It only took a few days for me to play it quickly and fluidly. By the time I was able to play it, my fretting hand hurt like hell and could stretch much further than before. However, I only learned the basic thumb slapping technique, and the hard one probably takes ages to master
@@Trahzy I use to but just hear that awesome warm tone, it speaks for itself! It’s a tone that ya get can’t get with an electric, the only thing that comes close is an acoustic~electric. I also only play acoustic because it’s nothin’ fancy just simple and amazing. It’s also more humble and down to earth, it’s the guitar cowboys and miners would play around the campfire after a long day’s work.
i was taught on classical, and practiced on my acoustic at home, and have lived in a little apartment for years so I never had much of a chance to start electric. Then i developed more of a love for fingerstyle stuff and its just made for the acoustic more often so here I am an acoustic stan.
In all honesty, even though I prefer electrics, acoustics just give a sound that isn't achievable by an electric, so every once in awhile when I am playing too hard on an electric I will switch to my acoustic, its also honestly really good for discipline practice, because every mistake you make will be clearly heard.
Every song I learn to play, I learn on acoustic first. Then after I feel it's good enough I'll play on electric and try to get it to pace. Unless it's an acoustic song. Then I just get it to pace on acoustic🤣
Ever since I learned piano, I rarely pick up my strings anymore. I used to talk to bad about piano before I learned. “That’s why guitars are more stylish and more tailored to the individual” Then I discovered the harmonic possibilities of the keyboard and was blown away. That made me realize that your harmonic approach has far more character tailored to you than just a color or style. And oddly enough I think I left that comment on this video or another one of your clips year ago. 😂
Going though the same process right now. Started on an LP eleven years ago, got a Taylor for my birthday this year. Neil Young is back to being my musical God…
This was perfect 😂. I know people who can relate. Unfortunately (For my ability to relate to this video), I started learning guitar at 9 years old or so, 23 ish years ago on a classical acoustic from the 60’s. Went from there, to a crazy. Late 80’s “Vantage” superstrat. That I looooved! And put a TON of stickers on. Played hundreds of shows on that crazy beautiful beast. I ended up with a couple more superstrats, and then one day, I was gifted a Les Paul. Went bonkers after that. Got into semi-hollow guitars, started playing more blues and southern rock, and a lot of grunge (I was a punk/metal player for the most part before the Les Paul changed my world). Then I got into some insane offset stuff, went through a crazy Gretsch phase, then I got into tele’s. Don’t get me started on pedals and amps. Anyway. Now I run a studio (and still play live) and I have a bit of everything. Telecasters though…Damn. They’re the bee’s 🐝 knees. With the 330/335/345/355 coming in second. For now 😂 ! As a guitar players journey of discovery is lifelong for most. Some artists find what they like early and stick to it. But for the vast majority of career and hobbyist musicians, it just never ends 😁! Never ever. Ever ever. Ever. ☮️🙌🏽
I just bought my first guitar (Squier Tele) YESTERDAY and today I went back to the shop and saw a very stunning acoustic with bird art on the pick guard I reminded myself I was only there to get a cable 😂 Also had a lot of fun practicing a few chords and playing around with my Tele today 🥰 A very pretty cream color, and I love the laurel fretboard 😍 There are so many different sounds you can make just playing around, too! I've played other instruments too (piano, flute, violin), and never before looked at my hands on an instrument and thought, "They look like they belong there." 🤍
I was watching an interview with Charlie hunter last night and he was talking about his work w John. John is a huge fan if Charlie's playing and you can hear it in Neon. His entire technique for that tune is based on Charlie's playing. Def check out that interview it's so good!
Me playing acoustic: I usually play electric but I like both equally Slips and drops pick into the body: I exclusively play electric, I do not like acoustic.
I came from electric to aucustic, been playing for about 10 years and i would say 7 of thore years is on my aucustic. I just feel more connected to it!
Wait, just WAIT, ‘til he discovers Jorma….. There will be bits of brain everywhere. Jorma’s acoustic stuff is simply mind blowing. Jorma is to the acoustic Ole’ Timey Stuff, as much as any living man.

I refuse to learn wonderwall, unless you bring me a McDonald's meal with a sprite because that sounds amazing rn

Bro what?😂
Lol
The McDonald's I work at only sells sprite no sugar now for some dumb fuckin reason

