I loved your singing the notes 🫰🫰😍😍🥰🥰
Comment from : @JelloBoyMini

unfortunately, all these tips are probably useful to middle-level guitar players for the beginners they are useless, as almost all the tips and tutorials in internet the only thing that matters is the time that you spend learning and playing guitar yes, it is boring, but only hard work and time makes the results my only advice to myself 30-years ago would be to find a good teacher and spend at least 2 years 2 times per week for guitar lessons

I heard your buttons hit the back of the guitar at the beginninghaven't you learned not to wear buttons while playing guitarlol
Comment from : @film2sound

One of the things I used to do is play the speech pattern of someone talking play their rhythm play the notes they are speaking It connects you to them and they have to pay attention you can use this later to help you connect with your audience play the tempo of the room play the feeling of the room

Don't fall into the Gear trap just buy one good guitar and you don't need any effects and amp Just start with a good acoustic The other things comes with experience

Don’t wear a denim jacket with metal buttons so they don't scratch up your guitar
Comment from : @armybass223

Jesus love you and wants a real and intimate relationship with you He wants to give you comfort and peace and is knocking at the door of your heart waiting for you to let him in Everything is life happens for a reason Put you full trust and faith in God and the plan he has for your life The challenges and obstacles you face are there to prepare you and shape you into the person God wants you to be He can turn what was meant for evil and turn it for good Jesus died on the cross for you, so that you may have eternal life and when you accept him into your heart God will gift you with the Holy Spirit He is the only one who can fill that empty void you have in your heart God Bless!!

Comment from : @itguy8900

First time viewer -- well done To your closing request, good guitarists are always curious and able to learn -- even from complete novices who don't necessarily know what they're doing brbrTo wit, a few years ago, I met up with my son in Phoenix to attend the wedding of my niece I'm near Chicago and he was in LA He had the good mind to bring his new guitar that he was learning on his own Although he was a pretty solid drummer, he began playing some interesting chords that amounted to moving more variants of CAGED around the neck, without barringbrbrHe couldn't have known that his unrestrained play unwittingly opened a new area of pursuit for his old man to improve my bag of tricks Consequently, my "novice" son provided his considerably more experienced dad a sweet guitar course over a couple days I just encouraged him to keep playing for me so I could enter in and further expand my worldbrbrGood guitarists never dismiss those who may (appear to) be less-accomplished Keep learning; you may find your next lesson in the most unexpected place
Comment from : @danielgorski8722

im glad you kept it in even if you are insecure about it man it made me smile and feel a lot better about myself doing that all the time and might explain the "guitar face " for most of us lol
Comment from : @Thephantomewell

Good tips Paul, thanks🎉❤
Comment from : @JESSICABell-l6b

Not gonna roast you for your singing or your guitar playing, but I absolutely will roast you for wearing a denim shirt underneath a denim jacket Crime against humanity
Comment from : @donkeynoose

Wow, really impressive, informative and funny, thanks from a beginner guitarist…❤

You mean Assistant Regional Manager lol
Comment from : @andrewdillard5961

Nice video! That picture of you as a beginner could have been a photo of me! Even had an RG170 Ibanez as my first guitar!

Give live performances and don't get hung up on mistakes but learn from them

You should call your channel "House of Chords" as you sound almost exactly like Frank Underwood speaking about politics the same way you speak about music

Great video 😊😊😊😊😊
Comment from : @BecomeABetterGuitarPlayer1

Just started your course after not playing for about 22 years, Paul It has certainly shown me a) how good I was in high school (I'm 35) but also, b) how many bad habits I had, and c) how much useful skills I'm actually learning from your lessons compared to the hundreds of dollars my mom spent on lessons to play along with my guitar teacher to Iron Maiden Great work!
Comment from : @Rad-is-Rad

If I start practicing all notes on the neck now im dead before im finish 😅 I play only chords and it works fine for me, rhythm and the right feeling is most important for me 😎

Please, What is the song Mary Spender is playing at 5:17 ? I would like to learn it 🙏
Comment from : @qwinkolle

Not for the beginners, but for someone who wants to be a great guitaristbr Also, very patronising to assume someone would care if you play the wrong cord at the drunken party
Comment from : @PistolPeteUK111

I walked into a guitar store in Portland, Oregon in 1976 wearing my beautiful Levis Jean Jacket - with all the rivets and metal buttons I asked if I could play the beautiful Martin D-28 on the wall The store owner said…sure you can play the Martin But first you gotta go outside and burn that coat No way was he going to let anyone play any of his guitars wearing a coat with saw blades festooned all over the front I cringed every time one of your buttons “clacked” on your instrument 😂
Comment from : @jimcoon

Learn all the notes on the fretboard

All of this is fine, but how can I get my hair to look like yours?
Comment from : @Currahee13

Don't buy a floating bridge guitar when you don't know how to change the strings properly on it I think I lost 8 years of potential practice because I couldn't properly change the strings and put it away

I'm on the journey and you've enriched the experience Many thank you's for making these videos I'll find you on insta :)
Comment from : @kellyburgessart

