[@darkzim3872]

when i was a teenager I always wanted to play guitar but my family was poor when I was in my 20's I wanted a guitar but I had no job when I was 30 I wanted a guitar but Id just started a family when I was 40 I wanted a guitar but my wife got sick Im now 50 and I finally got my guitar a few months ago and I'm as bad as you can imagine but I'm loving every min of it (my wife and son aren't :) )

I started in 2015 when I was 40. After 4 years I love to enjoy each moment with my guitar. I think the progress is very better when you join in a band. I'm in 3 bands now, just for hobby. Keep going, forget about your age - it doesn't matter. Let's Rock! That's the most important.

This might be your 3 year anniversary video, but for me, that doesn’t matter much. I have been playing almost 35 years, and watching this video brings back all the joy I had in learning the guitar. You document that joy so well and it is really incredible we live in a time that you can show the world how amazing it is to learn the guitar. There are times that I become unmotivated or just get used to having the guitar in my life. Watching your videos immediately takes me out of that funk and helps me realize how cool it is that I can play the guitar for a living... Okay now imma go play a bit a be a kid again... 😁 Just know you are not only inspiring new players of the guitar, but ones that might have lost that joy over the years, and you remind them of the reason they play. 👍

[@RachelfGuitar]

Thank you so much for the kind words, Carl! I'm so happy to hear that my videos can have such a positive influence :).

Overtime... Kids... homework with kids... Wife.... House... Yard work.... The list is endless and finding time for you let alone time for learning an instrument is difficult at best and sometimes impossible. So... Discipline.

And the first 6 months of playing a guitar arent terribly fulfilling. This physically present in the girl in this video.

Even though I’ve been playing guitar for a while now, I’ve only ever played with my acoustic or classical since I didn’t have an electric. I recently just got an electric since I’ve been getting into rock and metal lately and I feel like I have to start back at square one since I’ve rarely used a pick and know little to nothing about playing metal/rock on guitar. It’s so frustrating since I know guitar but I feel like I don’t. This is actually really motivating so thank you!

[@azula2399]

Here’s a tip, when it comes to rock and metal, especially post hardcore, most is really easy, but really impressive . Like never too late by 3 days grace or Makedammsure by taking back Sunday .

[@kano5990]

I'm in the same boat, don't sweat it! Been playing guitar for about 10 years (with some periods of laziness lol) but the vast majority of my practice was spent doing finger-style picking and acoustic songwriting just because that's what I gravitated towards at the time. Which is a shame for the real nice Fender American Standard Stratocaster I've had for the last 5 years that's not been getting the love it deserves! But now I've come back to electric I've realised the steep learning curve I've got to navigate, not just with my playing but also amp tone (makes a HUGE difference as someone commented above), effectively using my pedal board, etc. But like you say, videos like this are so motivating because it's absolutely possible with a bit of time, patience and discipline! Best of luck with your playing! I'm sure we'll be shredding before we know it :-D

This is the absolute best motivator for getting off your butt and finally making the move to learn I personally have ever seen. I've always had the yearning to want to learn and I've dabbled here and there but my God is that passion reignited after seeing this video. Thank you so much for posting it was really fascinating watching the progress unfold like that and very very inspiring to see.

I love the smile of joy on her face whenever she plays, I catch myself doing the same thing. Passion

[@dr.lyleevans6915]

If you try at all you’ll be able to. She is below average for that time span. It is tougher learning on your own though and she is still young so nothing against her. It’s just tough getting over that first hump but if you can get through the initial frustration it becomes actually fun to play you’ll start learning quick

[@MrKleenexDude]

@@dr.lyleevans6915 How many people have you seen go through the learning process to determine what average even is? For her age and being self taught she's killing it. The fact she even kept with it is something worth celebrating in itself given how many people put their guitar away when they aren't a rock god in a few months to never touch it again.

[@Grimslath]

Cheers folks, I'm definitely going to keep it up! 🤘I practice whenever I'm able and even when I get frustrated I'm still enjoying learning and can see improvement all the time. I'm learning through online courses at the moment but going to be booking some proper lessons as soon as I can. I love this video though. Above average or below average doesn't matter. Just seeing that change from someone who can barely string single notes together to being able to play full, awesome sounding solos... and how the full-on concentration and frustration turns to pure enjoyment and happiness... it really is inspirational to somebody like me who thought I'd never be able to play anything more difficult than Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. 😁

[@dr.lyleevans6915]

MrKleenexDude I taught over 100 students most younger. Just being realistic. Wasn’t trying to knock her at all it really comes down to practice time more than years playing. Generally her skill level comes around 1 year if someone has some motivation. Like I said before she is young, she will be fine. Playing matures with age.

@@RachelfGuitar Hello, sorry to bother you! ^^ im learning Cirice by Ghost, (they're my favorite band, im sure yours too! :)) and whenever i get to the power chord heavy part, im hitting the chords way to hard, but i dont know how to stop it. May i ask for advice? :)

[@RachelfGuitar]

Hey! Usually it is ok to hit power chords pretty hard. Are you having issues with extra notes ringing out? One useful thing is to mute the other strings with your first finger at the same time as you are holding down the chord. Otherwise, my usual advice for any struggle is to just slow down the song a lot and work on whatever is tricky and then slowly speed it back up! Best of luck :)

[@hunglejewel]

@@RachelfGuitar thank you! Yes, some notes do ring out! :D your advice is appreciated! ^^
