sadly, the 2nd will got the chicks the most

him: "four types" also him: *shows 6

aye thats a good kind of misleading lmaoo

[@justthinking650]

he's a musician not a mathematician

[@Clavales]

@@justthinking650 lol

[@archivesdxc]

Because the singer and dude who just hits guitar aren’t really “players”, leaving just 4💀

[@sheeps4485]

guess im not complaining

[@marcello9476]

"These aren't nylon strings" had me dying

[@oozecloud4511]

flexin

[@DemonFang72]

​@@oozecloud4511 lol, yeah, like half flex and half making the weakest excuse ever as to why they're so "rusty" 🤣

Andres Segovia didn’t like steel strings he said they kill your fingers.

[@Yoda80085]

7 : people who are saving for an electric and just use the classical to play 0-3-5 and seven nation army.

If they can only play two songs should they invest in an electric guitar tho 💀

Me

[@imondutta8950]

3rd type is what we see everywhere now💀

[@deeznuts8624]

Ngl Bruh even I play like that 💀 Marcin changed it for me.... Otherwise I was just into chords...but lately I've been listening to classical and modern guitar pieces and compositions. And I think it's way better than normal songs.

[@near.observer]

Marcin literally reached the peak of percussive

[@Klara_S.]

Marcin ❤

[@user-dc1ts8ql6z]

marcin は私のギター人生を良い意味で狂わしてくれた！！！！

[@OneNidim]

Exactly it’s everywhere and it’s so uninteresting

[@AdmMusicc]

You forgot the type I belong to: The "I learnt a fingerstyle cover on guitar but will forget within a week of learning and will never have more than one song to play for someone when asked to"

[@o0...957]

Shi- That's me!

[@shannonglidewell4593]

​@@dickjones29 You're absolutely right Dick. I learned that quite some time ago but what a great lesson! Changes your entire outlook on playing guitar/bass

[@Rossdink]

This is me too.. don't feel bad, guitar is a huge pain in the ass.

[@Rossdink]

@@dickjones29 good advice

[@phobics9498]

You just need to make an actual effort to review them after you learn them. Also learnt this the hard way. Basically just use spaced repetition

[@LeVezz]

Lol i'm #4 . I can play all night but you'll never hear a song that you know.

[@iamtics]

Same😂

[@odablast1]

Sameeeee but that means we are good at crafting

[@jamesmoore4397]

As it should be....to each their own and so on...but the world needs new music and I've had all I can take of the Beatles

[@gobomanaga5615]

#4 #2 and #1 combined, I just need to put em together

[@dominiquejubin]

im definitely #4 while my sister is #2 haha

[@hentengyatso3896]

fun fact: he's all the type

[@sedna9037]

my man is no type

[@thisll]

thanks my fun is boosted by 100%

[@OKTA_TEK]

based on what he played i actually would say that he's a fellow improvisor

[@rajulrowdy4578]

Bro got a great voice

[@RobertJakobMusic]

hey man, i got new songs on Spotify too, please check them out!:-) my new EP is called 'Samsara Escape' (artist Robert Jakob)

[@tnuoccaeht]

“forgot the guitar has strings” is sending me 😭😭😭

[@DanielLekhok]

6th and i feel attacked

[@carlpanzram7081]

If you already have classical guitar experience learning how to play with a pick will be a picnic. Ha

[@josku5]

@@carlpanzram7081 It’s so fun when you take away the pick from someone who has only played electric their whole life. Their chops dissapear instantly.

[@Goku17yen]

@@josku5 yeah it’s much easier to go from classical to electric, vs the other way around (talking from experience)

[@dieguis6598]

Every pop singer should relate to the second one.

[@binzarsimorangkir8432]

Ed sheeran

[@shannonglidewell4593]

Exactly what pop singer / songwriter does!

