Comment from : & Dee

I am 34 years old and I bought my first guitar exactly one week ago It's a cheap guitar but I'm loving it, and I feel so accomplished when I manage to play a single note on one of the higher strings with my pinky or ring finger without muting the string below lol

Comment from : Rodrigo Maria

Beginners have the greatest guitar emotions I remember being able to play "And I Love Her" from The Beatles", "Somebody" from Adams and "Sandman" from America You only feel that Once in your lifetime
Comment from : John Mendez

If you make a course just on kids songs for $1000 I'd still buy it haha
Comment from : Dawid Dąbrowski

i always wished i'd been taught way earlier that Am and C are the same *^$ing scale! and that all major and minor chords are tied together like this i remember that being a huge deal to find out when i was trying to get better at my scales and soloing, it's so obvious once you know it or if you come from a theory background, but it wasn't obvious to me growing up with a guitar
Comment from : floppsy b

Having a teacher is a great help for sure
Comment from : Robert Dodd

Comment from : Jordan T

My fingers hurt… lol
Comment from : 4514Rooster

I love the no wrong notes thing As someone who grew up playing piano (properly trained in theory and sheet reading) and has spent plenty of time in DAWs, it always amazes me how strictly bedroom producers would stick to one specific key I was very used to seeing naturals in piano sheets and soft tempo changes (which don't work almost at all in MIDI programming) and it always really felt like everyone was following the WWHWWWH / WHWWHWW rule without knowing why It's nice that guitar is naturally less rigid than piano (bends/slides/slurs, plus the harmonic gaps between strings) because that stuff comes so naturally with it
Comment from : FreshTurns

Play guitar like you whistle You never focus on your lips, tongue, whatever when you whistle You just whistle what you want to hear and it works
Comment from : Isopropyl91

That was really great advice, thank you
Comment from : Max Court

Can someone tell me the song at 6:38?
Comment from : Jordan T

I played guitar as a kid and made all of these mistakes, every single one Recently I got served your videos and now I’m playing again after 16 years with a fresh mindset and loving it, thanks Paul
Comment from : Feooo

What ARE the “four magical chords?”
Comment from : McTraveler

This man has one the smoothest yet clearly Dutch accents I've ever heard
Comment from : Smokingpapyrus

the biggest thing that i wish i knew sooner was, you can learn any song, and you should learn stuff that is way outside your comfortable playing level It is very hard for me to find new things to learn on guitar, partially because I just don't think I'm good enough to play some songs that i think are cool But I finally learned to just learn it no matter how difficult it is to play all it takes is time and practice, but anyone can play anything And usually songs that are very difficult for you to play will teach you an extremely valuable skill or just make you a better player in general
Comment from : PassionateMelon

great vid, do one with number five you're right and i hate it
Comment from : suirall

I disagree with the one regarding better guitars and gear But let me limit this to guitar Paul's example is someone who jammed a SRV song with a cheap guitar If you are jamming a SRV song with any guitar - a cheap one even - you're already well on your way in your playing so yeah, guitar won't matter to that dude All of the great guitar players look back and make this comment - guitar quality doesn't matter Like rich guys saying money doesn't matter lol You never hear a new guitar player say that or an average guitar player "Beginner guitar" makes me cringe Start with an easy to play GOOD guitar and you'll be on your way faster (Squires are great) Lame guitars with high action and poor intonation are not a lot of fun Actually, if you're going to be able to play at all, that will be established in 2 minutes so you'll find a way to make it fun - true - as in my case, I could play Sister Ray pretty quickly on my 5 string piece of junk lol But nice guitars are fun to play and inspiring You will become a better player faster if you don't have to start all over again on that cruel piece of junk every time you find yourself away from playing for a few days You can pick up a nice guitar and carry on quickly rather than spending 2 days on physical conditioning to sound okay on an impossible guitar There's only one pro out here who plays a Squire here online - a real one - not a 1k Squire Get your child a nicer guitar quickly once you establish the kid can play and wants to play If you are starting later in life - get a Strat Go all in
Comment from : Joel Graham

My advice would be get a better guitar instructor Everything seemed to be a secret that needed to be unlocked at a later date A 14 year old doesn’t want to learn music theory

Your voice is better than you think
Comment from : Phil Lively

#1 thing i wish i knew when i started: not to waste my time on videos similar to this
Comment from : Aidan McCluskey

So, speaking about a guitar making a better player(No8) I believe that it actually does If you have a crappy instrument that crucifies your fingers or sounds awful you don't want to play When I finally bought a guitar with some reasonable action I WANTED TO PLAY and picked it up much more often And yes it made me better
Comment from : David Robbins

3 6 And 9 Were my faves! 3 &6 You talked about fear and 9 Well BEN M F LEVIN All 10 should be taking into consideration 10 is my #4 pick!

Comment from : Abe Froman

glad you kept the singing part in the video 😄
Comment from : Tiana

Your videos are seriously amazing You're brilliant at communicating your ideas I recently watched one where you talk about the top ten songs you started with, which hit home for me When you played "Is there Anybody Out There" Ain't gonna lie I cried a bit Loved that one Great picking song I too chose that Another one is Dee, by Randy Rhodes I was never able to get it But I tried my best My question, which I'm sure you'll never read Lol Hahaha Can you do a video of that song in particular and break that down?
Comment from : Alain Lalonde

Hi Paul, You mentioned the Atkins guitar in the credits but what about the parlor with the maple sides (and back?)? What a beauty!brI love your playing, teaching, and everything about how you conduct yourself on this channel!
Comment from : Hawkman248

An open "D" chord is basically a barred "C" chord moved up two frets, playing only the G,B, and E strings

What guitar you playing pls?
Comment from : architektura zahrada

Write your own songs, don't cop out that you can't Make time to improvise - theory an learning songs is dry without ever touching the creative spark that lives in the instant of now
Comment from : Eric Daure

Oh, and get on stage in front of an audience - art is made to be shared, and an audience will breathe new life an excitement into playing a song you've played 1000 times to perfect - otherwise you get bored Lot's of other great advice in these comments!
Comment from : Eric Daure

I'm playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order - Eric Morecambe to Andrè Previn😂

Do you know a small paper company in Pensylvania that´s short on staff? "asking for a friend" xD

If you can't find others to jam with, invest in a looper pedal It is fun valuable tool

Be prepared to hit plateaus Sometimes you can get thru them quickly other times it takes months or even years But you'll eventually get past every one of them so long as you keep learning and practicing

"you quit for being assistant to the manager of a small paper company in Pennsylvania" 🤣 Good ref dude !
Comment from : Yvan Bertucci

Record yourself, from my experience, your really don’t hear it the same playing the instrument as listening to a recording
Comment from : Christian E Giordano

Any suggestions of where I could learn?? People like him?
Comment from : Stephanie PG

I always say: If you want to learn how to play an instrument…Buy an INSTRUMENT - not a cheap toy!

Being a lefty player has been more challenging for me because every diagram or scale I've tried to learn is backwards and I have to envision it the other way which gets confusing
