Around a decade ago, I inherited my brother's cheap acoustic guitar. Got a teacher, tried to learn over a year but we never clicked and I barely learning anything. After that teacher left due to lack of students and I didn't get another one. Once the high E snapped, I just got done with guitars. Fast forward in the future, got new strings buy haven't yet clicked yet because the cheapo guitar was fighting me. In the middle of covid, took it up again, went through the pain for the 3rd time, later upgraded to a nicer electric guitar and have progressed a lot with online lessons and TABs since then.

Within 4 lessons she had a new guitar. I figured, alright, her parents may be pushovers but at least we can get down to the lessons now...nope!

I'm the self taught one who doesn't have any idea of chords, scales or theory in general. I just think of a song I like, see if I have the skill needed for that, and learn it with Guitar Tabs.

The next one is the "Misirlou - Pulp Fiction (clean notes)" level, which will be followed up by the "Man with the machine gun - Nobuo Uematsu" level. Expecting to be there by the next month.

I was the “failed miserably” type. As a drummer, I was the kid who after 4 lessons was told, “their isn’t anything left for me to teach you.

He still managed to teach a lot to me though, I kinda regret that I didnt spent more effort to learn more from him. He was a Factory worker at that time while gambled money to be a professionalist guitarist and nowadays he's one of the best amongst my country's Jazz Professionalists. He literally made what he was aiming for. Don't be like me as a kid and be eager to learn, even if there are differences in your likes of music.

Sided stepped the pentatonic, with making them learn all the inversions of their minor/majors/dom7/maj7/min7/9ths/maj9/min9/diminished and suspended up the neck vertically and horizontally , and heavy focus on intervals, so that when they learn the pentatonic scale and arpeggios they look at it in much deeper detail.

Just so you know, a lot of this applies to piano students too. (I do play guitar, entirely self-taught.) I took several years of piano and studied classical music composition in college, and today I consider myself a composer, not a performer. Anyway, before my first-ever piano lesson, I knew I wanted to play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, I just loved it so much. So I got a copy of the sheet music. I was able to figure out where all the notes are on the piano. It's pretty repetitive, and easy to play! So at my first piano lesson, I proudly played what I had taught myself over the prior week: the first page and a half of this masterpiece. My teacher said, "Very good, but... do you see those 4 sharps at the beginning of the piece? That's the key signature. It means each time you see one of those notes throughout, you have to play it sharped." In other words, I proudly played the Moonlight Sonata in C MAJOR instead of its intended key, C# minor. "Huh," I thought to myself, "so THAT'S why it sounded funny. I thought the piano was out of tune." You know, that classic telltale sign of a musician blaming not himself but his instrument. (Early starter, me.) Needless to say, when she made me switch to "Teaching Little Fingers to Play," I could no longer say "But I'm way too good for that!" (Felt it in my heart, though!)

[@rylan4795]

I am all of these. And I am damn proud of it. To summarize these students, I practiced for 3 minutes now teach me how to sweep pick

[@CoolestMcGuy]

"The Prodigy", that was me, when getting bass lessons, after i learned guitar

[@rikiishitoru8885]

What about the deaf kid, can't believe you'd leave out such an important minority...

[@lewispothecary5690]

I’m deaf and I play bass guitar, what the difference???

[@jaskierdraven9191]

Love the profile pic.

[@stephenbezo4326]

The look on your face was awesome man! 🤘

[@dwconrad7776]

I subbed when I saw the look on your face @ 2:48! Classic!

[@CDI647]

Guilty confession, I was definitely the "Practice??" student when I took lessons... That GED joke killed me!

[@godlikemusic3762]

“Dude, how do you sweep pick” brings back some of those first beginner lesson memories

[@chriscalebbrizo7901]

I wish I could ever be a student... There's no person who is ever available to teach me.

Nik always says he's not that good at guitar This video literally proves he's a prodigy

[@starrycat6185]

I’m the “trying so hard to learn a single Petrucci solo, and ignoring practicing my scales” Like I’m good at guitar but god Petrucci solos are beyond me.

Were you (badly) playing Death, Spirit Crusher at the beginning?

[@zekethomas3108]

John Hartley nah, it was unholy confessions, of the Black Veil Brides album Knives and Pens after they released Through Struggle

[@legendarysauces]

His voice sounds like colby from sam and colby

[@synnie_2621]

Omg! He does!!

[@Michele-Elise]

Brilliant and accurate! You nailed it Nik!

I have a jazz guitarist for a teacher, but he used to be a huge metalhead so like my first songs were Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath :) He's amazing
