I agree that barre chords are pretty darn easy, but I’ve been playing for 20 yrs. for some reason though, countless beginners in all the FB groups I’m in are constantly griping about them, looking for workarounds and such. I also agree that they’re much more challenging on acoustic vs electric. That’s just the nature of the beast ;)
+5carecrow94 Just tried drop d for the first time today. Never went out of standard tuning much, but drop d's awesome. Pretty much anything you do is a power chord, it's stupid fun, emphasis on the stupid part
Ze'ev Yehuda I use Drop C# a lot for metal, because you can still do actual chords on the upper strings. Plus it makes tapping easier with looser strings. But I've been playing guitar for long enough to see that drop tunings are not the end-all, be-all for heavier styles. C Standard is a ton of fun, too.
Just Some Gamer - Gaming And Stuff Yeah much better, but in the early years Songsterr took the tabs mainly from ultimate guitar. And you could only access it from a PC. You had to pay to get full songs on phone. It was so stupid, now It’s the same on both platforms.
xApachi like me xddd.... i mainly play drums but i also want to learn guitar so i started taking lessons with my dads old king V but im not very good yet lol
@@Scorcher19 Big oof- Not good when beginners are cocky. You should have self-confidence, but don't take it too far. Speaking of bass, I just got one two weeks ago. Unfortunately, I don't have too much time to play because of schoolwork.
When I was a beginner I thought that I was good coz I could do natural harmonics. And I just used to go up to better guitarists and be like "u think ur so good but can u do harmonics?" And they'd be like "pinch harmonics? Natural harmonics? Tapped harmonics? What?" And I'd respond with "the ones at the 7th and 12th fret." And they'd cone back with "they're called natural harmonics and you can play them at any fret. They're just louder at the 4th 5th 7th 9th and 12th frets." I used to think I could just make up chords and pentatonic scales and genuinely believed I was good at guitar.
The character he's playing is actually way cooler than some of the beginner guitarists I've encountered. Atleast he has a positive non-elitist outlook on it haha.
LOL, that reminds me. I ran into a kid at guitar center the other day that complimented me on my playing and my guitar then felt the need to impress me so he made up some lie about being endorsed (by schecter lmao) and that he was asked to perform a clinic. So for shits and giggles I asked him where this clinic was and he said California. How descriptive! lmao. I can't stand compulsive liars and tryhards. It made for a good laugh though. He left without picking up a guitar and came back 30 min later I guess hoping I wasn't there anymore. He picked up an epiphone and plugged into an amp and didn't even turn it up.. as if embarrassed, and started trying to play stairway to heaven :,D
Amir hazmie No he doesn't. For certain songs, yes. But he doesn't just downpick. Beginners can only do downstrokes because they can't alternate pick, that's why he put it in the video. Also, I'm not your pal, guy.
James Hetfields downpicking makes his music heavier, although he can alternate pick his ass off, too. Downpicking at the speed of light is James' signature thing.
Hann Pungartnik Just very recently I started sweeping at Origin speeds!I started with The Aftermath, still needs a little more work but I'm getting there.This too just requires practice!
Yeahh I've never tried to learn at all lol there's no way my fingers could move that fast, if you're looking for insane sweep riffs man listen to rings of saturn straight out they use sweeps in their normal riffs lol like it ain't special
Apologen it's less the sheet music but more getting to know the mechanics of scales, keys, and chords. Some people don't need it but it can be a huge help to others.
yeah I know this guy who specializes in metal, typical "people who cant play metal are pussies" and "if it aint metal its weak as fuck" kind of guy, real prick
+xX_Gabe_Xx being a pretty dedicated metalhead myself, I can tell you it's not good to limit your abilities as a guitarist to just one genre. That being said, the only guitar I have has such heavy strings I can't actually play anything in standard tuning, unless I want to break my bridge. Dilemma!
SYLFan2008 I use 12-54's right now, so I'm in drop Bb (for In Flames). I play drop C a lot, too. Occasionally I go down to A. I have a floating bridge so it gets screwed up when i put too much tension on it.
Kandi Klover Dude it's a reality TV show. In real life do you really think Rumble Johnson or Cain Velasquez walk around acting like tough guys picking fights just to prove something?
Just keep at it - even if you can only put 20 or 30 minutes in a day, just try and practice every day. While there are many good videos online, sometimes having a guitar teacher is great for keeping you focused and also being able to fine tune your practices based on your strengths and weaknesses. Nobody picked up a guitar and was instantly good - but I believe just about anyone can become good. It's a lifelong passion - and I truly think the more people who play music - the better.
Laugh all you want guys, because we all know that this was true for every one of us, even if only for a very small period of time. I bought my first guitar based on looks alone. It was a B.C. Rich Mockingbird. Knew less than nothing about the guitar as an instrument, or else I'd have bought an Ibanez or Charvel for the same price instead. My amp is a shitty Acoustic solid state 10 watt combo with an 8 inch speaker. The thing cant even handle a note lower than C#. Ever since I figured out what they were, i wanted a set EMG 81/85s and a BOSS Metal Zone. Thank god I never followed through. I scooped the mids to oblivion and turned the treble and bass up to 11. Cranked the gain up as high as it could go. Thought I sounded amazing. I had no idea. Tube amps had too many settings for me, was too afraid to try them out. First time I ever plugged into one, i had it on standby and thought it wasnt plugged in to the cab correctly. Spent most of my days learning easy Metallica and Black Sabbath riffs, usually playing them in the wrong tunings (Sad But True in E Standard anybody?). Once even tried to write an original riff with a buddy of mine. It was a total pile of shit, loaded with mindless chugging and random pick scrapes. Fast forward to now, almost a year later. I still have that B.C. Rich Mockingbird and that Acoustic amp. Gotten better through practice, but its been hard with school and college shit etc. I can just barely gallop, and my alternate picking is pitiful. Been practicing it as often as possible to build up my right/left hand coordination, but it is really hard, especially after almost a year of almost exclusively downpicking. Looking forward, I hope to sell the B.C. Rich and solid state in favor of some sort of mid-range guitar, likely an Ibanez RG or something similar, and either an Orange Micro Dark Terror or BIAS FX by Positive Grid for my laptop. Guitar is a learning experience for me. Every day, theres something new to be learned, something to be practiced. I don't plan on stopping anytime soon.
