Thanks, but no! Sa te apuci sa predai folosind o chitara cu indicatoare de poziție nestandard, fara punctele clasice, greu de inteles pentru incepatori, inseamna lipsa de pedagogie. Trec mai departe, nu vreau un asa profesor. Un bun muzician nu inseamna si un bun pedagog. Critica e constructiva, sper sa fie de folos.

Balance is a great album.

Your explanations, while understandable for an expert person, are too confusing for the average self taught guitar player.

7:08 actually it's flat 7, not a major one.

Foarte bine explicat, merita un Subscribe.

Why would you pick something up to quit, and on top of that why would you ever suggest for someone not do something. It's a loser mentality to give up because it's hard, life's hard. Everyday gives you a chance to learn more and more, how did any guitar virtuoso, athlete, or anyone in their profession get good at something; persistence. Instead of being unconfident and fearful, we should all step directly into the thing that is difficult and challenging for us to grow, unless the person doesn't care so much to put in any effort which is directly stating that you will not become talented in anything. Instead of trying to discourage people with a PRS in hand, how about make videos that support people and make them grow. But then again, the more people give up, the easier it will be for me and the people who persist to follow in the footsteps of success and triumph. If it's want you want, take it and use everyday to your advantage

I quit because I never got any better. Three years of lessons and practicing every day and I still never played a complete song , start to finish, at full speed. I just don't have the ability to change chords at anything approaching a competent level. No amount of practice seemed to make a difference. It was not down to a lack of effort . I finally got so discouraged I had to quit because I was wasting money on lessons and I felt like I was wasting my teachers time. I still have all my gear and think about trying it again, but then I remember how frustrated I was. I still watch guitar videos on KZbin because I love the guitar. But I know any attempt to play it will end up with the same results.

so please quit, do it for yourself ..

Cosmin this is all correct im 74 been playing now for 17 years im on U tube I played when I was a teenager then lost interest for what you said im much better now

0. nu mai exista motivare, nimeni nu mai foloseste chitari in muzica de azi. Poate cel mult niste elemente/pluginuri MIDI prin Cubase sau Ableton. Implicit nu mai ies bani din asta. Plus ca oamenii asociaza in mod imbecil chitara cu rockul satanist, deci nu mai este cool din anii '90. E dureros, mai ales ca chitarile s-au ieftinit foarte mult, gasesti chitari decente de la 100E in sus ... 0.1 - elementele de chitara din muzica de azi se pot canta live pe clapa, deci este mult mai eficient sa inveti cu pianul mai bine. 1.dureaza - depinde ce vrei cu chitara, poate dura 3 zile sau o viata. 2.obositor - adevarat, mai ales ca sunt unii instructori care sfatuiesc copiii sa invete pe o chitara acustica, ca asa e mai bine. wtf. 3.greu de invatat - depinde ce vrei sa inveti si ce profesor gasesti. 4. costisitor - adevarat, dar mult mai ieftin ca acum 10-15 ani. 5. te izoleaza - asta e un lucru bun, de fapt :)))) 6.trebuie disciplina si rabdare - adevarat 7. nu e ca in filmele cu Batman - adevarat, trebuie sa intelegeti ca faima nu inseamna nimic, te poti trezi cancelat doar ca ai zis ceva aiurea la un interviu sau ai pleznit un pustan prea insistent. 8. nu mai ai timp pt altceva - nu exista altceva, toate trupele mari au investit 100% din timp in asta, nu exista planul B. 9. nu se aliniaza cu obiectivele personale - vezi pct 8. 10. nu este pt tine - poate nu ai gasit profesorul potrivit, sau artistul potrivit.

Mai facut sa ma simt prost Cred ca mai bine faceai un video despre cum sa te ti de chitara 😅

Thoamne, putin putin mai rar, se poate? 😅

Hi Cosmin, thanks for this video! I think that many people don't realise what's the amount of work that is required to become an actual instrumentalist (as of course your remarks qualify not only to guitar but to other instruments as well). I've been an amateur guitar player for about 15 years now - I mostly focused on easy popular songs to play at bonfires etc. It was mainly caged chords + tabs if melodies were easy to learn. I spent HUNDREDS and maybe even THOUSANDS of hours to master playing around 20-30 songs - it was possible only because I had a hell lot of time due to being a teenager without any specific duties except learning math and stuff. My biggest "successes" are nothing else matters and stairway to heaven and it was a huge struggle to coordinate playing and vocals. During my adult life I had to limit the time spent on playing and now I almost forgot ~80% of stuff that I learned. Of course it's going to be easier to come back than when starting fresh but still... So around 2 years ago (a guy in his 30s here) I decided that I'd like to come back to regular playing and maybe even elevate it to "I know music theory and can improvise" level. I also would like to compose my own music and be able to produce it. Man, it's hard. I have a full time job, I have friends, family, I do sports... I can barely find 2 hours a week to practice and I feel that my journey will take years to complete... And have in mind that CAGED chords + barres are already there, picking/fingering skills are already there, some simple music theory knowledge is already there! For the last 2 years my playing was mainly struggle to practice and "find my way", and sometimes I feel like it's only due to the fact that playing music is one of the most beautiful things that exist and I have a huge amount of experience that makes me moving forward and not resigning. HOWEVER I think that not everybody needs to become an instrumentalist. You can buy yourself a 100 bucks guitar and learn "Knocking on Heaven's Door". Then "Sweet Home Alabama", then "Shape of You" and so on. No melodies, just simple chords. I don't think it would require much time. Owning a classical guitar could make it even easier! I'd leave electric guitar for some time as it's really more demanding (smaller frets, tougher strings, more gear required and basically all the other reasons that you mentioned). Spend a year playing this way, then find yourself a teacher to to have regular touchpoints that push you forward. I could be a little more pleasant...

