Tip: End your practice on a positive, where you have learned something correctly and played it well. Don't end when you are frustrated about the session.
@@WalR- I just spent 3 days about 2-3hr every day learning the 1st 8 bars of a way too complex song for me to play. But daily I noticed the better progress and now I can play those bars somewhat perfectly. The difficult thing is just, keeping yourself motivated to keep going at it. There are a lot of tools that can make you listen to the song and repeat it at half speed or even 25% if you require. Also don't look at how skilled someone is, just look at their hands and what they do with them and try to learn from it.
Good lesson. I listed your points below for copy and paste: 10. Practice timing 9. Consistent SMART practice Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic Time based 8. Learn songs 7. Practice meloody lines and phrasing 6. Don't practice through mistakes 5. Play with other people 4. Tune often 3. Don't depend on your gear 2. Learn the notes on the fret board 1. Learn some basic music theory
@@MusoraMedia i was hoping to get your opinion on some things a beginner should use to learn like should we learn sheet music first? Should we start learning chords or notes first?
@@sv8313 I think it heavily depends on what you have fun with. For me it was a huge motivation boost when I played my first licks, for you it could be to play the chords of your favourite song. As a beginner I think you should just do what keeps you playing. There is no such thing as the right way to start learning an instrument except for having fun.
I know this may sound kind of silly but I started a little "Positive Music Thoughts" journal. Whenever I feel frustrated or down I write down what I have accomplished recently with my playing and other positive things. Whenever I start getting down on myself about my playing I open up that journal, read the last entry and then write down something I got better at since then. Inevitably I have gotten better at something since the last entry. The more positive you feel about your playing the more often you'll play and the more confidence you'll have.
Yeah being positive and everything etc etc. I think everyone has walls or boundaries. For someone learning tracks like Polyphia - G.O.A.T or some Malmsteen's solos will take 2 or 3 years while others will reach high level faster and they can play it after a few weeks without major problems. People try to convince themselves that "sky is the limit". Bruh. It isn't. Some techniques or songs are so complicated that you need to SINK so much time. Like A LOT. It is not about practice everyday "for a little". None can convince me "daily practice" (which need to consist of arpeggios, shredding, learning how much strength of your left hand its required to make sound clean (step to become faster), synch both hands plus grinding technique like economic picking and alternative picking) can be like 15 minutes. And again - no, you can't focus on one thing everyday. It's simple - your muscle memory will forget one thing that you only teach yourself once in a week or twice. So yeah - why are there so many godly guitarists ? They grind their skills like everyday for 3 or 4 hours (yeah even Nick Johnstons said that - he "locked himself in a room and play as much as he could"). You need to become obsessed about guitar. I don't talk about being able to "0-3-5 faster". I am talking about being at Rings of Saturn or First Fragment level.
A few pieces of advice that I've learned, some of them don't really fit in a technique video but I'd give them away for free to anyone who'd care to listen: 1. I've been playing for a little less than a year and a half. I started at 37. 37 years old. Seriously. I'm 39 now. Playing in church, and I love it. Piece of advice number one? To paraphrase a Chinese Proverb, the best time to start was 20+ years ago. The second best time to start is now. 2. Find something you enjoy hearing that is slightly above your skill level. Play up, not down, if you want to grow. I started with the opening riff to Long Cool Woman. Fun, achievable, and I keep coming back to it. 3. Find something you enjoy hearing/playing that you can reliably come back to and play well, so that when you're frustrated at the difficulty of learning something new you can relieve the tension by playing something that you know you can play well. 4. Bonus: have fun. It's called playing guitar, not working guitar. Play. Not that it's all fun all the time, but it should be a net fun experience. If it isn't then you're probably pushing yourself too hard and need to relax a bit before you burn out.
Charles, I started playing guitar in January. I have been taking on line lessons with Nate on Guitareo.com I highly recommend take his courses. I've made alot of progress and good pace for me .
@@Arno-hs4qt I can play a song now called "Buwan" and now I started playing "Shallow" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. I want to learn fingerstyle but its very hard huhu
I’ve been practicing the guitar for nearly 4 years mostly independently, all I can do now is to play songs with the chords in front of me. Glad I found this video Hopefully I can play a songs just by listening to it one day🙏 still waiting for ma breakthrough.
Tried your timing exercise and realized how bad my timing was (which is depressing given how much DJing and beat counting I've done in my life) but with just like 15 min of practicing I'm already getting better. It's really invigorating to start something new and see yourself getting better. Thank you!
Great advice. One thing I like to do is to work on chord changes and strumming by playing through the chords of each key, or playing a key in all dominate seven chords, or playing keys in alternate voicings.
