Teaching myself

At one time, I asked a guitar teacher to teach John Petrucii solo and he never showed up again... 😂

This video I think

I said I liked the song Johnny Be Good, and my teacher played it until my lesson was over😂

So, I’m in high school, and I had just finished playing a Lynyrd Skynyrd style song for my high school Christmas show, and a blonde girl I had a crush on came up to me and said “You need to teach me how to play. And that’s how I met my girlfriend. See guys, guitar does get chicks.

Fuck u have 666 likes. I dont want to destroy this masterpiece

Dimtris Soult as BBC

That's not Tyler. That's Chad Reddington. He has his own channel. It's mostly just him playing long boring riffs with a lot of power chords

SAME

Not mine! Half hour lesson. I'm playing within 60 seconds of sitting down(he expects you to be in tune when you hit the chair). If I play the previous material well alone, he makes me play it again with him adding rhythm or soling depending on what I'm playing. If he decides I don't need any more work on it, out comes something new within about 30 seconds. 5-10 minutes going over that, and the rest of the time playing stuff I've already learned.

Are ur lessons during 30min?

Lol I have a 45 minute lesson with 5 min talking, 10 min of the scales, 20 min of playing and 10 min of finding a new song and staring to play the new song

My lessons are 20 minutes talking

Cleveland Fan23 what kind of guitar is it. I can’t figure it out. I really want one. It’s beautiful.

@@buddacreem6877 hollow body

Looked like an Epiphone hollow body... Probably around $600-$800. Depending on the model. Not crazy to think nowadays but yeah, definitely a killer "first guitar" Rewatched the video yeah it's an epiphone, they have a 3 pickup model that's about $1000 but the one she has is a sub $800 guitar. Beautiful finish too 👍🤘✌👊

@MAdidas Damn, Is there one online?

Tyler sees the expensive guitar take all my guitars

Thatonegirl0987654321 LOL

omg hahahahhahha

HOW DID I JUST NOTICE THis

IT DOES

your attention to details is outstanding

Thank got I found someone who said it. If you play metallica on that guitar you shouldnt be allowed to own it haha.

Chill she's his wife and she can't play guitar

Dominik Weber it’s a joke yeno

James uses that guitar model in the Nothing Else Matters music video. It's weird.

Yeah, you don’t use a hollow body for a Metallica cover.

Lmao yeah

Admiral Ackbar it’s a trap

Tyler is basically a kid with a wife. And guitars are his toys.

Nah. Tyler is more like your cool uncle who you enjoy being around more than your dad.

Yay!!!!!

Nice! But watch out... those hands like to get busy in many ways

You be careful girl! And remember that you have a good man at home! Most of all, have a killer time!😎

Whatever Stephanie

Lucky!

Yeah my guitar teacher

Lmao 😂

😂😂😂😂😂

Are you personally attacking me, sir? XD

Man I remember being 15 and buying a cheap, shitty piece of..... well shit, and watching the first lesson. It was literally just: * 30 second shred incorporating many distinct scales and picking styles * "Hey guys, John Smith with Guitar XYZ inc. * plugs company for 10 seconds * Today we're gonna learn guitar, alright WAAHHHHHHHHHWWWWWWEEEDLEWEEDLEWEEDLEWEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Same with my teacher but it's just because he loves music so much, I can understand him. Half of all the lessons we are just jamming😂

@@dominikweber4305 That’s pretty cool tbh

That’s probably the type that is the most tolerable.

I can play that on my bass and guitar. Not really an accomplishment but good enough

Keevx I waited so bad for them to make that reference

But he doesn’t believe in deodorant

XD

Have a similar one, we spent like, 15 ish weeks looking at scales, minor, major, pentatonic, blues, etc. I thought it was boring at the time but now that we just spent like, most of the lessons jamming out blues rock I fucking love the man for putting me through theory

Lukas Axelsson same here

Lukas Axelsson same here

@@siriusorsomething7431 my teacher was like that too. we spent over a year on music theory though. it was rough but now its awesome.

