Learning guitar is such a humbling experience. Whether you have been playing for 30 days or 30 years you are always learning. Always a student of the art. Enjoy every minute, time is short.
If you want to learn the guitar with online lessons I strongly advise Justin guitar. I did a part of his beginner course and now I'm able to play some cool songs. It worked for me but ofcourse it might have different results for someone else.
Robbert cheers Robbert! I’m actually just about to finish my Justin Guitar free trial. I agree, I think it’s a much more well rounded app that really teaches you a lot better, but for a casual like me, I think I’ll come back to Yousician. Thanks for sharing 🤙
The Justin guitar course online is all free all the way to advanced absolutely banging. Eventually I'll check out the app ,/ song books but for now I just don't have the time
@@alishaahmed11 you’re gonna hit a wall after about 6-12 months where you feel like you’re not improving, and I personally gave up the guitar for about two years as a result of that. My advice is to look into the pentatonic scale and such once you get to that point.
I've been using Yousician for 5 yrs now and when I started I knew a little bit but not much. It changed my life. I play loads of songs. I'm lead guitarist in a band and am totally addicted to it.
I learned just by playing it and picked up on it as I went, watched RUclips videos but never any apps like that or personal lessons just RUclips an trial and error my friend
Guitar was one of the hardest things for me to learn, even more difficult than learning to blow glass. Not many skills translate to 'holding down strings with your fingers'. But after awhile you move from the frustrating practice stage to just having fun. There really aren't any secrets other than practice. Once you walk the same road a thousand times you no longer have to see where your going.
About how long did it take you to go from frustrating practice to just having fun? I'm about 16 days in and I'm horrible as expected, but slowly getting better. I'm at this point actually enjoying the frustration because I know it's to be expected.
@@brad9908 It got fun after I came back to it years later. I wasn't the most dedicated to practice early on. I'm still not a master, I just consider it a tool to make some pretty noise.
@@brad9908 hey, if ur still stuck, one thing I would recommend is to learn really famous riffs, cuz they are pretty easy in most cases like the James bond theme, but playing them u feel real professional
It's been 7 years since I started playing the guitar, I only got decent after 4 years where I could play more complex songs and riffs, the guitar is all about perseverance, practice makes perfect after all
For anyone looking where to start: look into the basic chords... G, C, D, Aminor, E, Eminor and finally F. Then try to learn pentatonic scales, you might be able to play along to some songs you like. I’m still learning a lot but that is what helped me feel like I was not stranded on one song.
I feel Yousician is good for people who already know a thing or two about guitars. I started a few weeks back, opened up Yousician and it straightaway made me play songs. I was able to pick it up after a while but wasn't learning any thing per se . So I decided to invest into an online course with an instructor who actually is guiding with all the bare basics. I am mostly practicing and exercising to improve my dexterity. With a few songs on Tabs. Haven't yet started with chords. I feel alot comfortable though. Although my pace is comparatively slower than most beginners. I am focusing on perfecting each step and then moving onto the next one.
Well, I don't think so. But I can understand what's going on right now with you. I bought a guitar and started on the same day 10 August 2020. I didn't even knew how to hold a guitar on that day. During the night, when I learnt how to hold it properly and play the guitar, a problem came up in front of me when I saw the fretting part on yousician, which was just very close to the starting. I tried to touch the fret and play it, but no sound came. I tried for about half and hour, searched on internet and then my brother who was also new, tried to play frets, and then I realise that we have to press the fret very hard for sound to come (not that hard really, for the first day starters it's very hard). I got in rage many times in the following days, as yousician gives significantly hard songs each time you master a lesson, but practice, practice is what makes you learn. Do the chapters again and again, until you get atleast 3 silver stars and that's enough. Right now, I have completed the level 4, which consisted of basics about a guitar and have entered level 5, which is way too hard for me right now. But that's no problem bcoz learning things takes time. BTW I don't want to become a musician, I am doing good in studies, I just started playing guitar as a small hobby. *Sorry for this big comment* Well, I hope it helps.
Any advise? Coz i started on the 29th september, ive only been learning off youtube and trial and error, it just sucks without a teacher who can actually tell me what im doing wrong tho
@@jordynedwards5612 honestly RUclips vids r hard to learn off of unless u know a little. I recommend the app Fender as it is super awesome and has a lot of features on it. However the most basic app is Simply Guitar. Simply guitar is super easy however there ain’t a lot of material of there, mostly basic stuff. Hope this helps :)
RUclips tutorial channels like Marty Music are honestly the best way to learn guitar. I learned through watching his videos and I'm happy that I found his videos in the beginning.
V-P thanks for the heads up VP! While I use RUclips tutes for learning other things, I think I like gamified learning like apps offer for guitar. Good luck on your journey 🤙
Rocksmith is actually pretty cool if you want to gamify your learning. It's not 100% but it has some pretty cool songs to learn, cool "practice" mini games, even a jam session where you can customize your band instruments and just improvise. My only complaint was my guitar was never really tuned properly so some notes didn't register when you hit them but other than that, I love that game. Kinda like Yousician but better.
6:56 man idc how good or bad it sounded. The look on your face tells me everything man. It tells me you feel a bit of accomplishment in just a little time at learning and is happy about it. Keep up that good work man. Much love ❤️
