aimless noodling is the best way to get better. youll learn everything that way. Like me, who just knows the main riffs from popular songs everyone knows

"1 in every 3 guitar players has it" *Realizes that of the 3 guitarists we are shown, 1 of them has it*

“You can’t even play an C major chord tf you mean can we play Polyphia”

I've been playing guitar on and off for about 10 years now. The biggest mistake I've made is not pushing myself to grow. Even though I've been playing for a while, I still play the same few songs I learned in the early years. I've just now started learning some theory and began applying that to my playing. It's never to late to learn new tricks!

"Sounds like you're lazy and don't want to push yourself."

the fact that he's in the bathroom WITH the guitar 😭

Bro carrys his guitar in the bathroom Same tbh

"only knows pentatonic" I feel personally attacked

imless noodling is actually how i got to find new shapes within the pentatonic scale to use when i’m playing a solo or smth

i love how seven nation army sounds 🥲 its so simple but always ends up stuck in my head

Thanks bro, you just inspired me to learn another song🙏 I feel like I’ve just been doing my own thing and trying to make music for months now and I’ve just forgotten everything.

As a bassist, every practice session includes Seven Nation Army. It's a tradition of mine.

Watching this on my way to work as a guitar teacher 😅

“Pushing myself as always” plays seven nation army

Seven nation army 😂 I remember when I learned that and my friends and I loved it cuz we all sucked but we could play that song as a full band . Noodling is nice , just can’t let yourself noodle all day or you’ll just get bored and discouraged at the same time . Need to go back to my roots and start learning songs again. ❤

"practicing my licks, pleasuring myself as always"

I can sadly say I also suffer from this disease but after watching this I have started to heal

Thts the most character development ive seen in a while

Every guitar player cries in the bathroom after hearing the fire polyphia drops

this is what my guitar teacher did when i brought a transcription for a Chopin piece lol

GIVE US KHRUANGBIN!

Thanks it's make me motivated to push my self 🙂

Me who sees a song way past my current playing ability and comes back to it in a couple of months:😎 I end up learning it

I tried to learn playing god by polyphia, and it taught me so much. I heavily recommend others to try to play really hard songs, from time to time. It may seem rough at first, but it will drastically improve your technique, once you find out how to do that shit right lol.

Ah, the joys of having ADHD and trying to learn guitar. Everything is a mountain that seems unconquerable. The you eventually get yourself to focus and try it and find it’s not nearly as big a mountain as you thought.

Student: "I want to learn Polyphia songs" Teacher: "Me too" 💀

"Why not?" Because i cant, you cant and we cant

As a human who plays on piano and never played on a guitar I find this somehow relatable

I've gotten to the point where I like buying and tinkering with guitars more than actually playing them :')

scott’s thumping part in the new song is kicking my ass lmao, gonna keep going tho

I feel personally attacked

Had this happen to me when I was 14 and got my first guitar (I'm proud to say the first song I learned was Nothing Else Matters by..... Well if you don't know that's just sad.... And I was especially proud of myself because I learned it in just 3 days. Hand to God.) I thought I was good, even maybe a little bit cocky...... Until I listened to Avenged Sevenfold for the first time...... Sweep picking was WAAAAAY beyond my skill level. Or at least sweeping THAT flawlessly, because there's a kind of a "Sweep-ish" part in the solo for NEM..... But it wasn't basically the entire freaking 7 minute long song!!!! Lol so I cried in my shower for a few weeks and then I found a book on sweep picking. Yeah...... That definitely didn't take 4 days to learn....... That's something I even consider myself not that great at even though people say my sweeps sound clean... Just to me, I'll never be as sweepy as Syn. And that both still makes me sad, but also makes me push myself harder every time I try.

Yeah got laaaaazy myself, quit lessons, rarely played, but now have a truly skilled & patient teacher...

