Okay so as a beginner, you will get this a lot, learn chords, scales, music theory, but also bring in some fun don't just learn that, learn covers of your favorite song, try to learn by ear after 2-3 months of playing. Scales will help you find chords this is why scales are important cause it helps you find what key you are in. But again at the end of the day just have fun when not practicing.

The struggle with Bohemian Rhapsody was so relatable. Thanks for showing the imperfect attempts, it's important that people see that. Having said that, I have no idea how you progressed so far in 3 months without having your fingers fall off. You're doing full bends, slides, hammer-ons and pull-offs, which should have destroyed a beginner's fingertips multiple times over. Did you have to take days off to let your fingers heal?

@@Vam3lzhappy belated bday, how was ur first three months?

[@NestofWeasels]

I started studying classical guitar (…actually, flamenco) at the age of thirteen with no prior musical training whatsoever. So, only nylon strings and my fingers were cut and bleeding all the time. I still have a callous on the tip of my third finger that I have to sand with a 320 grit sanding sponge before I play my electric guitars, today! By the time I was fifteen, I was starting to transition to electric guitars.

[@NestofWeasels]

I suspect the “secret” to Meike’s progress is due to a number of things: First and foremost, her violin experience - - the ear training alone was a big advantage when she started guitar. And, the violin slowly built up the skin thickness on her fingers. She probably had a lot less down time because of trauma to her left hand than most of us did. She also probably paid a lot more attention to things like timing and posture (…although, admittedly, her posture is not all that great in her videos). To be a good musician you have to embrace timing and that can be pretty boring when you’re a student. I could gig and knock out three chords all night when I was a teenager but after I learned about syncopation, I was pretty much ruined as a rhythm guitarist.

[@samrexgc5814]

I started my guitar journey when I was 9-10, it's been 6-7 years since I began, from a self-taught guitarist to another, you're doing absolutely fantastic!

[@sadkebab]

Amazing job for just 3 months! As a guitarist with 15 years or so of experience I think I have few tips that may help you a lot if you didn't fix them already since its a bit old of a video :) - The way you hold the pick is weird, kind like you are holding a pen, which makes picking the strings a much harder task that what it could be and builds a lot of tension. - Don't be shy to use your pinky in the fretting hand during solos, it may take a bit to make it strong enough but it helps a lot into flowing a bit more confortably through the keyboard. - You are already starting with a strong sense of rhythm, which for most guitarist it takes years of work to get to this point (I image you have a solid background in other instruments or dance or something idk). You can get quite good results in a year or so if you focus properly on hand posture, tension management and foundamental techniques like picking (upstrokes, downstrokes, alternate picking, economy picking), muting strings (for noise and for effects like palm muting), bending, hammer-ons, pull-offs and arpeggios... better if with the help of a teacher, but to be fair there are some youtube channels who have enough content about it to make a teacher redundant if you have enough discipline

If I may ask, do you have a guide or plan on what to learn next? I'm a beginner and I feel like i'm stuck after learning a few songs and basic strumming patterns and a few chords/power chords..

@@blursedd yup metronome and just start with short intro soloey bits like at the start of wish you were here, it was my first solo and I learned it on acoustic guitar but I can still remember it to this day and it definitely helped get basic techniques in place like bends (horrible on acoustic guitar), pull offs and hammer ons, a little bit of vibrato aswell, just find the value in very short solo bits that you like, it feels less daunting and it helps a lot

[@sarai6674]

I keep asking my boyfriend to teach me but I keep losing motivation if he’s not there. Seeing you start a song (specifically the rhapsody solo), work your way up to doing it well and then seeing the look of pride and satisfaction and pride is really motivating, thank you!

[@RatPits]

Amazing progress, took me much longer, probably was less dedicated to it. Had my guitar for 10 Years and last year decided to get some private lessons. Still doing them today. I must say the awesome feedback of my teacher really helped me improve a lot. Some feedback was all i really needed to get started and knowing i was doing it right and not teaching myself something while i am probably playing it totally wrong. But anyway your self-taught guitar progress is really great! Keep playing and you'll always be improving!

