Thanks pal ! Great tutorials, i am struggling a little but i will get there 😉💪💯
I've spent 10 days on the first day of a 10 day guitar course. I'm special.
Same idea here. It take me 2 minutes to play a chord.
I'm special 🤣🤣
I only spent 9 days haha im better😅
@@kraugel4241 I'm getting there, it's just getting time to practice , I do it when ever I have a spare minute
lol
I came here almost 3 years ago. And I will tell anyone who’s trying to learn guitar, this is probably the best start you can get! Good luck! You can all do it!
Heyyy , thanks man ✌️😀
Where to go after this?
Just finished my first lesson and was feeling a little discouraged. Your comment just gave me hope! Thanks!!!
@Fret Flames thx for motivation
I need a miracle to learn it...
I came here to learn guitar 7yrs ago to persue music, and now I successfully opened my own band and published 2 songs, thanks to this man❤
Crazy reading comments like this on a 7 year old video. I’m just starting and reading your comment gives me hope haha 😅
Wonderful. I want the learn so I can inspire my young son who loves listening to indie music.
Band name
Congratulations man.
can anyone suggest here songs with only two chords - EMAJOR AND A MAJOR? IT WOULD REALLY BE A BIG HELP
I'm 70 years old and received a guitar for Christmas. Watching this makes me think I can do this! Thank you! I'm going to subscribe and follow you Andy.
What a legend.
Try Marty music
good luck !
I am 43 and also giving it at try. Enjoy!!
I'm two years younger and I'm going for it too. Or I will be when I have a guitar.
Damn I should've been learning this when quarantine started but no, I just had to get the sudden urge to learn this once classes have begun and now I want to do everything EXCEPT study 🤦
Mee too dude but I've ditched the last class to learn this
😂
why is this me omg
I’m in the same boat 🤣🤣🤣💀💀

Hi Andy, 4 months ago I finally tried this challenge after looking at it for years. It took me about 2 weeks to manage all 10 days and forced myself to try practising each and every day. 4 months later I can't put down my guitar. I just played here comes the sun, Don't look back in anger, Californication and Clocks. I never thought I would be able to do this and enjoy it so much. All thanks to this series. To everybody reading this. Keep pushing! You can do it! The more you try, the more fun it becomes. I believe in you!
I got 1 week to impress her
What happened bro
Impressed her ?
Bro got rejected maybe
@@__mercy Yeah 🥲, I tried my best but unfortunately I failed
@@__mercy I tried my best but failed 🥲😭
a tip for anyone that struggles with retaining info or muscle memory. when you get the chord right, put down the guitar and close your eyes for a min, when you get the second chord right do the same. when you get a smooth transition, do the same. when you close your eyes after doing a task your brain flashes through the task over and over again, basically doing reps without you having to actually do them and it does it so fast you wont even realise its happening.
Thank you for this tip I'm going to try it now ❤️
@@Shleebster you're very welcome mate, hope it works well for you
Ima try this I hope it actually works😅
Thank you Jim!
@@ShleebsterSooooo has it worked?

Lol i learned in a day actually
I just wanted to thank you Andy. I came here about 3 years ago now and you showed me the absolute basics of open chords and this is where my guitar journey started.
What a ride it’s been, thank you for inspiring me to improve my life with the awesome instrument that is guitar and if you’re a new player reading this: DONT GIVE UP, Even after a long break. Keep your guitar out in the open the constantly remind yourself of why you started. Have fun and good luck on your own journeys!
I bet that he is proudly watching you from heaven. Don’t give up! 😇🔥
I'm at the end of day 15 of practicing every day and I'm reviewing all 10 days to see the progress I've made. I can finally switch between these two cords without hesitation 🎉 slowly but surely! But I'm loving every minute of it
I started guitar about a year ago and for anyone trying to learn I’d say this is the best place you can start. Looking back now it’s funny how difficult this was.
You have no idea how relieving this comment is! LOL
Thanks for the support. I really needed this during this desperation time lol
Yeah it's quite difficult... I will also come back here after 1 year 😁
Exactly I started a year ago as well and it’s definitely more simple with these videos
Agree with all the comments above! So rewarding to play even something so simple...
This dude just gave me homework.
And I am actually doing it...
Kookie? Is that you?