machinimamarlon For some reason, it's really difficult for me to sync my right and left hands when I alternate pick. I can play slower stuff just fine, but when it comes to playing bands like Lamb of God or Megadeth, its too fast and my left hand gets held up somewhere along the way
Jake McB I'm pretty sure everyone has that problem. I think what makes them get past it is just how you deal with it. What I did was start from square one. I kept playing the chromatic scale while alternating. First I was focused on just doing it. Then after a while it became "how fast can I do it?" Also, something a lot of people tend to overlook (including myself) is the way you hold the pick. When you alternate, you wanna kind of tilt your pick so it cuts through the string. I didn't notice how much this helped until a friend of mine pointed it out.
machinimamarlon Yeah i found that angling tip on a Ben Eller video about sweep picking. It really does help a ton. I just need to learn/run some modes and scales to practice, like you said. Been doing that 1234 run on each string, then switching it to 1243 after a while
+TheZooropaBaby One time I stayed up all night listening to Bleach and at like 6am I decided to play some guitar. I wrote a riff that I thought was really cool. The next day I pick up my guitar and play and I realised I had just been playing the intro to School.
Ice9922 Why do I hear about so many beginners spending money on electrics? I learned on a thirty dollar acoustic that had been rotting in a closet for years. Don't dump money into something unless you're sure you're gonna love it
K Ktown lol I've been playing for 2 years... only ever owned a $10 acoustic I learned on and play at a jazz band with a sold bodied squier strat (with a pedal just to emulate the tone)... still too broke to buy a decent semi-hollow :(
My desire to learn to play comes from 2 things. 1) the feeling of doing something that is essentially the core of most modern day music is something I can only imagine. But I feel its best summed up in one feeling. Ecstasy... 2) Witnessing the looks on people's face when they look on in awe. Watching people I know playing guitar live and being good at it puts a smile on my face a mile long. I'd love to be able to give someone who I know that sensation and sense of awe.
oravlaful literally, watch Rob Chapman, watch his challenges and gear vids, and then just google what he says that you dont know, I'm really good at specs and gear just by watching him
yeah this vid was meant to be funny of course.. i think they were more making fun of beginners who not just are ignorant but also have big egos (which lets face it, there are a lot lol). i've always preferred to assume i know hardly anything about guitar.. that way i can push myself to always get better. people who assume they are the shit tend to make less interesting music i've found. (with some exceptions of course.. if you can back it up 100% then you can claim whatever you want; but i don't like dickish attitudes like that tbh)
I think I'm the opposite: Played 6 years and can't say I'm a good player. I know a ton about gear though, I've found modifiyng guitars and amps and pedals to be almost as much fun as actual playing...
Wanna hear a funny thing? I didn't start playing guitar for me. I started playing for others. Everyone had a talent at my school. I can draw decently, I can sing decently, but it seemed everyone else could do it better. So in order to one up the one uppers, I joined band. After a year or so, flute wasn't really cutting it for me (although I still play today. You can never give up an instrument completely) because who could impress someone with a flute? I wanted to master a common instrument, and since I was so into indie rock at the time, I picked up guitar. I expected that I was going to probably quit, but in my guitar class, I was excelling. Very quickly I should add. Something that was unlikely for me, because I usually don't do better than others. I ended up being separated from my group a quarter of the way through my semester class and started learning some new stuff. Not the boring old chords the other kids were struggling with. I was taught licks, scales, and hell! The first song I ever learned was Enter Sandman, after I strengthened my fingers up a bit and got down my scales. Guitar became more about me, rather than my peers. I started to play for me. And although it feels fucking amazing to shred an awesome guitar solo, it feels even better to know that I did this. I practiced and slaved over a song for a good month and shredded it down to every note, just for myself. Playing guitar is amazing. And with playing guitar, you started to define your music identity. Two years ago, it'd be only Manchester Orchestra, the indie stuff. But guitar opened me up to a lot of old rock, the only thing I'll listen to now, really. White snake, GNR, Motörhead. A lot more comes from playing guitar, rather than actually PLAYING guitar. (I know, this is long. And please do not get discouraged about how I said I got separated. Every musician starts somewhere. Be proud of where you are in your experience.)
I picked up guitar but then someone called me bad because they are cocky douches do I learned how to unicycle instead my story isn't at intriguing as yours
Alyssa Hyslop I was 8 when I got my first guitar. I got super into Michael Jackson right after he died. And I found out that of all the people in the world, Eddie Van Halen played the solo for Beat It. I asked for it for my birthday, and got a black and white guitar from some company in NY called Brownsville. I was enrolled in lessons, but I was told my hands were too small. So my dumbass shelved it away for about 6 long years. After middle school, I started listening to bands like A7X, MCR, Manic Street Preachers, the Cribs, and people like Hendrix, SRV, and John Mayer. And decided to learn again. Best decision I've made in my young life, because I don't know what I would rather do. But the thing that annoys me is that being Mexican-American and playing guitar is the absolute worst. Everyone calls me Elvis because of my hair and they call me Ritchie Valens because I'm hispanic and they've all seen or heard La Bamba. I don't really have a problem with that, but they expect me to know every single song by them, and it pisses me off. Because I'm (still) learning to become my own player, not to be a copycat. I'm about to turn 16 and I don't plan on stopping, my guitars are my many mistresses. I love all 5 of them.
Wild Cat Well I won't lie, I like it too, but I learned it for my uncle's bday. I also forgot to mention that the very first song I learned how to play was sleepwalk. The song at the end when Bob yells "RITCHIE!" and I never knew until I saw the movie. That's were everyone calling me Ritchie all started.
