Set aside a mere ONE hour, four days a week. You'll probably improve significantly in 6 months.

[@mikekohary1075]

You don't have to practice for hours every day. Set aside 20 minutes a day - yes, only 20 minutes. That adds up fast, and you will improve at a good pace. True, the more time you spend, the faster you'll get better, but many people just don't have an hour or more a day, so some practice time is better than none. The important part is to make it a consistent habit, so even 15-20 minutes a day when done as a habit will get the job done. It also helps immensely to have a good teacher. Have fun and good luck!

She was as good after one year as I was after 10 years. Guess thats what actually playing and PRACTICING does, instead of playing the same songs on easymode over and over again and taking weeks off at a time.....

[@Gravewurm]

It's likely a faked progress. The first 3 months are fine, maybe you can think she progressed very fast, but it's still doable. But suddenly her skills skyrocketed after 5 months. That's NOT realistic unless you pour hours and hours of training every single day, sweep picking is really hard to learn, and the sound when she plays is completely clear. That's also unrealistic. And that Ibanez Prestige after 7 months of practice... come on. The video is cool and this girl is really good at playing guitar. But this progress is a total fake.

[@Wolfgang_von_Caelid]

@@Gravewurm lol wtf are you on about, that 5 month mark was very, very clearly a beginner playing guitar, it was good for the amount of time she had played but not "good" under any stretch of the imagination. And that "sweep picking" was also very clearly someone who has just started learning to sweep, nothing crazy. Anyone who has tried learning to sweep can tell you that sweeping is difficult and it's probably better to begin learning sooner rather than later. As for the Prestige after 7 months; some people earn a good living and can afford nice things, who would have thought? Some people's first guitars cost more than my entire collection. You honestly just come off as really salty.

[@SgtS1lky]

@@Gravewurm you would be surprised, my first tutor had played guitar over 10 years and within 18 months he told me he can not teach me anything else because now I know more than he does and proceeded to ask me how to do certain things. Its a strange feeling for some people on guitar its hard for me to explain its like it becomes part of some people. Like its not playing the guitar like its a guitar instead it becomes like magic part of me that I can push emotions through

[@VicinalElk44104]

@@Gravewurm okay, I have a prs custom 24 as well as a prs mt15 amp, a prs archon amp, a 4x12 cabinet with 2 v30's and 2 wgs reapers (I like how the 2 speakers sound combined) and a bunch of pedals and shit and I have only just started getting into guitar, so not impossible. You can't have that "she's still new at guitar so there is no way she would own anything better than a Squier strat starting out" mentality just because you had a "beginner" setup for your first year. I personally think that its better to buy a midrange to higher priced guitar and amp setup in the beginning because not only will you likely be more inclined to learn on nicer equipment than "beginner" equipment, but you'll also be more inclined to continue using your setup even after you've advanced to being able to really play. I believe I'd be more inclined to learn if I had a $1k-3k guitar over a Squier or some offbrand guitar with shitty quality control and an overall sub par sound and feel, which is exactly why I decided to go with good stuff with my setup. That's just my opinion though. They're like assholes, everyone has one.

On my off days I may practice 4 hours or even more. You should know all your main open chords (including F) within 3 months. Hold the chord while you watch TV or listen to music. Just hold that position for 30 minutes or more, dont even strum. Make your hand get use to holding that shape. You have to think "im going to do this if my fingers bleed and it literally kills me."

It always takes time, the most important thing is to never quit, keep playing, you're doing good! 🤘

[@pecosnick45]

It was your one years progress that encouraged me to actually cave and start learning guitar. It was nice to see just exactly where I could realistically expect to be if I was truly practicing. Now I’m almost 3 years in.

[@RachelfGuitar]

That is so cool to hear!

[@apples8872]

How much did you practice per day?

[@Pengtinginnit]

You at 3 months: *literally amazing* Me at 6 years: okay so- what note is that again?

[@etoiledesneiges77]

YourLocalHufflepuff same here, so hard to remember all those notes even after several years playing 😂

[@sosat.I.am.]

Don’t confuse a “musical” ear with just learning notes, either the ability of perception on doing things really good without practicing, with just practice. Having talent is one thing, practicing it will take you sky high!..

[@nameisrubin191]

Funny we both started almost at the same time. I got my first guitar on Christmas 2015. Even funnier that we have the same amount of skill by now. Cheers!

I love how she always looks so happy when she's playing :) I'm still a beginner and this is so inspiring

So I see that my problem is that I learned blues songs instead of metal.

Yes

[@JohnYoshii]

Shoot I learned metal first and it put me way behind the power curve when I switched to acoustic not knowing any chords and playing mainly lead type I sucked at it for a while and had to relearn a ton. Also didn’t help I never went to lessons and just learned tablature but hey as long as we all enjoy playing and making music I guess thats where it counts.

[@dannyffff1299]

I did the opposite

[@mogu-mogu2335]

6 years and i am still trying to shred an acoustic only because i cannot afford an electric.

[@hej1902]

the cubic guy flamenco is actually auite similiar if you want to svred

[@emittlame8095]

You can get a pretty good one for like 150 bucks. Also acoustic is great for getting good at electric. So when you do get one you will be good.

[@Jockeylotforfun]

The Glarry GST Strat style models are really pretty nice at $68 dollars with free delivery, glarrymusic.com Stratocaster $99`with 10w practice amp, gig bag, strap, and cord. See KZbin comparisons! Yes, I own both and the tone and quality are surprising! I hope you'll try one!

[@Jockeylotforfun]

Other great and affordable deals on used, higher grade, name brand guitars on ebay and guitar center used selections. It's like adopting a rescue dog from the pound. Plenty of beautiful guitars looking for a lovely home!

[@NicholasDhruboDas]

I also can't afford am electric guitar and try shredding on an acoustic.

I did a 3 month guitar progression video myself, wish I started this young. I’m 28 and just learning. This gives me hope.

I remember subscribing to you in your early days... Can't believe it has been four years! You're amazing, and I hope many more years of guitar-filled days will come.