@@dan.prosser 😂 nice. I been taking a look at your process through the videos of different apps you used and your doing pretty good dude. First thing I ever used was just tabs starting out and then I tried some apps, then some yt videos and some rocksmith here and there. They say RUclips videos can help the most but I do like rocksmith cause it feels like a real GH 😂
I've been playing guitar for 20 years. It took me about 3 years to become actually good. How? As a highschool student watching TV in my bedroom I ALWAYS had my guitar in my lap. Constant practice built a lot of ability. Also, melodic metal opens your mind to what can be done with a guitar, and when you want to imitate it, you will naturally develop some interesting abilities.
I’ve been playing guitar for about a year and a half now and I have been self taught and I’m getting pretty good! I’d say since this video has been uploaded you have been getting better yourself! Keep it up and the journey only gets easier
I have ADHD and Yousician is so helpful at keeping me consistent. I play every day for an hour, and started around the beginning of the new year. I played the violin previously so i have some basic fundamental understanding of rhythm/reading/intonation, etc and i love it. So much easier than digging through hundreds of valid RUclips videos (which i still reference too) and not feel overwhelmed. I highly recommend it!!
I've been learning guitar with Yousician for a while now and I gotta say it is a really great app for learning! If anyone happens to read this, I do suggest plugging in an electric with the app as it picks up the notes better, especially when doing hammer ons. I tried with my acoustic for a while but electric just worked better with the app. I don't know if Daniel has posted an update 3 years later but I'd love to see how he's doing with guitar now!
I’ve been playing guitar for 3 months now and I don’t give it’s crazy seeing u improve bro my dream is to become a famous artist in the future keep working hard on those guitar skills bro!!
I'm using Yousician for 9 months now, and it's important that you make your own practicing schedule. Explore the app as much as you can, and keep in mind that speed is useless, u don't need to be fast to play better. My tip is: if you're not able to play some songs from the app in it's original speed, just slow down the tempo in the own app and select the option to raise the speed gradually. Also keep in mind that: yes, you suck, but stop trying not to, isn't going to make u don't (i don't know if was clear), but just keep practicing. Like... 10 minutes minimum for day should make a difference.
i completed 6 th level and then life happened. didn't pick up the guitar for years. But came back and started with new account to see if my muscle memory is somehow intact or not. It surprised me that i was sailing through each task with mostly perfect note hitting. I am currently at level 4 because I am not subscribed and it does not give much time to work with. But yeh I can feel that i am having it easy now than i did years ago. Trust me yousician does help alot. I will eventually get a teacher to amend my mistake and fill up my knowledge gap but i will already be at a higher level dexterity with my fingers and will be able to absorb all the knowledge the teacher will throw at me.
Dont give up be persistent and you’ll get there. Im a recovering stroke patient who played for 25 years now im having to relearn from scratch. Im waiting for muscle memory to kick in any day now.
Tips I can give newbies: 1. Practice with a metronome, you'll improve your timing, it's probably the most important tip, you can get an app on your phone 2. Electric guitarists, get a headphone amp. It makes picking up and playing so much easier. And then you can play at any hour of day without bugging the neighbors. 3. Learn as much theory as you can, but when you learn the theory, connect it back to your playing. 4. Barre chords seem impossible until they aren't. Keep at it, your grip strength will improve and one day it'll be so easy you'll forget you ever even struggled.
I love your energy! It comes with practice but my advice would be to attempt songs you really love when you get more comfortable, there's not a feeling in the world like the one you get when jamming to your favorite songs even if its just a few chords ^_^ You'll get there for sure, you did very well for your first month
I ended up buying the 1 year subscription to Yousician and started playing since New Year’s Day. Never played an instrument before and this is difficult but I can see improvements. Good luck to you as well
If you want to give yourself a challenge after a while of playing guitar, try playing polyphia songs! It feels so satisfying to learn one. Listen to G.O.A.T or Goose
I learned more about playing guitar by learning songs. Every time I learned a new one it gave me even more confidence and made me more interested in learning more about the guitar. That was 11 years ago. I’m no expert but I’m to the point where I could go to a guitar store and play without being embarrassed 😂🤣. No bit in all seriousness I’m glad I learned how to play the guitar.
You know, I hadn't been rookie before I started my year guitar training. I knew chords, I could play them easly and with taste cuz I was taking lessons for some years, but actually I learned real playing in about a year ( mean I didn't stop taking lessons after I learned chords cuz I liked my teacher and it's important to consodilate skills). This year guitar training that I mentioned is fingerstyle training. This is much harder and diffrent style of playing, something like you did at the end of the video but with Bass slaps, hitting by wrist, harmonics in the same time. I was a lil overhelmet beginner, cuz I took some lessons too, but it wasn't as successful as it was by training alone for the year. I started from easy songs with only one note and bass string written on guitar tabs. Then I learned slaps. Then slaps and pulling strings in the same time, which was very hard to learn. I didn't finish after that. Then I learned how to do hits by wrist. The hardest thing I was trying to learn was hittting by wirst and playing in the same time. At the beginning I had a big pain cuz of hitting, even red area close to the arteries. But I actually did it. Next thing I tried to learn was clear harmonics. Wasn't hard after what I've been trough but not so easy to do it fastly cuz I had to change position of the neck from 1st fret to 13 fret e.g. I'm not gonna continue what I have learnt cuz I think noone wants to read it but I want to say something. I have been learning fingertyle since June 2019 and I'm not gonna stop. There's always someone who is better than you, but your purpose should be to get his lvl and surpass him. Just find your motivation ( mine are Andrew Foy and Eddie van der Meer). And don't stop, cuz every person who tell you "stop" is weak and never will get what you try. You know why? Cuz you are not weak. The purpose of this comment is to tell you guys that you should never stop following your dreams. I just make my become true.