[@stavanski5083]

ive been learning guitar for 2 years im 16 and self taught in my first 4 months i was able to do guitar for my advanced higher music exam, what im saying is if you enjoy playing guitar you will progress faster dont force yourself to play if you don want to play listen to music you like and then try play that if you want. Simotaniously your music taste and guitar skill will increase and because its all about enjoyment and wonder of the guitar community and generosity from online teachers and tutorial channels that make beginners into professionals im only just a 2 year player and i can confidently say im at the intermediate stage because of my excessive hours of just having fun on guitar playing along to backing tracks and feeling cool keep up the work and i hope for anyone whos a beginner to take my advice and adapt it remotley into their practice by not making it a chore but a hobby

I have been playing guitar for five years and I can tell you that your progress in three months is very good in your second month you were already playing crazy train in my first two months I was barely playing a chord hahaha, congratulations on your great progress, I recommend you playing blues will help you a lot. 🤟🤟 saludos desde mexico

[@Meikedanielle]

Thank you so much! I will surely look into blues :)

[@jimijay9323]

Blues does help a lot and it's the basis for most genres but if you plan on getting into more modern prog and metal and mathrock-y songs, be advised that it feels like another language so I would recommend you just learn blues and stuff but start gravitating towards the style you want to have pretty early on because when you have 5 years of blues and rock experience and you start learning prog rock and metal and mathrock it's quite complicated

[@jimijay9323]

Great video and amazing progress in 3 months! I'd like to point out something to maybe help beginner guitar players avoid being discouraged. In the video you can notice how for example Crazy Train sounded a lot better than the Bohemian rhapsody solo but was recorded before. And this is something you will encounter often during your learning curve in guitar, you get good like really good and then you try something new or something different and it won't sound great but it isn't because you're getting worse at the guitar it's simply like learning a new language. Say for example you learn Jimi Hendrix and you get to a point where you can improvise pretty decent solos and medleys of his songs, then you start getting into Polyphia or Jason Richardson and you can't play the 1st 3 bars of a song... It's literally like learning a new language so don't get discouraged if you feel like you're getting bad or that you aren't getting better, it's absolutely normal and you aren't by any means getting worse because you improve with practice as you can see the end result of the Bohemian rhapsody solo which is great by the way!

[@devictor9486]

Advice that genuinely made me see faster progress when learning the acoustic guitar, which applies to all instruments; be consistent. Don't pick your instrument twice a week and practice for hours straight, instead, try to fit in at least a few minutes of practice every day. An example of how much that changed for me, a week ago, before applying consistent practice (and that with months of inconsistent practice), I still had some issues with finger placement, picking and moving my hand across frets without looking down to the arm. That will also build confidence, which helps tremendously when learning new things.

Me and you picked up guitars exactly ONE day apart form each other! I'm also a self taught player and I think your progression is amazing. Keep up the good work! :)

[@andrewcharlton4053]

As someone returning to the guitar after a very long hiatus, I'd be curious to know how much time you put aside to practice. Your early growth is so impressive to me. Actually, playing Queen solos in two months is astounding wtf.

[@tribalcasttv5226]

i just wanna let you know, this video and your progress gave me quite the joy to watch. good job!

[@blvvdyrose7961]

you're just living my dream since I was 8.. (i'm 16 and still wishing for an electric guitar)

[@cycloidgamma127]

IMO, this is the magic of learning guitar, especially self taught ppl, you play in your own way, weird picking grip, slight mistakes in tone and timing, growing calluses and so on, then you improve and realize you can play easier if you do this, you can play better if you do this, your calluses aren't that obvious anymore that your fingers look normal but they're very hard at the tip, until you look like an advanced guitar player. you play like textbook style guitar or something and ppl will ask if you took music lessons and you feel good saying "no, im self taught".

[@briskstate9673]

This is completely unrealistic and she had previous experience. If you are watching this do not be discouraged. Her "1 week" mark is what most people can expect to achieve in a year. Lmao get real.

[@legendary7657]

Either very talented or previous experience! Cause I can say from experience learning songs like that are not achieved in 3 days. Rather a week of practice!

[@Zero0.9]

Any tips for a beginner? I just got an electric guitar 2 days ago and I only learned like 10 seconds of some songs, my left fingers won't listen to me😭.

[@legendary7657]

@@Zero0.9 go slow with what you're playing and try to move your fingers into the shape of chords or picking just move them nothing else build up a muscle memory and strength and learn the easy chords cause you can play a lot of song with them!

[@briskstate9673]

@@legendary7657 The reason guitar cannot be rushed especially as a beginner no matter how fast you pick things up is because it times alot of time and dedication to build up the muscle memory, rhythm, endurance, and proper form. Seeing these videos of people pick up a guitar and within a month they can play full songs well is just completely bs

[@justin6681]

Ehhhhhhh idk seven nation army is a day thing lol

[@djdillon2750]

This is awesome! I just picked up my guitar again this past month. I am trying to learn power chords right now. Freaks was also the first song I taught myself so that was cool to see :) very inspiring.