I were never been interested to learn guitar like, to play Van Halen or anything more than just fooling around, but in my Music class the opportunity to play the bass in a prom performance (Between half and half of the diploma ceremony) and got interested in the instrument. Not because of the song, that was a piece of shit generic pop love song, but I just got into the bass guitar. Flash forward to June 4th. I go to Madrid (I'm from Tenerife) for the GNR concert and the performance that Duff Mckagan gave just seemed to inadvertedly flip a switch in my brain: I wanted to play bass. The performance thing happened, but I guess the bass was considered not necessary (Though they got a backup singer at the last minute who couldn't harmonize for shit) and it was discarded. Still, my interest in it was high and at the very end of July I got my bass, a Squier Affinity J Bass. Now, at nearly 16 years old, I've learned so much in these couple months mostly from playing Cliff Burton stuff (Not quite polished anything yet, but I've still improved a great deal for not having any teachers but me) and it's such a fun instrument to play. Just wish I had more time to sit down and play.
when i was a beginner i liked Bc rich so much for their cool design but in the end i bought a Razorback Dean now i just want to buy a simple looking ibanez :P being a kid was nice
I mean it's okay, you can get a general sense of how it's played, the more you play around with it. You can make the changes necessary. Luckily people can make revisions.
when you played smoke on the water, i fucking died, it was the first song i learded to play, but i didn't even learn it right, i played it on one string lol.
FusedPower There was this kid at the college I go to that told me B.C rich guitars and metal zone sound awesome and I just wanted to smash my face into the wall because he was being completely serious.
***** B.C Rich Warbeast ✓ Line 6 Spider amp ✓ Metal zone pedal ✓ Certified "I only play power chords and chug, hurr, Fuckin' Slayer" guitarist comfirmed ✓
they look cool but they sound pretty fuckin bad xD i still have mine i cant really part with it because it has a bad ass paint job. luckily the guy who painted it didn't know how much it usually costs to get it painted so he only charged me 100 bucks.
I’ve been playing guitar for about two years now. The first song I ever stuck with on electric guitar was Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) by Marilyn Manson and the first every song I tried to play (on my dad’s acoustic) was Wonderwall. I never played Smoke On The Water once as a beginner 😂
no worries he plays djent so he works hard to play badly on a regular basis... (IM KIDDING people calm down). Seriously if you watch him just wail on the guitar he's stunningly good
Forgot: 1 - I want to djent brah 2 - What's a Tuner? 3 - what's a "bar" chord? 4 - What's a Tuner? 5 - check this djent 6 - What's a Tuner? 7 - Learn music? pfffff. I learn by ear. 8 - What's a Tuner? 9 - My dad gave me a pedal for my birthday. It's says "tuner" on it. It's a piece of shit, like, it doesn't make me play metal pffffff. 10 - My mom just gave me this guitar. Gonna play live next weekend. Wanna come? 11 - Boss is dah best 12 - Line 6 brah,... Line 6 is dah best 13 - I play to forget my problems 14 - I wanna create a new style of music. Like, totally different. like, djent. 15 - What's a Tuner? 16 - favorite guitarist? Pfff totally the dude from Djent. 17 - What's a Tuner?
david laranjeira hahaha, but learning by ear is actually pretty healthy for writing music, solo's, and learning music that isn't popular and doesn't have tab.
Dog Jr Yes and I agree. I learned the "street" way. Peeps would gather and share what they knew at the time. Only the more complex and theoretical stuff I had to learn at a music academy.
Cashew Walnut same, now im just forced to perform in a school event and play songs i dont like and i dont have a say in it cuz im an awkward person and dont wanna get hate
Him knowing the names of the chords already made him a better beginner than me. I taught myself by ear and didnt even know the names of the chords I was playing until I had already been playing for like 2 years lol
HEY to the people who can't read sheet music. It's a slow way to learn, but here's my advice if you want to take it. I'm currently learning how to play guitar, but I have already learned how to play the flute (my experience is from 5th grade to senior year hs). Once you learn the note acronyms and note placement on the staff - CONGRATS!!! you know how to read music! What's hard for you is sight reading quickly, which does take practice. I lettered (putting the letters of the notes above the notes on the staff) my sheet music until early high school before I realized I could automatically know which note was which on the staff. It's like muscle memory, but it does require some kind of practice.
dimytar georgiev I think it's only pathetic if you think/act like you're a lot better than you are. There's nothing wrong with not knowing about intonation, action, what strings are best, or whatever as a beginner but showing off your sweet sweep picking should be embarrassing if it's awful as it was in the video. And if you could play the simple things like Smoke on the Water or Iron Man as cleanly as he did in the video then you're probably on the right track. Just know that as a beginner, you really don't know jack (this applies to a lot of things in life). Hell I've been playing for 12 years and I've still got a long way to go before I'm satisfied with my abilities.
***** Wait, what? I think you replied to the wrong person, Christian Velazquez is the one who doesn't understand the video. I'm going to assume you just made a mistake.
I understood the video, but I think this is insulting, or at least, it has the wrong title, JimmyJimmy, you don't get my point, or you just want to be an idiot, anyway, I got my point, and it's my opinion, if you don't like it, it's not my problem
Honestly.. I don't even remember why I started playing guitar. I just remember that around the same time my sisters started playing violin my mom decided to buy herself and I each acoustic guitars. At first I didn't like it cause it was extremely frustrating, it still is, but as I got older I started practicing more and now I absolutely love my guitars. There'll be times when I'm sitting in school wishing I could be at home practicing. I've attempted to write songs but it never really got past the chord progressions. And I swear, lyrics will be the death of me..
austin cochrane stay with it man an see if u can take ur guitar to school i used to play my acoustic almost everyday in like 2 or 3 classes....also how i met my girlfriend of 8 years now anyways cheers man!🤘
austin cochrane hey I feel you man 😅 I play piano and guitar, attempting to write songs but .... I either have just chords or just lyrics ... can't put them together 😐
Menetekel writing songs is really hard work. Though I've read that the whole process is a little easier if you already have lyrics because then you can take the tone of the lyrics and try and match the chords i.e. Dark/sad song, use minor chords with a slower tempo. Happier song, use a major chords and a faster, more up beat tempo. Then there's Bullet by Hollywood Undead, the happiest song about suicide you'll ever find.
austin cochrane yea that's what I read to ... I'm trying and sometimes it works but I mostly change a lot (...oh that line would go with that chord but then the next one has to be a different one as well.... you know 😅) I guess it will just come with time ... and I know the song and really like it (showed it to a friend the other day, who doesn't speak English and he was like "wow you are listening to something positive for once ?" XD
Making lyrics is easy. I can spew out lyrics left and right and make em fit correctly. All you gotta do is write about something you did or experienced and describe it within the song. Use analogies, similes, and metaphors in your lyrics to make it sound deep. However when it comes to riffs, I need a bit more time for that. We're all good in our own ways
what's wrong with ultimateguitar? I've been playing for 11 years and i still use it. i know it's not always the best but it's like mcdonalds. you go there when you're out of options. songsterr i use half the time. what else do people use?
