It only took a few days for me to play it quickly and fluidly. By the time I was able to play it, my fretting hand hurt like hell and could stretch much further than before. However, I only learned the basic thumb slapping technique, and the hard one probably takes ages to master
@@Trahzy I use to but just hear that awesome warm tone, it speaks for itself! It’s a tone that ya get can’t get with an electric, the only thing that comes close is an acoustic~electric. I also only play acoustic because it’s nothin’ fancy just simple and amazing. It’s also more humble and down to earth, it’s the guitar cowboys and miners would play around the campfire after a long day’s work.
i was taught on classical, and practiced on my acoustic at home, and have lived in a little apartment for years so I never had much of a chance to start electric. Then i developed more of a love for fingerstyle stuff and its just made for the acoustic more often so here I am an acoustic stan.
In all honesty, even though I prefer electrics, acoustics just give a sound that isn't achievable by an electric, so every once in awhile when I am playing too hard on an electric I will switch to my acoustic, its also honestly really good for discipline practice, because every mistake you make will be clearly heard.
Going though the same process right now. Started on an LP eleven years ago, got a Taylor for my birthday this year. Neil Young is back to being my musical God…
Ever since I learned piano, I rarely pick up my strings anymore. I used to talk to bad about piano before I learned. “That’s why guitars are more stylish and more tailored to the individual” Then I discovered the harmonic possibilities of the keyboard and was blown away. That made me realize that your harmonic approach has far more character tailored to you than just a color or style. And oddly enough I think I left that comment on this video or another one of your clips year ago. 😂
I was watching an interview with Charlie hunter last night and he was talking about his work w John. John is a huge fan if Charlie's playing and you can hear it in Neon. His entire technique for that tune is based on Charlie's playing. Def check out that interview it's so good!
This was perfect 😂. I know people who can relate. Unfortunately (For my ability to relate to this video), I started learning guitar at 9 years old or so, 23 ish years ago on a classical acoustic from the 60’s. Went from there, to a crazy. Late 80’s “Vantage” superstrat. That I looooved! And put a TON of stickers on. Played hundreds of shows on that crazy beautiful beast. I ended up with a couple more superstrats, and then one day, I was gifted a Les Paul. Went bonkers after that. Got into semi-hollow guitars, started playing more blues and southern rock, and a lot of grunge (I was a punk/metal player for the most part before the Les Paul changed my world). Then I got into some insane offset stuff, went through a crazy Gretsch phase, then I got into tele’s. Don’t get me started on pedals and amps. Anyway. Now I run a studio (and still play live) and I have a bit of everything. Telecasters though…Damn. They’re the bee’s 🐝 knees. With the 330/335/345/355 coming in second. For now 😂 ! As a guitar players journey of discovery is lifelong for most. Some artists find what they like early and stick to it. But for the vast majority of career and hobbyist musicians, it just never ends 😁! Never ever. Ever ever. Ever. ☮️🙌🏽
Every song I learn to play, I learn on acoustic first. Then after I feel it's good enough I'll play on electric and try to get it to pace. Unless it's an acoustic song. Then I just get it to pace on acoustic🤣
I came from electric to aucustic, been playing for about 10 years and i would say 7 of thore years is on my aucustic. I just feel more connected to it!
neon is literally just slap with extra steps. honestly, acoustic or classical is my favourite guitar as a bass player. because fingerstyle. i cant pick for shit. and saying it like this makes it sound like i can play in general. anyway, that slappy spanish stuff is fire and i love playing bass with an acoustic/classical player.
I just bought my first guitar (Squier Tele) YESTERDAY and today I went back to the shop and saw a very stunning acoustic with bird art on the pick guard I reminded myself I was only there to get a cable 😂 Also had a lot of fun practicing a few chords and playing around with my Tele today 🥰 A very pretty cream color, and I love the laurel fretboard 😍 There are so many different sounds you can make just playing around, too! I've played other instruments too (piano, flute, violin), and never before looked at my hands on an instrument and thought, "They look like they belong there." 🤍
Wait, just WAIT, ‘til he discovers Jorma….. There will be bits of brain everywhere. Jorma’s acoustic stuff is simply mind blowing. Jorma is to the acoustic Ole’ Timey Stuff, as much as any living man.
I went from electric to acoustic because our band broke up and I cba to find another one. Learning finger style songs meant being able to play the melodies/percussion of a band on one instrument!
i started with an acoustic and i got bored with the limitations after a year and i got my first electric… now i have 4 electric guitars and that same acoustic whos strings have not been changed since 2017
Me playing acoustic: I usually play electric but I like both equally Slips and drops pick into the body: I exclusively play electric, I do not like acoustic.
Neon: the song that made you realise you're not as good as you thought you were.

