Comment from : @1KrystalRose

you have the exact same story as me!! I did guitar for a while when I was younger and I'm 14 now and have recently been feeling kinda talentless and useless lol but this has really helped me, both with relearning the guitar and mentally, thank you so much for this video

Here in January 2025 with a TTPD guitar and desperately trying to teach myself guitar, though I've never been musically inclined This video was great but still had so many terms that i'm not familiar with Is there like a Day 1 intro to guitar for newbies who know nothing other than "guitars have strings"? haha or am I SOL?
Comment from : @tylersamuels420

This has been very useful, definitely saving this video

Your fingers are on point Love your process
Comment from : @ionageman

7:24 I recommend dear John, at least the intro, it’s slow strumming and a good thing to begin with

It's me I'm she who wants to teach myself how to play guitar
Comment from : @jessikadebeer322

there is also a thing out of plastic and its kind of like a small palate but very thin and is triangle in shape it can be found in shops it is used to play the guitar strings on the body's hole part that tool is very useful and your fingers also don't hurt i think every guitar player should have it because its very useful🔺🔻🎸🎸
Comment from : @nainakashyap2654

guitar playing is seriosly hard!!! 😳🎸🎸🎶
Comment from : @SureshKumar-sm4ht

Well I have been learning for some time now and just wanted to see what ideas you had,,basically you covered how I do things,, wish I saw this video years ago,,
Comment from : @davidadkins2563

What kind of guitar is that ?
Comment from : @yeniferrivera9624

Good advice, as someone who recently decided to learn guitar This is really helpful I was thinking of Taylor swift looking at you and was surprised when you mentioned her 😅
Comment from : @fatcatdoreamon8182

You're great! I'm sold Gonna give this a try, I already got a guitar By the way, you look like Taylor Swift! ❤
Comment from : @sukyp1950

Comment from : @PearlJamAndBiscuits

Comment from : @MrLindsor13

Comment from : @sujilamolneenu5054

I just want to clarify for anyone watching this that tabs and chords are different Tabs are written out by fret and string, chord charts simply list the names of chords in the song Please do not conflate the two, especially if you begin to venture out into playing outside of just for yourself

Thank you for the info , literally I appreciate to share your experience of learning & practice tips and finally I find a channel that give me a realistic way after two years of searching & confusion between multiple sources 🥰🥰
Comment from : @alhanoofalfa

Finally someone who did teach me what a string is in the name of how to start a guitar
Comment from : @shadowishere3414

When this video popped up, before I even clicked on it, I could tell you were a swiftie
Comment from : @jadegreen6613

I've been thinking of buying a acoustic guitar starting from around 160 euro and so I'm going trough multiple videos I mean my mom said she will buy me guitar in February so I really watching anything about guitars I can possibly watch
Comment from : @BookwormRena

Press the string near the fret you wont have to press so hard
Comment from : @gillieken

I've had a guitar for years, but never was able to commit to learning I made it a goal for this year to learn how to play ❤️
Comment from : @erzascarlet03

Two years later and it’s still helpful
Comment from : @Ki-KisWorld

Stop talking too much straight to why I clicked your video please😩
Comment from : @guyterver

I’d say go to a music store and buy a guitar Maybe go with some you know who can already play a little if you literally can’t play anything at all I’d steer clear of $100 Amazon guitars; there are a few good ones but many are trash and nothing will put you off faster than a bad guitar, that is poorly set up because it will be near impossible to play Guitar is hard enough without having to fight with your instrument
Comment from : @MattSwain1

Thanks I learned so much than a normal guitar tutorial video❤
Comment from : @rashmi6127

Thank you

Loveeeed your channel so much Got a new subscriber ❤
Comment from : @julianamagalhaess