Hi! ARMY
Omg army party
HAHAHAAHA u better listen to daddy
I played my guitar so much as a kid, I would practice for hours every day. It brought me so much happiness and creativity but life sort of got in the way and one day I put it down and never picked it up. Now almost twelve years later I'm picking it up again and I'm so happy I found this place to start. Andy is a great teacher and I'm feeling more encouraged than ever! Keep practicing everyone, that's the only way to get better (and for your fingers to stop hurting :) )!
I was looking for this comment, thank you
Two chords down. Taylor Swift, here I come.
😂 Same haha
Without a guitar I got cocky and started watching the later lessons. Now that I have a guitar, lesson 1 is kicking my ass...
Thats tuff
😂 reality check
I was just about to do the exact same thing, thanks for saving me mate :')
Lmao same😭😭
Hey can you just help me in buying a guitar
By the time I switched from E to A he already completed the whole song...
So true! I’ve been on day 1 for an embarrassingly long time
Im in tears 😂😂😂😂😂

Got my guitar in November 2023 and very anxiously only starting today 11 April 2024. I really want and need to play the guitar now, I'm 69, before getting older. My late husband was a lead guitarist in a band. So sorry I never asked him to teach me when he was alive. 😢❤
I bet that he is proudly watching you from heaven. Don’t give up! 😇🔥
First watched this video on April 17th 2023, and have been playing pretty much every day since. Have met some of my closest friends through learning this instrument and playing music and have had my passion for music reignited. Currently preparing for the biggest performance I've taken part in yet! I want to sincerely thank you Andy for creating such an amazing starting point on my and so many other people's journeys and for making each of these lessons so engaging! Cheers man, all the best to you and keep inspiring people to enjoy making music!

yes brother, did you find any way to learn?
Oh man. If you think those are hard ...You’ll LOVE add 9 chords 😂 ( for reference, check out the police’s message in a bottle or every breath you take )
We've all been there mate 😂😂😂
My fingers are gonna start bleeding at some point 😀
my fingertips are in pain
Played on a brand new Ibanez for Christmas roughly two decades ago. Got lessons, did alright, expanded my skills and bought new guitars. Haven't played consistently in the last 15 years and now feel like a total beginner all over again. Only guitar I have left is that Ibanez, now older and beat-up from years of lack of care.
Thank you to my wonderful wife for keeping my Ibanez in decent enough condition through the years I was struggling. I am finally in a place to start all over again and this seems like the perfect place.
I just got a "CZcams is a bad place to learn to play guitar" ad and now I'm confused.
He's the proof that the ad is lying 🙇♀️
Me too I comented on that a year ago
That's because someone wants you to pay for lessons.
There's some great stuff on youtube.

