That will be crazy

[@LinkDaGamer]

from what i heard that solo is way easier than it sounds. Still seems imtimidating af, and I started a couple months ago

[@imetators]

I'm proud of you, UKOG! You are doing it the good way. To some of people who asked me to teach them how to play I always said: You can play at the same level as I do. The only difference between you and me is that I've spent 1000 hours just playing my guitar, and you have spent only 10. 1000 hours later you will play like me or even better. Just keep playing.

Who remembers when Danny started playing Real Guitar & then next thing you know he's playing Buckethead?

[@devilhorns22]

I absolutely love Rocksmith. I can play some damn difficult songs, but my issue is that I can’t play them without Rocksmith and I still don’t technically know how to play guitar. I just know how to play Rocksmith. It’s a great base, but you’re gonna need real world methods of learning as well. Excited to see your journey though!

[@razerduck310]

The beginning of a legendary rock god

[@idoleyesd]

i reckon he’s gonna be so good, he’s got the dexterity it’s just applying it to 6 strings instead of buttons. layout is basically the same

[@foremanmvyers]

he’ll FC thrasher on a real guitar, too

[@citrus7115]

Not really but ok

[@idoleyesd]

@@citrus7115 it is tho, i’ve played both for years and when you’re a beginner learning on the lower frets it’s similar

[@themilkynipple2801]

The hardest part is going from one strum bar to strumming individual strings. The fingerings arent bad for chords and such

[@idoleyesd]

@@themilkynipple2801 yeah exactly, i don’t think Citrus really understands that

[@guywithaguitar8521]

Hey UKOG. long time viewer and twitch subscriber(You my recognize me under the username Guywithanelectricgutar) i just wanted to say that its amazing to see you pick up a guitar and start to learn. one of my favorite songs i started learning first was One By Metallica. fantastic song that shows how much you grow as a guitarist. at first its hard to shape your hand to hit those first notes, and good lord trying to memorize how that opening solo goes. but as you go along you learn so much from it. Tapping solos. tremolo. keeping time with your strumming. anyways, from one guitarist to another, i wish you best of luck in your guitar journey.

[@brianwallace2038]

Can't wait for the "I can't believe I was this bad!?" video a year from now, where you look back at your first week of progress. Btw, I tried learning bass once, and it just wasn't clicking. You're immediately way past where I ever got, so well done! Now I wanna try to pick it back up

[@Yobasosia]

thats cool, but can you play freebird or jordan on expert?

[@lazybonez3176]

Next weeks video: I can play the Free Bird solo with the guitar behind my head

[@TPD]

having a love for A7X when i started playing helped me learn a bit quicker than usual because i was trying to play super hard shit! great progress george!

[@JacksonVanHoose]

Dude, for your first week you are KILLING it!!

[@Novaprotocol]

Nice work man! I barely managed Seven Nation Army in my first week 😂 Best purchase I ever made was a guitar-to-iPhone cable. Plug in and use with the Tonebridge app (you can still have it playing through an amp) instead of forking out £££s for pedals/effects boards. Game-changing.

[@mikebeak1389]

So awesome, you've learned a lot in a Week too, really well done. Sounds so cool :D As you mentioned around 6:48 about the scale. I'm not sure fully I think it maybe minor pentatonic scale there maybe more but that's all I know, Keep up the great work too 😁

[@QuietToproll]

I’ve been playing since 2005. This is kinda giving me nostalgia of my days of starting out.

[@yourMoonstone]

This is awesome! So happy you picked it up for real. I do the same thing practicing guitar while just doing whatever on the side. You're gonna improve, you're gonna hit some plateaus, but keep at it and you'll be so happy you did!

[@brunoceros]

You dont really have to play a long time, the key is consistency, just play maybe 30 minutes, practicing the little things you know, maybe several time a day every day!

[@Scottish_Bisque]

someone who plays guitar is instantly 10x more attractive LOL. best of luck with the training!