I've played piano for years upon years and learn all my songs there by ear, but learning guitar I still use tabs - in many cases they're just more convenient. Never understood why people said it was bad to do
To the people who feel bad about the things he's saying because they personify some of them: don't. I'm pretty certain he's speaking in jest. A lot of "professionals" still do silly things, and even the most seasoned of players have difficulties with certain techniques and such. Don't ever feel bad about your abilities. Be proud that you've taken the time to learn something like a guitar, a pastime that requires a lot of time and effort.
Andrew Reyes Sometimes they give you the wrong tabs & chords and if you don't have a trained ear and can't play up to speed, you won't be able to pick it up...
I never really learned how to read sheet music actually (which is not good when your in a school band or something where they just put down music in front of you and expect you to sight read it on the spot) but literally not knowing how to read sheet music has NEVER, and I mean never, caused me any problem whatsoever in continuing quest to learn as many instruments as possible before I die. My ear for music is really good so I learn music by playing the song once or twice, listening to the parts, and then using that to work out how all the parts go and I guarantee you I can play the song about 5 times better then a person who is reading it off sheet music if you just let me listen to the song once beforehand. Its really completely up to how the person learns best.
***** lol yeah if your gonna call someone out make sure they can't back up their claim first. Give me any fucking song and Ill play it for you live on StreetJelly with my webcam. I don't say things like that to jack myself off man, I've been playing music my entire life
it is good to be confident, but it is not good for you and your musical process to have a crush on yourself. And you don't play anything 5 times better than anyone.
JoolsGuitar I agree with you, it's never good to basically think you're better than other people. It makes the person look like an arrogant ass. And also "quest to learn as many instruments as possible before I die." Learning a ton of instruments just for the sake of having played them and probably being utter shit at a majority of them, does not a good musician make. The ultimate thing for a musician would be to only focus on one instrument and become disgustingly good at that, but I can't really say that because that would make me a horrible hypocrite. Cheers :)
3:18 I can't make fun of this one because I was that guy when I started. My first real guitar, not counting the cheap one I started with, had 24 frets and a floyd rose. I still play that guitar.

Whata wrong with f
@@n0isr682 F barre chord is very frequently used in popular songs that many people want to play, but it's hard for beginners to play this chord.
And after conquering F chord, you realised that F chord requires the least strength out of all the E string barre chords.

wtf do you mean who is it?
Nædrin knock knock
Nædrin what the hell somebody hacked my account
I like the subtle things in this video: he didn't use his pinky, he didn't mute anything, and only did downstrokes. Shit, I forgot about that.
+ShortFingeredShreder Not to mention his band got duped into a pay- to- play gig for the sketchy record label in his other vid XD.
***** It's on Jared's channel- "Things Sketchy Record Labels Say"
+ShortFingeredShreder james hetfield only did downstrokes too, pal
Amir hazmie
No he doesn't. For certain songs, yes. But he doesn't just downpick. Beginners can only do downstrokes because they can't alternate pick, that's why he put it in the video. Also, I'm not your pal, guy.
James Hetfields downpicking makes his music heavier, although he can alternate pick his ass off, too. Downpicking at the speed of light is James' signature thing.
Where's the out-of-tune Sweet Child of Mine cover?
THIS
lollllllllll
And Wonderwall!
Well, when I was an begginers I actually was smart enough to play it on 11th fret instead lf 12th :p
Go watch Rob Chapman's demo of the Fender Starcaster. It's there.
I've been playing for 10 years and that sweep picking is still better than I could do :')
Then you probably never tried to learn it seriously!
Once you get the flow of things, it gets pretty easy... tough some stuff like Origin's Finite sweeps is just ridiculous....
Hann Pungartnik Just very recently I started sweeping at Origin speeds!I started with The Aftermath, still needs a little more work but I'm getting there.This too just requires practice!
Yeah. I've been playing for ~6, and I can't do it that well either. I just started trying to pick it up lately.
Yeahh I've never tried to learn at all lol there's no way my fingers could move that fast, if you're looking for insane sweep riffs man listen to rings of saturn straight out they use sweeps in their normal riffs lol like it ain't special
“I like drop d a lot”-Jared better not attack me like this again😂
Been playing for 12 years and still don't read sheet music, not once in my life have I been asked to play something off of sheet music lol
i used to play piano so it wasn't that hard for me to learn
Apologen it's less the sheet music but more getting to know the mechanics of scales, keys, and chords. Some people don't need it but it can be a huge help to others.
Where's "Hey, can I borrow a pick?"
My friend in Guitar class ALWAYS FUCKING SAYS THAT.
Akahri Yup, that's me.
+Akahri Thats not just limited to beginners though :p
Tcrumpen If I could +1 over and over for accuracy I would
Akahri
Have a +1 from me :p
So basically don't tell anyone you play guitar for 10 years until you are decent.
Yes.
yeah I know this guy who specializes in metal, typical "people who cant play metal are pussies" and "if it aint metal its weak as fuck" kind of guy, real prick
+xX_Gabe_Xx being a pretty dedicated metalhead myself, I can tell you it's not good to limit your abilities as a guitarist to just one genre. That being said, the only guitar I have has such heavy strings I can't actually play anything in standard tuning, unless I want to break my bridge. Dilemma!
+Joseph Brandenburg : How heavy? And what tunings do you play in?
SYLFan2008 I use 12-54's right now, so I'm in drop Bb (for In Flames). I play drop C a lot, too. Occasionally I go down to A. I have a floating bridge so it gets screwed up when i put too much tension on it.
The best guitarists will never admit that they're the best
Matthew Nazaroff Just like the best UFC fighters will never walk around acting tough all the time picking fights.
Rohan Narain lol yes they do on the reality tv show about it
Kandi Klover Dude it's a reality TV show. In real life do you really think Rumble Johnson or Cain Velasquez walk around acting like tough guys picking fights just to prove something?
The worst guitarists will never admit they're the worst... except me currently.
How long have you been playing?