@@ethanmetro5096 yeah, honestly when you understand it it's just so rewarding honestly. Shit sucks to learn tho, to this day when that man says "see, this chord is quite special" I want to make his skull meet my schecter, but, it is very fun when you understand.

Also, I TOTALLY had the *stinky* one when I started bass lessons.

FIRST!

Sounds like a lot of guitar players "let me show you this" or "I can play like this" and it turns out to be more fretboard wanking than anything else.

Literally my first guitar lesson ever. I told the dude the kind of music I wanted to learn, and he spent the remainder of the lesson noodling though riffs from the bands I listed.

@@trebmaster It was probably stinky bass strings

Bassist...

My bass teacher is a guitar player so yeaaaa

when i took bass lessons for a short amount of time the teacher was actually primarily a guitar teacher so i didn’t learn cool techniques.

@@matteo-nf1kv I primarily play guitar but I play bass in my band so I really want to get stronger on bass. I just want to learn more techniques besides plucking and using the pick

Lorenzo Novello I play bass but my teacher is a guitarist

This was wholesome

You definitely did the right thing in getting into it again. I mean, why would you deprive yourself of such a beautiful and healthy thing to do? I alway say: "Do what you love, and do it with love".

Same!

@@God-ch4hd nah bro, lessons cost money, just use youtube and yousician lmao

@@God-ch4hd learn all the basic chords try to be good at fingerstyle in 1-5 months and all that pentatonic and music theory will be made easier

@@juleslopez3342 yes bro ;)

But isn't that basically every guitar teacher at some point?

You had a lot of teachers...

Are you sure that the one who didn't wear a shirt wasn't a bassist?

Good for you! What is his contact information?

Yeah that’s my guitar teacher, I have really bad memory so I forget to go to my guitar lessons so when I come randomly after three weeks he’s like ‘hi come sit down let’s tune up your guitar’ he really doesn’t care. Probably the fact I don’t pay him my school music teacher does

Hey hey, what's up you guys! It's Marty with another lesson for you!

Can relate 👀 But I am just a frustratet beginner 👀

I did a big brain, I learned ukulele first, which was easier than guitar, and it made it easier to learn the guitar when I started.

@@tristan3456 Same lmao. But in my case, I can already play a bass, just need to incorporate 2 more strings

thats so cool

Mine too LoL

Crack him over the head and steal his badass guitar, lol. No, don't do that. But still, that's a badass guitar.

Elias Tind reminds me a lot of my teacher he plays an ibanez es335

@@yellownoiseclub But after trying yOusiciAn now it's hard, frustrating *AND* impossible! Stonks📈

is youcisian bad? i use it

@@danielamartinez6323 It's not bad. It's actually good to get you started with the guitar and not quit due to frustration. But in the long run it's not better than a real teacher. Of course you would play along with their stuff but it can't tell you your mistakes. And mistakes are best rectified in the beginning rather than picking them up permanently.

Mark Malinowski I thought he meant it :(

@@ethanbest8921 same

Or they're used to nervous students, that are so physically tense... Building a students confidence is an acceptable foundation teaching method, (e.g. no one plays well if they cannot relax).

@@Emma-kz3zr I can agree with this. I just don't like it when they tell kids that they'll be the next Steve Vai. Commendation is important but teachers need to emphasize that skill is achieved by hard work and practice, not just talent. If you tell someone they have a "gift" they will get frustrated and stop when they get to the hard technical stuff because no amount of talent can break that wall.

I think they usually mean it when they say that you have potential

What.

@@MarioHernandez-zc7dv Hendrix used a right-handed strat with a leftie headstock, so the guitar looks left-handed

@@dr.shivago2404 hendrix was left handed

You dodged a bullet I guess. I hope you found somebody better. Lefty here too and fortunately my teacher has no issue with it.

