[@HumblePupp]

a tip for anyone that struggles with retaining info or muscle memory. when you get the chord right, put down the guitar and close your eyes for a min, when you get the second chord right do the same. when you get a smooth transition, do the same. when you close your eyes after doing a task your brain flashes through the task over and over again, basically doing reps without you having to actually do them and it does it so fast you wont even realise its happening.

Hi Andy, 4 months ago I finally tried this challenge after looking at it for years. It took me about 2 weeks to manage all 10 days and forced myself to try practising each and every day. 4 months later I can't put down my guitar. I just played here comes the sun, Don't look back in anger, Californication and Clocks. I never thought I would be able to do this and enjoy it so much. All thanks to this series. To everybody reading this. Keep pushing! You can do it! The more you try, the more fun it becomes. I believe in you!

[@helenagerstner525]

It’s the I can’t put down my guitar.. for me.. amazing dude thanks for sharing.. how long did your fingers hurt? Thx

@@helenagerstner525 it really hurt for about 2 weeks. After that my fingers were pretty sensitive for about 2 more. After a month I didn't really feel it anymore. It's really funny, I'm 'teaching' my best friend now and he is impressed that my fingers don't get sore. It's so interesting to me that something can become a new standard if you make something a habit

can anyone suggest here songs with only two chords - EMAJOR AND A MAJOR? IT WOULD REALLY BE A BIG HELP

[@chloerudel1333]

It's taken me three days to complete day one. But what I was most struggling with was changing between chords. I would have days where I would sit and just practice that. Making sure my fingers were in the correct position, making sure each string was ringing out. In the beginning I was stressing out that I wasn't picking it up as fast as I thought I should. But once I put that thought aside and focused on the reason I wanted to learn, (My love of music and guitar) I found lots of enjoyment and happiness in the process of learning.

[@twelvesevven4678]

There're thousands upon thousands of songs out there. I can play Sultans of Swing now, which is a big deal to me because I adore the song. But I've learned loads of songs on the road towards that goal, and I promise the satisfaction from learning a song never wears off, no matter what song it is. Keep at it, for sure!

[@Bgtingle]

Chloe, You have tapped into the very first step every guitarist should take: "What is my purpose for playing?" The next step is visualizing what it will look and sound like in the future when you are playing as you desire. This is the key to persisting. Keep your eyes and ears on your purpose for playing.

I'm at the end of day 15 of practicing every day and I'm reviewing all 10 days to see the progress I've made. I can finally switch between these two cords without hesitation 🎉 slowly but surely! But I'm loving every minute of it

[@Mocharoe]