Hey Nate ! What you did at 3:48 - creating melodies out of head - Can you please give some tips regarding that ? Beginner here. Thanks a lot Nate, I love your videos !!!! You are a really sweet teacher :D
I just finished the video. I primarily played clarinet from 6-12g. My senior I was first chair clarinet, And I became drum major. I learned some percussion and brass parts, I got offered a full ride scholarship for being distinguished on my instrument. I also was in my band directors guitar class my senior year. Guitar 1, it was very intro. I stuck with it in and out. And learned a lot in band. My best tips are: learn fundamentals. They are so important. Hand placements and strumming techniques are good to learn, especially in rock, also in acoustic too. Learn how to tune without a tuner, or maybe just for the root (standard) E, and go from there! (The 5, 5, 5, 4, 5) .. I play rock primarily now. Scales are important, learn different genres- it helps sculpt who you want to be as a player. Follow your idols!!! Find out what brands they use and playing techniques, and tunings ! Also, RESEARCH THE ORIGINALS! Not just the artist you see today. Thanks so much for reading. Music is powerful! ❤️
I know its a year late. Sing as you play. Think about it. We can hear the vocals in our head. Theres your timing and breaks. An old chord melody troubadour taught me sonething. I asked him "Your playing stuff that has 3 4... 6 musicians in the band, you're one guy, how?" He replied " The audience knows the songs, they will hear all of what Im not playing in their head.". He was right. Don't worry about sounding like Freddie Mercury or whomever. Sing while you play. Your timing will get better
@@flashroyal9933 Hope you’re enjoying what you’re doing and improving! Recording yourself, especially with metronome, helps you hear where the beat lines up to your playing. This reveals blind spots that your ear missed the first time around. Essentially, this applies to all mistakes. The first time you play, your ear only processes and identifies a portion of your mistakes. Listening back a couple times reveals many mistakes you may not have know the first time around. But don’t forget to practice with a metronome (don’t overdo it- don’t use it for everything all the time). Good luck on your progress!
@@kaandis7457 Thank u very much for the info i think i have progressed pretty much since i posted a question here :D im using it for my basic strumming i set it up on 80bpm and i can hit the timing pretty good but sometimes i hurry a little bit :))
@@flashroyal9933 1 year electric guitarist here, by recording myself,1 of the things I've discovered was my picking hand made unnecessary movements which I didn't notice on my own while playing due to being in the moment. It's definetly good to record once a week or whatever feels comfortable. It sometimes feels like you don't really progress until you see yourself play in a video 2-3 months back😂 then you see how fast progression can be
I’m in band and play a lot of other instruments, including the saxophone in a band. I know how intervals work and we work a lot with ear training, but to get better at the guitar it really doesn’t matter how much you already know. Review it if you need to, and learn more. Trust me it helps when you figure out the fretboards notes
I personally recommend as a self taught guitar player, a slower but much better way to learn is to just have fun and play and learn songs you like, don't start off with pentatonic scales and all that and don't dedicate all your time to only learning guitar because then you'll eventually become drained of playing, I've been playing for 2 years but I only sound like I've been playing for one but I can basically play anything you put in front of me and I enjoyed every minute of it
Great video thanks. Tuning - the lost art. When I learnt we didn’t have tuners. I would listen to Radio Luxembourg for half an hour before going to bed and play along with the songs. Not only did this help with recognising chord progressions, it also meant I had to retune for every song while it was running as they didn’t have tuners in the studios either and recording to vinyl often raised or lowered pitch by a few cents. After a few weeks, I could retune by ear within about 15 seconds and recognise most pop progressions by ear too. A word of warning though, tabs, digital tuners and precise A440 recordings mean you lose those abilities.
I've been playing casually for about 6 years on my acoustic and I'm at the point now where I wanna get better. I can usually learn a songs basic chords by listening to one verse even if I've never heard it. I dont use a pick, I hate it. I can do a little bit of baseline johnny cash style. Couple of my favorites to play with a baseline is I walk the line and coat of many colors by dolly parton. I hope to keep getting better. Its a fun instrument
Really inspirational! My tip would be to record yourself on your iPhone record app (rhythm or melody), then play it back and play along with it in a self duet. Also, try singing as you play. That is hard at first, but gets easier!
Wow. Every piece of information I needed was cramped in all at once and it was also entertaining to watch. The first few seconds of watching the video made me subscribe right way Lolol . Cool video overall 👍
I bought a guitar a while back and I just couldnt understand the the guidebook so I gave up on it but Ive been learning more about music theory and about the piano that I decided to give it another try and surely enough understood it now and I had fun challenging myself tryna remember the different sequences of notes
I just started up again and this time I'm not gunna give up hopefully trying to do simple first. I tried learning the notes of shine on you crazy diamond and I stopped and moved to something simpler it's hard but I think I'm gunna get better.