bruh im jelous
I started playing 4 months ago never played before and started off watching these 10 lessons i can play loads of songs now iv been playing almost every day since i started doing songs now with barre chords and power chords so i would say to anybody thats here that wants to learn that it does work and these few videos got me up and running so give it a go and thanks Andy for the lessons really appreciate it you made it easy to understand and encouraging thanks mate and to anybody wanted to learn stick with Andy and he will get you were you need to be. 🤟🙂
After many years of wanting to play guitar, I've started playing the guitar last week with Andy and I just love it!!! I'm on lesson 7 now, going well. I understand that the transitions are the most challenging. The songs Andy chose are great for my motivation! Lot's of fun so far - Thanks!
So.
I just bought a used guitar and I spent the first 10 minutes wondering why it didn't sound the same even if it was in tune only to realize that my strings are upside down because the owner was left handed
omg
Bruh
lmao
LMAO 😂😂😂
Wtf😂😂😂
is it normal that my dog leaves the room when i play?
it is totally normal
Thanks you made me lough 😂💞
My dog looks like he is turning deaf whenever I play
Not just me then. One of mine went straight to the door to get out. Bit rude. The other curled up by my side and fell asleep. Depends on the dog I guess!
Yes. Yes it is
This is really tough for someone who has never played any instrument. It is very easy to follow. Thank you for your time. It's much appreciated.
i’m a bass player (and a music educator) trying to become more versatile and i found this to be incredibly helpful! cant wait to keep going with your content.
It's taken me three days to complete day one. But what I was most struggling with was changing between chords. I would have days where I would sit and just practice that. Making sure my fingers were in the correct position, making sure each string was ringing out. In the beginning I was stressing out that I wasn't picking it up as fast as I thought I should. But once I put that thought aside and focused on the reason I wanted to learn, (My love of music and guitar) I found lots of enjoyment and happiness in the process of learning.
There're thousands upon thousands of songs out there. I can play Sultans of Swing now, which is a big deal to me because I adore the song. But I've learned loads of songs on the road towards that goal, and I promise the satisfaction from learning a song never wears off, no matter what song it is. Keep at it, for sure!
Chloe, You have tapped into the very first step every guitarist should take: "What is my purpose for playing?" The next step is visualizing what it will look and sound like in the future when you are playing as you desire. This is the key to persisting. Keep your eyes and ears on your purpose for playing.
I'm curious... Watching his videos, has it helped in the 2 months since your comment?
How you doing 3 months on?
Me too girl. Lol
The first day of how to learn guitar tutorial made me motivated to sell my guitar 🙂
lmfao
😂😂😂😂😂
me too.
Wtf 😆😆😆
I have gotten a weird obsession of wanting to play guitar. Literally the only thing I listen to is acoustic guitar covers. 💀
This should be day 2. Day 1 should be about how to hold the guitar, what strings play what notes, and how to tune the guitar.
All my life, I've been wanting to learn guitar. I finally bought my first guitar in 2022 and started watching guitar tutorials, but I stopped and headed directly to learning songs, which I probably sucked and stopped completely in 2023 due to work, but this year, 2024, will be the year I learn guitar. This is my first day here, and I will update my journey in every 10 videos, even if it takes days or months. Wish me luck, guys! 🤞
it took me 2 hours to make the 1 chord. I WILL NOT GIVE UP THAT EASYLY
You can do it!
U GOT THIS BRUH,
I BELIEVE
IF YOU GIVE UP IM GOING TO LITERALLY BURN DOWN MY PLANT POT
@@socialanxiety9153 im still playing. Learning seek and destroy rn guitar is shits tons of fun. Thx for the support

Does anyone know where can I get a new set of fingers ?
😂😂😂
My fingers hurts so bad 😂😂💔
eduardo camarena my hands are too small so my fingers can’t reach:)
That or the heavens 🙏🏽✨⚡️💥🎸🎼
3-4 weeks down the road, if you practice 2x's a day for about 15 mins, your new fingers will arrive in the mail.
About two to three years ago i remember starting here😭 I've come a long way and i recommended this course to my friend who just started thinking back i couldn't have gotten here without u andy! Thank u so much!!!
When I was young, I started to try and play guitar. And just after learning “happy birthday”, I quit. I didn’t feel good enough. My guitar for the longest time has been sitting in my room, tuned- but unplayed. Everytime I looked at it I felt ill, and guilty. Like a failure. But a random burst of motivation told me to try, and this video was not only super helpful, but also extremely inspiring. I want to try doing this again, thanks to this man right here. It means the world to me. ❤️
Good luck!
i'm happy to announce that after two weeks of playing, I can FINALLY move onto day 2 :)
Lol
im happy for you!!

ive always wanted to play guitar and yesterday i deleted all my social media bc im tired of always excusing myself to watch tiktok an hour more. today i borrowed my moms old guitar that has been standing in our basement for years now. i completely forgot how nice it is to work on a talent or skill instead of laying on my bed and doing nothing - thanks for your lessons andy!
By the time I switched from E to A he completed the whole song....
You can do it! That's how I started! You can do it. Believe in your self!
That's what i did when I'm beginning almost a year ago, now I'm still slow but I'm getting it. But i do spider walk every days though.
Dead...lmao