[@dougEdoug169]

Nice, bro! You're working on your alternate picking, minor scales, and barre chords! You're on your way! Just a tip, if you press too hard on a string it actually pushes it out of tune! You only got to press on the string just hard enough to make it engage the frets, you don't gotta embed the string into the fret board! (This is something that all guitarists struggle with early on) Keep it up, man! This video inspired me to pick up my guitar and practice for the first time in a month. Thanks! :)

[@RubyRoks]

This is awesome! You're building a solid foundation. You'll be jamming Trivium songs in what feels like no time!

[@ayepeabea]

This shits dopeeee wtff this is soooo advanced! Playing plastic guitars REALLY DOES HELP!!!

[@MeypleMusic]

Your progression is going so fast its awesome to experience on stream and off! ukogCheers Keep it up!

[@DaedricNZ]

Rocksmith helped a lot with keeping me motivated to play when I first switched from acoustic to electric. It's a good tool for us gamers, makes it fun and easily accessible to play our favorite songs. I don't really play it anymore but it was a major part of my learning process.

[@cunihinmangihin2215]

Asking as someone that has no idea about playing guitar, is it a good start to learn guitar with Rocksmith? I mean, I love rhythm games like CH but doesn't want to stuck on just plastic guitar...

[@DaedricNZ]

@@cunihinmangihin2215 ​ I'd say it's a pretty good place to start, especially if you're coming from CH. It basically feels like playing CH but with a proper guitar. I can't really vouch for its ability to teach you how to play; I was already intermediate when I first got it so I didn't use the tutorials for the basics. The key thing though is that it's an easy to use tool that sets everything up for you. You can get straight into playing without having to worry about setting up an amp, pedals or tone settings, and it makes the learning process a lot of fun.

[@mattf5855]

Doing pretty well!

[@brunoceros]

Damn that's already some freaking awesome stuff! Tbh, i wouldn't have expected such a good right hand gesture, and even bends and stuff like that! Huge gg, and don't give up man !

Good for you! Very inspiring, my friend.

[@3blame]

i knew this day would come

[@guilhermevinicius6062]

I found that playing random chords going slow and increasing the tempo from time to time helped me out a lot (trying to get more loose was hard though, especially for me since I'm double jointed, and no, that didn't help me at all, only hindered me, especially for certain chords and for doing solos, also generally speaking my coordination is shit), looking at my favorite guitarists and trying to mimic their picking hand helped me out with that too. Btw, that's really impressive for a week

[@harrison738]

One week down! Good luck on the rest of your guitar journey!

[@blitzguitar]

i'm not a pro by any means infact i just learned how to sweep pick small parts of scales. but yeah your picking hand will develop. maybe loosen up your hand, grip the pick lighter. those are good things to keep in mind while practicing i've found. i know you're just beginning. i found when i was learning(still practicing everyday) how to sweep pick that i was gripping my pick too tightly it took a lot to get into the rhythm of holding it loosely also the technique of using both hands to mute strings while playing scales in seconds.

[@doledipp3rs238]

sounds a helluva lot better than i did after my first week. great job my man, keep it up

[@traixxe8649]

Fuck yeah! I remember learning good riddance when I started. It's pretty impressive that you can play it that well already. Keep it up man! \m/

[@Cmmf_]

Only starting out, but pretty please tune that guitar! Ome of the strings has to be like 20 cents off, othereise, youre doing a great job!

[@4pThorpy]

That's an awful lot of tunes in this small amount of time! I think practicing the stepping (3:05) slowly getting faster and aiming for clean notes will help an awful lot in just feeling comfortable, once it finally clicks and your hands are doing it without much thought, it all starts to feel a whole lot more natural and you can really relax into it. After that feels normal, maybe a nice arpeggio? :P

Nice!

[@funnyperson4027]

just remember you don't have to practice 8 hours a day to get good, you just need to practice. quality over quantity. (I practiced around 8 hours a day when I started it didn't get me where I wanted any faster than when I stopped practicing that much)