[@ilirx1509]

I started off as a self taught guitarist slightly before the pandemic hit, and in 3 months there is absolutely no way I could bend a note as accurately as you did (most of the time pahaha), I'd say my biggest tip, which is very obvious of course, is to not fall into the trap of playing a piece that youre learning all the way through each and every time you practice it. Take the smallest snippets and go at PAINFULLY slow speeds, I mean painfully slow. Additionally, what i've recently found to be very very VERY useful is dissecting a new piece that I learn, and see why it actually works over the chords. CAGED is a gift sent from the heavens so take your time to learn that too! And of course... don't play stairway to heaven in a guitar store :D

[@shiroimitsune7314]

As a guitar player myself, this is pure progress

[@yournadaline]

I am from New York and currently 16 y/o. I am playing guitar since I was 7. 9 years of experience in total. But YOU GIRL!!! I must say you have talent. I know I am late for this comment. But just want to let you know, you are extraordinary. Keep it up sweetie!

[@LitRandomness]

as someone who is about a month in and just learning to play Come As You Are, holy shit you are a natural

[@guitarplayer1495]

your timing was really good starting out when you were playing to drums, well done! also another note, you've progressed really well, can't imagine what you look like now. i've been playing for 2 years almost, it's awesome to see people really enjoying the instrument. also you learned crazy train!!!! if you wanna impress someone you play that. it sounds fast. teehee.

[@robotomo4249]

You've achieved more in 3 months than I could ever have. I would love to hear your playing now seeing as this video was posted 8 months ago! If this is just the beginning of your guitar journey then imagine was you could achieve in just 1 year, let alone 5, 10 or 20 years into the future! These types of videos keep popping up in my recommended and I love it, it's great to see people progress so far in such a short time. Also they almost always play the bohemian rhapsody solo.

[@anastasisyaaa]

[@das.ruderboot]

in the comments she said she played 6 years of violin prior... she probably knows theory already and has strong fingers, cause violin is the hardest instrument ever. Don't get fooled by these progress videos, people only post it if they know they're good and will get lots of views. But what they don't tell you is that it's not their first instrument. Only if you scroll through comments for 10 minutes. Anyways, don't be hard to yourself. Guitaring is never ending learning and someone who never touched a guitar can expect her results after 1 year

[@abib2325]

Girl- I've been playing for about 2 years now and your like at my level wow wow wow... I think I've found a new source of inspiration well doneee

[@viawalter]

theres no way you just picked up a guitar and did that!! I started around 3 weeks ago and i still havent gotten the hang of moving frets and strings that well, good job.

[@ilikemen996]

dude thats really good ! i've been playing self taught for 9 months but only had serious progress 4 months in ! amazing work

[@kennethnick3213]

Learning from KZbin guitar lesson videos is not self taught.

[@josephgarcia9320]

Brooo, this is dope. I’ve learned and studied percussion instruments for many years and just recently I’ve decided to make the jump from percussion to strings (guitar) and so far it’s been hard but this just motivated me to push harder 🙌🏻🔥 good job!

[@electricfishfan7159]

Dude, same!

[@internetlappen1410]

omfg that solo at the end was worth to go with u through all that stages....well done Girl, keep rocking!!!!

[@hannah3970]

This is amazing!!! I’ve been “playing” acoustic for 4-5 years but only just recently learned how to play with a pick and also learned bends, which is pitiful hahaha. To be fair, when I first started I was pretty young, didn’t know many songs, and only interested in learning simple chords, picking patterns, and strumming with my fingers. Now, I’m taking it more seriously. I’m gonna buy an electric for Christmas and start learning rock solos and finally commit to learning for real. Thanks for this video, it was very motivating for me :)

[@hannah3970]

(I also was not interested in rock music at all but recently have gotten into it, so that’s a huge factor. I only wanted to play simple pop/indie or R&B.)

[@kintokigintoki9923]

This is some excellent progress! Started off with an amazing guitar and are continuing with it! Keep up the good work 👍

[@julesrules6570]

Mad respect for learning all that in 3 months

[@notlarry4979]

that last one from bohemian rhapsody was amazing

[@thaliafuqua1579]

I’m just getting into it and man did this help, I can’t wait to get to your level! 😊learning how to read the notes right now, starting with scales. But this just helped me realize how amazing learning an instrument is. You can play music that you love with your own hands 😮 I know that sounds obvious, it’s just so amazing to me ❤

[@Meikedanielle]

Good luck!!

This is CRAZY progress, you were already playing so well by the second day!!

[@videosibueno]

was not expecting the end solo, incredible progress!

I got my first Guitar like 4 Days ago and I am so hyped to learn to play it! :D Great Video, Bohemian Rhapsody is just soooooo sick!

[@ThaArabScarab]

That Arctic Monkeys riff was really impressive!

[@isadorabbbb]

GIRL U'RE STUNNING!! LOVED IT

[@JustAGuest_JAG]

Sounds nice, been play acoustic for 4 years, and ended up getting an electric like two years ago. Haven't really made much progress with it, but I just now started to learn more riffs and progressions using the whole fret board. Can't wait to be able to jam out more on the electric!