2 years ago, i came to this video. It's a great starting point. I started with acoustic then move to electric 5 months later. Now i have a cover band and my skill still growing! Thanks Andy! 🎸🎸
Coming across your videos has inspired me to pick up the guitar again. Just watching how you break down each element makes me feel like I will be able to learn over time.
Its been four years and this man is still replying to comments
I'm gonna rewatch this video after I get a guitar
Me too 😂

ive been playing guitar for a year then me and my family moved and i had no teacher. My guitar just standed there for about 4 years and now it does fun to play with it and learn from youre videos thanks
Okay, day 20, i finally play both chords without crying from the pain
HAHAHA
@@puddingg7861 dude, why would you laugh at a person crying in pain
@@puncy3845 oh sorry i didn't mean it like that, i thought they were exaggerating
@@puddingg7861 ah ok, it is understandable either way
To me it was painful only for the first 3 days
Here's a word of advice. Unless you're gifted this is not a ten day course. It took me over a week to get to Day 3. Just practice each lesson and move on at your own pace.
Totally true and all good! Definitley go at your own pace. But please pick up your guitar for 10 minutes a day to really feel the benefits and progress! All the best guys ✌🎸
@@andycrowley I'm gonna try out today 😍
@@andycrowley thank you for your lessons 💕
true its been ages im still on day 1. I feel i cant move on yet cause my A minor sounds a bit iffy.
The same with me,I've only just started this week, and I can only just play Wild Thing,but I still struggle at looking at what my figures are doing and keeping the beat at the same time.
that a major chord is going to increase my grip strength by 300%
Starting to learn guitar bc my dad gave me one as a gift.
Day 1: I think I got switching between these notes pretty fast and they make a pretty good sound.
I have practiced my guitar, but I haven't moved to the next video bc of time so I'll say the days in-between the actual lessons.
I'll start the next video soon
Okay I'm restarting, I know how to play the notes really good but I can't remember their names really. Today I'm going to practice for a few hours and put how far I get
I refreshed myself on lesson 3 and then I did 4. I'm pretty good at switching the notes, just it sounds a bit off. I would play for longer but my fingers start to hurt, hopefully they get used to it in a few days
Ngl after like lesson 8 I stopped watching them, great lessons but I ended up learning pocketful of rainbows and the last of us, recently I've been playing everyday even if that means just going through the chords I know which really helps.
Honestly, the comment section is encouraging me so much! I thought I was the only one who's finger tips feel like they are about to fall off.
My fingers is cramping....
Yup truu it really hurts. I thought the same tho
my fingers are red and feel like they're about to bleed😂😂
i remember watching this video as a beginner about a year ago and all i have to say is enjoy the process
Mine hurts alot but hey i wanna become famous soooooo
FINALLY I CAN GO TO DAY 2 AFTER TWO WEEKS OF DAY 1.KEEP TRYING BOYS.
Pain 😭 i keep touching other strings at the same time!
@@vidurpanchoo7064 ya that happened to me make sure u cut ur nails and when you put your finger on a string try and put it a little lower than the gap that goes in ur nail and it should sound better that’s what I did and I wouldn’t hit the strings I didn’t need too.
Are u done learning guitar now??
Thanks buddy😊
Progress update
I remember taking this ten day course, it was very helpful. Sometimes I still come back and look at it just to remind myself how far I came with playing guitar. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

