For all of my fellow beginners out there - if you come across the bad "I don't feel like playing today" thing, I have an advice for you. Just force yourself to pick up a guitar. That's it :D That did it for me multiple times, I felt tired and really not into it, but the very SECOND I picked up my wooden love, I just couldn't put it back without at least few minutes of practicing. It boosts me with so many nice feelings and so much energy, it's unbelievable. We can do it, I believe in us. :-)

Believe that talent gets you where you want to go and you will never get there. Practice the right stuff, and you WILL get there.

This is a great video, excellent advice. I only offer this as someone who is no more than, at best, an advanced beginner or maybe early intermediate. Relax. Enjoy it. And by that I mean, relax into the basic things described in the video and don't judge yourself. The less worried you are about doing it exactly, the more you'll find yourself leaning into the right way to do it. The guitar just seems to be made that way... the more you relax about, the more you become familiar with it. Like so much I've tried, it seems the less I try to control everything, the easier it all becomes.

Thank you for your tips. I've been holding it like a shovel, I don't tuck the guitar close to my body and i hold it the classical way. When I practiced bar chords, it makes the thumb muscle in my palm hurt (never even knew it existed before). Not only is my thumb twards the top but I'm putting a lot of strain on one finger just to keep everything in place, for a bar chord. I even got better at playing the bar chords in this bad position. Thanks for the correction.

A little acronym to help you with standard tuning: Eddie Ate Dynamite Good By Eddie - EADGBE, easy. After 6 months of teaching myself guitar I can offer some novice advice: number one: don't even breathe on your guitar unless it's tuned. Wood expands when it's warm and contracts when it's cold. These contractions will throw your tuning off. Two: get an inexpensive compression pedal. Compression helps "even out" each note on the guitar and kills some of the unwanted noise generated while playing. Three : make sure you have a guitar pick everywhere! One on top of your amp, one on top the DAC if you use a DAW and maybe fit one in between your guitar strings because the minute you plug in, your going to go looking for a pick.

Thanks, very helpful! I've been practicing about a month now, thumb behind the neck and everything. I've practiced off and on for years and this is the longest I've stuck with it. My calluses are developing, it's quite gratifying. I just keep pushing through even though it still feels crazy unnatural and super challenging as though I'm never going to get this. I've just been determined. So hearing someone say that about how awkward the wrist and everything feels and will feel until it just doesn't anymore was the best advice for me right now. And actually why I clicked on the video, I was thinking it was just me.. Ha! ❤️ So yes! BIG THANKS, Thank you very much!!

I bought a guitar today and went straight to learning chords, the two things I know I've definitely not been helping myself with was wrapping my thumb around the top of the neck, I guess I started doing this as it felt more comfortable as mentioned in the video. The second mistake was the picking technique, I realise I was picking the string and going out with my pick, very handy tips to find out, the other things mentioned in the video was okay with (e.g. using your finger tips to press on the strings) it was just those two I didn't realise were a big no no! Very Helpful video, will remember these tips in the morning when I go for another practice!

Wow your cool haha, I'm thinking on buying a guitar as a hobby just because I really like the sound of them and I think people that play them are awesome. I'm 16 and have never played an instrument in my life. I'm just wondering what price range I should be looking at?

You can get a great entry guitar for under 1k but avoid the crappy $100 ones. Something like a Fender Mexican Stratocaster or Epiphone Les Paul are great value for the money or if you want a metal guitar you can get a decent Schecter or Jackson for $300-600.

Look for ESP-LTDs, Schecters and Yamahas. Avoid guitars with tremolos and especially Floyd roses. You can find a good instrument for 150-250 USD. Avoid cheap brands like Harley Benton.

If I may add: don't be afraid to take a break. In my case the break was like 10 years - by the end of my first stint I hated guitar, was burnt out. Over time this faded and one day I really wanted to do it again, and it was a joy. The skills don't vanish either, it's like getting back on a bike, your body just remembers.

I feel like left handed guitarists have an advantage on the so called 'right-handed guitar', the fretting hand has to have more dexterity and strength than the strumming hand. I'm sure the job of the right hand gets more complicated as you advance, but by then you're a musician and your non-dominant hand gains super powers 😁

Wow, this video has hit home quite hard. I've been playing guitar (on and off) for about 20 years but I don't feel like I'm any further along or any better than I was back then. I feel like I'm stuck with bad habits because I didn't have anyone teaching me and I couldn't afford lessons back then. Bad habits like - my fretting hand feels very stiff and 'glued' to the neck making it hard to move up and down the neck; my index finger has a death grip on the neck so if I try to learn a riff or something, I always start on my index finger so it's difficult to easily move around the fretboard; I do exactly what you describe here when picking - hand moves away from the strings. Thank you for such a blunt and straightforward video, it has made me totally rethink how I'm doing everything - oh, and I'm starting guitar lessons in the next few weeks, first one ever! Back to basics.

I’ve been playing keys for 20 years and am very advanced and I just started tying to learn guitar because it’s still my favorite instrument that always speaks to me but I get so frustrated trying to stretch my fingers to fit certain chords and change shapes so fast. I find myself thinking “this is so annoying how the hell do these guys stretch their hands like that so easily?” Then you reminded us that it feels uncomfortable for everybody until it doesn’t. That was a huge but simple reminder for me. I started playing keys because I was interested and curios and never thought about being great on it but I got better everyday. Just goin to keep practicing and learn the fundamentals because I can get really good tone and recordings just struggle with the chord voicings and find coordination. The funny part is a lot of producers I sent melodies too think I’m a great guitar player but they don’t know I play stuff one string at a time lol

Kurt Cobain expressed his feelings through music. If you wanna listen to perfect play then pick a music program and let it play notes to you. If you like vocals, add some autotune. Music loses its soul and perfect notes are played. You're welcome.

Sorry but to say Kurt didn't have talent is just ignorant. Yeah he wasn't SRV and the likes. But some of his solos like School and stuff are pretty good. He had a great ear for melody. He could play better than people want to admit and was a great song writer. It's not like you can hand some kid a Nirvana songbook and in a month they can play any Nirvana song. Hell half of these "experts" and "pros" can't even get the strumming pattern and miss notes in songs. Smells like Teen Spirit might be 4 chords yet it's butchered soooooo much by people. His solos get butchered as hell too. He was unique and yeah wasnt an amazing technical player but he surely didn't lack talent. And he gets shit on so much by people who haven't even heard most of his better stuff that's not on the radio. The fact inspired so many people to pick up guitars because of his music says enough. For having "no talent" the guy sold a hell of a lot more records than everyone that talks shit, because he knew melody and realized you didn't need to shred solos to make good music. Also was a master of controlling feedback for how fucking loud they played and incorporated it into solos and shit. Just KZitem nirvana covers and you'll find 100s of people butchering the hell out of basic shit like Polly, THATS lack of talent hah.

Skylar O'kane Kurts voice was plenty smooth when he wanted it to be...All Apologies, Something in the Way, Dumb, Polly...He also had a hell of a vocal range. He could have been an amazing singer if he let someone really teach him how to use it better because he was hurting his voice touring so much and screaming night in night out. He tried to take vocal lessons and never went back. Not like it matters he's dead but his vocal range was pretty good, and definitely could of been a lot better.
