I bought my guitar a couple of weeks ago and then watched soooo many videos which made me ask myself if I had made a mistake. But when I came across your videos and once again had hope. I'm 68 and grew up during a time when the best music of all time was and still is here. I never intended to be Jimi Hendrix or Joe Bonamossa, but just to be able to play something that would make someone say " I know that song!" Your 1 string songs have made that happen! Pure genius! My goal is to learn House of the Rising Sun by The Animals. Thanks again from a devoted follower. Rick

This is great advice for beginners, and EXACTLY how I started learning to play guitar over 40 years ago. He is basically playing the 1st (root or bass) notes for each song, and not the actual full chords. Now..... if you take your pinky and add a 5th note one string down and 2 frets down from the root note, you have a "power chord." Add a little distortion on the electric guitar and you are off and jamming.. This will work for most of these songs, and hundreds more, and is actually the way most rock and metal songs are played. Then it is on to learning full chords of 3 notes or more. Oh yeah, then those pesky lead scales....lol. It takes a lot of time and practice to become very proficient at the guitar, but this lesson is a great place to start.

@D B Cooper You are welcome. I am still here, and I am always glad to help an up and coming fellow guitarist. I have been playing, teaching, gigging and luthering since I was 12 years old (I am 53 now). The day I stop playing guitar will be the day I die (I hope anyway). There are actually lot of good guitar players and instructors on You Tube. Unfortunately, most of them are here to show off, brag about their million dollar guitar collections or confuse people by teaching with, and selling, over complicated music theory lessons (theory is really not that hard to understand with a little effort). If you want to follow some very knowledgeable and proficient guitar players/teachers, check out Rick Beato or Steve Stine. There is also an amazing young lady guitar player on You Tube that is a great teacher as well. Her name is Ayla Tesler-Mabe. Her channel is called "Guitareo." Some people call Ayla the "Bob Ross" of guitar teaching because she is so soft spoken and patient. Keep on playing and don't give up. It can be frustrating at times, but the more you practice and the better you get, the more you will WANT to play. Take care and keep on jammin'. 🎸🎵🎸🎼🎸

I have created dozens and dozens of original songs playing this way. I never thought I would be able to play guitar, but playing in this way has enabled me to add guitar to my repertoire. So if anybody is feeling discouraged about learning guitar, I can confirm that it is possible to create music without having to learn how to play chords or use all of your fingers. I have been playing this way for about four years and this is the first time I have seen anyone else play this way. I don’t feel as much of a weirdo now. 😃

Thank you, thank you , so much . I been trying for awhile to learn a few notes , song ,well just anything that would sound like a song but no luck at all. Now I watched you and I am already playing these 15 songs and my friends and family are like is that smoke on the water and ect. I tried to watch and learn with many videos and a few of my friends that are great guitarist but nothing. So I again want to express my thanks to you and would like anyone who is having a hard time to see your video, as you are most best awesomeness teacher ever. Love your video.

Greeting from the Aussie rock chick living in Germany. Thank you so much! I have been trying to learn to play the guitar on and off for years (I'm 38). The biggest problem has been that during my teens years both of my brothers played (both still do) and didn't have the patience to teach me. Nowadays I am happily married to a fantastic musician (guitar and piano) but it's still similar situation, he loses patience. Plus I feel he tries to get me to run before I can walk. I absolutely understand their frustration, I am a teacher myself and know how hard it can be to teach someone. So I have decided to stack off the guys all together and try doing it by myself! I have leant some proper cords in the past (think I remember them) but I think getting a few easier riffs under my belt might help me stick with it and learn/teach myself more. Once again thanks very much, and you've got yourself another sub :) Jo

a lot of these riffs are in the right key but some unofficial sheet music might not be (Smoke on the Water often gets simplified to start on E instead of G). It's right in this video but still not exactly the same as the original riff which actually used 2 strings together.

If a beginner can't play smoke on the the water or come as you are.they might as well stop try a flute better yet use your old stinky breath recorder you got in middle school.those are the very first songs all beginners learn if can't play smoke our come you might as well try a new hobbie or just keep playing guitar hero.