That's lazy clickbait. Maybe list some reasons why you should quit KZbin.

This video is absurd. How many people watching this video are going to say: OK, I'll quit. Chances are this video might be useful for those who need an excuse for why they already quit, long before watching this video. Ah... yeah... it was the lunar cycle.. that's why I quit.... yeah, that's it. For starters, guitar does not take that much time to learn basic stuff on it, AND if that's all you're interested in doing (perhaps accompanying yourself on guitar, with some simple chords, while you sing) it won't take that much time to do it. And once you have those basic chords down, it only takes playing, maybe once a week, or once every two weeks, to remember and play those basic chords. Of course if you want to become an expert, yes, it will take dedication and maybe an hour of practice, a day. But, it's not going to take up your whole day. Then the cost: Give me a break, guitar playing is one of the cheapest forms of entertainment, when considering the hours of enjoyment you get out of playing, relative to the cost of the equipment. Because of mass production, you can get a decent guitar for a couple of hundred bucks, and an amp for a couple of hundred bucks, too. Some amps are even cheaper than that. This is not an extravogant expenditure. For whatever reason, this guy is trying to discourage people. Go get a guitar. If you play it twice a month, you'll still have fun with it. If you get into it, and play regularly, you also have a lot of fun with it. The thing that I think is most accurate in this video is that practicing is a solo activity. That's true. You'll automatically seek your own level of dedication, just out of how you'll feel when playing. You'll automatically find your own comfort zone, that will tell you how much time you want to spend on it. Don't listen to other people. Go get a guitar, and see how it feels, playing it. It's like golf: You'll know if you want to do it just based on how you feel when you're doing it. You can get a decent acoustic guitar, now a days, for a hundred bucks. Go check out the Idyllwild guitar by Monoprice, or the guitars by Orangewood. And if you want an electric guitar, go look at the Squier guitars by Fender (look at the Debut or the Sonic, both by Squier.)

What a good timing for this video! Thanks

And always find people that can teach you something new <3

Well.. guess I'm a bassist now xDDD

Well that was unhelpful

I adore locrian and I'm its first protector

why make an educational video in drop d ?

You should do some lesson videos bro

very nicely done! Im slowly learning guitar so I appreciate the complexity and effort that is required for this. Im also a fairly recent Periphery fan. Thanks for posting

Flamenco vs Middle Eastern = beautiful and evil at the same time =D

bine structurat clipul si clar explicat, postura e extrem de importanta, fara pozitie corecta nu reusesti sa inveti nici un instrument, in plus te mai dor si incheieturile daca nu stai corect, obosesti, te enervezi si te lasi de instrument

Salut! Nu ar trebui si notele de pe care se incepe bend-ul sa faca parte din gama? Spre exemplu, daca incep cu un semi-ton inainte de prima pozitie, nu incep de pe o nota din gama. Sau asta e doar o varianta de a adauga note din afara gamei, just to spice it up, ca oricum nu ele sunt cele accentuate?

CLEAN!!!!

One thing that confused me was at 7:08 you mentioned the "C" is a "major 7" in D Phrygian, but isn't C# the major 7 in D? I always thought there was a flat 7 in the Phrygian Dominant scale.

Great video, my dude 🤙

Try to listen 311 with octave

Sincer nu mai stiu de ce am inceput, probabil sa fiu cool, sau ca stia Ovidiu iar eu nu, si a fost ceva de competivitate. De ce ul actual e mai complicat. Cand il aflu revin. Momentan merg pe faptul ca e fun, ma relaxeaza(si enerveaza cand nu imi iese ceva), si am ceva care fac doar pentru mine, nu pentru copil, nevasta, munca etc. Backing tracks and endless noodling for the win. Mersi pentru videourile pe zona psihologica a lucrurilor. Ah si pentru cine nu a facut coaching la chitara cu Cosmin, eu zic give it a try. O sa va placa tare. Mersi! 🙏

If D is 1 and 5 is X and water is H2O if he hollers let him go, eeny meeni miney mo.

Great idea. Ask us tio give a thumbs up B4 we know if it sux or not.

wow

Awesome video!!!

De ce? Pentru ca in sfarsit sentimentele pe care le simteam puteau fi exteriorizate prin muzica. Chitara mi s-a parut doar cea mai eficace unealta de a face asta. Habar nu aveam totusi ca vor fi atat de multe obstacole pe parcus. Music is hard, mai ales cand ajungi la trupe foarte tehnice 😅

Just what I needed❤

I can totally relate to this :))))) Happy belated birthday, and keep up the good work!

Genial 😂

Hi Cosmin, do you still do one on one guitar lessons ?

You're a big Marty Friedman fan, right? Those bends, in phyrgian, are so characteristic of his sound, the way you're playing them. I'm a big Marty fan too.

Havah Nagila . Miserlou .

9:53

your eyes are a little smokey and I think you might be battling an opiate addiction.

Love it!

hey cosmin its good to see you. I started my guitar journey with you on GMC. my name is sumit . i don't know if you remember or not.

You're unnecessarily complicating it. It should just be the Bb scale starting on the 3rd 3-4-5-6-7-1-2-3. And the second one was simply the Gm scale starting on the 5th 5-b6-maj7-1-2-b3-4-5. That's so much easier to understand. You don't have to learn 7 (14 or 21 including minor) entirely new scales by changing and re-learning half-steps and whole steps all over the place... ARGH!! All you need to do is start major and minor scales on different notes. It's that simple. And don't call it any kind of D scale because it's not. The first one was Bb starting on the 3rd and the other was Gm starting starting on the 5th. Simple as that.
