5 Songs From the 90s That You MUST LEARN To Play On Guitar

[@actarusgoldo9812]

Thanks, this is real added value in my opinion 👍

[@FrankPersico]

thank you so much for the generosity!. cheers!

[@1234lar]

You sing pretty good i play but no way can sing at the same time

[@AMinorCaseOfBlues]

I am always amazed at people's capacity to share information for the betterment of others. This is a perfect video for this topic. Most people just want to hear the songs they recognize and when someone says, "play a song", this little bag of goodies is a great set of crowd pleasers.

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks so much. All the best to you

[@Barabus-yx2cn]

You do realize they get paid don't you? Some of them get paid a LOT.

[@mikeofarvada]

Your voice is just fine. Your channel is entertaining and the lessons are great. Bravo sir.

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks so much..I appreciate it

[@uncoiledfish2561]

I normally cringe any time I hear someone sing any Nirvana song. His was very acceptable.

[@michaelriver1141]

Great video. I appreciate the format of you giving us the “ideas” and not just a tutorial. Also I enjoy how it’s like I’m in the room with you and it’s a conversation rather than just a video. Great video!!!

[@FrankPersico]

thanks so much.

[@philmorbey1827]

Hi this is the first video I have found with you. I like how you break things down to allow a player to interpret songs for themselves!

[@FrankPersico]

Dude I appreciate that. Thanks for commenting

[@Tobydog1125]

I was 30 seconds in and immediately hit the subscribe button. I want to start playing again but I'm having a huge cervical spine surgery on 10/15/24 (it'll be my 32nd overall) and currently can't use my left arm. Your channel is going to be an excellent launching pad for me when I recover. Thank you for being such an outstanding teacher, paesan!

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks for the kind words and I wish you all the best with your surgery. We will be here for ya when you recover :)

[@DoubleA3]

@Tobydog1125 Hey man, how did your big surgery go? Hope you are doing well!

[@Tobydog1125]

@DoubleA3 Thx for asking. Surgery went well. Lot bigger than we thought. About a 12" incision and a lot of nerve damage. I have paralysis in my left hand now but it should come back over time. Only 2.5 weeks since the operation so one day at a time. Thx again for asking. Much appreciated!

[@Tobydog1125]

@DoubleA3 and needless to say, there won't be any guitar playing for a long time. Didn't have the paralysis before the surgery so I'm really bummed

[@seamusohoulihan8076]

Stay positive, its going to come back.

[@wallacenock7423]

Frank as a guitarist of any years I am so happy I have found your channel and am learning so many new things. If you had a teaching book I would happily purchase it. I am also a looper but have made it so complicated and now you have shown me such a far. better way of looping and what to loop. Please do more loop tutorials

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks so much. I appreciate it. I will make more loop tutorials in the future for sure!!👍

[@Dallas-Rife-UDX-347-Tennessee]

Finally , my KZbin algorithm been paying attention . Never saw your channel until this suggestion popped up . I really appreciate the video . I’ve been thinking about getting serious with my acoustic guitar that’s been collecting dust the last 5 years This is exactly what I want , to be able to play songs I like just for me , while listening along and playing . I just hit the sub button Thanks and hopefully I will follow up on this encouraging inside voice that keeps telling me to get my guitar off the stand and get busy playing again and actually learn something besides the same few chords I learned 30 years ago

[@FrankPersico]

Welcome! You're in the right place. I’m glad this video inspired you.

So glad I found this channel...as I'm a beginner/intermediate acoustic player and I guess people say u can learn easily from certain people.....I caught on to the way u explain things quick and will be doing some strumming now man .....thanks....I honestly feel stuck in a rut and any fwd progress feels impossible to me at the moment but I keep on practicing regardless I know nothing is just handed to ya in this world u gotta work for it....some damn clean playing too man! Love me some hootie!

[@FrankPersico]

Glad I could help! You got this! Keep practicing. It's a long journey and worth every minute. If you ever wanted to book a one on one for any reason to work on a specific problem area send me an email [e-mail]

This is really great, Frank! I’ve been trying to figure out a good rhythm for Santeria for a while and I think you’ve got it right here.

[@FrankPersico]

Glad it was helpful! Sometimes you have to take certain liberties when you strip a song down and find a groove that works for you. Even if it’s a compromise. Thanks for the comment

[@johnmcelroy7726]

I just love your truth about what the normal folks party with and not what so called guitar players think😂 im 69 and play that what i love to see people havein fun

That's awesome! Good luck with it. You can do it!

[@frankthetank2076]

Good riddance is one of the songs that people of that generation wanted to learn to play guitar and sing along! I am a bit older, but I picked that one and I love it! I didn't know Santeria, I will give it a listen! Great Video, cheers, Frank from germany!

@@FrankPersico Must admit, I think it's a terrible dirge. The Oasis song I think works really well is "Half the World Away". It also reminds people in the UK of a very popular TV programme which used it as a theme (The Royle Family)

I find if you pick one of the other popular oasis songs people go mad for it. Wonderwall can be hit or miss, unless everyone's already plastered.

I like that you included little tips on clicking out on your looper. I’m never gonna play live acoustic gigs but this is helpful info, worth knowing even for a dorm room strummer, that most creators don’t include. Excellent vid. Btw that Green Day song was the first I ever learned on my Guitar Center Washburn beater. Such memories. I didn’t get to Wonderwall until like song 5.

[@freddyfriis305]

perfect best guitar video I've seen in a long time on youtube for self-taught guitarists understood in the way that you teach yourself to play through youtube and your ear card precise instruction you provide the tool for how to make it its basic form you can so easily get into the groove of rhythm and chord changes and forget why one would want to learn a song by heart and can sit down and play with a melody once you know your basics, you easily get absorbed by theory and people like Rick Beato and hit a wall where you can't absorb and continue the journey you really set out on with his instrument nice for me personally to be kicked back so that you can collect your knowledge and skills after a long break and just say fuck I can play an instrument without being joe stiff w srv but just you and smile a little fantastik video tunsen thank you brother

As someone who cut his teeth on 80s hair metal, where the playing was technically far far more complicated, I can play all these songs with both hands tied behind my back. But This statement is not to brag, it is only to put in to context and set up my next statement, that is, as someone who is qualified to assess, such things, YOU are an excellent teacher. I clicked on your video from curiosity to see what these must learn songs from the 90s are, and I watched the whole video just because I enjoyed your presentation. You are a great teacher.