When I was 14 I bought my first guitar. I got lazy at learning it because I can't find the right video tutorial to teach me so I hid my guitar and never touched it again. Now I'm 16 and it's our summer vacation so I'm really trying to learn it again.
Day 1: Success! I learned my first two chords and did the changing chords.
Yes! I'm 47, a lifelong Rocker, I just learned to tune a Guitar & the Electric Funeral riff last night, and now I can strum "For What It's Worth"... Livin' The Dream! Thanks, Andy!
Thank you, I am a 68-year-old woman. My son thought, I should learn the guitar, as this was a dream for so many years. I know very funny. This will probably take me a very long time. Such fun
Jean Kelly good luck with it! I’m sure you’ll do great :)
It is never too late to start! Go For It!
Age is just a number. Fulfill your dream!
Its nice to see so many positive replies to this.
You got this!!
Anybody else trying to learn guitar because they bought one at the beginning of lockdown but haven't picked it up since and feel guilty of not doing anything for an entire year? No? Just me? Great...
Lol my father randomly bought a guitar to he literally never touched it
Actually I bought it like 5 years ago and never touched it..but here goes nothing
My brother gave me his old guitar and my finger might just bleed on these rusty strings😭
It's led up against my excercise bike
I bought a Walmart version guitar toy as a 7 year old thinking it was a real guitar but I found out later that it was not so I did not use it for years but now I am using it to practice just to see if it was really worth it to buy a real guitar.
Appreciate the patience shon in this video! Gives me a little hope I can get somewhere musically without being aggravating to anyone! Thanks a bunch!
Don't even have a guitar right now but seeing this is just so amazing. I am very excited to practise all these chords on a real guitar some day(currently practising with my stationary box 😂)

