly, one of my biggest regrets not doing when I first started.
Really good for a week,but I really dont get why people go for 3 pickups like you really only need one bridge humbucker imo like maybe its cuz I play punk and dont really understand the whole love for neck and mid pickups but idk I think a bridge p90 or a humbucker is enough and ofc just a volume and tone knob,my ideal guitar would be a semi hollow 335 body without a pickguard one dirtyfingers humbucker in the bridge position and a tone and volume knob thats it but everybody has diffrent tastes I guess
yeayyy new vlog!! it's so cool when you played the guitar 😭✨
wooow when you played that song it was sooo good!!! Like all in 1 week !? congratulations!!😃👏
I don’t know why but this video is so relaxing to watch-
I have the exact same guitar and am in love with it. The color really is great.
Aww sorry dear i can't be first but your vlogs make me feel comfortable and cosy and your couple is just perfect may God bless you both ❤️ and your voice relax me 😭🤍
The fact that she's better after one week than me after on year😭😭
you are making me want to play electric guitar now!!! btw playing sunflower by rex sounded so good!!!!
girl your one week progress is better than mine
THE COLOR OF YOUR ELECTRIC GUITAR IS SO GOOD.😭
Hii Christine can u do some vids related to outfit & fashion🥺🥺 I really adore your style!!❤️
you're already doing so good on the guitar!! omg you're such a motivation to do better :")
that's a really fast progress u got there! keep it up chris!! i cant even be fast like that after a week of learning acoustic lol
NAH HER ONE WEEK PROGRESS IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE MY ONE YEAR PROGRESS😭😭
Have learning electric guitar you can play rock or pop on that guitar. You can also learn pentatonic scales and tapping on an electric guitar. Good luck
Yayyyy, another new vlog❤️😍🎉
heheheh 💗
@@ChristineTay
🤭
I am getting my first ever guitar next month..❤️❤️❤️!! Im really excited about it..✨💕..I will learn guitar for the first time .. Wish me luck guyzz💗💗
THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL AMP AND GUITAR HOLY SHTTTTT LOVED THEEEM!!!!!
YOU'RE SO GOOD! IM GONNA GET MY OWN ELECTRIC GUITAR SOON TOO EJBXUDBDJDE🥹❤️❤️
Congratulations! That’s a beautiful guitar and amp!
Love the ending of your video lmao so cutee!! And you sound so good!! 🔥
YES
ur actually really good! especially since u only played acoustic, when i picked up a electric guitar at guitar center it was way different and i was not used to it at all, but ur getting the hang of it well! try having one hand do one thing at a time, what i mean if ur left hand messes up just keep the right hand playing each string, dont stop each hand and wait for the other hand to catch up! but anyway its rlly good! :D
that's reallyyy good progress in a week! for your left hand, I'd say it's a bit easier if you support single finger that's pressing onto the string with the rest of your fingers to create a more stable sound
Squier bullet in sonic grey this was my first electric guitar 🎸 and I love it especially for the price. Nice vlog
I got a beginners amazon brand seafoam green color strat style guitar set about 6 months ago. It's really fun! I'm a very slow learner so I'm just now figuring out how to play a full song 🤣
Ooo do you have a link for it?
@@justdayana_ as a 2 year guitar players I beg you please do not buy guitars online go to a store try it out and then buy it,you gotta feel that wood and those electronics and the nooks and crannys before you buy
@@Borax15 well Said ❤️
Im so identified with you when u said u were reluctant to get your guitar because u thought id be a 3 minute passion.
XD I'm evaluating getting mine and im making the the 2-3 month test. If I keep watching videos and having the gut to buy one withing this time....that means i totally should get it
this is the first time i see one of your videos and i subscribed directly cuz your content and your editing style are simply amazing
i remember when i got my first guitar, it was a glarry gst. i was so excited
omg i’m getting the exact same guitar colour and everything for my birthday in four weeks and i just got reccomended this haha
Her commentary is smooth
So happy for youuu!!
Heheheh thankyou!!
@@ChristineTay
😌
we've been waiting ♡
I started to play the guitar few years ago and now I kinda wanna move to an electronic guitar too ❤🥺
İf you do Id reccomend an epiphone les paul junior,esspecially the bj signstures.They are perfect for begginers they have one p90 or a humbucker in the bridge and a volume and a tone knob,none of that neck pickup bullshit just plug it in and rock out also the pickups used on those guitars are pretty high gain so they are perfect for more metal and punk style things
U ARE DOING SO GOOD OML!
girl got my dream guitar in the exact colour and everything, first try
the outro is amazing and you are so good to only be playing for a week
i dream witha a electric guitar, and watch this video make me feel so excited for her and the new guitar, and you play it so good !!!!
i didnt expect you to mention My Jinji by Sunset Rollercoaster that was a nice surprise lol good luck youre gonna have so much fun learning
Wow,i like how are you playing, so soft and chill
ohhh you play the guitar , loved it so much , good luck
i got my first guitar today omg T^T i hust finished watching this vlog then we went to the mall to see it !! love ur vlogs
Love a talented queen 😍
thats so cool that you were so excited you made a playlist !! i did something like that too, i really want an electric guitar and i dont even have it yet but i have so many youtube tutorial links saved for my fav song
Saw this video on my recommendation, video is so good it reminds me of my first electric guitar.
New guitar day is the best. enjoy :)
If that amp has a reverb nob turn it up a lot it sounds super pretty and don’t forget to turn the middle all the way up and trouble up as well but bass very low to get a really pretty tone
heyy.. that was a nice one. Keep it up girl.. 👍 I just starting my learning on electric guitar as well, that's why I stumble on your vid. It's my second week of learning guitar btw.
The combination be like:
1.Squier bullet Strat
2.Ibanez cable
3.Fender amp
YOU GOT SO GOOD IN JUST ONE WEEK❤
omggggg i love everything u love 🥺!! Keep the good work!! Ive been wanting an electric guitar for sometime already 👀!!AND YESS OMG MY JINJIIIIIII !!! Gurl pls listen to Summer cozy rock by Orange ocean!!I think you're gonna love it!! And oh u inspired me to start crocheting too !!!❤