I feel bad because this is pretty much me...
me too...tbfh
the knobs are missing but its looks grungy, lol me af
Freako Gaming I wish i was but idfk where to get the stickers so i just put a bunch of tape on it
GabePlaysGames same
Dont feel bad,everyone once was a beginner
Sounds like me except I started playing 8 years ago... RIP
gopro_2027 SAME
That ultimate guitar part felt like a personal attack
Most guitarists thought they were the best when they started but I think I suck lol
Rocky Productions lool me too
Just keep at it - even if you can only put 20 or 30 minutes in a day, just try and practice every day. While there are many good videos online, sometimes having a guitar teacher is great for keeping you focused and also being able to fine tune your practices based on your strengths and weaknesses. Nobody picked up a guitar and was instantly good - but I believe just about anyone can become good. It's a lifelong passion - and I truly think the more people who play music - the better.
John Sheehan k but ive played since I was 2 and my current teacher is amazing but I still think I suckkk
Arthur Motoyama its pretty much with every instrument haha
ChelleMentu lol the best students are the ones that still think they suck.. they learn more.. keep it up! 😆
Ha u know what things advanced guitarists do that are annoying.... make fun of beginner guitarists for not knowing any better
true
true. some beginers might not know this was a joke.
if your an old guy you should know to respect people.
i get the feeling that you're a younger fella
i'm a straight a student, if that's what you mean
When you've played guitar for 8 years and still don't see the point in learning to read sheet music
same
+Moo cow then why did you say you didn't know the point?
I'm too lazy
same for me... but i learned how to :|
when everything has tab whats the point
Don't worry. Stevie Wonder can't read sheet music either...
Nies Family I ... wonder why ...
Nies Family so messed up buddy
This is no place for racism
lol boi Mine was a joke because it wasn't even based on race ya ding dong
WoPrulez how is racism not based on race lmao even if you were joking that doesn't make sense
*"* When can I learn *Master Of Puppets "*
...where else am I supposed to get tabs?
+Littlejohn133 Bigbasstabs?
By ear 😭😂
+Littlejohn133 songsterr
+Littlejohn133 don't use tabs, learn to read music
George Dufresne That doesn't help any.
You forgot to say "I use my strap low because thats confurtuble to me , its not to look cool"
I have it where the guitar is right above my waist usually
Nice. Unfortunately, a lot of "pros" are also still using that line.
For me it’s easier on my picking hand having it lower and easier on my fretting hand having it higher. I just find a balance that works
My uncle said I had my strap too short earlier so he put it as long as possible.
I always got made fun of a bit by bandmates for have my guitar or bass in an actually comfortable position for me lol
Jared: *makes fun of line 6*
Also Jared: *has two line 6 cabs and a line 6 head*
Laugh all you want guys, because we all know that this was true for every one of us, even if only for a very small period of time.
I bought my first guitar based on looks alone. It was a B.C. Rich Mockingbird. Knew less than nothing about the guitar as an instrument, or else I'd have bought an Ibanez or Charvel for the same price instead. My amp is a shitty Acoustic solid state 10 watt combo with an 8 inch speaker. The thing cant even handle a note lower than C#.
Ever since I figured out what they were, i wanted a set EMG 81/85s and a BOSS Metal Zone. Thank god I never followed through. I scooped the mids to oblivion and turned the treble and bass up to 11. Cranked the gain up as high as it could go. Thought I sounded amazing. I had no idea.
Tube amps had too many settings for me, was too afraid to try them out. First time I ever plugged into one, i had it on standby and thought it wasnt plugged in to the cab correctly.
Spent most of my days learning easy Metallica and Black Sabbath riffs, usually playing them in the wrong tunings (Sad But True in E Standard anybody?).
Once even tried to write an original riff with a buddy of mine. It was a total pile of shit, loaded with mindless chugging and random pick scrapes.
Fast forward to now, almost a year later. I still have that B.C. Rich Mockingbird and that Acoustic amp. Gotten better through practice, but its been hard with school and college shit etc. I can just barely gallop, and my alternate picking is pitiful. Been practicing it as often as possible to build up my right/left hand coordination, but it is really hard, especially after almost a year of almost exclusively downpicking.
Looking forward, I hope to sell the B.C. Rich and solid state in favor of some sort of mid-range guitar, likely an Ibanez RG or something similar, and either an Orange Micro Dark Terror or BIAS FX by Positive Grid for my laptop.
Guitar is a learning experience for me. Every day, theres something new to be learned, something to be practiced. I don't plan on stopping anytime soon.
+Jake McB I still buy my bass, purely on how it looks lol
You pretty much just described my situation right now. Difference between you and me is that a year later I at least know how to alternate.
machinimamarlon For some reason, it's really difficult for me to sync my right and left hands when I alternate pick. I can play slower stuff just fine, but when it comes to playing bands like Lamb of God or Megadeth, its too fast and my left hand gets held up somewhere along the way
Jake McB I'm pretty sure everyone has that problem. I think what makes them get past it is just how you deal with it.
What I did was start from square one. I kept playing the chromatic scale while alternating. First I was focused on just doing it. Then after a while it became "how fast can I do it?"
Also, something a lot of people tend to overlook (including myself) is the way you hold the pick. When you alternate, you wanna kind of tilt your pick so it cuts through the string. I didn't notice how much this helped until a friend of mine pointed it out.
machinimamarlon Yeah i found that angling tip on a Ben Eller video about sweep picking. It really does help a ton. I just need to learn/run some modes and scales to practice, like you said. Been doing that 1234 run on each string, then switching it to 1243 after a while
My bands called sphincter in the sun,and our hit single is stairway too bungus
Fun fact 9/11: No one gives a fuck
fun fact 10/11: it was a joke☻
Drummer boy Gavin love it

+Vinnie Sepulveda One shall never call oneself a fan of Nirvana without having listened to Bleach.
-God or something
+Vinnie Sepulveda they're too stupid to know that actually riff from School is far easier than songs you mentioned.
+TheZooropaBaby One time I stayed up all night listening to Bleach and at like 6am I decided to play some guitar. I wrote a riff that I thought was really cool. The next day I pick up my guitar and play and I realised I had just been playing the intro to School.
Fucking lord of guitar of guitar playing. Next, for your super hardcoreness, you need to learn some djent XD
+aidan anderson Always happens to me. Im a huge nirvana fan and I make up a riff then im like "shit, this sounds familiar"
I can guitar
*plays smoke on the water*
Danger Geoff omg that's literally my dad XD
Ezrew's Art that is literally everybody else as well
That is my pet hate, new guitarists that think they are jimi hendrix because they can play smoke on the water
FAKE! This wasn't played on a Squier Strat. Although you got the Line 6 part right...
