How to Actually LEARN GUITAR Online

[@RedlightBlue]

2 years after making this video, Justin Guitar (which I used to learn guitar) teamed up with me on their app! You can sign up free here if you want to be sponsored in 2 years (not guaranteed): justinguitarapp.onelink.me/3065804798/redlightblue1

[@joshhamester]

whoa this feels like a win for us all

[@L.A.M.B_B4]

So should I use the app instead of the website?

[@L.A.M.B_B4]

Nvm just realized it's a monthly subscription for the full app, i'm broke so i'm sticking to the website.

[@chasbee]

What does that mean, that they teamed up with you, and that I might be sponsored in two years?

[@cyangrowsplants3126]

I have a tip for new guitar learners (literally works for EVERYTHING that you want to leanr), basically if you're not interested in playing the guitar today or if you're feeling lazy, dont just take a break. Instead just play for like 5 minutes, or recap what you learnt yesterday. Try to practice daily atleast for 5 minutes a day. If you continue doing this daily playing the guitar will become a habit for you and you wouldnt need any external motivation for you to start.

[@Hawaii567]

Spot on. This applies to everything

[@vincentzombi3916]

When I first started I was super impatient and just wanted to learn but didn’t, it wasn’t till I hit some depression and forced myself to buy my first electric guitar and learned my first full song “don’t fear the reaper” then I spent Time just jamming, sometimes 10 minutes then later to play tor 2 hours! Just kept pushing myself till I noticed my skills getting better, now I use that to just about everything I do! I owe a lot to the guitar

[@aeolian951]

I'd also recommend breaking lessons into small parts, and doing each part after 1 hour of break. Doing 30 minutes/day is somehow much harder than doing 5 minutes 6 times. It helps me to continue learning Japanese, programming and guitar even while struggling with depression (which kills 99% of your motivation for months).

[@LaBrujaCinica]

Disagree. You dont wanna play, think why; we dont make habits of thinks we dont like to do, no matter how long you do them. I used that method of playing no matter what a mount of time just for the sake of habit. Do that for years. Dont know if that make the habit cause i forced my self to play anyways, and i struggle to improve. What worked for me was to play new and challenging stuff that i actually liked, and REST when i dont want to play.

[@pepelaugh4091]

why would someone spend time with something that they are not interested in? i had a friend who gave up learning exactly because of this

[@martinsmatana8408]

Have you researched - Rozardner Guitar Professionalism Reality (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a great exclusive product for easy guitar learning system for adults without the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my mate after many years got amazing results with it.

Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else trying to find out online guitar course try Alkarno Amazing Guitar Alchemist (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my neighbor got amazing results with it.

[@sketchymittens1942]

Quick tip that works for me: I gave myself the task to pluck AT LEAST one string on the guitar a day (I have to pick it up and play the one string, not like pluck it while it's sitting on the floor or whatever) and I almost always do much more than that; the hardest part is really picking up the darn thing and starting. haha

@@RedlightBlue what is the best site for official tabs from songs

[@generalawareness101]

I agree and disagree. I am already mad at Justin for not taking into consideration small handed people, or people with limited mobility due to age, disease (like Arthritis) etc... that someone like Lauren Bateman does. I don't care much for her, but apparently she does her real life students well into their 90's which is something Justin should do. Get to module 2 when it is your first simple song time to find out free time is over. Pay up for the tab to follow along or else. Sure you can skip it but what you just skipped may be needed in an upcoming lesson in Module 3+. Any single time it is music time you must be a paying subscriber. I got to this video with the search term of "learn guitar for free" and all sites lie there is no free.

Been learning for 1 and a half year. I started on rocksmith but left it behind and i am now playing to spotify and backing tracks instead. And here is a bit of advice to other beginners. Go and learn theory, scales etc even if just a bit. I put barely any time into these and even though i can play an easier dragonforce solo from their older ballad like songs, I have zero clue about how to actually write my own stuff and let alone improvise. Well to be precise i can write simpler melodies but i have to google on what works with what cord

[@IWantToStayAtYourHouse]

Thanks mate. I started playing guitar yesterday gonna put some effort in learning some music theory

I started with rocksmith a few years ago for guitar, and realized that it was not for me. i picked it up about a year after and have really been enjoying learning again.

You may not progress at leaps and bounds, but you always progress.

Is it better than fender play? I just got my first guitar been practicing a few hrs now

[@sirwes2924]

@@andyantoine8981 Fender Play is giving 3 months free right now. But i will be honest i think Yousician is better than Fender Play for just starting out because it gets you playing right away and learning with feed back. I just started and i'm going back and forth between Fender Play, Yousician, Rocksmith, and Justin Guitar. Out of all of it i feel fender play is lacking atm. But this is just me though. Since i have 3 months free i will keep using it because the more i can soak in the better.

[@el-ml-am9511]

I would say the other in-person perk to learning guitar is that the teacher can not only correct bad habits before they form, but see the level where you’re at and help you focus on an area where you’re weaker than others (IF you have a good teacher of course). Online lessons were great for me, but I did have to skim around a little due to having played on my own for so long. Some things I am still really bad at, and others I’m pretty good; so it’s unbalanced. It’s also different motivation to take the time to learn a lesson, than physically going to learn. At least for me.

Practice everyday, even if u have just 10 minutes. You can do it!

[@nickn2794]

We all suck. Robert Johnson became a legend because he was told he sucked, so he practiced a lot and became better than anyone else. Eric Clapton is self taught and he thought learning guitar was too difficult and seriously wanted to quit. My hands are small and weak. I sometimes cried in frustration, I can't play many chords (for now). But with the correct hand position, stretching always before playing and strenght exercises and spider exercises for agility, I am improving. It's important you try to do at least few minutes every single day, otherwise you can loose what you've learned, expecially when you're a beginner. When I played other instruments and I was a beginner, if I stopped for a few days I could loose many progresses. So don't be lazy. If Django did it you can too.

[@simonvaradi2412]

As someone who has been learning to play the guitar online for about half a year now, the most important is to enjoy and trust the process, obviously you are not gonna be Hendrix at first, but if you rush it, and think "I don't have to enjoy it now, I will when I'm good" you are missing the point just like I did in my first month. Naturally, there'll be times when doing some nerve-wrecking annoying practice is inevitable, but in my opinion, try to enjoy every moment of it you can. And celebrate for the small successes.
