And of course we can't forget the 20 years before and after 2021 and 1980 when learning guitar in 2001 meant sifting through surfing the internet for the most shittily transcribed tabs you can imagine in hopes of piecing together bits and pieces to get something that sounds close to the recording.

[@dj011392]

Right?! I remember learning “Day Tripper” using Ultimate Guitar, and I noticed there a couple added notes to the riff and I was like “Uh… this isn’t correct…”

[@GearGasms]

Preach brother! I’ve cussed Guitar For the Practicing Musician tabs more than once!

[@yannickvaz694]

Personally, I thread the line between both sides. I play with my dad's old guitars and amplifier, cheap strings (probably a few months old, minimum), no pedals/audio interface, and cables which barely work. Half the time I'm forced to practice guitar without an amp because the equipment refuses to work. But on the other hand, I'm fortunate enough to have a phone and access to the internet. Tabs, guides, music and apps are all available for free.

[@DaniloVicari]

I think that learning guitar like you do is the best way 🙌🏻

[@houseofgrey1690]

I feel the same

[@TornacenseDeFuturo]

In the 80’s people learned by listening. Unfortunately, people don’t understand that this’s how you will be a really good guitar player. It’s hard and annoying, but its worth it.

[@JuanHernandez-vy4ee]

If you know music theory and your scales and chords it really helps

[@anghelo6797]

I feel bad because I learned everything I know on KZbin tutorials

[@diegoflores3831]

Jeez you sound so butthurt. Not everyone goes straight to tabs, playing by ear doesn't automatically make you better than someone who uses tabs and really using tabs doesn't mean not learning properly, creative learners will make the most our of tabs and tutorials, it's still musical vocabulary they can play with, study, analyze and ultimately it can all help them become better musicians. You can spend all your life playing by ear and still be mediocre, it's more about the player

[@mariog5410]

@@diegoflores3831 Yes! Just because you play by ear doesn’t mean you’ll be a better guitarist, it’s all about the person with the guitar. Playing by ear is an option not a necessity.

[@asmrelax6352]

Im self taught im only 17 i have been playing since 4 and i hate using tabs and youtube

[@Dankehum]

Incredible to think the first song I learned on guitar was Death - Symbolic and took me about 10 months to get it correctly, including Chucks solo. All thanks to KZbin and endless quarantine time

[@jasonwojcik]

I learned to play the guitar by ear in the late 80s. I stopped playing for about 20 years. Recently, I got a really nice guitar to replace my original beginner guide (yes, I had it that long and it caused me to want to give up the guitar because it was so bad). I somewhat feel like a beginner again. Having been through records, shitty tabs/music books (looking at you And Justice For All, you are horrid!), and youtube videos, it all depends on your musical goals. If you want to want to be able to play by ear, then the 1980's method will get you there. If you want to play covers, learning from videos will get you there. No matter what your goals are, having access to youtube jam tracks has been a game-changer by connecting the dots with music theory and applying it in a way to create something that is uniquely me. Using a combination of both eras is the way to go. Try to use your ear as much as you can. When you get absolutely stuck, find a video.

[@gizmobly350]

kids will never no the struggle. I'm just so amazed at how many awesome tutorials are out there now to learn. If you set your mind to it you can learn it. Thanks for your videos. They make me smile.

[@DaniloVicari]

Thanks mate, I’m glad you liked it! Exactly, now it’s very easy to learn almost everything within a couple of clicks and apps. It’s actually impressive

[@ghost-cy7gz]

How did people learn back then?

[@gigachad6117]

With all respect you cannot unsee the gifts of internet.Eveyone doesnt have the leisure to spend their day listening to a song 400 times to get down a solo.Tabs sometimes maybe incorrect but internet has helped millions of musicians across the globe be it a beginner or a guitar god.