I tried learning Playing God, then I realized it took me 30 minutes to get down 4 minutes of the tutorial at 50% speed. Now I just listen to the song

Pushing myself and proceeds to play seven nation army 🤨😏

These are too relatable

The truth is that most modes are just the pentatonic scale with 1 or 2 notes different. So don’t worry if you only know the pentatonic scale. You just need to know when a song requires you to add or subtract a note or two and you’re not missing much.

YOU ARE HILARIOUS!!

"Aimless noodling" Me: *cries in i-felt-that minor*

Uncle Stevie... Steve Terreberry

“My uncle Stevie had it” 😂😂😂

In crying in the bathroom right now, have you heard the new Ichika Nito piece? Why are my hands so dumb 😭

Never forget the basics

Aimed at me fr. I look up tabs for a song that challenges my ability, try it then move onto another song before even learning anything

Guilty as charged LMAO 🤣

Love your channel, man. Keep it up!

Aimless Noodling that's me and yeah i gave up on polyphia ....when he said you're just lazy it just hit me sooo hard 💔😭 that's deep man

Hey, do u do how to play tutorials?

My dude, the Aimless noodling sounded pretty badass! Gimmie some lessons on that.

"Insert Eric Clapton Boomer bends and Jack white pentatonic shredding 🤣" (All jokes aside, these 2 guitarist are legends was how I started learning guitar. Currently doing Neo Soul Lo Fi genre fusion) Pray Tim Henson doesn't see this 😱

Aimless noodling is the practice of gods

I feel attacked 🤣🤣

Honestly pentatonic solos on piano do sound boring after a minute, at least for me. I quite like using the diatonic notes but also changing key and using chromatic stuff.

I'm trying to learn carcadian by intervals. Sheet happens.

Man played The Forbidden Riff how dare he

The funny thing is polyphia uses a shit ton of pentatonic lol

I relate too hard and now I'm sad

Damn. It’s me.

That so fkn true, i learned goat by myself, and when i asked my teacher to, he couldnt

My issue seems to be just remembering more scales/modes no clue why I been trying to improve more and more but I just feel limited

And i took that personally

did FBI told u bout me?

I'm literally the opposite. Skipped to polyphia but my basic fundamentals are crap

Accurate tho

This cuts deep 😂

Seven nation army

I remember when I was in a band and my friend started getting more into modes.. it was getting impossible for me to write to anything he was making 😂😂

i have the same strat it so uncomfy but it look cool

Stevie T reference

who is a good example of modal shred stuff for intermediates?

I can only play songs that have been out for 20 years

Fun fact: the bass line of Seven Nation Army actually was played on a tuned-down and guitar her

Some people just want to enjoy what they do - not everyone wants to be the best they can be.

Smoke on the water😂

I won't to learn to fly backwards

uncle stevie terreberry?

I…. Have that

Lol I tried to learn pentatonic scales cause I heard they were essential but they were so simple and boring I just couldn't continue

Legit I've been doing this for 9 of my 11 years playing guitar lol

Relatable. Lol

Nice Steve Terreberry refrence 😏

Uncle…Stevie?😏

Yooo I got the same fender strap

So true 🤣👏🏽

Wait. Do you only learn riffs through tabs? Noodling is how you make an original riff for once

Same as me

Hahaha I'm with you

Nice.

Guess I'm a chromaticophile.

I'm definitely not teaching you polyphia but I can teach you how to play any kind of southern rock type stuff

is this the guy who playing ukulele meme

it is funny because I AM in My bathroom break of trying to learn Kyoto Jam by Mateus Asato while crying because it is hard

Uncle Stevie???????? 🤔 any intentional references there?

may I know the title of the first riff he played?

But see i pushed myself and now I'm the whole band but i suck at every instrument equally. I can almost be a punk band!

Only knows the pentatonic. Should I become a bass teacher, I know more then that.

I’m learning never going back again before I learn scales Fuck scales All my homies hate scales

Why attack me like this

Pete Davidson

Antimodalitis is waaaaay more common than youd think! 😭😭😭