Lol
The McDonald's I work at only sells sprite no sugar now for some dumb fuckin reason

“It’s called Neon” sent me holy shit
What's the punchline about neon
@@rw2452 it’s a doozie of a song to learn cx
@@rw2452 go watch that man play it and you will understand. It’s otherworldly
Man didn't have to switch out tho lmfao
Absolute cracking endline…😂
Me: learned neon over a 2 month span
Also me: doesn’t play it for 2 days and can no longer play it
Feels relatable, even tho I never learned neon
I learned it in couple of days on electric, in a little slower tempo, and after I didn't play it for a week, I forgot it all.
It only took a few days for me to play it quickly and fluidly. By the time I was able to play it, my fretting hand hurt like hell and could stretch much further than before. However, I only learned the basic thumb slapping technique, and the hard one probably takes ages to master
Me who hasn't played it in a month but still wants to learn: 😰
Lmaooo i was thinking "if this doesn't end with raging at Neon it isn't accurate"
the moment he mentioned mayer i knew he was going there. i was just hoping he attempts to play it.
“clapton used one of these” Layla mtv unplugged being my favourite song live played by him 🧍♂️
Just found Layla last last week. This seems to be a canon event.
As a guitarist, there are things I absolutely love about both acoustic and electric both are amazing
Acoustic guitar are so versatile you can play almost anything on it
U can do the same with an electric if u don't use distortion
Same with electric, but with electric you can play even more styles.
I went from wanting an electric as a kid to respecting acoustics as an adult
I swapped to acoustic when I lost power in my house, haven’t swapped back 😅
Lol, acoustics rock 👌
When I look at my playlists, I realize how many acoustic songs there actually are
You learned wonderwall as an intro to accoustic guitar
I learned wonderwall so i can ruin every party i go too
We are not the same
Deftones in acoustic slaps
B-sliding all over the rarities
I use to play electric guitar but now I’m just strictly an acoustic guitarist because of that beautiful tone!
in 68 Marshall stopped using gold as the letter color... it is now white
Why cant you play both

was it really hard to transition to acoustic if you are an electric guitar player or people are exaggerating?
@@berry3656 They just exaggerating
Ahhh the acoustic version of Neon i see that "that" will make you switch to electric
I really like Opeth’s acoustic riffs
Favorite band of all time
i was taught on classical, and practiced on my acoustic at home, and have lived in a little apartment for years so I never had much of a chance to start electric. Then i developed more of a love for fingerstyle stuff and its just made for the acoustic more often so here I am an acoustic stan.
Iko
Know.and respect the 100 watt marshall but the buggera is louder
Here comes the sun is the perfect blend of technicality and actually sounding good
Alice In Chains unplugged made me love the acoustic
Same here and Eddie Vedder
Variety is the spice of life. That's why pretty much all the great players play both.
The first song I learned on acoustic was Polly, followed by Waiting On A War, followed by My Hero.
It’s like a Metallica song it doesn’t even count- that one cut deep I learned every song from 83 to 88
Damn, you're missing a lot of awesome metallica songs then
@@tijmen6947 I meant it from all the years
"its called Neon" fair enough
“Did you learn any new songs on acoustic?”
“One.”
“Oh cool! What song?”
“One.”
“No no no, *what* song, not how many.”
“One.”
Any guitarist should play everything. I started on a jumbo fret classical and by the time I was given an electric I could shred.
This was painfully accurate..
In all honesty, even though I prefer electrics, acoustics just give a sound that isn't achievable by an electric, so every once in awhile when I am playing too hard on an electric I will switch to my acoustic, its also honestly really good for discipline practice, because every mistake you make will be clearly heard.
I started on acoustic and absolutely fell in love with the sound feel and tradition of them. I barely play my electric anymore.
Going though the same process right now. Started on an LP eleven years ago, got a Taylor for my birthday this year. Neil Young is back to being my musical God…
the clapton one is so fcking accurate
Bro, sameeee
THE NEVER-ENDING WONDERWALL EACH TIME YOU TEST A GUITAR.
Acoustic is like strength training. Every athlete needs it