wow that´s actually super cool to see. You consistency paying off. And doing chords at 17 days! That honestly surprised me, kinda motivated me to practice more myself, seeing how consistency pays off. Great video man.
What this apps don't teach you: 1. Put the guitar (if it'slassical) in your left leg. 2. Guitar neck needs to be diagonally to your body. 3. Don't rise your left hand's thumb, keep it until the middle of the neck.
Depends on your style. As someone who got trained in classical and switched to modern I had to readjust some principles which were ingrained very deeply in my mind
I got the premium a few weeks ago, I’ve been grinding the lead stuff and I’ve def gotten better. That said I looked up how to finger pick, so use that method for my picking. I learned a few things at the start of quarantine, learned parts of some songs but never really got anywhere. I’m at the part now where you learn slides, it’s pretty hard but it’s a lot like guitar hero. Just grind that shit out till you can do it lol. Once it starts getting more complicated you can’t really afford to look at the guitar, and that’s kinda where I’m at rn. Working towards just kinda knowing where my hands are without looking. Gonna start learning some songs outside the app as well. That way I’m not some dude with guitar skills, and nothing to show for it lol. I probably on average put about 10-25 hours per week.
Awesome, cheers Nolan! 😳🤙 great time hear how you’re going, those trusty quarantine skills 😂😭 it’s a lot of fun, I’ll be keeping it up too, good luck 🤙
Me and another couple of girlfriends wanted to learn guitar in music at first year high school, we were handed our instruments, shown to a room and left to our own devices for the rest of the term. When the teacher sat down to asses our progress, suffice to say he was strangely bewildered, and promptly insisted we tried the flute. The flute teacher was much more competent, to say the least, and i did ok for a few years, while never finding a passion for it. 40 years later, and thanks to youtube, i am finally getting some of it down, and even loving some of it. I don’t know about that app, but i did pick up bits and pieces over the years after starting to play around with a bass so maybe i didn’t need start right ar an absolute beginner level, but many of the youtube videos have been incredibly helpful, including this one, although perhaps more on the level of attitude. Good luck and have fun.
Cheers D R! Thanks for sharing, great story! I filmed this a while back and have added a whole bunch of other resources and am really happy with how far I’ve come 😁
I'm learning guitar too, and my guitar is old and plays false notes and I'm too broke to buy a new one, but this is just so encouraging! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing experience of yours with us! Hope all the best for you mate! ❤
Old guitars can still be great! Just make sure to tune every time you play or consider changing the strings/repairing some stuff at the head :) it’s much cheaper than a new guitar
Steve! Thanks so much for sharing (and the kind words)! 😭🙌 I wish you the best, there’s something about playing (even when it doesn’t sound so good) that’s so rewarding 🤙
@@antoniocanoarredondo8997 yeah i have this one now and i'm a beginner. Yamaha C40 is really good for beginners but Yamaha F310 much more better because the first one is classical and F310 is acoustic.
ive started learning alone in july, today i can play a bunch of songs, every song i want to learn u just look up the chords and the strumming pattern... and it works switched to an acoustic from my cheap 30$ classic guitar and the difference is so amazing and fun so good luck m8
I'm complete beginner. I have finished my second week on Yousician and I'm now level 5. It's great in terms of learning the fretboard and theory. However, I can't memorize any songs and I can't improvise. I hope that I'll learn doing that too. This app isn't enough for learning the guitar completely, however it might help a lot for playing along with other people with the tabs opened somewhere. Anyway, try to practice at least 30 mins a day and make a faster progress, it's so much fun!
Hey Enes! I agree, I reckon it’s a great introduction to guitar, but maybe not the full package. For a free app though, I am amazed by the value, it’s a fun way to spend some time each day :) Thanks for your thoughts 🤙
Play the song you eant to play over and over again, you will (with time) be able to play it with out needing anything ti help you but the guitar and maybe the pick
The best advice I was given when it comes to learning guitar, is ‘Buying a cheap guitar, and Just play for 5 minutes every day. The only way you’ll become great at guitar is to fall in love with it.” And I still consider my self a noob at guitar, and I’ve been playing for 8 months now. My own advice is to find a song that you like and is easy, not Mary had a little lamb, and master it. Because if you love that song, you’ll feel guilty if you forget it so you’ll keep playing. The first song I learned on guitar was Leaves from the Vine from Avatar.
dude, thanks for your honest videos, it's really motivating for me. Being consistent, not taking yourself too seriously and having a good time is the best you can do to cherish this journey. After trying Yousician for a week, I've switched to the Guitar Learning Game app on my iphone, and found that it offers songs more to my taste and has a tad bit better audio detection. Hope to see new videos of you playing guitar!
Yo I’m just picking up the guitar again after like 15 years of not playing and I’ve been feeling really insecure and shitty because it’s a struggle getting back into it I’m basically relearning but seeing you struggle on day 30 I just picked my guitar up and did what you were doing on day 30 no problem easy piece a cake for me made me feel a lot fucking better about where I am right now I could be even more beginner than I am right now I guess so happy about that thank you for unintentionally giving me some encouragement 😅😂❤🎉