I actually agree with everything you say but I did buy a new guitar because I just felt it would Motivate me and it kinda did. I got a Taylor 324 and have my Yamaha for happy memories. I just can’t play barre chords well in transition from open chords. I need some Magic answers!! It’s been so long practicing thanks brotha
Playing with someone better is fair and away the best way to get better faster. But it’s also difficult for people like me who has no close Musician friends. I had a 6 month period of time when I had a close friend to play with and it is still the fastest growth I’ve made. It’s snail pace grinding these days.
I was frustrated that my fretboard didn't have black keys. So I took small postit notes and put them on my piano, and now my piano has strings. It helps for chord inversions, and it helped explain the bump. I'm using the circle of fifths chord progression on strings 1-3 and 2-4 (ukulele only has four strings) in the G Major chord at first. Then will come E minor, and only then will I worry about the others. I want to Satrianisize my knowledge first.
Question: Should I focus my practice sessions solely on doing different variations of the same scale untill i can play any notes from that scale with fluidity and speed(For example learning ALL the different variations of the A Major Scale to the point where I could close my eyes and instinctively know where all the notes of the A Major scale are)
Learn songs! Try different genres. And I'd advice, sing them too. Learn ur favorite songs, just strum the chords. And if u want to learn more chords, maybe transpose some songs and the chords will become more of #'s and flats so then put a capo and learn those chords maybe. Hope this helps!
This guy has an incredible gift of guitar and a major cleft chin that allowed him to be humble enough to have a defect and be a dear of a human being..
I bought my guitar a couple days ago and I felt like a absolute god when I was trying to play the opening solo sounding part from bat out of hell and I realized that at one part where tthere is a note and the next note is just one down on the fret board on the same string and I could (I also think it is how it is done in the song) just bend the string to take it to that next note.
Timing is crucial. I use a metronome in every practice. Some guitarists play well but off-beat, which ruins my impression. I aim to avoid that mistake.
I took the time this last month to learn all the notes. I can't name every note cold out of the blue yet but i can do the natural notes. What that means is you know the note without referencing another note to find what it is. Satriani is right.
My biggest difficulty has always been some strumming/galloping patterns out there I just can't get my hand to do or just have a hard time understanding the rhythm. Like seriously I can sweep pick better than I can do the galloping section of raining blood. I'm like better at advance techniques than I am at intermediate stuff. Which I find very weird and annoying
idk i can play as an intermediate, but im still a beginner in theory and solos and scales i just dont know them ...but this is gonna motivate me to get better in that aspect....i been owning a guitar for 25 years but i have only been playing decent guitar for 15 and believe it or not been recording on my computer with fruityloops and stuff for 20 lol and only have been good at guitar for 4 years now and im back to being rusty after a few months of not practice.....i guess what im trying to say is practice dont be like me and expect to write music and play perfect in the first few years depending on you and never expect to be successful or famous ever.. because likely you wont, you might have a slot once a week for like 100 bucks to 500 but anyone looking to travel and tour with solo or band it takes a certain kind of person to do that not likle most of us just jamming our room as a teen maybe you will be able to supplement your income but did you bands like mudhoney now have to hold down a job and they were a platinum selling artist at one time
I'm kind of scared of learning songs because I know how horrible I'm at guitar and that learning songs will only get me more frustrated and disappointed. I prefer to stay on the same steady ground with my daily exercises although I know it won't get me much further in my playing.
So you’ll never get better. If ur comfortable being a beginner for the rest of ur life good on u. But u can’t feel bad about it. It’s ur choice. If you wanted to be better you would be.
@@ProblematicBeach I just wrote it to see if there are other people who feel or felt the same way but fortunately I finally started learning new songs soon after i wrote this comment so I'm getting better now, it has helped a lot

Tip: End your practice on a positive, where you have learned something correctly and played it well. Don't end when you are frustrated about the session.

I had a 6 month period of time when I had a close friend to play with and it is still the fastest growth I’ve made. It’s snail pace grinding these days.
I was frustrated that my fretboard didn't have black keys. So I took small postit notes and put them on my piano, and now my piano has strings.
It helps for chord inversions, and it helped explain the bump.
I'm using the circle of fifths chord progression on strings 1-3 and 2-4 (ukulele only has four strings) in the G Major chord at first. Then will come E minor, and only then will I worry about the others. I want to Satrianisize my knowledge first.
One thing inspire me to continue practicing guitar is to be able to play songs of my favorite band.
