      Just so you know, this clown thinks that guitar “skill” lives in impressive sounding stupid hammer ons, pull offs, harmonics, tapping, playing the guitar like a drum, and other snazzy looking bullshit that clouds the fact that real skill lives in songwriting, the right hand, feel, and being able to actively noodle with chords and scales (used appropriately) to make the guitar talk and tell a story. I’m sick of guitar you tubers who think they are so god tier at guitar because they know how to play some fucking radio songs with their $4000 guitar and of course every one in the comments just bows down at their knees and says “oh my god that was amazing😭” or “i officially give up playing guitar”.

    Take heart guys and gals if you're scratching your head at this guys development and thinking about chucking it in. I've been playing guitar since I was 13 and am now 60 and I want you to know that this young man learned at an extremely accelerated pace. (I am VERY impressed!) Most new students will take at least a year to attain the abilities he shows by around 30 hours. Some people in fact take much longer, depending on how motivated they are and some folks never progress beyond that point which is perfectly fine if you are content being able to sing along to your own basic though perfectly competent guitar skills. If you do want to continue to advance there is plenty of information online to help you do just that but be patient and understand that we all progress at our own speed and we all have different things to say on the instrument. It's not a race it's a means of expression and a wonderful hobby if you decide to stay with it. Have fun!

      I’m one of the people who never progressed, although I’ve had my guitar since before yr 2011. Lol it’s cos I would go months without playing. And when I’d finally pick up my guitar, my fingers would start hurting again and I’d feel frustrated and stop all over again. Plus my left pinky is weird. It always locks at 90 degrees, like a hook, and it makes a popping sound when it unlocks. Clearly this brings me more frustration as I can’t change chords or fingerpick without my pinky locking. Grr

      That would still be VERY shocking given my experience. Not trying to say it would be impossible, but in the few hundred students I've taught over the last decade I've never seen someones muscle memory in regards to jumping directly to a chord with all three/four fingers develop in that short of a time. For the first 1-100 practice hours (over 3-5 months), generally speaking, your fingers still work individually and not as an entire unit. As muscle memory develops, your fingers all start to move together in a single grouped motion to match the shape of the chord rather than find their way to specific, individual frets. Again, it's not like I know whether or not it's impossible for someone to manage that in such a short time; I only have my own experience to go by. But I've never seen anyone even come close from absolute no experience to 30-hours practice resulting in adequate chord transitions, and I have had students who practiced 2-3 hours constantly at the start who are incredible today. So I fully understand why people would find it a bit unbelievable.
      Still, fun video and fun progress time lapse. Nothing wrong with that.

    This is amazing to see and you have become an unbelievably great guitar player over the past 7 years!
    For myself, I've wanted to pick up the guitar ever since I was 14 but every time I tried I got unmotivated from the lack of skill, impatience, and finger pain. However, last summer I tried a ukulele at a friend's summer house, learned a simple song with barely any struggle (ofc it didn't sound good but I had a lot of fun with it), and I bought myself a ukulele the moment I got home. Recently I tried to play guitar in our school's music classroom and picked up 5 basic chords right away. It was a lot more fun thanks to my experience with the ukulele which had helped me develop the skills to change chords, apply strumming patterns, and feel no finger pain. This video was a huge motivational push and although I love my ukulele, I can't wait to expand to the guitar as soon as possible and start learning that more as well!

    I relate to him so much! I got my classic guitar at grade 5 and got private lesson for about two years but stopped. I started again with classic guitar at grade 9 for a year but stopped again. Later in beginning of grade 12 I started again with acoustic guitar and learned really fast from practicing every night for almost 2 hrs (with a lot of blisters and blood :( ). Currently I am almost done with first semester of grade 12 and I can master almost every middle level guitar music piece in maximum of 2 weeks or less (hard work pays off). I have been stressing so much with SAT and college application but guitar helped me get through those stress and anxieties! Playing guitar just makes me happy and makes me feel proud of myself!

    To all those wondering how he improved so quickly, concerted and focused practice is not the same as simply playing. 7000 hours of focused practice you'll have this skill. If 10,000 hours of focused practice is what it takes to master something, then 7,000 hours is close to mastery.
    How to practice:
    1. Keep track of your mistakes and weaknesses
    2. Select a mistake or weakness you'd like to improve
    3. Set a timer for a reasonable duration (30 minutes for example) where you can stay focused for the entire duration.
    4. RUclips some exercises of how to improve this weakness, or make your own
    5. For 30 minutes (or the time you selected) play these exercises deliberately perfectly (meaning play so slowly that you do NOT make a mistake. If you make a mistake, start the exercise over and slow down so that you execute without a mistake)
    6. Take a short break
    7. Repeat at step 2 for another 30 minutes
    7000 hours of that and you'll be at his skill level, guaranteed. "Playing" is not practice. Practice is practice. Now go practice.

      Very good point, and that's what I like to call deliberate practice. Don't just keep doing the same thing over and over, find out what you are doing wrong and make adjustments and focus on that ONE area. You can go out and mindlessly put in the effort and bust your ass at something, but if you are not practicing with focused attention to detail with a specific goal of improving your performance, then you are just wasting all your time and energy for nothing. Like you said, research, deliberate practice, and amount of hours is the key to mastering something. I wish someone told me this concept at a early age.

    Stage 3: power chords and putting the power chords together with the four chords
    Stage 4: the rest of the open chords like A, E, Am, and Dm
    Stage 5: learning the CAGED system and how to switch between all the major and minor chord shapes.
    And that's basically how you get to be a rhythm guitar player.

    For EVERYBODY saying 30hours is a short amount of time to have learnt something like this, keep in mind its total hours. It does not mean he sat for a day practicing, rather he practiced and “perfected” easy concepts Through likely 2-3h a day of practice, for what i estímate is two weeks. Its not the same playing 30h straight in one sitting rather than practicing for two weeks now is it?

      Why? Because of the ammount of hours it took? If you play video games and check how many total hours you've sunk into them, then you'll understand that it really isn't that many hours. More so, playing guitar requires a lot more set of skills than playing video games. I love video games dont get me wrong but i'd rather be doing something that can improve myself and that I can perform to wider spectrum of audience.

I barely managed to make it through the first section, and I can only play it for five seconds before getting tendonitis in my left forearm from its demanding technique.

      That's not a skill you reach in 30 hours. He obviously is a returning guitar player. But there are indeed some roadblocks which need to be surpassed. Some get over them slower and others faster. Even if you have short fingers, or fat fingers or whatever. You'll get over them if you practice enough. After that I can guarantee that you'll start to see noticeable improvements and enjoy playing even more. You DO NOT waste money and you DO NOT need to find another hobby if you love playing. WTF is wrong with you people throwing shit like that? Do you even know what a hobby is? You don't need to be Francisco Tarrega or Andres Segovia to enjoy playing the guitar. You don't need to prove anyone that you're better than them. It's about being you with the music you like.
