ha! its so true.!
you’re right
Ha! stairway to heaven! that was the first song i tried to play. it is an evil song. i have to say that you make a very great point. people that just play and dont learn what guitar was built on are some weird ones (im one of them) some musicians are really good by just playing allot and not knowing what there doing but i know its better for atleast me to learn this basic stuff. it will make me a better player
cool. are you a New Zealander?
I think so. A ‘Kiwi’.
Learning the ‘basic’ stuff never ends, really. Getting it down gives you more options and control. I played for about 30 years without knowing the theory. But boy, once I studied theory it just opened the door for me.
Well yeah, that’s right. There is no shortcut, just go the straight line, all other ways are even longer.
haha this video is awesome. story of my life xD
That’s EXACTLY what happened to me – but I’ll carry on – Thanks!
He’s right
good video
I use tabs for waay to elaborated stuff for me
like spanish romanza and Granada (Isak albeniz)…
Other – like yugoslav rock, and classic american rock I try by ear, simple rumba..
it’s about 1 tab, 10-20 songs by ear.
i`m one of them tooo….i need to go back and learn what i missed
I’m like watching this, and i can’t believe it. You really hit the nerve of it, man. Well, i’m just a begginer, but i’ve seen bunch of guys who droped it because of what ur sayin’. See, i’m 22 yrs old, and i’m just starting. And I don’t have much free time, but i’ll make some.
Anyway, what you’ve said here, is something like I had imagined it should be: Tough and it will take a lot of time. Foundation’s all that matters. Greeting from Serbia, Europe.
This video…. it’s like it was made for me. It’s opened my eyes, and I am so grateful to you, really. And the most funny thing is I’m actually learning Stairway to Heaven now, and I started guitar 5 months ago and I’ve honestly skipped those steps. I am coping well with Stairway to Heaven, but I’ll get it all much faster with the real knowledge behind me. And I’m sitting here in a face-palm position because I should have realised this earlier. This video is a lifesaver. Thanks very very much.
This message has helped me stick to the basics more than any other message. I started about eight months ago and was tempted to take other avenues like tabs etc and came across this message. I am now sticking to learning it from the ground up and even though its time consuming I can already see the benefits. Thank you so much.

nice video. what books and dvds would you recommend to a 3rd level guitar player.
xD!!! Es la historia de mi vida como guitarrista. Llevo solo 3 años tocando guitarra, y no completos, pero no!, yo quiero ya tocar fight fire with fire de Metallica y no toco ni rayando el sol de Maná, cómo es posible? me he saltado como 15 pasos por querer tocar mis grupos favoritos!! Paramore y sus octavas recontra difíciles, que feo, no entiendo que hago con mi vida, esto era lo que necesitaba!! GRACIAS TORTOISEUTUBE!! THANKS VERY MUCH!!! Merci Beaucoup!!!
Excellent advice. Unfortunately, the well worn path isn’t always the most beneficial way. Thanks
this is actually exactly what happened to me… i started learning chords and everything was fine until i started trying to learn songs and completely abandoned the theory.. since i’ve never had a teacher i got no one to correct me and wasted a lot of time because of that
im now learning the penta and major scales but feel a bit down beacause of all the time i wasted
… i love playing the guitar still so.. guess theres hope for me
people learn in different ways. just saying
Thanks so much for the inspirational video! Sometimes I feel so impatient to learn it the straight way, but you’ve shown me that it’s the fastest way!
umm this was a good vid BUT you didnt mention what exactly each step is except for the first 3.
church…yeh rigfht:D but you’ve got a point:)
the only thing i’m kinda sad about is that you never told us all of the steps
@offwithurhead I’m sure you don’t need anyone to hold your hand all the way, do you?
@tortoiseutube but i doooo!..:D
@offwithurhead Then go buy a guitar course and use it. Complete it. Gibson’s Learn & Master Guitar is very good.