[@logTopic]

The modern fingerstyle had me dying holy shit

[@Yeetypete]

#4 is literally me, I’ll be picking away, and someone will be like “what are you playing?” And I’m just like “oh nothing” “What’s the song called?” “It’s literally nothing, it’s not even a song”

[@aminabdullayev1545]

Yeah, + the fact that it generally sounds better than regular songs

[@KarenPautz]

LOL #3 -- "forgot guitar has strings"

[@eriknorman1690]

Me playing Megadeth and pantera on acoustic at the campfire because I can’t get any electricity in the middle of nowhere

[@jadendodd9961]

4 feels like a person attack 😭

[@jakespencer431]

Right lol was gutterd it’s all I do but it sounds good 😂

[@bwoah3753]

"oh these aren't nylon strings" 💀

[@sagnikmaity1444]

Modern fingerstyle is too real.

[@btsnctskz]

The second one humbled me real quick 😂

[@jonathanyates7883]

2 is the narcissist who comes into house parties and wants everybody to stop talking and listen to his playing😂

😂😂😂 that's me

[@ugods4832]

The improvisation at the 4th is amazing

[@kristinhess1704]

#3 is spot-the-fuck on. I’m rollin

[@Miki-xh6fb]

The one who always improvise is the real virtuoso

[@alucrid6541]

That 6th one hit REAAL close to home

[@rtucanxd]

The people what can Sing while they're playing are underrated

[@Dollarkat]

I’m 2 of those. I’m from Chicago, I started with the blues and I’m an improviser.

[@Kugelblitz1]

Proud to be a Type 5

[@Isa_puggy]

You forgot : “the one that hates acoustic”

[@gvngbvngiggy]

Im nr.2 but i know all basic open and bar chords plus some 7s and the minor pentatonic scale and thats really all im ever gonna need probably.

[@morrisonmaze]

3 cracked me up. I've been seeing those guys a bit more lately.

[@subhd04]

Add 1+4 you got British Blues

[@ridoheru]

I play acoustic guitar to strengthen my fingers by playing jazz, also your singing voice is amazing!

[@Ambyycious]

I am type#2 and i feel completely called out

[@ashadowoftheg3705]

And there's me just playing like it's an electric

[@benisbrave5290]

Chord guy here and proud of it. I always say it's not about what chords you use it's how you use them.

[@jacobwilkinson6112]

“That’s not nylon strings” 😂

Yea I’m definitely 2 I’m still learning because I just started

[@oscarofficial912]

4 is me for sure

Is #2 a cover or something, i lowkey wanna know the song name cause ngl it’s unironically pretty dope sounding

It's Chastity, the song is his i believe

I’d use it just to play clean acoustic metallica riffs 🤣

[@TheRubicon515]

"modern fingerstyle" had me.dying 😂😭

[@Gaf-super-8-music554]

You forgot the "don't have enough money for an electric guitar so I'm playing on my family's dusty nylon string"

[@lambertstarr1218]

Me, basically. I went back to the dusty nylon string and mostly play fingerstyle nowadays. My electric guitar is the dusty abandoned family guitar now

[@senorpapasfritasconqueso]

Tim Henson has arrived to put all guitarists to shame forever

[@justinbailey2347]

He can shame me anytime he wants uwu. But Fr him and Tosin Abasi are some of my biggest inspirations rn bc they’re showing there’s always room for improvement and evolution.

[@Azz5sd]

No. 3 here, lately I just discovered that my guitar has strings!! 🤯 sounds nice if you slap them tho; nice percussion like a snare drum

[@hammerjohn9290]

what is the name of the song you sang?

[@kris_tamang]

Bruhh said 4 types!!!👀

[@ElenaNebbia]

Great job 👍 thank for sharing !

[@Whqtwldjesusdo]

7: the one who only plays wonderwall

[@spaghettisauce445]

whats the chords during the only 4 chords they sound nice

[@benjoshua3049]

Can someone please tell me the name of the song he sings in #2????

[@idop11]

Its his song chastity

[@johnctorides1821]

The tapping all over the guitar body had me dying laughing

[@SenbuNet]

No. 4 me, even though I have no idea what I'm playing 😂

[@shad0w7x56]

No way a person could play for 10 years and not pick up at least one thing

[@lilalu422]

That's kinda offensive for classical guitar players, maybe we don't play blues and we don't improvise but acoustic guitar players can't play that type of music we play as well. We just play different styles really.😅

[@sticks4382]

Then we got my a$$ : guy who plays chords for hours a day on steel strings without a pick (My right thumb has suffered so much it doesn't suffer anymore)

[@prajjwaltiruwa5299]

Damn, Max Payne is every acoustic guitar player in 1

[@idop11]

Chastity its his song

[@noval131]

@@idop11 woah thx! :D

[@nabi5864]

#2 all too common because POP music only requires a couple chords , with a super catchy progression , sing an intro, pre chorus, chorus, repeat then do a bridge and finish off with a chorus ... make the average crowd react with the, "Wow Bravo a true musician artist !"