I've been wondering a lot about this app. Thanks for reviewing it. I just subscribed to ur channel. Would like to see more progress! Keep it up tho! No matter wt ppl say! Music is a beautiful thing!
Thanks so much for the kind words! I've been using and loving Justin Guitar at the moment, really starting to get into chord changes and strumming. I think it will be something I will carry on for years to come, and really improve at. Appreciated.
Yeah absolutely ur very welcome! I can't wait to see ur progress through this time. I play guitar as well but i need some extea help with cord changes and stuff. That's why I've been curious about the app. Good luck with it all friend ! 👍👋
Ive been playing for 4 years now and I tried yousician once for a week. It was for school project. To be honest I didnt learn anything from the app. I can say I got better teacher myself than using that app. Im also self-taught. NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE!💕
Jelly D thanks Jelly 🥰✊ I’m trying a bunch of different methods over the next few months and years, as long as it’s still fun, I’ll see what works best 🙌
You've inspired me bro. I practiced for maybe a couple of weeks in the past 😂. Yousician and Marty's Music. I put it down one day and kinda never picked it back up. I'm glad I found your channel. I haven't played in months. But starting today I'm picking it back up. Thank you 👊🏻🤘🏻
In my experience no apps or websites don't help you i found u just have to have a passion for it if u have a passion to learn guitar above all else u will master it the only thing that can really teach u right is you're guitar once you're hand eye coordination is bang on you're muscle memory is embedded deep in you're skin and you're ears are fully trained then u are indeed a master of this instrument always remember one thing though there is no set In stone way how to play guitar you play it the only way that suits you that's what makes it all fit
@@dan.prosser yeah u can mate if u feel they help you then fair enough people learn differently but i found them confusing but thats just me. take it slow and practice really does make perfect even if u have zero talent but 100 %passion u will go along way
Hey I would love to know, if you're still playing the guitar? I started today and I'm exited for this journey 😊 It was lovely to follow your first impressions.
Great job, Daniel! I had guitar lessons myself, long, long time ago at 5th grade, and you were playing way better on day 1 of the trial than I did after two years of private lessons... 👍🏻
When I started learning guitar 23 years ago i was a student. I had no internet, no tuners, no tutorials, no teacher. In addition to a strong desire, I only had my friend's old broken Soviet 7-string guitar (AKA the firewood log with finger-cutting strings), that I fixed and converted into a 6-string. My friend wrote me some chords that he still remembered. I bought new cheap nylon strings (1/3 of my monthly salary), of course they didn't stay in tune for more than a couple of days for the first six months. I'd strummed some good guitars in the music store and found out that my voice resonated with d-strings, so I got a kind of "tuning fork". The beginning was difficult AF. My fingers hurt AF, my roommates were mad at me. But I felt Happy. And now when I watch this video, I remember those feelings.
@@dan.prosser oh brother..... It's so pain stakingly annoying that my brain just wants to strum out music but my fingers don't work enough yet..... Arrrrrrrr god give me patience.....
Sylvester Kim wow thanks Sylvester! I actually got so frustrated trying to learn the F chord today that I stopped playing 😅😂 your encouragement will get me through the next lesson 🤙
It takes a couple weeks. You have to just keep trying. I set aside the first minutes of practice when my fingers were least fatigued to do it. Also learn B chords at the same time. 1. Keep adjusting barre finger to find a position which works for all the chords (F, Fm, F7, B, Bm) 2. Make sure you can ring out each string with enough pressue on barre, that's how I knew position of barre was good. 3. Use right arm to pull guitar back to create more pressure on barre strings. 4. Take a break from practising barres, fingers might get stronger.
I love the passion. Im excited for you and your progress. Yousician is cool and all. And So it fret zealot if you haven't heard of it. But the problem is that music and whatever instrument you play is all practice. And by practice i mean, "muscle memory. " I recently started playing guitar again after 6 years. 13 years ago i played violin for 2years in middleschool and was screamed at by my instructor because i was moving faster than the rest of the class... Told the instructor she was trash for crippling my progress. And quit orchestra. My parents were renting the violin and returned it. I started playing the violin because the same instructor told me after a year i could play my Squier electric guitar my father got me. I learned songs with tabs on the guitar. But could read sheet music and notes for violin but guitar always evaded me when it came to sheet music. I put music down for 10 years. And picked it back up about 2 months ago. Yousician will cripple you. Its like playing a piano with lighted keys for the song you are learning. And then trying to play a piano without lighted keys... Its laziness trying to find a short cut to become the best. It doesnt happen overnight. It is all muscle memory. Learning the chords. The notes. Acquiring an acute ear for every fret. Every string. Every note. Every chord. Every sound each string makes picking it. Plucking it. Using your nails. Up or down. Closer to the bridge. Further away. Palm muting... But mainly practice. Muscle memory. Ive tried the programs. The memberships. The guaranteed ways that the youtube ads assure success. Its all crap. Its all a sham. Some prick stealing your money. It might work. But the progress is slow and you become dependent on the algorithm of the program. Question that algorithm. Be skeptical. Find your oqn and do the same. Practice. Dont get frustrated and quit. Keep playing. Dont cripple your self. You got will and potential. So pick your guitar up right now and play it.
Wow Asanders 😳 what a great read 😳😳😳 cheers for sharing, I totally agree that muscle memory and consistency is the way! I use Justin guitar these days and it’s helping a lot! Good luck with it al ☺️🤙

