Lost my home, lost my job. Screw it, I'm gonna camp on the river and teach myself guitar. I feel somewhat liberated.

PASSED; Play A Simple Song Every Day. Best advice ever.
@So0mber
Here are the points: 1. Yt and songsterr is all u need (Yt for chords , riff , scales) (songsterr for tabs) 2. Guitar is all u need! U don’t need extra gear , use fingers rather than picks 3. Just play something!! 4. Schedule and goals over hump 5. Make it fun :) (start by learning songs that u like) 6. If u need an extra gear it’s looper pedal (as he said) That’s it.

The BEST tip I got in my first guitar lesson, after spending a year being autodidact, is this: make sure you hold your guitar steady with your right hand (and arm, resting on your leg), so the neck is also steady and your left hand is free to move around on the neck. If you even slightly, subconsciously support the neck with your left hand, that hand won't perform well and you will get frustrated thinking it's too hard. It's not. You just need to let go of your grabby grip on the neck.

My best friend took guitar lessons because she wanted to. Her parents paid for them and once she got kind of good at it, they pressured her relentlessly to play in front of people whenever possible and she hated it- so much so that she completely lost interest in the instrument. "Make it fun" truly is the most important tip.

I appreciate how your tips aren’t just “practice more” or “enjoy the process”

i’ve been playing 12 years completely self taught and i can definitely say you are 100 percent correct on everything i wasted 2 years doing terrible tactics

Guitar changed my life. Allowed me to finally manifest emotionally how I felt inside. Having a hobby/instrument/medium to express yourself with (art, music, club, sport) is vital to the human element 🤝🏼
@socklessjoe1
I started to teach myself guitar in 1964. Yes, The Beatles got me going. There wasn't Youtube lol. I used to watch PBS channel 13 in NYC when they had any guitar players on. I would look at their fingers and mimic that. As time went on I met other guitar players and we would trade licks or chords. When I was 18 I toured the East Coast as one of the acts supporting The Eagles.. At 54 I was signed to an Indi Lable in UK Flicknife Records and just now put out my 2nd record. I wish they had O.R.-Guitar when I was a kid. Ps I loved this video..and am now a subscriber... ✌💜😎JJ

How kind and generous you are to share all of that! No hidden motives or sales pitches,just wanting to help others. And you did it so well! Nice video, good for you!! Thank you for being so special!!
@astaneidenisa
It's been 5 days since I picked the guitar for the first time. My fingers hurt and I feel stupid but I'M NOT GIVING UP! Thanks for the tips! Happy new year!
@FrenchEclairYall
When you're learning how to play chords and notes, don't look at your fingers and keep your eyes on the music. Let your hands find their way and listen. You'll remember the sound, the feel, and you'll find transitioning easier! Edit: About learning chords: I found it easier to 1). look at the chord shape for a while, and 2). practice putting my fingers down from lowest to highest string. After that, I'd put a slow tempo on my metronome while practicing switching from one shape to another. Always. Keep. Strumming. EVEN IF YOU MESS UP (TRUST ME). Just keep going. If I find myself still struggling, I'll do 1 and 2 again one time each for about 15 minutes. You're going to get super frustrated, but know that you have to be patient. This is coming from someone INCREDIBLY impatient. None of this comes easy. 😭

I taught myself to play acoustic guitar, I started 2 years @51 years old, the hardest thing was the Bar chords , i practiced 1 hour everyday, I didn’t go through chord theory, I started with chords A am G D dm C Fmajor ‘Em .. my 1 st song I learned was from 4 non blondes “What’s Up” then Knocking on heaven’s door , Jealousy guy , Purple Rain, Hotel California, Nothing Else Matters and many more.. I picked the easiest songs to play and when a new chord came along I learned it because I had no choice or I couldn’t finish what I started .. my habit is to strum with my thumb or finger rather than a pick to keep the volume down, my wife said I couldn’t learn because I was older and I proved her wrong, age is only a number, if there’s a will there’s a way, I even shocked family members when I played Hotel California, 1st question I was asked “how long have you been playing ?” .. I’ve been playing for 2 years and I can play 11 songs from start to finish.. I tell everyone that is starting playing guitar is to choose and easy song to play example a 3 or 4 chords song.. Marty and Blackmore are my go to guitar channels.. I just wanted to tell my experience , rule of thumb practice every day for a half hour minimum, once you learn your 1st song it will inspire you for a second song.. I started off with an OrangeWood guitar and now I play on a 316v Taylor guitar .. every beginner should buy a decent guitar because learning on a horrible guitar will give you bad results and it’s easy to give up.. good luck everyone

My man, I just came across this. And as a self taught guitarist, you've explained everything to DETAIL what I've done. "Placed my guitar in a visible spot, practiced practical song's, minutes to hours a day." Everything! Hands down the best advice to guitarist I've seen. Great video dude, for real!
@skullohm5582
Two of the best tips I always try to remember is "Five minutes a day with the guitar is better than not picking up the guitar at all" & "Play through something even if it doesn't sound good at first, play through the crappy and eventually with enough practice it will sound good." - Marty from Marty Music
@sleepshouter5017
Another tip I’d personally add when you’re a beginner, is don’t tell people that you’re learning guitar. It creates this expectation from others you otherwise wouldn’t receive had you kept it to yourself. There is no unnecessary pressure for you to learn or work towards it so you can learn at the pace you’re comfortable with. Guitar is a cool instrument, and it’s hard not to get excited and tell everyone when you’re still a beginner lol. Just practice on your own, learn what you want, and enjoy not having people ask you “So how far have you gotten with learning guitar?”