[@NylonStrings83]

Playing with fingers on an acoustic guitar is indeed hard for a classical guitarist because the neck size is too thin even I can’t do it and my hands are huge that doesn’t help with it either

[@ahamed23]

he said 4 types

[@RobertJakobMusic]

i guess 2 don't count

[@ahamed23]

@@RobertJakobMusic Yh main that's brilliant😄

[@keegs1163]

Improvised mixed with percussive fingerstyle. Actually god tier if you ask me. Marcin comes to mind even though he does lots of covers. Guys a god

[@matthewguilfoyle1660]

The “only improvises” riff was sick 🤣

[@tasriful1455]

Man be showing 6 types of players differently by himself how pro is that

Whoa the second one directed at me a bit 🤣🤣

[@razielgarciachavez323]

The face of number 5 😂 So proud of the melody he just played

[@JackieTrippsTheMemeLord]

First ones are so chill ngl

[@cn9219]

Absolutely love this! I'm sorry to say I fall in the second category, but I probably know 10-15 chords. #3 was spot on 😂

Dude you should honeslty release an acoustic version of Chastity, i really shines in this video

[@cutelad4444]

No MARCIN was hurt in this video...... ☠️

[@Star_Stalker]

As an electric player, I just gotta say I miss my acoustic. Also, I'm a wannabe 4th. Wish I could improv like that. Shit I wish I could improvise in general.

[@MayhemJack]

Hahaha #6 really hit wherebit hurts, but that's definitely me.

[@ducklingchief8289]

8th "It's just there for decoration"

[@joeysdrums]

then theres me. a metalhead playing metal songs on an acoustic. GETTING MY FIRST EVER ELECTRIC ON MY BDAY THO WOOO

[@austinreed6759]

This is my list 1. The Noob (plays 0-3-5) 2. The Modern-Fingerstyle guy (plays Neon and mid 2010s acoustic rock covers on IG and Tiktok) 3. The Blues Dad (spent over $10k in gear, got into guitar later on in life, and obsesses over Mayer and mid 60s musicians yet can barely play) 4. The Worship Guy- plays guitar at churches 5. The Wannabe Rockstar (early teens-mid 20s plays in bands, mostly plays electrics, but occasionally switches to electrics) 6. The teacher (teaches guitar) 7. Non-player (doesn't play)

[@XenaWarrior-xq9su]

I know like 6 chords but can sing and you’d be surprised how impressed people are. Also I can cover almost any song with those 6 chords.

[@RogerERodriguez1k]

4th is my favorite and I actually enjoy.

[@Dynamic_Declan]

Claim your spot for being subbed before 1 mil

[@mickeybarmousetommy]

4 chord songs gets me paid at every bar I work at

[@Pedrocas]

6th one was almost spot on, only thing missing was the guitar pointing almost straight up lmao

[@alexandereisen3486]

And all the types are cool AF

[@adamrasmussen9939]

That first one is how I start like 90% of my play sessions, lol. Haven't had an acoustic in a few years though.

[@OneTeenDiscipleship]

Not joking, I'm number 4. I've come up with at least twenty full songs sitting with my guitar but then can't remember a single note of it the next day lol.

😂 so very true. THANK YOU for making me laugh today. ❤

[@ismaelmacias4858]

I’m number 2 sorry 😂😂. Hey but I’m doing my best… I keep Practice. I started during Covid and have gotten better. I wanna eventually get my TAYLOR guitar! I’m so excited 😆

Literally been playing for ten years and am still shown up by people who have been playing for 4

3 part was sick man!!😂

[@Little-Frog]

I'm definitely 1, blues in an acoustic sounds so good.

there's a very rare type, they even turn the knobs while playing