Guitar was one of the hardest things for me to learn, even more difficult than learning to blow glass. Not many skills translate to 'holding down strings with your fingers'. But after awhile you move from the frustrating practice stage to just having fun. There really aren't any secrets other than practice. Once you walk the same road a thousand times you no longer have to see where your going.
Ah yes

For anyone looking where to start: look into the basic chords... G, C, D, Aminor, E, Eminor and finally F. Then try to learn pentatonic scales, you might be able to play along to some songs you like. I’m still learning a lot but that is what helped me feel like I was not stranded on one song.
Great advice Zachary 🤙 I’ve tried a bunch of different things since this vid 🤙
F is a bit trickier compared to the rest you listed. You need to use all 4 fingers to play this chord.
@DreadfulKrow f major 7 is a good attentive
I feel Yousician is good for people who already know a thing or two about guitars. I started a few weeks back, opened up Yousician and it straightaway made me play songs. I was able to pick it up after a while but wasn't learning any thing per se . So I decided to invest into an online course with an instructor who actually is guiding with all the bare basics. I am mostly practicing and exercising to improve my dexterity. With a few songs on Tabs. Haven't yet started with chords. I feel alot comfortable though. Although my pace is comparatively slower than most beginners. I am focusing on perfecting each step and then moving onto the next one.
Well, I don't think so. But I can understand what's going on right now with you. I bought a guitar and started on the same day 10 August 2020. I didn't even knew how to hold a guitar on that day. During the night, when I learnt how to hold it properly and play the guitar, a problem came up in front of me when I saw the fretting part on yousician, which was just very close to the starting. I tried to touch the fret and play it, but no sound came. I tried for about half and hour, searched on internet and then my brother who was also new, tried to play frets, and then I realise that we have to press the fret very hard for sound to come (not that hard really, for the first day starters it's very hard). I got in rage many times in the following days, as yousician gives significantly hard songs each time you master a lesson, but practice, practice is what makes you learn. Do the chapters again and again, until you get atleast 3 silver stars and that's enough. Right now, I have completed the level 4, which consisted of basics about a guitar and have entered level 5, which is way too hard for me right now. But that's no problem bcoz learning things takes time. BTW I don't want to become a musician, I am doing good in studies, I just started playing guitar as a small hobby.
*Sorry for this big comment*
Well, I hope it helps.
Any advise? Coz i started on the 29th september, ive only been learning off youtube and trial and error, it just sucks without a teacher who can actually tell me what im doing wrong tho
@@jordynedwards5612 honestly RUclips vids r hard to learn off of unless u know a little. I recommend the app Fender as it is super awesome and has a lot of features on it. However the most basic app is Simply Guitar. Simply guitar is super easy however there ain’t a lot of material of there, mostly basic stuff. Hope this helps :)

