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

I am an advanced intermediate beginner

Another element worth considering is whether you can sustain clean playing (of whatever level of complexity) and solid rhythm with others and most especially when performing live. There are lots of fairly simplistic guitarists who can stay solid with a band or even solo through a set and lots of others who can play more complex stuff in their bedroom but can’t keep it together in live performance.

After watching you for nearly 2 years, I can say that I'm a confident intermediate guitarist. Thanks for helping me find my passion for guitar.

Very quickly I realised I am very much a beginner 😂

Hi Andy - this is fantastic. I've recently been focusing on expanding my practising - and tried these - which to my surprise I didn't find too difficult. I will of course hone for sure - but at this moment - it has given me a snapshot and a better understanding of where I am and importantly where I should be heading. Many many thanks.

The best. Thank you for all your help and excellent lessons. Greatly appreciate. Peace from Boston.

Great video Andy.😊

Great video! Best I’ve seen on this subject

Great video. Thanks for posting this

This is a great selection of songs!

Nice challenge, Andy. Awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍

Good one man your a legend 👏 really enjoying my development.

Nice🙏🙏thks for sharing these technics🙏

Great lesson - great song choices too.

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 .

Nice! I'm almost an intermediate! Thanks for all the great videos! I'm still loving playing your Layla outro! :)

Been playing a couple years, up until recently have considered myself a beginner but watching this and looking at the sort of stuff I can do now I’d call myself an intermediate.

Great job...hugs from Brasil!

Sometimes I play like a beginner and know I can do better. When I do play well it’s a great feeling.

I guess I'm advanced by these standards, but I still consider myself a beginner, there's so much more to learn.

A fantastic video, I really enjoyed it! I can't play any musical instruments but I think I have a good ear for quality music. I love so many varieties of Music, cheers Andy.

Anyone else click on this vid and realize you were better than you thought 🤣🤣

62 YO, only playing watching / listening to you for 3 months. Beginner here! LOL!

Brilliant andy

Nice lesson

Dude u are brilliant, may I learn like u

Really helpful & enjoyable video to watch Andy. Thank you

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!

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.

Thank you! Very interesting class! Greetings from Argentina. 🎊🎉🌎💫😎

Love the shirt!

Wow..so this kind of struming are intermediate song..ok now i know it..tq sir

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.

Very informative 👍

It appears I’m an aspiring intermediate! Thanks! I’ll be practicing even more now!

I like your idea “can you tap it out”. What a great test for rhythm (or not) 😎

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...

Great video. Ironically I am currently learning three of the five songs as part of an Acoustic Duo gig that I have started recently. I haven’t learnt Hallelujah yet, but I am glad I saw your video first for the capo trick. I hadn’t considered that he had used one for this song, but after hearing you play with it on, it makes so much sense. I am going to learn the other two songs just for the fun of it. I would rate myself as an intermediate player heading towards professional. Thanks for the great video again. 😃🙏🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Love that Tracy Chapman's song and it's one of my favourite songs to play

Eagle eye cherry is a great artist , formal now retired in Sweden now living his best life and drinking wine 🍷

There's a secret fourth level: crap. That's my level.

I always thought these 5 were beginner-level skills. I am glad I am halfway on my Intermediate to advanced level journey.

Fast Car and Wherever You will Go were both capo recorded at the second fret

You've helped me a lot with your videos, Andy. Started teaching myself guitar last summer. I am somewhere between beginner and intermediate.

I really enjoyed this video! I can confirm, I'm an Intermediate Guitar player!!

This was a lot of fun! I guess this means I’m intermediate…followed along with you nearly in realtime

Played at my cousins wedding two weeks ago. Definitely was surprised when she asked me to play, as I was only 6 months in and have now only played for 13 months. Learned skinny love and iris in the original tunings over the weekend. Working on cherry wine now

Great little video - I can now say Im Beginner-ish Intermediate-ish!

"learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist" 🎸

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

Yup, I am still a beginner, but now see am on the cusp of intermediate. Push through for Progress! Not bad for an ol' boy. Thanks Andy!

Interesting lesson... I for one picked up my guitar... Good stuff...Sometimes it takes a little inspiration and challenge for me not to noodle.. Many thanks...

Andy can please do a tutorial by Billy Field: you weren't in love with me please. Loved your way of teaching learning heaps,much appreciated.

Learning One in a million gnr helped me get F A/c chords embellishments down and the solo is awesome to play.

I like the t-shirt. Good to see it in the store. Thanks.