POV: *You hear Pink Floyd for the first time*
For a sec i thought he was playing Goodbye Blue Sky lol
If by day 5 you’re already going to neon and actually managing to get it? I bow to you
Always loved acoustic, especially playing Bossa Nova
You sound good on the acoustic!

Blues on acoustic and electric is so nice
That is a really nice acoustic.
I started with an acoustic and picked up my freinds electric and felt like I was hipnotized so this vid is really alien to me

I'll just agree, as a bassist, "Mayer has some fire!"

One of the most underrated vidoes
Respect for playing Fade to black

Exactly 💯 my friend most guitar tunes ✍️ on accuistic before electric, FACT!!!!!
These can give a vibe of nostalgia which never comes out of electric boys
Same here. I heard motley crue and wanted to play metal. Now, at 50 I'm into accustic music more a more
I came from electric to aucustic, been playing for about 10 years and i would say 7 of thore years is on my aucustic. I just feel more connected to it!
Nylon string guitars eventually get you into classic/Spanish guitar
is this nylon or steel?
@@Nadia-im6oqsteel
Snuff/Vermillion pt 2- slipknot are amazing acoustic songs
What’s the name of the second song from day 2 ?
Love your videos man
Neon is insane
Hahaha it always comes back to Neon doesn't it?
Its good to be balanced with both acoustic and electric, i love having an acoustic rhythm and putting electric over it. Season your music to taste 🎸🎶

acoustic is just a vibe
I find myself just using an acoustic simulator pedal most of the time.
Andy McKee -Rylynn , that’s what got me to start playing acoustic
Its my absolute favourite instrument
This is why I like sometimes playing clean through my DAW.
What was that second song? It sounded like Goodbye Blue Skies by Pink Floyd at first, but then it kinda wasn't that.
Electric players :learns wonderwall
Acoustic players :we don't do that it's illegal
Opposite
slow dancing in a burning room sounds good on both.
Once you discover Led Zeppelin acoustic - there is no turning back
Bro that’s too relatable 😂
I never understood the acoustic hate it’s such an amazing instrument and sound there’s so much creativity behind one
I love your telecaster
Bro! I know your bein funny an all, but you really are a KILLER guitarist. Well done man 👍🏼
My favorite guitar right now is my kids mini strat because I can stick it in between the couch and the wall and just take it out and practice
I just enjoy playing them both because they both serve different purposes?
This is perfect bro 👌

i thought he was about to convince me that i need to sell mine and get an electric guitar 😂
Oh I love One by Metallica, that was a thedooo level pun
You not lying. Only reason I started playing guitar was to get dates but now I’m in love with it.
Neon acoustic live in LA is the version to learn :)
"Claton used one of these ONE TIME" had me
Wait until he discovers Doc Watson
Play Wonderwall on that electric. Rock it out!
I'm on an acoustic season at the moment. The most fun I've had for $15. Electric has taken a huge back seat.