@@dr.shivago2404 Hendrix played a fully right handed guitar just restrung. The headstock was not lefty

I can't think of a better first lesson than going to a Van Halen concert.

He probably did it to hype you up about the lessons

@@CostasAn It wasn't the first lesson, but anyway man it was a killer show... it was at the Los Angeles Forum, and it was like watching the homecoming kings return. They were on top of the world.

@@disposablehero4110 LOL

@@minigungaming5915 Funny thing is that he wasn't really into Van Halen... my parents just thought it would be more fun if I went with him. He came from the older school that grew up on Hendrix/Clapton/Page. After the concert he said "you realize that his tone and tricks are all just about volume." LOL

Mate i think you need a new teacher

LandoCowDelicion I second that.

Goy im holy shit be careful kid

Don't talk to me or myself ever again

Yepp I was 7 at that time and i remember i was being molested by my tchr I even remember him pulling down his pants and wanting me to touch it Veryy traumatizing But ofcourse it never happened and i just wasted ur time reading this post

zippythedinosaur X actually, one interview he said that james kicked his dog and Dave punched him in the face, and that was basically it. I think he is not ”punk ass bitch”, I think he is one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

Reminds me to the video of what happens when you don’t know guitar and they ask you to keep playing

@@swapnabanerjee7461 I'm sorry

@@maximilien_4382 huh why you sorry?

@@swapnabanerjee7461 Cause i'm ashamed of my joke

Ah fuck. 😂😂😂

that "weird fingering technique" sounds interesting. well, probably have to discover it someday..

@@khada225 Another guitar instructor I had after the first one said it was "spider fingers* (basically I could stretch them far) and it was distinctly the way my previous instructor played guitar. I wish I could explain more, but it's been so long and my technique has probably changed since I stopped lessons, but I think it's just I bent my fingers at a weird angle. I'm not sure what's the proper way is though.

@Rainbow Dash that sounds so cool! Don’t be ashamed about that, as with fingering there is a VERY loose line of “proper technic” at least in my book. I mean look at Hendrix and compare how he holds his guitar to someone like Steve Vai. Everyone has a different playing technic, which is why I love this instrument so much! It’s so personable.

Im working like that after one year of the basic lessons. Its the best to be like a friend with your students :) With some of them,i played also in concerts ! JJGamerboy i think you got the perfect teacher.

@@adabofeverything7120 Reallyyy ?? You lucky little bastard

I love this reference to the office

Dwight: "Stop trying to figure me out." Rober California: "I already have."

I took a few lessons back when I was 15 in 2000, but after the guy showed me bar chords, power chords and a few basic songs with some solos, and also showed me how to use tablature, I continued learning by myself. During the pre/early internet era lessons were more common because the information to learn wasn't as easily accessible as it is now, especially if you were from a rural area like I was. Now you can learn all the basics for free online. Not that you couldn't learn on your own before the internet, but now everything is made so much easier to learn with all the videos etc. if you are willing to put in the effort.

@@yearginclarke Ahh yes that is true. I just always felt the need to learn on my own, because I honestly believe that now with my current skill, experience, and amount of time I have had with the instrument, I don't need to go to classes or lessons. Maybe the experience of witnessing a lesson could change my perspective eventually, but as of now, I am happy where I am. Also really informative and awesome story of your history to see my man.

@@RC32Smiths01 Yeah I don't think anyone really needs lessons anymore. The only "lessons" I got after my start was playing with other guitarists and in a band. I did learn a little about song arrangement, timings and structure by playing in an amateur garage band from the more experienced guys. But mostly I learned everything on my own, and focused on developing playing by ear after a while.

@@yearginclarke Ahh yes I did most of the same, minus ever being in a band haha. Ye I find that not only learning on our own helps develop guitar skill as time progresses along with consistency and determination, it also makes ye feel proud of yourself and builds self esteem for more general life experiences.

Hell yea brother