As an older guy just about to embark on my third go around of playing guitar, with many years of not playing in between, I can not emphasize this enough: HAVE FUN All your tips are spot on, gotta say, as with any hobby, it’s easy to get burned out You don’t have to completely step away like I made the mistake of doing Change it up, play the songs you know in a different style than you’ve familiarized yourself with Play “Your Body Is A Wonderland” like a reggae song, or whatever Change it up, keep it fun No amount of money spent on guitars or effects pedals is going to make you a better player, just enjoy what you’re doing and you won’t be able to get enough of it
Comment from : @March1966

i got my guitar christmas of 2022 and ive been practicing but i've found mine is a little too big for me, like it is JUST BARELY the right size, but too big for me to play barre chords it kinda sucks but one day ONE DAY I WILL
Comment from : @taylorwolfram3871

does this tutorial still work in 2024?
Comment from : @psychogaymer9980

watching this on 1 Jan 2024 🤣
Comment from : @memeclub22

Very useful tips, thank you!!!
Comment from : @rassbagley3191

i started with ukulele and that really helped me get a feel for chord changes, how your hands should be positioned, progressions, etc obviously not the same instrument but having the foundational muscle memory makes everything a lot easier
Comment from : @BigDemonCat

Thank you
Comment from : @kahurangiataahua

the first lesson i came across on this platform was rather macabre, I made it a decent way through before happening upon this video, so glad I switched before finishing that first lesson, you are showing all your colors here, I love love love how you put yourself out there, SUPER watchable love love love <3
Comment from : @exion3560

College? I thought you were in high schoollol
Comment from : @silntklr

Like your teaching but I'm left handed so trying to do right hand but seems more easier to just last the guitar on my lap and play

Know your major scales n minor scales😊
Comment from : @josejimenaz

I just got my first guitar today and it is an electric I got the guitar and the amp for $40 The part that was why my parents didn’t want to wait til Christmas is it doesn’t have 3 bridge pins or the strings So the total cost is like $20 more I think it’s worth since I’m going to work to make it work so I will be motivated to learn to play
Comment from : @uk3dp8

Reminds me of exercising If you say you will work out at home, it most likely wont happen Too many distractions But if you commit to set a schedule and drive to the gym, you will work out Since you are already there you will have to work out
Comment from : @1972myc

What to do with the buzz sound i can't press hard enough😶✋️
Comment from : @Khushi_is_meh

Damn, I'm here in 2023 and this info probably is irrelevant now since it says in the title iin 2022/i guess I'll just dislike and move on with my life thinking if only I was one year earlier
Comment from : @firststrandtypename1866

here is to learn acoustic guitar, i teached myself in oktober 2019 play/practice everyday for 4 hours minimum ''if you think you can be a guitar player by learning 10 mins a day or just think let me practice for 1 hour a week just forget about it and dont waste your time'' If you dont make guitar playing a habit for example normally you would be watching tv for 4 hours a day or game for 4/5 hours a day you wont make it after doing that for 1 year you will notice you are becoming decent after another year you will becoming even a little bit better and after 4 years you will be a pretty decent guitar player at home but live on stage you will still be bang average After 4 years i know almost every chord and bar chord The key is discipline and that is the hardest part, because i wanted to play and sing on stage i made it through but i think i would have givin up on learning acoustic guitar because in the beginning its really hard on your fingers but also even after 2 years you are just so average that its just really boring brbrthis is coming from someone who starting learning guitar at age 25 with a full time job wich is pretty hard to do, for people that live with their parents and work part time or have no job you have a very big advantage brbrgood luck all

Comment from : @lanyhardwick3942

You look like Taylor Swift !
Comment from : @nothisispatrick7381

After putting down my guitar almost thirty years ago, I’ve finally set myself the challenge to pick it back up I turn sixty next year and my goal is to break through the confidence barrier to be able to play a few songs for family and friends and work on from there One of my sons taught himself to play over the past few years simply using YouTube and practising constantly He’s absolutely incredible and he’s given me the motivation to believe I can do this Perhaps not to the level he’s at but it’s definitely possible So here goes …… 🤞🏼🤞🏼😊
Comment from : @ginamariaful

I practice but I don't song like those I'm following And some cords don't make a don't make a sound when I press on it I don't know why? This is my best challenge in learning play guitar
Comment from : @user-vl8iq2od8k

For people struggling with bar chords, electric guitar fixed my problem Just learning bar chords on the electric guitar has made it so much easier on acoustic I am still not perfect but I can get 6 clear sounding strings which is a massive jump Bar chords are easier on electric guitar purely because you don't need to apply so much pressure to the frets because of the pick ups and also because of the smaller neck so I really do recommend trying this if you have access to an electric guitar Also, electric guitars are SUPER FUN!