Wow what crazy timing I was just looking for intermediate songs to bump up my playing skills 😂👍

Would love to see your take on the top 5 advanced guitarists songs. These intermediate songs were all songs I mostly already knew how to play or could tackle no problem, but I wouldn't necessarily considered myself an "amazing" or "advanced" player necessarily

This was fun and I guess I'm intermediate now after 2 years. Thanks for the lessons Andy!

I like the differentiation between being able to “play” a song and ACTUALLY play it properly. For example, I had a friend in high school who was a beginner, and came to show off when he learned the chords of “Save Tonight”, but when I listened to him play it it was just basic strumming of the four chords with some pretty sus tempo changes. We gave him credit but of course you spot exactly what’s missing. Being an intermediate rhythm guitarist (even tho it isn’t stated, this video is specifically about rhythm guitar) means you hear the nuanced patterns/muting/hammer-ons etc and can replicate them. Being advanced means you can just play much harder stuff accurately and in time. You’ve started slowly and gotten faster, and now there is no slowing of tempo during hard parts and minimal mistakes. But then also there are many types of advanced guitarists. Dave Gilmour can bend 1, 1/2, 2, 2 1/2 steps to perfection from any fret, incredible phrasing and tone, yet for the beginner-intermediate level fingerstyle on “Is there anybody out there?” they brought in another guitarist to play it. James Taylor can play complex fingerstyle patterns ten different ways subconsciously, but give him a Les Paul, crank the distortion, and ask for a screaming solo, and you may not see the same level of mastery.

Faith on a Faith guitar. Epic lead in.

Love the shirt 😂

Great to have something to aim at, very much a beginner still lol

Yup, that confirms it, I'm a beginner.

I am definely a beginning beginner! But I watched just to get an idea of how far I want to go. I played trombone in a concert band at college level, so I have a good sense of rhythm, but I can say that part is probably the hardest to grasp for some people, I've even seen that issue in concert bands.

I am fairly certain I'm an advanced intermediate beginner. Been playing on and off for 30 years. Some things I excel at, some I'll never get. Never the less, I still enjoy it.

I WANT THAT T SHIRT ITS AMAZING

Well, Andy - I confidently placed myself as an intermediate until you introduced finger picking. I’ve always avoided it because it frightens me, and I didn’t know which song to begin learning. Thanks to this tutorial I’m recharge d & am going to attempt “Hallelujah”. Thanks for all you give back to your “students” worldwide. Cheers from 🇨🇦

Yep can do all that 😉

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

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.

Save Tonight was the 1st song I ever played! Have learnt to play it a bit better since though

A nes sub here I am starting intermediate hehe awesome video

Thanks for this video ! After watching your explanation, I believe I'm actually a true Guitar Legend......

cool you do much about groove! totally you have to feel the rhythm, to me it is very much about training your ear and feeling to learn grooves. I can play guitar. In some parts i am advanced, escpacially, when it gets to groove :)

Ed O'brien has a guitar channel!!! Awesome, subed

Thanks for the great tutorials, sometimes I wonder the best position to be playing the strings, and what part, if any, should your right arm be resting on the body.

I love to learn guitar.

I like your hair bro

I love your t shirt

I played all those songs properly and i also learnt playing guitar from ur channel can u make a tutorial on physcosocial by slipknot pls

I'm at the level of "if I was a busker in the street, people would pay me to stop playing". However I'll keep practicing to try and get better.

I can play Snow by the RHCP but still feel like a beginner. This video gave me some confidence. Thanks. Now I can brag a little 😂

Yes

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.

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.

Amazing video!!! Please can you do Jesus Doesn’t Want Me For A Sunbeam by Nirvana, preferably the electric version from the Nevermind tour

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

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

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.👍

I’m an amazing beginner

Recuerdos de la Alhambra is the next goal I am about to achieve

Ive got a decent understanding of acoustic guitar now as well , just recently learned artificial harmonics, but i still struggle with singing and maintaining strumming patterns

To be an intermediate guitarist you need to do power chords, hammer ons, pull off and slides🎸🎸

Intermediate for life.

I feel like the jump from beginner to intermediate is much quicker and easier than the jump from intermediate to advanced. It’s hard to be a really good guitar player.

WOW

Hahahaha I love your shirt

Was messing around with Steely Dans do it again earlier. Still a long way from mastering that song but the fact I can even play it a little and it doesn't sound bad means I must be getting better then I was. Been playing almost 3 years and can play a lot of different riffs. Started out with a heavy dose of Metallica to get my feet wet then started playing more complex stuff like Megadeath, Death, EVH etc.