As a saxophonist who’s wanted to learn guitar, but never been able to, this video was very helpful
Hey @andycrowley. I'm two months in the course and I'm approaching lesson 5. This playlist being put together a year ago still has, at least mine, following. I am supporting it with your website and materials included there. I spend at least 2h a day practicing but being in my 40's I think it takes me longer than it takes to your usual student. Nevertheless, playing guitar gives me a lot of joy and I am very grateful for your help and encouragement in each video.
Once I feel a bit more proficient with the instrument I am planning to sign up for your commercial offering but for now I am focusing on the basics.
Thank you again for your time and work you continue to put into teaching. I wish you many successes and equally enchanted students as yours truly 😉
I've been playing 17 years and just decided to watch this. I am glad there are smart, talented teachers helping people get started. Thank you man
Okay but being a guitarist and having your username being “dive bomb Doug” is so sick
I guess when this guy said day one, he expected us to practice the whole day.
😂😂😂😂 you said it. Changing the chord is not working out well for me
@@swetabaruah2912 stay with it, it'll come with time
Ling Ling 40 hours can be applied to guitar.
@Bubbles •man, I currently practise around 2 hours a day, and though i have excelled at this particular thing, I had to practice way more than one day.
I have no problem in keeping my fingers on strings, it's just rlly hard to press the strings with the appropriate amount. Or else it just keeps buzzing. Guess he rlly meant a day for us lol
Its been 2 years since i watched this video and i cant thank you enough for where I've come to today. Life been good, guitar is guitaring, practice is practicing. All is well
My sister got a guitar yesterday and I’ve been sneaking off to play it and I think I’m picking it up pretty quick so far! I can play the man who sold the world already
Dude is it possible to learn all the chords in 4 days and play basic songs?? I'm really at that point and need to get it right, my life depends on it now :))
I have the entire 24 hours to spend on it, please tell me I can do it 🙏🏾🙂🙂
For your information, have never touched a guitar in my life before. If this goes wrong, probably won't again either
I started playing guitar when I was ten and went to a guitar school for 4 years but felt like I learnt nothing. When I turned 14 I found a different t school that actually started to teach me, but due to circumstances I had to leave after a month. I tried to teach myself and found it extremely difficult and I fell out of touch with my skill. I find that Andy's videos are the easiest to follow and make learning simple and fast. I have loved the guitar my entire life and have dreamed of learning how to play it from a very young age. I just recently picked up my instrument for the first time in 5 years and decided to start from the very beginning. Thank you Andy for helping me start over
Aw you have been going through a guitar life timeline. I am glad that you kept going no matter the circumstances
I have a similar story. Played guitar till the end of my middle school years. Now I see that I have forgotten everything and this video motivated me to practice starting from 0
Same
This is very depressing and inspiring at the same time. Good luck friend, and thank you.
This was the same thing for me but with taekwondo. I did taekwondo from 8 to 12yrs. Then i stopped due to circumstances. Now i cant remember anything lol...
Starting today y'all👍
On 12th April 23
[Day 1] 12th April
40 minutes and I'm already mastering lesson 1! Now I just need to be able to do it without hesitance.
1 day and I've completed lesson 1, now time for lesson 2.
[Day 2] 13th April
Everything's going well so far! D chord is a little difficult because of how slippery my fingers get but I'll get it eventually. About 20 minutes in and it's all going quite smoothly.
Another 20 minutes and i'm already getting better! D is almost easy for me, but I sometimes have to pause for a bit and adjust. Which I will have to practice to not do that all the time.
[Day 3] 14th April
I can now move onto lesson 3!
Actually wasn't as hard, this lesson actually helped me switch chords faster. I should still keep practicing though. I'm moving quicker than I had expected :)
15 minutes of lesson 3, now I can quickly move to lesson 4.
Lesson 4 surprisingly isn't as hard! But it's still a bit difficult. Keep trying :)
After a while of practicing, I can already move onto lesson 5. Which is really quick!
Lesson 5 is so fun!! I'm getting really good at it, I'm making so much progress!!
Lesson 5 done. I might do lesson 6 but I'll try a bit of it and then fully practice back on Monday!
[Day 4] 17th April
Okayokay, back to it! A little demotivated but I have to keep going :)
Lesson 6, it's a little difficult but it's very enjoyable! So many new chords, so I might have to make a list of the chords too.
Lesson 6 is starting to get easier! I just need to be more speedy, I'm so happy now. Everything is going so well, but I certainly have a REALLY long way to go!
I'm getting really good at it now. Depending on when I master it, I can move onto lesson 7 tomorrow.
[Day 5] 18th April
Alright, starting lesson 7!
Things are well! Pretty fun lesson, but sadly my last one for now. I have a vacation that'll take two weeks, so no updates til then! I'm already getting better :)
[Day 6] 2nd May
Im back from the trip!! Now its time to continue lesson 8.
I unfortunately dont have as much time at the moment, but it was fun! I really loved playing the G scale. Singing while playing the chorus is a bit difficult, but i know that needs practice, so overtime, i can achieve that skill! I'll practice lesson 8 a little more tomorrow and continue onto 9!
[Little break on 3rd May] Sorry, I may have to discontinue for a bit, but I'll get back to it once everything is settled! My sister got infected with covid and is now occupying the room where the guitar is. I also prefer playing alone, silently, but now that the room is taken, I have no where private to play the guitar. I unfortunately can't continue for about another week, but I promise, I'll keep up! Keep practicing( ◜‿◝ )