Hello Paul I have a question that’s making me sometimes as an idiot but I trust you will help HOW TO BUILD SUSPENDED AND AUGMENTED ON GUITAR LIKE ON THE KEYSBOARD during a session jam?brThank you at all
Comment from : @flamdiemmanuel7828

You still are a beginner from what I’m hearing
Comment from : @lukekcc8911

First, I love your videos! They have helped me so much already as a beginner brThis isn't guitar-related but I wanted to know if you'd be willing to share what kind of products you use on your beard? It looks so good!
Comment from : @michaeldillman1660

You killed the singing part bro! Sounded perfect to me Throw those insecurities away
Comment from : @Blues40

Very useful advice!
Comment from : @LoneStarRKW

Hello sir! thank you for yor lesson at number 4 when you talked about the chords, how did you know which chord is a majorminordiminished? can you make a lesson about it please?
Comment from : @משגיחמשגיחים

Don't know what others think but personally I'm trying to savour not knowing the notes on the fretboard for as long as possible I feel like understanding notes as numbers specific to the key you are in is more useful I play piano and it's harder to play stuff without thinking about the notes as they are alot easier to see I now crave for understanding the melody as it's relationship with the chords and not the notes themselves
Comment from : @jacobg1219

That’s fuckd up im from PA
Comment from : @patrickparks2042

Your vocals were genuinely more enjoyable to my ears than hers, as good as she was Also, I got so much out of your explanation of triads, super helpful!
Comment from : @law_wren

I like how ur sarcastically funny It removed my tention and opened my learning with laughter & smile!!! 6 months study I don't know a song yetI have so many chords memorizedfret board Open string notes And can play a few things like E scale G
Comment from : @777-Dmaj7

I think if I have ur guitar I will become a better guitarist😁👍 Yours looks perfect what is it?
Comment from : @777-Dmaj7

Couldn’t even get to the meat of your point because you spent so much time trying to be cool and whatever I got bored Get to the frigging point, This 😊is my life Good luck with your future decisions
Comment from : @loadedhog1135

What guitar is that?
Comment from : @luismorales9568

Force yourself to keep going so you can jam with your dad and uncle while you still can You'll regret it deeply if you don't
Comment from : @RenigadeWarrior1

There are no wrong notes
Comment from : @MetZelRio

Literally just picked up an acoustic guitar 2 days ago Now found your channel I’ve put a couple hours in so far
Comment from : @jeffhabib6673

I’ve got fairly thick hands, and my pinky is really stumpy shortbrMakes certain chords impossible to play because my skeleton prevents me from bending in the way that it should when playing a guitar brI’m so jealous watching some you (more reedy thin and elongated people) who can play chords without a problem brThere’s a chord I really battle to play - the D6 chord brI’ve been playing since 1994, and I still can’t get it 🤣brSo frustrating brI’ve found ways around it using a different chord but it’s just not the same brbrCheck out Dominik Miller’s shape of my heart He uses the D6 brGrrrrrr
Comment from : @Domzdream

Thank you, you exude patience, knowledge and common sense I am just beginning this journey for myself, to relax and have fun learning something new that I have wanted to do for quite some time Thank you for the motivation
Comment from : @jerrymckissen1617

I know this is a pointer video, but Couldn’t help but appreciate this man’s multi shot angles the multiple camera set up makes the video appear higher in quality also how the scenery changes from time to time, and the lighting… phenomenal Not to mention how great these tips were, keep it up brother❤️✌️
Comment from : @marcustorrez9278

Your a funny guy brother and thank you for this lesson 🙏🏾
Comment from : @Villykatagmailcom

Haha Paul, the "roast me in the comments" bit gave me a good chuckle For some reason i assume you're dutch and i can relate to your cringing at your skaterboy-alto teenage self That style was such a fad over here in my teenage years I'm now 34 and just starting out learning the guitar and have to say your content is invalueable Thank you!

Comment from : @poster_nbason3818

Rythm is so important, i toom way too long to really practice rhythm Something that really helped me want to practice rythm more was purchasing ez drummer 3 for my daw, having good drums to play with makes it so much funner to practice rythm, and time signatures If you already have a studio with a daw and studio moniters Ez drummer was such a game changer for me, it makes riff writing and even just practicing so much more enjoyable
Comment from : @brycemooreguitar

You killed me with that reference to "The Office" 😂😂😂
Comment from : @albanberaud3952

Hey Paul, I've recently picked up my guitar for the first time in over a decade so I'm basically starting from scratch, and my kid's 5th bday is coming up in a few months so I was hoping you could point me to a tutorial to play Happy Birthday(and maybe others) in the style you played Twinkle Twinkle at the end of this video with the chords and melody I haven't had any luck searching around myself, so if you could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it immensely for your help making kids birthday extra special
Comment from : @VenomVsTRex

You lost me on music theory@! I had that in elementary school but as a senior I’m so emerged in arpeggios and fingerpicking and some scale work that music theory and learning the fretboard seems impossible when cognitive issues wane and speaking as an artist, this music part of my life may have to be something i just enjoy till i leave this earth verses accomplish excellence as you youn’ens do Thanks for grace