Michael S if you can’t sound good on a Squier then you’re not ready to play for real
An Than Van Man Tan squiers are bad compared to other beginner guitars
I’m a beginner and I have the squier it sounds like dogshit compared to my brothers guitars
Ice9922 Why do I hear about so many beginners spending money on electrics? I learned on a thirty dollar acoustic that had been rotting in a closet for years. Don't dump money into something unless you're sure you're gonna love it
K Ktown lol I've been playing for 2 years... only ever owned a $10 acoustic I learned on and play at a jazz band with a sold bodied squier strat (with a pedal just to emulate the tone)... still too broke to buy a decent semi-hollow :(
My desire to learn to play comes from 2 things.
1) the feeling of doing something that is essentially the core of most modern day music is something I can only imagine. But I feel its best summed up in one feeling. Ecstasy...
2) Witnessing the looks on people's face when they look on in awe. Watching people I know playing guitar live and being good at it puts a smile on my face a mile long. I'd love to be able to give someone who I know that sensation and sense of awe.
well, at least i was reallistic and knew that i was terrible, i'm much better now but still, i know shit about gear and there's a lot to learn yet
me too
oravlaful and I put stickers on my guitar ))
oravlaful literally, watch Rob Chapman, watch his challenges and gear vids, and then just google what he says that you dont know, I'm really good at specs and gear just by watching him
yeah this vid was meant to be funny of course.. i think they were more making fun of beginners who not just are ignorant but also have big egos (which lets face it, there are a lot lol). i've always preferred to assume i know hardly anything about guitar.. that way i can push myself to always get better. people who assume they are the shit tend to make less interesting music i've found. (with some exceptions of course.. if you can back it up 100% then you can claim whatever you want; but i don't like dickish attitudes like that tbh)
I think I'm the opposite: Played 6 years and can't say I'm a good player. I know a ton about gear though, I've found modifiyng guitars and amps and pedals to be almost as much fun as actual playing...
Wanna hear a funny thing? I didn't start playing guitar for me. I started playing for others. Everyone had a talent at my school. I can draw decently, I can sing decently, but it seemed everyone else could do it better. So in order to one up the one uppers, I joined band. After a year or so, flute wasn't really cutting it for me (although I still play today. You can never give up an instrument completely) because who could impress someone with a flute? I wanted to master a common instrument, and since I was so into indie rock at the time, I picked up guitar. I expected that I was going to probably quit, but in my guitar class, I was excelling. Very quickly I should add. Something that was unlikely for me, because I usually don't do better than others. I ended up being separated from my group a quarter of the way through my semester class and started learning some new stuff. Not the boring old chords the other kids were struggling with. I was taught licks, scales, and hell! The first song I ever learned was Enter Sandman, after I strengthened my fingers up a bit and got down my scales. Guitar became more about me, rather than my peers. I started to play for me. And although it feels fucking amazing to shred an awesome guitar solo, it feels even better to know that I did this. I practiced and slaved over a song for a good month and shredded it down to every note, just for myself. Playing guitar is amazing. And with playing guitar, you started to define your music identity. Two years ago, it'd be only Manchester Orchestra, the indie stuff. But guitar opened me up to a lot of old rock, the only thing I'll listen to now, really. White snake, GNR, Motörhead. A lot more comes from playing guitar, rather than actually PLAYING guitar.
(I know, this is long. And please do not get discouraged about how I said I got separated. Every musician starts somewhere. Be proud of where you are in your experience.)
I picked up guitar but then someone called me bad because they are cocky douches do I learned how to unicycle instead my story isn't at intriguing as yours
Alyssa Hyslop
I was 8 when I got my first guitar. I got super into Michael Jackson right after he died. And I found out that of all the people in the world, Eddie Van Halen played the solo for Beat It. I asked for it for my birthday, and got a black and white guitar from some company in NY called Brownsville. I was enrolled in lessons, but I was told my hands were too small. So my dumbass shelved it away for about 6 long years. After middle school, I started listening to bands like A7X, MCR, Manic Street Preachers, the Cribs, and people like Hendrix, SRV, and John Mayer. And decided to learn again. Best decision I've made in my young life, because I don't know what I would rather do. But the thing that annoys me is that being Mexican-American and playing guitar is the absolute worst. Everyone calls me Elvis because of my hair and they call me Ritchie Valens because I'm hispanic and they've all seen or heard La Bamba. I don't really have a problem with that, but they expect me to know every single song by them, and it pisses me off. Because I'm (still) learning to become my own player, not to be a copycat. I'm about to turn 16 and I don't plan on stopping, my guitars are my many mistresses. I love all 5 of them.
KingJ 02 I'm currently in that situation of being called ritchie valens. Except I learned la bamba cause I liked the song.
Wild Cat Well I won't lie, I like it too, but I learned it for my uncle's bday. I also forgot to mention that the very first song I learned how to play was sleepwalk. The song at the end when Bob yells "RITCHIE!" and I never knew until I saw the movie. That's were everyone calling me Ritchie all started.
I were never been interested to learn guitar like, to play Van Halen or anything more than just fooling around, but in my Music class the opportunity to play the bass in a prom performance (Between half and half of the diploma ceremony) and got interested in the instrument. Not because of the song, that was a piece of shit generic pop love song, but I just got into the bass guitar. Flash forward to June 4th. I go to Madrid (I'm from Tenerife) for the GNR concert and the performance that Duff Mckagan gave just seemed to inadvertedly flip a switch in my brain: I wanted to play bass. The performance thing happened, but I guess the bass was considered not necessary (Though they got a backup singer at the last minute who couldn't harmonize for shit) and it was discarded. Still, my interest in it was high and at the very end of July I got my bass, a Squier Affinity J Bass. Now, at nearly 16 years old, I've learned so much in these couple months mostly from playing Cliff Burton stuff (Not quite polished anything yet, but I've still improved a great deal for not having any teachers but me) and it's such a fun instrument to play. Just wish I had more time to sit down and play.
I just realized this is not jareds channel
"BCRich guitars are so sick!"