[Day 7] 19th May
I sincerely apologize for having no updates in a while, this month has been really cramped! But im back at it.
Lesson 9, here we go!
Everything is fun, it wasnt as hard as i thought. Though, i need to get used to strumming. Especially because i cant find the guitars pick! This day was really fun and i enjoyed it a lot! The days are almost over, im so happy :)
[Day 8] 26th May
Lesson 10!!!!! Lets gooo!!
It was so fun to learn!! It ends up sounding so good at the end. I realy liked this lesson a lot. It did take a lot of attempts, but i managed. So... That should be the end for my journey! Thank you for reading this comment. Good luck on your journey now, dont give up! I hope you'll be a master in guitar one day. I'll make sure I'll be great in the far future!! 🎉🎉🎉
keep it up
@@jjohnson8353 Thank you! Hope I'll get better with it :)
How do you cope with sore fingers and touching another string close by?
Day 1 8.30pm, Sun., 16th April, 2023, and I have ADHD!!
@@psmylife6832 Well, they do get sore but the pain isn't the pain that I'd be disturbed by! Wanting to play the guitar is a dream and I know that I won't let sore fingers stop me. It'll take some practice, but surely, you'll get the hang of changing chords.
For me, it gets a lot better in a few days, so keep going! The soreness will surely be nothing once we both get the hang of it :))
(Also, I'm not sure if ADHD would affect your learning process but anyone can do it! I'm not too educated on ADHD and such, but you can still achieve the skill overtime)
Alive bro
Thank you so much! I am a begginer and I'm starting a little late like 2023. I'm just 17 and I'm learning really fast from you ❤❤❤ you are best brother
I've played guitar for 8 years. As a joke, my friends forwarded me this video. Takes me back to my first guitar lesson😢
Me : watching the whole video without having a guitar 👁👄👁🤚🏻
Mom I’m famous 🕳🤸🏼♂️
Oh you are not alone ✌🏻😬
Same ;-; btw this is my grandma account
Me: watching it with my guitar in the corner of my room because it's like 7 AM. LOL. I'm going to come back and actually try later lol
Order placed😜
Same
I'm 26, never played an instrument in my life. Last year, you taught me how to play the ukulele and now you're teaching me how to play the guitar. Great lessons, thanks so much!
Between ukelele and guitar, which did you find easier to learn?
@@user-de1vp6fd9e if you’re wanting to play a ukelele, u must start with learning guitar first.
im 26 also and never played anything ever! im starting with guitar this monday ! im scared shitless! any tips from your expirience would be great 👋👍👍
Oh snap I'm 26 as well I've always wanted to learn guitar and have never played an instrument in my life. I went down to my parents and there was a manly old gutair bag on the porch with a neglected guitar inside... no idea where it came from but its mine now
@@zxz7243 false, I learned multiple songs on the uke before the guitar, faster, and easier.
I’m 13 and just started playing and I’m trying to find tutorials thank you this is the best 🙏🙏
Your channel is the reason why i finally had the guts to order my guitar. It's my day 1 and i just completed my work. It's the middle of the night, i learned the E chord will wait till morning to get that fixed
I think am creating my own cords cD
Lol same
😂😂
lmao
Damn😂😂
tamam emad keep it up .. You are going to be a legend..
Man I really wanna learn guitar..
My fingers: do u want us to fall down
But now my fingers r quite numb😂😂n I can't sense the pain ..u2 keep going on bro
Same here😂😂
@@rippitasar5444 how much time did it take to feel no pain??I've just started
@@suprajasomesula2555 less than a month..it depends on how much u practise after that the finger tips skin become hard 😂
@@rippitasar5444 tq!! the skin on the tips already getting dark :-)
Used to learn guitar but then I gave up but this video reminded me to get back, amazing video
Learning guitar after my dad passed to feel closer to him. Thank you for making it easier
Thanks for sharing that, it means a lot. Lost my Dad 10 years ago and music is magical for keeping the memories strong ❤
Sorry for your loss! Keep at it so when you meet again, you can play that perfect chord!
oh my gosh. me too!!
me too!!!
@@mollygipson9114 me too!
RIP fingers.
Atef I hear you. I had to quit and read the comments to distract from the pain.
Finger tip agony.
lol atef u heree :D i remember you from the willford remix contest really liked your progressiv remix keep it up
Try it after you take a hot shower. While your fingers are pruned. It gets deep.
Winner of a video, I've been looking for "training for guitar" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Peynharlotte Acoustic Smasher - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my neighbour got great success with it.
agreed
im just wondering, how many of the 28 million who watched this really learned how to play the guitar and didn’t give up?
i came here 6 years ago and now im very good at Guitar THANK YOU ANDY GUITAR! :)
I legit have to murder my fingers pushing down so hard to be able to play any chord correctly.
Its not necessary to press down that hard, I made the same mistake lol my fingers wanted to die. Try a more flexible pick and press more gently
Get lighter strings
@@itsjustdylan6433
No. The pain is traditional 😈
Also check if your guitar strings are too high action. That might cause for you to press too hard
Ya
Day 2: Learn how to join your fingers back together after they fell apart practicing those two eAsY chords

Lol! So far I'm 8 mins in and okay, aim for longer tomorrow. Ouch, but so worth it when you hear those cords' beautiful sound. 🤘🏻🤩
Hi Andy i just want to say that this video helped me out when i just started to learn 7 years ago, i still suck now but i'm definitely much much better compared to when i started, i hope you're doing fine in life! Much love!
I'm a Brazilian guitar teacher and I'm watching just to learn how to teach guitar in English, hahahha. You slow talk is awesome to my ears. Thank you to be so detailed. I know isn't a english lesson but to me it works.