Is it just me or does his mic and circle thing infont of it keep changing from blue to yellow🤔
Crazy useful advice 🙏
Great advice, all of it!
This is amazing. Ur channel is amazing. Keep this up
Thank you very much bro. 💗🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💗
thank you somuch great video.
Very helpful stuff!
Paint dry and grass grow! lol comedic gold. Excellent video!
Awesome lesson, thank you
Thank u for these advice❣️, I really want to upgrade my skills cause sometimes I went to stage and playing some hillsongs for god😅❣️
Question: Should I focus my practice sessions solely on doing different variations of the same scale untill i can play any notes from that scale with fluidity and speed(For example learning ALL the different variations of the A Major Scale to the point where I could close my eyes and instinctively know where all the notes of the A Major scale are)
Your question is two years old but I would focus on the major and minor Pentatonix and that would be most of what you need
Thanks for this video, it's just what I needed, My question is about what can I do to learn more chords and be able to improve my earing?
Learn songs! Try different genres. And I'd advice, sing them too. Learn ur favorite songs, just strum the chords. And if u want to learn more chords, maybe transpose some songs and the chords will become more of #'s and flats so then put a capo and learn those chords maybe. Hope this helps!
This guy has an incredible gift of guitar and a major cleft chin that allowed him to be humble enough to have a defect and be a dear of a human being..
Really dude? 🤣🤣🤣
Great video, 😊😊😊😊
I bought my guitar a couple days ago and I felt like a absolute god when I was trying to play the opening solo sounding part from bat out of hell and I realized that at one part where tthere is a note and the next note is just one down on the fret board on the same string and I could (I also think it is how it is done in the song) just bend the string to take it to that next note.
Sorry, can't leave any tips on how to get better - started when I was 14. 30 years later, I still just play some open chords. But I do own a PRS!!! :D
Timing is crucial. I use a metronome in every practice. Some guitarists play well but off-beat, which ruins my impression. I aim to avoid that mistake.
I took the time this last month to learn all the notes. I can't name every note cold out of the blue yet but i can do the natural notes. What that means is you know the note without referencing another note to find what it is. Satriani is right.
“Hear paint dry and grass grow” 😂😁 that was good one 👍🏻
“Play with other people.”
Corona- 😉
thank you
My biggest difficulty has always been some strumming/galloping patterns out there I just can't get my hand to do or just have a hard time understanding the rhythm. Like seriously I can sweep pick better than I can do the galloping section of raining blood.
I'm like better at advance techniques than I am at intermediate stuff. Which I find very weird and annoying
Thank you 😍
Brilliant!
This is great advice.
Thanks a lot 😊😊👍👍🙏
idk i can play as an intermediate, but im still a beginner in theory and solos and scales i just dont know them ...but this is gonna motivate me to get better in that aspect....i been owning a guitar for 25 years but i have only been playing decent guitar for 15 and believe it or not been recording on my computer with fruityloops and stuff for 20 lol and only have been good at guitar for 4 years now and im back to being rusty after a few months of not practice.....i guess what im trying to say is practice dont be like me and expect to write music and play perfect in the first few years depending on you and never expect to be successful or famous ever.. because likely you wont, you might have a slot once a week for like 100 bucks to 500 but anyone looking to travel and tour with solo or band it takes a certain kind of person to do that not likle most of us just jamming our room as a teen maybe you will be able to supplement your income but did you bands like mudhoney now have to hold down a job and they were a platinum selling artist at one time
Hi Sir can you make videos on guitar shreding tutorial.. I like your videos
One thing i do is record myself everytime i learn a new song really pushes me to work harder
Me too💃
Idk yet how well you play, im suspecting STRONG, but you are amazing TEACHER ALSO
Nice one
I'm kind of scared of learning songs because I know how horrible I'm at guitar and that learning songs will only get me more frustrated and disappointed. I prefer to stay on the same steady ground with my daily exercises although I know it won't get me much further in my playing.
So you’ll never get better. If ur comfortable being a beginner for the rest of ur life good on u. But u can’t feel bad about it. It’s ur choice. If you wanted to be better you would be.
@@ProblematicBeach I just wrote it to see if there are other people who feel or felt the same way but fortunately I finally started learning new songs soon after i wrote this comment so I'm getting better now, it has helped a lot
@@ironguardian2632 Good on you, man
As an HR Director I push SMART goals *all the time*! Love it! I am creating some for myself today for the guitar. Thanks!
It’s not a new concept. At least here they’re applied to learning a skill while at work it’s just for the owner to pocket the profits 🙄
Sir can I ask does your course have fingerstyle arrangement? Cuz I’m stuck in quarantine everywhere music school is closed .s1 help?tell me pls
Thank you a lot
