    How do you learn songs on the guitar faster? In this video, I’ll be showing you my super efficient 9-step system for learning songs on the guitar. Back in 2020, I was hired for a country gig that required me to learn fifty brand-new songs in just five days. To accomplish this task, I came up with an idea called the “minimum viable performance,” that allowed me to internalize songs rather than memorize them. You only have to look as far as the recent Ed Sheeran and Marvin Gaye legal battle to realize just how many songs share chords, melodies, and structure. So in this lesson, I’ll show you how you can use some basic music theory and something I call the “chord roadmaps” to greatly speed up the pace that you learn to play songs on guitar as well.
    If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments below. Thanks for watching :)

    I feel so lost sometimes. I can play guitar fairly well but I barely know what keys are and to learn that the minors are the same as majors just 3semi tones apart is just crazy to me. Idk even know how to learn this language of music. I do appreciate these videos though. They’re so good. I’m trying to fit them in my schedule with working so much. Please don’t stop ❤️

    Hey, Andrew! Just found your channel. You're making amazing content, I really like it. Keep it up!
    You see, I found a playlist with guitar lessons on your channel. But these lessons jump across so many topics if I watch them one-by-one as they are in the playlist. I mean, it would be really awesome if you could sort so we all beginners could better learn all this useful staff by you?
    Again, thanks for your content!

    Hi Andrew . Thanks for your tutorials . I was watching them but I would like to know from your POV , please suggest a list of Electric Acoustic Guitars for a beginner level. I was looking to buy it soon.

    • @andrewclarkeguitar

      I always liked Yamaha for beginner acoustic electric guitars. Whichever one fits your budget should be good. Just make sure it's one with the electronics built in :)

    I'm worried about that zipper on your jacket scratching the guitar. Good video by the way.

      The guitar is a Classic S Antique, so it's already beat up. I'm not too worried about adding another scratch or two 😅 Thank you for watching!

      true, i think you'd probably be a robot more than a human if you were able to play "difficult" songs within that limited timeframe + eating / sleeping / everything else
