Regardless of what I can play I always feel like a beginner. There's always so much more to learn.

You need to learn how to alternate pick. And the easy way to hold a pick could be a bad habit that is holding you back? This guy alternate picks but doesn't get into it.

[@harveybc]

I've been told that the more you know the less you think you know. I guess that means you know enough to know there is so much more. It is the ones who think they know it all that actually know very little. So it sounds to me like you are probably doing pretty good. That's without hearing you play but it is an indication.

I learn piano with him first 3 yrs ago. Now is guitar 🎸. I can Play not fast 3 songs of his. I feel I am in the middle somewhere of beginner and intermediate, 3 to 4 months playing I think I dream with the guitar lol at 69 I am nuts 🤪 doing this but it's fun. He is good at what he does and comes out at time being so funny. Just love him. He is so humble .

[@sholland42]

It’s nice to see someone concentrating on Rhythm instead of lead, but they are really two completely separate things. These were intermediate rhythm guitar songs. I’ve been playing rhythm and lead for 40 years and there’s still so much to learn.

Hey Andy plz make a tutorial video for Martin Garrix used to love plzzz

[@MusicLover-sb7mo]

I am a beginner and may always be stuck in beginner mode. I know lots of chords and can do quick chord changes, lift-offs and hammer-ons, various strum patterns including muting (love to mute), but finger picking remains a challenge. I seem to be clumsy or just lack patience. It’s like boating….power boats versus sailing. Power boat people love the thrill of speed and reaching a destination quickly. Sailing people love the thinking element, the art of controlling direction with subtle adjustments of the sails with the ever changing wind. Far more patient. Hence, I am a power boater.

[@martinwillis2694]

Same here!

[@Replyingg]

Enjoy the process my friend 👍🏽👍🏽🎵

[@OceansUnravel]

i think im in the same boat as you (ho ho), but im trying not to believe that thats just me and that actually im just still being swept along with learning songs with open chords. At some point maybe i will feel like pausing and spending that extra time learning more finger style stuff but at the moment i am loving what im doing

[@jbellflower83]

With finger picking, one thing that helps is try to put the finger on the string that finger will be playing and keep them there close so there will be minimal movement. Finger picking was hard at first but I actually picked it up fairly quickly. It's really not as hard as it seems at first and once u get it, it's really fun to play finger style. Hybrid picking is really fun too. Fade to black is a good song to dip ur toe into the hybrid picking pool as it's not too fast.

I am advanced intermediate, I can play note for note Blackbird, Day Tripper, Paperback Writer, Something, Stairway to Heaven, Layla and Born to Run and multiple alternative tunings.

[@MrDMc1981]

sounds pretty advanced to me!

[@chucklutter2509]

Very advanced. Layla is bucket list issue in my journey

[@GaryBook]

@@chucklutter2509 It starts out in D minor (which is F major). The riff follows D minor pentatonic when they play it down the next. The chorus is in D minor. The verses in C sharp minor (Key of E). That should make it easier to follow.

[@GaryBook]

@@chucklutter2509 Break it down into two parts, the opening in D minor where you do the riff by the neck, then walk up and down on the chords. Then you riff again in the 10 fret on high strings using D minor pentatonic scale. Second part: Then you switch to the verse in C# minor (which is key of E). The thing that makes it challenging is there are many parts and chords. Just break it down into small parts and understand the music theory for D minor & D minor pentatonic and C# minor. Then you practice and blow away your friends!!!

Happy Thursday, Thanks for the video's. I love playing and singing. I've modified about 40 songs or so for parties and campfires to keep the people focused. Usually get everyone to sing along. I dont play any leads but have been known to adlib with extra chorus or sing the same vs to keep it going. CHEERS!

[@RJLMusic_]

Feel like I’m mid intermediate, all of these were fine, and I can learn things like “keep your head up” Ben Howard alright. It’s my individual fingers on my left hand that aren’t that quick with slides / scales

[@PompeyMatt17]

thanks Andy....you've cemented that I think I'm a pretty confident intermediate player (having performed both Fast Car and Blackbird live at gigs)...my issues will always be speed and clarity of tone. Picking individual notes right time every time...

[@Mustaine1ify]

I can do everything apart from the finger style stuff. I've never played without a pick and it really seems alien to me. Time to put down the pick and get me a Parlour.👍

Excellent playing and instruction as usual Andy. For future I’d really like a finger style lesson on Amazed by Lonestar. Now there’s a challenge? Really impressed by that Faith guitar your using btw.