RUclips tutorial channels like Marty Music are honestly the best way to learn guitar. I learned through watching his videos and I'm happy that I found his videos in the beginning.

Rocksmith is actually pretty cool if you want to gamify your learning. It's not 100% but it has some pretty cool songs to learn, cool "practice" mini games, even a jam session where you can customize your band instruments and just improvise. My only complaint was my guitar was never really tuned properly so some notes didn't register when you hit them but other than that, I love that game. Kinda like Yousician but better.

I've been playing guitar for 20 years. It took me about 3 years to become actually good. How? As a highschool student watching TV in my bedroom I ALWAYS had my guitar in my lap. Constant practice built a lot of ability. Also, melodic metal opens your mind to what can be done with a guitar, and when you want to imitate it, you will naturally develop some interesting abilities.
I’ve been playing guitar for about a year and a half now and I have been self taught and I’m getting pretty good! I’d say since this video has been uploaded you have been getting better yourself! Keep it up and the journey only gets easier
Kamaran Baker thanks so much for the kind words of encouragement! Still such a long way to go, but still having a ball :) good luck to you 🤙
By self taught what have u been doing to learn? Just RUclips videos?
Good job man you earned a sub ive been playing the guitar for 6 years and what you did in 30 days is really good 😊
Clive Gomes clive that really means a lot. It takes lot for someone to say something that nice. I’ll keep being enthusiastic and practicing.

I have ADHD and Yousician is so helpful at keeping me consistent. I play every day for an hour, and started around the beginning of the new year. I played the violin previously so i have some basic fundamental understanding of rhythm/reading/intonation, etc and i love it. So much easier than digging through hundreds of valid RUclips videos (which i still reference too) and not feel overwhelmed. I highly recommend it!!
I've been learning guitar with Yousician for a while now and I gotta say it is a really great app for learning! If anyone happens to read this, I do suggest plugging in an electric with the app as it picks up the notes better, especially when doing hammer ons. I tried with my acoustic for a while but electric just worked better with the app. I don't know if Daniel has posted an update 3 years later but I'd love to see how he's doing with guitar now!
This is a really high quality for a man with less than 1k subs
Thanks Conor 😭🤙 much appreciated
Shit I didn't even notice. RUclips recommendations are going for some unknown channels these days, I like it.
I’ve been playing guitar for 3 months now and I don’t give it’s crazy seeing u improve bro my dream is to become a famous artist in the future keep working hard on those guitar skills bro!!

Cheers Nate! Still going 😤🤙
Way to go, Homer! Good job! Thanks for sharing, and good luck with your continuing efforts!

I'm using Yousician for 9 months now, and it's important that you make your own practicing schedule.
Explore the app as much as you can, and keep in mind that speed is useless, u don't need to be fast to play better. My tip is: if you're not able to play some songs from the app in it's original speed, just slow down the tempo in the own app and select the option to raise the speed gradually.
Also keep in mind that: yes, you suck, but stop trying not to, isn't going to make u don't (i don't know if was clear), but just keep practicing.
Like... 10 minutes minimum for day should make a difference.
Cheers Paulo!!! Great advice! I’ve got a bunch of new vids showing my steady progress, definitely embracing the suck 😂 keep it up friend!
i completed 6 th level and then life happened. didn't pick up the guitar for years. But came back and started with new account to see if my muscle memory is somehow intact or not. It surprised me that i was sailing through each task with mostly perfect note hitting. I am currently at level 4 because I am not subscribed and it does not give much time to work with. But yeh I can feel that i am having it easy now than i did years ago. Trust me yousician does help alot. I will eventually get a teacher to amend my mistake and fill up my knowledge gap but i will already be at a higher level dexterity with my fingers and will be able to absorb all the knowledge the teacher will throw at me.

you improved greatly in just 30 days! keep playing and you will be great in a few months!
Thanks Mr Awesome!
Tips I can give newbies:
1. Practice with a metronome, you'll improve your timing, it's probably the most important tip, you can get an app on your phone
2. Electric guitarists, get a headphone amp. It makes picking up and playing so much easier. And then you can play at any hour of day without bugging the neighbors.
3. Learn as much theory as you can, but when you learn the theory, connect it back to your playing.
4. Barre chords seem impossible until they aren't. Keep at it, your grip strength will improve and one day it'll be so easy you'll forget you ever even struggled.
I love your energy! It comes with practice but my advice would be to attempt songs you really love when you get more comfortable, there's not a feeling in the world like the one you get when jamming to your favorite songs even if its just a few chords ^_^ You'll get there for sure, you did very well for your first month
Cheers Riley!!! I’ve started doing that in some other videos and I’m having a great time

I learned more about playing guitar by learning songs. Every time I learned a new one it gave me even more confidence and made me more interested in learning more about the guitar. That was 11 years ago. I’m no expert but I’m to the point where I could go to a guitar store and play without being embarrassed 😂🤣. No bit in all seriousness I’m glad I learned how to play the guitar.