Hamsterwheel same 😂
there it goees
im looking at buying one..... crap but i dont care
They look cool but they are cheaply made and come with garbage pickups
when i was a beginner i liked Bc rich so much for their cool design but in the end i bought a Razorback Dean
now i just want to buy a simple looking ibanez :P
being a kid was nice
The BC Rich line was a personal attack. I’m a beginner with 3 of them 😩 but in my defense they’re the epitome of 80s & 90s metal. 🤘🏽🤘🏽

im sure many famous bands started out the same way
yes dude, dave from foo fighters don't give a sheet. You know what I mean.
sounds like it belongs in this video.

+Joseph Benjamin comment of the century. good job, sir
If you practice for 30 min. every couple of days, you too can be a beginner for 2 or more years.
Practice for atleast an hour for 2 years .
I get all my tabs from ultimate guitar tabs
Lol that's me to be honest
it's honestly a great way to quickly learn a song. I was able to learn every single Green Day song thanks to tabs I found on that site
+Theepicr RotMG I just used it for a bunch of green day songs today
+Theepicr RotMG Green Day? Would never have guessed.
Me, too.
I mean it's okay, you can get a general sense of how it's played, the more you play around with it. You can make the changes necessary. Luckily people can make revisions.
when you played smoke on the water, i fucking died, it was the first song i learded to play, but i didn't even learn it right, i played it on one string lol.

they look cool but they sound pretty fuckin bad xD i still have mine i cant really part with it because it has a bad ass paint job. luckily the guy who painted it didn't know how much it usually costs to get it painted so he only charged me 100 bucks.
"I picked up the bass, because 4 strings is much easier than 6."
I’ve been playing guitar for about two years now. The first song I ever stuck with on electric guitar was Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) by Marilyn Manson and the first every song I tried to play (on my dad’s acoustic) was Wonderwall.
I never played Smoke On The Water once as a beginner 😂
I’ve been seeing a lot of newbies playing seven nation army more than those two
@@nick1512 yeah I just kinda started wherever I felt like it
You don't *have* to able to read sheet music to play the guitar. I mean, the Beatles couldn't read music and they turned out fine.
Ellie Louise two of them turned out fine
Ryder Nelson Too soon 😭😭
Ellie Louise not "couldn't" but "didn't"
No but George Martin could and he was absolutely integral to their success.
i feel so called out right now
same lmfao
It's kinda gnarly watching a pro try to play not so good, heh
DeadCynic You can almost feel him struggling to play so poorly~
no worries he plays djent so he works hard to play badly on a regular basis... (IM KIDDING people calm down). Seriously if you watch him just wail on the guitar he's stunningly good
he's a pro?

17 - What's a Tuner?
david laranjeira hahaha, but learning by ear is actually pretty healthy for writing music, solo's, and learning music that isn't popular and doesn't have tab.
Dog Jr Yes and I agree. I learned the "street" way. Peeps would gather and share what they knew at the time. Only the more complex and theoretical stuff I had to learn at a music academy.
david laranjeira This guitar came with 9 gauge strings, but I just put 12s on them. Real men play 12s.
Why is the neck bending?
ShortFingeredShreder lmao. good one.
david laranjeira bar chords are so hard (just started playing)
I'm guilty of a couple of these. Mainly the Ernie ball and the 24 fret

saaaaaaaaaaaaame lol
just keep practicing right!
One year isn't enough to really judge yourself. Just persevere and in a couple of years you'll be dominating that guitar
On average with regular practice it takes someone about 7-8 years to master an instrument.
so true xDDD
The more I come back to this video the better it gets
I picked up guitar to help my nonexistent social skills
It didn't help

I'm disliking as they stole this from Jared.
We actually partnered with him on this video. Notice his Artery Shirt
BAH! Foiled by logic! I retract my dislike but I have seen many people lifting his content so I apologise for the accusation against you.
way to gracefully retract your comment
yeah I didn't even notice that. I thought it was his channel because I'm subbed. regret giving them that view
lol
Him knowing the names of the chords already made him a better beginner than me. I taught myself by ear and didnt even know the names of the chords I was playing until I had already been playing for like 2 years lol
Just his face during his band's riff in the beginning. Get me every time
I feel personally attacked.I'm also laughing my ass off
This is very relatable
HEY to the people who can't read sheet music. It's a slow way to learn, but here's my advice if you want to take it. I'm currently learning how to play guitar, but I have already learned how to play the flute (my experience is from 5th grade to senior year hs). Once you learn the note acronyms and note placement on the staff - CONGRATS!!! you know how to read music! What's hard for you is sight reading quickly, which does take practice. I lettered (putting the letters of the notes above the notes on the staff) my sheet music until early high school before I realized I could automatically know which note was which on the staff. It's like muscle memory, but it does require some kind of practice.
Read sheet music? Easy.
Sight-read a solo? Different story...
Still gold
That Ultimate Guitar one cut deep... :(
Same lol I've used ultimate guitar for as long as I've played, despite how much they are sellouts
this is so fucking painful to watch I had no idea I look so pathetic (yes I'm a begginer)
everyone has been a beginner at least once
JoolsGuitar You can be a beginner more than once?
***** but he's talking about learning guitar
That's how.
dimytar georgiev I think it's only pathetic if you think/act like you're a lot better than you are. There's nothing wrong with not knowing about intonation, action, what strings are best, or whatever as a beginner but showing off your sweet sweep picking should be embarrassing if it's awful as it was in the video. And if you could play the simple things like Smoke on the Water or Iron Man as cleanly as he did in the video then you're probably on the right track. Just know that as a beginner, you really don't know jack (this applies to a lot of things in life). Hell I've been playing for 12 years and I've still got a long way to go before I'm satisfied with my abilities.
MY BOI HAS A LINE 6!!!!! LESS GOOOOO
I mean... Ultimate Guitar is not only good for beginners. It's great for anyone. If you want to learn a song, you might aswell check if it is there.
Agreed.
Yeah, there is some pretty good stuff there.
It's not always accurate to the original though
Bassmaster69 That is true :)
What's the best website for tabs?
I'm a begginer guitarist, and I've never said something like that, this is more like, "Things idiot guitarists say"
I don't see its named "Things joker guitarists say"
Christian Velazquez Oh hi Mr Literal, are you friends with Mr. Doesn'tgetthejoke? I'm sure you two would get along.