[@craigparse1439]

The song that went next level to me (barre chords) was "Hold My Hand" by Hootie and the Blowfish. Mostly 3 chords in B and the verse starts with a B add 9 instead of the plain old B major... hint: the add 9 chord is easier to play.

[@giancarloleon9983]

Could you please do a tutorial of a song for a lover long ago

[@neiladdison5614]

I’d phrase it slightly differently I think, especially as someone edging towards intermediate... Theory plays a massive part for me and knowing what you are playing has to be part of the discussion. Advanced players know what they are playing, can play over changes, picking out target notes using key centres and chord functions. Maybe Intermediates are starting to get some broad knowledge around some theory but it’s more about playing songs and them sounding correct. Beginner is about getting your hands to move, keeping time/tempo and getting the right strings to ring out. There’s always another level to strive for. Guitar is 🔥🔥🔥

[@SharkSalesman90]

I WANT THAT T SHIRT ITS AMAZING

[@ndlsjk]

I can play these songs fairly easily - not perfect but only took a minute or 2 to get the gist of each...there is no way I'm an "intermediate" guitar player though. Advanced beginner perhaps but yeah, these are fun campfire type songs in my opinion and I'm going to use them as nice finger stretcher/familiar tune to strum for other people and as a base track on my looper to noodle around on. I really love to try and figure out the vocal melody as a lead line for guitar because I haven't sung since 2006 when I was in a band. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@ReadyMindsetGo]

Ofc this is also dependent on what style(s)/technique(s) you're aiming to develop (best is a wide variety of course!). I've been playing for 20 years, but I've never tried these songs. I've mostly focused on metal music in my earlier years, last year I was learning more funk, now I'm more interested in 'classic rock' and grunge like things, as well as Hendrix style playing. I'm sure I could play these songs with a bit of practice but not as quickly as something I'm more familiar with. In a way maybe that makes me a beginner player within this style/set of techniques.

[@madcowusa4277]

Still a beginner after nearly 3 years, but somewhat approaching beginning intermediate. Practice about 1.5 to 2 hours a day when I am home, which is 3 days a week. I think about the guitar and what I'm going to work on the long drives home and purposely leave my guitar at home for the reward.

[@robadams1833]

After 3 years I still cant barre. So I no this negates me to beginner. Ex mma so my hands/joints are not the best. Very annoying as I know I can be better. I love Arpeggio btw.

[@AndyInTheUK]

OK, so after 47 years of playing the guitar I class myself as a beginner. Should I give up now or persevere for another couple of decades?

[@chucklutter2509]

I am in exactly the same place. I took 1 lesson back in the early 80s. Other than that looked at chords in a book for 4 decades. Now I watch videos. I am still enjoying immensely every small advancement. If you are having fun keep playing! BEST AND PEACE

I petition we change the bo dibley chord to the duane dibley chord

[@ebswift]

As a relative beginner I've gotten a good way into Doc Watson's version of Deep River Blues. It's done amazing things for my finger coordination, strength and calluses. I've been using 3 fingers on the right hand rather than Doc's use of one finger, I'm doing it that way to help train the other fingers up a bit. That song is a big confidence builder as you move through each section, and it's fun!

[@FerrisFlyer]

Not a beginner song at all. Doc Watson stuff is pretty advanced. Well done.

[@dukenukembubblegum7311]

How crazy, I started about 2 years ago ish, and the first lesson I watched was his seven day course I think. He said “10 minutes a day to become a guitarist” lol, and I can say for certain yea right. I’ve put all my free time into the guitar, probably at the minimum of 10 hours a week, probably closer to 18-20 (and that’s not joking, I go into a vortex and play for hours) and here I’am realizing I already knew all the songs for intermediate. I however don’t feel like I’m intermediate yet lol, this bar non is my most difficult undertaking, and as a recovering addict with a very addictive personality this is basically my new drug.

[@andrewptob]

This is a great video! May I know how do you record your acoustic? Your voice is EXTREMELY clear and your guitar is crisp as well. Do you combine the guitar pickup sound with the mic pointing 12th fret? Do you use a separate mic for vocals? Is your recording stereo? The audio is really good in the video.

I can play all of these, plus things like More Than a Feeling and Rock n' Roll Band by Boston, but I know I'm nowhere near an intermediate player. I'd go as far as saying I'm a terrible player.