He's really having fun playing the guitar !! I am glad. When you're learning an art you should enjoy it
You know, I hadn't been rookie before I started my year guitar training. I knew chords, I could play them easly and with taste cuz I was taking lessons for some years, but actually I learned real playing in about a year ( mean I didn't stop taking lessons after I learned chords cuz I liked my teacher and it's important to consodilate skills). This year guitar training that I mentioned is fingerstyle training. This is much harder and diffrent style of playing, something like you did at the end of the video but with Bass slaps, hitting by wrist, harmonics in the same time. I was a lil overhelmet beginner, cuz I took some lessons too, but it wasn't as successful as it was by training alone for the year. I started from easy songs with only one note and bass string written on guitar tabs. Then I learned slaps. Then slaps and pulling strings in the same time, which was very hard to learn. I didn't finish after that. Then I learned how to do hits by wrist. The hardest thing I was trying to learn was hittting by wirst and playing in the same time. At the beginning I had a big pain cuz of hitting, even red area close to the arteries. But I actually did it. Next thing I tried to learn was clear harmonics. Wasn't hard after what I've been trough but not so easy to do it fastly cuz I had to change position of the neck from 1st fret to 13 fret e.g. I'm not gonna continue what I have learnt cuz I think noone wants to read it but I want to say something. I have been learning fingertyle since June 2019 and I'm not gonna stop. There's always someone who is better than you, but your purpose should be to get his lvl and surpass him. Just find your motivation ( mine are Andrew Foy and Eddie van der Meer). And don't stop, cuz every person who tell you "stop" is weak and never will get what you try. You know why? Cuz you are not weak. The purpose of this comment is to tell you guys that you should never stop following your dreams. I just make my become true.
You should give a try to Luca stricangoli and sungha Jung, they were my inspiration
@@feribra1753 yee, Sunga is fabulous :D

Kayla Tariro Majuru thanks a lot! I appreciate the compliment :)
wow that´s actually super cool to see. You consistency paying off. And doing chords at 17 days! That honestly surprised me, kinda motivated me to practice more myself, seeing how consistency pays off. Great video man.
This is very inspiring. It makes me want to subscribe to Yousician and buy a guitar! You sounded great!
What this apps don't teach you:
1. Put the guitar (if it'slassical) in your left leg.
2. Guitar neck needs to be diagonally to your body.
3. Don't rise your left hand's thumb, keep it until the middle of the neck.
Thanks Rodrigo 🤙
@@dan.prosser if you need anything, just let me know.
Diagonal position is to avoid to twist and force your wrist. Could end in a bad tendinitis.
Depends on your style. As someone who got trained in classical and switched to modern I had to readjust some principles which were ingrained very deeply in my mind
Keep going dude, it takes months if not years to get to where you can play a single song. It's so much more difficult than people think.
Cheers Slathe! So true, still having a great time with it, learning Waltzing Matilda 😁🤙
Can confirm. I’ve been practicing for five months and can only play two songs with a 1-2 difficulty on songsterr😂
I got the premium a few weeks ago, I’ve been grinding the lead stuff and I’ve def gotten better. That said I looked up how to finger pick, so use that method for my picking. I learned a few things at the start of quarantine, learned parts of some songs but never really got anywhere. I’m at the part now where you learn slides, it’s pretty hard but it’s a lot like guitar hero. Just grind that shit out till you can do it lol. Once it starts getting more complicated you can’t really afford to look at the guitar, and that’s kinda where I’m at rn. Working towards just kinda knowing where my hands are without looking. Gonna start learning some songs outside the app as well. That way I’m not some dude with guitar skills, and nothing to show for it lol. I probably on average put about 10-25 hours per week.
Awesome, cheers Nolan! 😳🤙 great time hear how you’re going, those trusty quarantine skills 😂😭 it’s a lot of fun, I’ll be keeping it up too, good luck 🤙
This man has the positive energy i seek in my own life, i just hope you are happy bro
It’s thanks to people like you in the world, my friend 😭🤙 Much appreciated, you too!
Me and another couple of girlfriends wanted to learn guitar in music at first year high school, we were handed our instruments, shown to a room and left to our own devices for the rest of the term. When the teacher sat down to asses our progress, suffice to say he was strangely bewildered, and promptly insisted we tried the flute. The flute teacher was much more competent, to say the least, and i did ok for a few years, while never finding a passion for it.
40 years later, and thanks to youtube, i am finally getting some of it down, and even loving some of it.
I don’t know about that app, but i did pick up bits and pieces over the years after starting to play around with a bass so maybe i didn’t need start right ar an absolute beginner level, but many of the youtube videos have been incredibly helpful, including this one, although perhaps more on the level of attitude.
Good luck and have fun.
Cheers D R! Thanks for sharing, great story! I filmed this a while back and have added a whole bunch of other resources and am really happy with how far I’ve come 😁

Old guitars can still be great! Just make sure to tune every time you play or consider changing the strings/repairing some stuff at the head :) it’s much cheaper than a new guitar

