THANK you KEVIN, iM TRYING

❤😮❤ ok so i have an acoustic guitar. So- I bought an electric guitar and the amplifier and 2 cables the sales guy ask if i was wanting a effects pedal so long list ( what pedal do I need) the amplifier is a hog30watt pig nose battery powered by car battery. But it has no effects❤😮❤

going from bass too guitar and already being at level 5 is the affirmation I needed, thank you <3

No, sorry friend, the proper acronym is Elephants And Donkeys Grow Big Ears

We need more these. I never found a video which explained pentatonic scale so deeply and well. Keep making these theory videos!

Well at least I know my 10 year plan now😩

You are an inspiration! Clear, concise, believable and in my late 50's I never thought I could ....'till now. Thankyou

What the hell am I doing here? I have a final test tomorrow. I don't even have guitar.

Best explanation I've ever heard!

I play guitar for over 20 years, however, I learned by myself mainly to play Christian songs I like. I never had the intention to play in public, to be a professional, to play in a band, to be in a music ministry or so. Eventually, I begin playing in Church, study the theory (all by myself), but because I learned alone, I lack proper technique, always struggled with rhythm, tempo, and find it hard to play with other musicians. Your videos are helping me to finally fill the gap and pick up the little things I left behind in my guitar journey... Thank you so much!

I wish there was on of these guides for learning to play Keyboards

can somebody plz help me out im on level 4 and I have no idea what the 2nd position major pentatonic scale is Ive tried searching it up on KZfaq but Its always different things and Its always minor pentatonic scale. Ive tried searching up the tabs but different results come up and I dont know which one to learn someone please help me im so lost

First of all, thanks you it does help a bit for what I need to know so far. But to be fair to everyone any instrument should be like a drug, that you are addicted too, it will swallow a lot of time and money and it’s a endless never ending story 😂 so if you wanna start, you should love the pain what will be ahead of you 💪

Nice! I'm on level 3 with just 1 month of learning 🎉 (and 6 months of ukulele play around) This is a nice roadmap. Good work!

That's interesting how you said that at level 4 is where an instructor can come in and be beneficial. That's true now, but years ago, there wasn't any internet. Young players are so lucky to have all these killer resources available. Personally, I struggled with technique and developing bad habits early without an instructor. Even still, some techniques are difficult to grasp even if you have an instructor, so getting the right instructor is even more important. I tried learning vibrato technique on my own and I still haven't figured it out well enough to be say I can do it well. That one skill is super important in my opinion and it's easy to get wrong or simply remain mystified about it. Then you could be using a terribly setup guitar and be subconsciously miserable every time you practice because you know something just isn't right with your equipment. I feel like every guitarist at level 4 should be able to setup their own guitar and know how to do it well. I would say a good goal at level 4 and even above is to focus on being a super solid rhythm guitar player and create your own backing tracks. When you can nail down good rhythm guitar, you are well on your way to being a valuable resource for any band or jam session you come across. I play drums as well so that makes things really interesting in terms of creating my own tracks. I just need to learn bass to go the final mile but there are ways to get around that. Recording yourself playing full tracks that don't stop until they are finished. That's the best way to judge your own skills.

Love this video! Everyone always just shows chord shapes, and that's it, but you showed how to use them. Love your videos, man. One of the greatest guitar teachers here on KZfaq, I'll always remember you by using what you taught. Thanks man!

it is something what i was looking for my entire childhood, Selftought

you can make a video about 7th chords? 🥺 by the way i love your videos :)

Thank you Guitar mom

0.0 day three of guitar and i have no idea what he even said at level 1 hahah

Hey guys. This is a solid lesson plan and you can do all this without a teacher. If you follow these steps and practice daily you'll be able to play the guitar fairly well in less than 2 years. You will have all the physical parts on playing under control. Just be sure to make time to play for fun after practice, play along with your favorite albums, and learn some melodies etc.

The hardest part for me is keeping strumming pattern going while I don't hit the strings. It feels impossible. Can you get away with not doing it this way or is this the defacto skill I need to learn?

Super helpful video, love it!

There’s no written roadmap we could print out or copy to computer to edit as we progress?

Awesome clearly understood video. Can’t wait to get home and play around with it and Layla pentatonic scale

Trying to strike a cord and it’s probably A minorrrrrrrrrr

I see... got a long way to go~

Ahhhh! Why is my attention span so bad 😫 It's so hard for me to remember and focus 😔

That funk in B sounds like Limp Bizkit's version of George Michael's song Faith lol

@kevinnickens I am writing an ebook guide for people who want to learn how to play the guitar and I am including your lessons in it, putting them in the right order, so they can learn them step by step at their own pace. I have copied and pasted the links to your KZfaq videos so my future readers will be routed to your tutorials. I find your channel very educational, fun, and beginner-friendly. All your lessons are well-explained and organized. P.S. I am an average guitarist. Started learning when I was 14 years old, currently I am 27. I admit I still have so much to learn. I'm also a writer-wannabe that is why I'm writing this ebook guide about guitar for beginners.

Hey I'm 8 😝😝😝😝😝😝

Love, the tough love attitude. Dish it out

Who in the world starts playing guitar just to get a girlfriend?? I started because it looks fucking cool and I love music lol posers

Your jokes are funny 😄😅

this video gives me imposter syndrome. ive been playing since i was 6 but like... do i really know what a strum is

I am a total beginner with some knowledge of harmony and the CAGED system works well for me. I always use it as a warmup and use it to learn the root notes on the guitar.

So much for me to learn just for some C Locrian improv 🫠

this is hard

Saving this video for when I purchase my guitar.

Really enjoyed your video ❤

Bro haccker 😂

this channel is a gold mine

Waiting for that next video 😏

It's been 4 years since i started learning guitar and them gave up cz I didn't understand what use are scales. Your guitar map and now this video are giving me a new beginning. Thanks

I love guitar Even guitar I have a Drum instrument that's Fun too to Play Drum even Guitar

Im intermediate, like i can lesrn alot of songs quick but thats it, my own music snd improv is hella basic and ion know much theory ive been in a total rut

Dude. Great video.

Love this series. I think we're due for another. But it's a great series concept, for one. I feel like your dad and I may be of a similar music affinity. Just saw the the link for 74/75 (Great song, great group)?!? For some reason it's easy to miss, folks, but it's first in the description.

Thanks 🎉

Jesus died on the cross for your sins he became sin so you would be forgiven!! We have all sinned but it we repent of our sins and ask Jesus who is the son of God into our hearts your forgiven. He actually says he throws away your sins into a sea of forgetfulness isnt that amazing!! He is returning soon and he wants to take you with him but most of all he wants to have a relationship with you so just say this Jesus i am a sinner wash me in your blood forgive me of my sins set me free and encounter me!! Jesus is calling you today please answer he loves you so very much