[@kouham420]

I took things for granted back then in the internet era after the past 7 years of playing guitar. It is earlier this year when I took the effort to actually use internet to gain knowledge on guitar playing. Now I'm starting to see some improvements in my playing and I never felt so much happier in life that I can play Wonderwall.

i hear songs in majority of bands that don't have tabs or chords in internet so i have to hear and by ear try to work out all and i can say it's a therapy because you frustrate yourself when you can't hear what they are playing and then you go hang out to pick up some fresh air and have something inside you saying to not give up and with my friends i've always say ''i'm trying to pick it up this but i don't know if it's here or there'' we have a beer laugh about and in the other day here i go again try to work out this this is the magic

I believe that Troy grady used to record the recorded part either with a classic keybord and/or casette player to learn solos on songs back in the 80/90s. Or thats what he said in the breaking the code videos.

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

The Crate practice amp with horrific distortion and no reverb or delay is what I started on. In 1985, there were no 50 dollar Digitech multi effects units. You had Boss individual pedals, if you were rich. A Super Distortion/Feedbacker was my first pedal. I thought I was the schitt when I got that. About 1998, I got a Zoom GFX8 full size pedalboard. Finally, I had the tone. An old Charvel with the Jackson headstock, a pedalboard, and a 50w Marshall JCM900 2500 HiGain Master Volume head on a 1960A 4x12 cab. A real half stack. I'd finally made it.

5:47 i have same Bon Jovi Lp :D, Btw. great video, i can totally say that i can't imagine my self without youtube and lessons on it. Because several years ago i was starting guitar and i was starting with classical guitar, and for christmas i get from my dad electric guitar, and bassiclly i was first translating my knowledge of classical guitar to electric. Kinda remind me of a Randy Rhoads story how is he starting to play electric guitar :)

[@jeffwombold9167]

Have to say I did extremely well with a radio and tape player. Actually won a couple guitar competitions using the old way. Part of the reason I am not as impressed with the new guys nowadays. Must be nice to have someone show you. But okay! Just use it to your advantage!

Man.. reminds me of the days learning how to play guitar. All I had were an old beat up acoustic guitar.. a cassete deck with a funny mix of few albums ranging from country, religious songs, pop collections and some good ol rock music.. the family tv where I can play mtv.. a small booklet that depicts chords... that's it.. I just sat either in front of the deck or mtv.. Hit play.. doesn't matter what comes on, if it sings I try to play along... Pure bruteforce.. I eventually figured out what a Root chord is without even knowing what it is, I just knew that it was the "home" chord as I called it back then, and step by step I unraveled bits and bits of the basics.... It was a long loong process lol I later got enrolled in a music school organised by a local church.. learnt how to read and it was smooth sailin from there

[@Frodojack]

You young kids don't know how good you got it. Back when I was a kid I had to walk through ten feet of snow just to get to music store, and another ten feet back.

[@dhirajkuldeepekanayake2293]

I bought a Squier bullet strat and the same amp you are using in this video (marshall mg 10cf) that sucks. I've been playing with those gear for about one year and after that, I bought a cheap guitar called zoom g1xon. I think in the future I'm able to afford the gear that I hope for. Good video.

[@mikegregory3293]

I started playing in 1980 and that is spot on and hilarious. Yes the pain of constantly picking the needle up and back and slowing it down by jamming an eraser against the side of the record. No loop or pitch correction - glory days haha

I started to practice back in 95' in a small town, there was only 1 music/instruments store with very few books (must of them were folk music and only chords), classes were expensive (and only classic guitar BTW), then internet came and you had to navigate trough endless tabs archives with all levels of transcriptions, some were good enough to pull off a good approach to the song, some others you just had to figure out from scratch. not to mention gear was very expensive and hard to find, now there is a bunch of resources to find and learn at all cost levels, sadly there is less interest (I think).

[@jadeeeeen_]

I have a old fender DG-7 (I think) that’s older than me and I’m pretty sure my dad gave it to me. This is what I played with along with a free guitar and some cheap amp not really for guitars, but I have access to the internet and tabs and videos and all that stuff.