I'm complete beginner. I have finished my second week on Yousician and I'm now level 5. It's great in terms of learning the fretboard and theory. However, I can't memorize any songs and I can't improvise. I hope that I'll learn doing that too. This app isn't enough for learning the guitar completely, however it might help a lot for playing along with other people with the tabs opened somewhere. Anyway, try to practice at least 30 mins a day and make a faster progress, it's so much fun!
Hey Enes! I agree, I reckon it’s a great introduction to guitar, but maybe not the full package. For a free app though, I am amazed by the value, it’s a fun way to spend some time each day :) Thanks for your thoughts 🤙
Play the song you eant to play over and over again, you will (with time) be able to play it with out needing anything ti help you but the guitar and maybe the pick
I randomly found this guy and now have decided I'd like to learn more about him and his journey. Great video you did an amazing job
Wow YanoNick, that’s awesome, I really appreciate it 🥺🤙 Thanks a lot.
The best advice I was given when it comes to learning guitar, is ‘Buying a cheap guitar, and Just play for 5 minutes every day. The only way you’ll become great at guitar is to fall in love with it.” And I still consider my self a noob at guitar, and I’ve been playing for 8 months now. My own advice is to find a song that you like and is easy, not Mary had a little lamb, and master it. Because if you love that song, you’ll feel guilty if you forget it so you’ll keep playing. The first song I learned on guitar was Leaves from the Vine from Avatar.
dude, thanks for your honest videos, it's really motivating for me. Being consistent, not taking yourself too seriously and having a good time is the best you can do to cherish this journey. After trying Yousician for a week, I've switched to the Guitar Learning Game app on my iphone, and found that it offers songs more to my taste and has a tad bit better audio detection.
Hope to see new videos of you playing guitar!
Thanks mate!!

When I started learning guitar 23 years ago i was a student. I had no internet, no tuners, no tutorials, no teacher. In addition to a strong desire, I only had my friend's old broken Soviet 7-string guitar (AKA the firewood log with finger-cutting strings), that I fixed and converted into a 6-string. My friend wrote me some chords that he still remembered. I bought new cheap nylon strings (1/3 of my monthly salary), of course they didn't stay in tune for more than a couple of days for the first six months. I'd strummed some good guitars in the music store and found out that my voice resonated with d-strings, so I got a kind of "tuning fork". The beginning was difficult AF. My fingers hurt AF, my roommates were mad at me.
But I felt Happy.
And now when I watch this video, I remember those feelings.
Fun to watch, honestly done. Don’t quit your day job, it’s a fun hobby
😂😂 cheers
I'm doing the exact same thing and after watching this i feel like launching my guitar out the window.

i think you learn quite fast. took me a while to play faster and accurately. 💜
Sylvester Kim wow thanks Sylvester! I actually got so frustrated trying to learn the F chord today that I stopped playing 😅😂 your encouragement will get me through the next lesson 🤙
It takes a couple weeks. You have to just keep trying. I set aside the first minutes of practice when my fingers were least fatigued to do it. Also learn B chords at the same time.
1. Keep adjusting barre finger to find a position which works for all the chords (F, Fm, F7, B, Bm)
2. Make sure you can ring out each string with enough pressue on barre, that's how I knew position of barre was good.
3. Use right arm to pull guitar back to create more pressure on barre strings.
4. Take a break from practising barres, fingers might get stronger.
I love the passion. Im excited for you and your progress. Yousician is cool and all. And So it fret zealot if you haven't heard of it. But the problem is that music and whatever instrument you play is all practice. And by practice i mean, "muscle memory. "
I recently started playing guitar again after 6 years.
13 years ago i played violin for 2years in middleschool and was screamed at by my instructor because i was moving faster than the rest of the class...
Told the instructor she was trash for crippling my progress. And quit orchestra. My parents were renting the violin and returned it.
I started playing the violin because the same instructor told me after a year i could play my Squier electric guitar my father got me. I learned songs with tabs on the guitar. But could read sheet music and notes for violin but guitar always evaded me when it came to sheet music. I put music down for 10 years. And picked it back up about 2 months ago. Yousician will cripple you.
Its like playing a piano with lighted keys for the song you are learning.
And then trying to play a piano without lighted keys...
Its laziness trying to find a short cut to become the best. It doesnt happen overnight. It is all muscle memory. Learning the chords. The notes. Acquiring an acute ear for every fret. Every string. Every note. Every chord. Every sound each string makes picking it. Plucking it. Using your nails. Up or down. Closer to the bridge. Further away. Palm muting...
But mainly practice. Muscle memory. Ive tried the programs. The memberships. The guaranteed ways that the youtube ads assure success. Its all crap. Its all a sham. Some prick stealing your money. It might work. But the progress is slow and you become dependent on the algorithm of the program. Question that algorithm. Be skeptical. Find your oqn and do the same. Practice. Dont get frustrated and quit. Keep playing. Dont cripple your self. You got will and potential. So pick your guitar up right now and play it.