***** Wait, what? I think you replied to the wrong person, Christian Velazquez is the one who doesn't understand the video. I'm going to assume you just made a mistake.
I understood the video, but I think this is insulting, or at least, it has the wrong title, JimmyJimmy, you don't get my point, or you just want to be an idiot, anyway, I got my point, and it's my opinion, if you don't like it, it's not my problem
Christian Velazquez You're getting offended by a clearly joke title, maybe the internet isn't the best place for you. Grow up.
I've seen it a lot of this in the 80's & 90's, not much since 2000 🙂
You forgot one.
The Beatles suck.
Wearing a Nickleback tee shirt as he says it.
Oh my god yes
what is Nickelback?
+Imtiaz Sk its a band
A lot of the songs I know on the guitar are Beatles song. Great band, great music, great show.
+Bla'ch'cach Accchh'acch'cccach I don't get it. Is that bad?
Honestly.. I don't even remember why I started playing guitar. I just remember that around the same time my sisters started playing violin my mom decided to buy herself and I each acoustic guitars. At first I didn't like it cause it was extremely frustrating, it still is, but as I got older I started practicing more and now I absolutely love my guitars. There'll be times when I'm sitting in school wishing I could be at home practicing. I've attempted to write songs but it never really got past the chord progressions. And I swear, lyrics will be the death of me..
austin cochrane stay with it man an see if u can take ur guitar to school i used to play my acoustic almost everyday in like 2 or 3 classes....also how i met my girlfriend of 8 years now anyways cheers man!🤘
austin cochrane hey I feel you man 😅
I play piano and guitar, attempting to write songs but .... I either have just chords or just lyrics ... can't put them together 😐
Menetekel writing songs is really hard work. Though I've read that the whole process is a little easier if you already have lyrics because then you can take the tone of the lyrics and try and match the chords i.e. Dark/sad song, use minor chords with a slower tempo. Happier song, use a major chords and a faster, more up beat tempo. Then there's Bullet by Hollywood Undead, the happiest song about suicide you'll ever find.
austin cochrane yea that's what I read to ... I'm trying and sometimes it works but I mostly change a lot (...oh that line would go with that chord but then the next one has to be a different one as well.... you know 😅) I guess it will just come with time ...
and I know the song and really like it (showed it to a friend the other day, who doesn't speak English and he was like "wow you are listening to something positive for once ?" XD
Making lyrics is easy. I can spew out lyrics left and right and make em fit correctly. All you gotta do is write about something you did or experienced and describe it within the song. Use analogies, similes, and metaphors in your lyrics to make it sound deep. However when it comes to riffs, I need a bit more time for that. We're all good in our own ways
When trying to be cringy takes it's own form of cringe... this.
Jay Weatherbee you sound extremely edgy
This comment is even cringier
Nah this ain’t cringe but ur comment is
bruh
what's wrong with ultimateguitar? I've been playing for 11 years and i still use it. i know it's not always the best but it's like mcdonalds. you go there when you're out of options. songsterr i use half the time. what else do people use?
Songsterr is pretty much all I use
Their ears
Merli Thomin That’s not what I said, but ear training is a good skill to have
I've played piano for years upon years and learn all my songs there by ear, but learning guitar I still use tabs - in many cases they're just more convenient. Never understood why people said it was bad to do
@@AkoAA Ikr? People outside are weird sometimes..
To the people who feel bad about the things he's saying because they personify some of them: don't. I'm pretty certain he's speaking in jest. A lot of "professionals" still do silly things, and even the most seasoned of players have difficulties with certain techniques and such. Don't ever feel bad about your abilities. Be proud that you've taken the time to learn something like a guitar, a pastime that requires a lot of time and effort.
I remember when this hit me in the face when I was starting and I can see all my progress over the years.
This is already gold: the BC Rich comment is so accurate.
I am actually the “I’m tryin to learn crazy train” beginner 😂
Purple Paradox same 😂
I learned it 1st try lmao (the intro tho)
Whats wrong with using Ultimate Guitar Tabs?....
Nothing. it's a joke
Andrew Reyes People think it's for newbies. They expect you to get it from some cool site or get sheet music or know it by ear
Andrew Reyes It's the fake sponsorship joke
Andrew Reyes Sometimes they give you the wrong tabs & chords and if you don't have a trained ear and can't play up to speed, you won't be able to pick it up...
I never really learned how to read sheet music actually (which is not good when your in a school band or something where they just put down music in front of you and expect you to sight read it on the spot) but literally not knowing how to read sheet music has NEVER, and I mean never, caused me any problem whatsoever in continuing quest to learn as many instruments as possible before I die. My ear for music is really good so I learn music by playing the song once or twice, listening to the parts, and then using that to work out how all the parts go and I guarantee you I can play the song about 5 times better then a person who is reading it off sheet music if you just let me listen to the song once beforehand. Its really completely up to how the person learns best.
***** lol yeah if your gonna call someone out make sure they can't back up their claim first. Give me any fucking song and Ill play it for you live on StreetJelly with my webcam. I don't say things like that to jack myself off man, I've been playing music my entire life
***** Bro how many dragons do you even sleigh?
it is good to be confident, but it is not good for you and your musical process to have a crush on yourself. And you don't play anything 5 times better than anyone.
JoolsGuitar I agree with you, it's never good to basically think you're better than other people. It makes the person look like an arrogant ass.
And also "quest to learn as many instruments as possible before I die." Learning a ton of instruments just for the sake of having played them and probably being utter shit at a majority of them, does not a good musician make.
The ultimate thing for a musician would be to only focus on one instrument and become disgustingly good at that, but I can't really say that because that would make me a horrible hypocrite.
Cheers :)
I think Eddie Van Halen doesn't know how to read sheet music either.
Bold of you to assume that I can even do power chords
well this will kill all the beginning guitarists dreams
the sweep picking one is me tbh XD I should kms
lane flores nooo don't die
lane flores nooo don't die
do it, you won't (ps. I was the same way when I started)
Whoa. "XD" and "Kms" in the same comment. You really ARE an emo.
Nick Please haha I know right. I'm just SOOO edgy.
3:18 I can't make fun of this one because I was that guy when I started. My first real guitar, not counting the cheap one I started with, had 24 frets and a floyd rose. I still play that guitar.