Starting today y'all👍 On 12th April 23 [Day 1] 12th April 40 minutes and I'm already mastering lesson 1! Now I just need to be able to do it without hesitance. 1 day and I've completed lesson 1, now time for lesson 2. [Day 2] 13th April Everything's going well so far! D chord is a little difficult because of how slippery my fingers get but I'll get it eventually. About 20 minutes in and it's all going quite smoothly. Another 20 minutes and i'm already getting better! D is almost easy for me, but I sometimes have to pause for a bit and adjust. Which I will have to practice to not do that all the time. [Day 3] 14th April I can now move onto lesson 3! Actually wasn't as hard, this lesson actually helped me switch chords faster. I should still keep practicing though. I'm moving quicker than I had expected :) 15 minutes of lesson 3, now I can quickly move to lesson 4. Lesson 4 surprisingly isn't as hard! But it's still a bit difficult. Keep trying :) After a while of practicing, I can already move onto lesson 5. Which is really quick! Lesson 5 is so fun!! I'm getting really good at it, I'm making so much progress!! Lesson 5 done. I might do lesson 6 but I'll try a bit of it and then fully practice back on Monday! [Day 4] 17th April Okayokay, back to it! A little demotivated but I have to keep going :) Lesson 6, it's a little difficult but it's very enjoyable! So many new chords, so I might have to make a list of the chords too. Lesson 6 is starting to get easier! I just need to be more speedy, I'm so happy now. Everything is going so well, but I certainly have a REALLY long way to go! I'm getting really good at it now. Depending on when I master it, I can move onto lesson 7 tomorrow. [Day 5] 18th April Alright, starting lesson 7! Things are well! Pretty fun lesson, but sadly my last one for now. I have a vacation that'll take two weeks, so no updates til then! I'm already getting better :) [Day 6] 2nd May Im back from the trip!! Now its time to continue lesson 8. I unfortunately dont have as much time at the moment, but it was fun! I really loved playing the G scale. Singing while playing the chorus is a bit difficult, but i know that needs practice, so overtime, i can achieve that skill! I'll practice lesson 8 a little more tomorrow and continue onto 9! [Little break on 3rd May] Sorry, I may have to discontinue for a bit, but I'll get back to it once everything is settled! My sister got infected with covid and is now occupying the room where the guitar is. I also prefer playing alone, silently, but now that the room is taken, I have no where private to play the guitar. I unfortunately can't continue for about another week, but I promise, I'll keep up! Keep practicing(⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠) [Day 7] 19th May I sincerely apologize for having no updates in a while, this month has been really cramped! But im back at it. Lesson 9, here we go! Everything is fun, it wasnt as hard as i thought. Though, i need to get used to strumming. Especially because i cant find the guitars pick! This day was really fun and i enjoyed it a lot! The days are almost over, im so happy :) [Day 8] 26th May Lesson 10!!!!! Lets gooo!! It was so fun to learn!! It ends up sounding so good at the end. I realy liked this lesson a lot. It did take a lot of attempts, but i managed. So... That should be the end for my journey! Thank you for reading this comment. Good luck on your journey now, dont give up! I hope you'll be a master in guitar one day. I'll make sure I'll be great in the far future!! 🎉🎉🎉 [Extra: 19th August 2024] Hello! I'm back here to say that my journey has been slowing down. Fear not! I'm not here to say this is hopeless, but I suggest you learn music theory, a way better time than learning these blankly without knowledge behind. If you're looking forward to dedicating yourself to this, of course. You'll be able to understand way more. Guitarists are already notorious for being clueless; not even knowing what a semibreve (or whole note) is. Please take the time, wish you the best! I've stopped for quite some time, but I'll attempt to get back on my feet!! I'll come back to these lessons once I've gotten a good grasp on theory.

@@psmylife6832 Well, they do get sore but the pain isn't the pain that I'd be disturbed by! Wanting to play the guitar is a dream and I know that I won't let sore fingers stop me. It'll take some practice, but surely, you'll get the hang of changing chords. For me, it gets a lot better in a few days, so keep going! The soreness will surely be nothing once we both get the hang of it :)) (Also, I'm not sure if ADHD would affect your learning process but anyone can do it! I'm not too educated on ADHD and such, but you can still achieve the skill overtime)

[@hehehe278]

My twin and I got guitars for Christmas in 2018 or 2019, we had them for a year before I started using mine. Covid had shut down school during my 8th grade year and I got a guitar class in the first semester freshman year, the only reason I was allowed to use mine was cuz I had guitar class (the school has a class) and I had to play to pass the class. Otherwise my grandparents would not allow it to be played cuz it was "too loud". After first semester ended, I couldn't play anymore and today I finally remembered that I wanted to tune it and try learning again(I kept forgetting til right before I'd go to bed for about a month). But since I'm not in a class anymore, I feel lost. Plus I graduated in May(early grad tho w/ my twin) so I haven't played in about 3 1/5 years (which is the length of my/twins highschool career).

@@petergriffin383 probably because I never saw any replies. Fingers can move a little faster now, non-barre chords have been fine for months, and now I got the hang of F, my first barre chord.

When I strum the strings don’t make any noise even tho I’m barley putting pressure on the strings. Help

[@housevo330]

I'm hoping that you already solved the problem, but if you haven't here's what the problem is: You need to push much, much harder on the strings for it to ring out. Make it touch the fret and then slightly ease back on it to see the correct amount of pressure you should be putting down.

[@roirunner1357]

This is the first video I've got after typing "Guitar lessons for beginners" on KZbin 1 year ago. I still remember how confusing and weird this was to me when I first started. I decided that I would give at least 5-10 minutes every day on playing guitar and if I'm not feeling like I would want to continue I would just quit. But a few months later I realized that I stopped counting the minutes of my daily excersise and started playing for fun. I remember so many ups and even more downs that almost got me to give up, but I never let myself drop it and today even though I can't say I'm great, I am way way WAY better than what I was when I first started playing.