“It’s called Neon” sent me holy shit
What's the punchline about neon
@@rw2452 it’s a doozie of a song to learn cx
@@rw2452 go watch that man play it and you will understand. It’s otherworldly
Man didn't have to switch out tho lmfao
Absolute cracking endline…😂
Me: learned neon over a 2 month span
Also me: doesn’t play it for 2 days and can no longer play it
Feels relatable, even tho I never learned neon
I learned it in couple of days on electric, in a little slower tempo, and after I didn't play it for a week, I forgot it all.
It only took a few days for me to play it quickly and fluidly. By the time I was able to play it, my fretting hand hurt like hell and could stretch much further than before. However, I only learned the basic thumb slapping technique, and the hard one probably takes ages to master
Me who hasn't played it in a month but still wants to learn: 😰
Lmaooo i was thinking "if this doesn't end with raging at Neon it isn't accurate"
the moment he mentioned mayer i knew he was going there. i was just hoping he attempts to play it.
“clapton used one of these” Layla mtv unplugged being my favourite song live played by him 🧍♂️
Just found Layla last last week. This seems to be a canon event.
As a guitarist, there are things I absolutely love about both acoustic and electric both are amazing
Acoustic guitar are so versatile you can play almost anything on it
U can do the same with an electric if u don't use distortion
Same with electric, but with electric you can play even more styles.
I swapped to acoustic when I lost power in my house, haven’t swapped back 😅
Lol, acoustics rock 👌
I went from wanting an electric as a kid to respecting acoustics as an adult
When I look at my playlists, I realize how many acoustic songs there actually are
You learned wonderwall as an intro to accoustic guitar
I learned wonderwall so i can ruin every party i go too
We are not the same
Deftones in acoustic slaps
B-sliding all over the rarities
I use to play electric guitar but now I’m just strictly an acoustic guitarist because of that beautiful tone!
in 68 Marshall stopped using gold as the letter color... it is now white
Why cant you play both

was it really hard to transition to acoustic if you are an electric guitar player or people are exaggerating?
@@berry3656 They just exaggerating
I really like Opeth’s acoustic riffs
Favorite band of all time

Iko
Know.and respect the 100 watt marshall but the buggera is louder
Ahhh the acoustic version of Neon i see that "that" will make you switch to electric
"its called Neon" fair enough
Here comes the sun is the perfect blend of technicality and actually sounding good
Bro just needed a reason to play wonderwall
Variety is the spice of life. That's why pretty much all the great players play both.
Alice In Chains unplugged made me love the acoustic
Same here and Eddie Vedder
The first song I learned on acoustic was Polly, followed by Waiting On A War, followed by My Hero.
This was painfully accurate..
“Did you learn any new songs on acoustic?”
“One.”
“Oh cool! What song?”
“One.”
“No no no, *what* song, not how many.”
“One.”
It’s like a Metallica song it doesn’t even count- that one cut deep I learned every song from 83 to 88
Damn, you're missing a lot of awesome metallica songs then
@@tijmen6947 I meant it from all the years
“Metallica songs don’t count”
Me, who only learns Metallica and Megadeth songs- *Nervous Sweating*
Sweating bullets
Me who's second song they learned was the intro to nothing else matters: *F*CK*
@@cosmokane9871 You beat me to it.
Me who only learns death, pantera, and megadeth songs
What’s the Metallica song he played called?
the clapton one is so fcking accurate
Bro, sameeee
POV: *You hear Pink Floyd for the first time*
For a sec i thought he was playing Goodbye Blue Sky lol
THE NEVER-ENDING WONDERWALL EACH TIME YOU TEST A GUITAR.
THE FINAL WAS SO ACCURATE

Always loved acoustic, especially playing Bossa Nova
I started on acoustic and absolutely fell in love with the sound feel and tradition of them. I barely play my electric anymore.
I like your shit man, hope mores to come
You sound good on the acoustic!
Any guitarist should play everything. I started on a jumbo fret classical and by the time I was given an electric I could shred.
Every song I learn to play, I learn on acoustic first. Then after I feel it's good enough I'll play on electric and try to get it to pace. Unless it's an acoustic song. Then I just get it to pace on acoustic🤣
Exactly 💯 my friend most guitar tunes ✍️ on accuistic before electric, FACT!!!!!

That is a really nice acoustic.
Acoustic is like strength training. Every athlete needs it
Great and Awesome 🙏🇮🇳
I use only electric but I’m switching now because I wanna tackle Neon (I gave up on learning cliffs of Dover for now)
I started with an acoustic and picked up my freinds electric and felt like I was hipnotized so this vid is really alien to me
Blues on acoustic and electric is so nice
One of the most underrated vidoes
Going though the same process right now. Started on an LP eleven years ago, got a Taylor for my birthday this year. Neil Young is back to being my musical God…
If by day 5 you’re already going to neon and actually managing to get it? I bow to you
Love your videos man
Electric players :learns wonderwall
Acoustic players :we don't do that it's illegal
Opposite
Respect for playing Fade to black
I'll just agree, as a bassist, "Mayer has some fire!"
I love your telecaster

My favorite guitar right now is my kids mini strat because I can stick it in between the couch and the wall and just take it out and practice
Once you discover Led Zeppelin acoustic - there is no turning back
Neon is insane
Its my absolute favourite instrument
i thought he was about to convince me that i need to sell mine and get an electric guitar 😂
The fact that he doesn't changed his t shirt is amazing 🙌

acoustic is just a vibe
This is perfect bro 👌
What’s the name of the second song from day 2 ?
These can give a vibe of nostalgia which never comes out of electric boys
slow dancing in a burning room sounds good on both.
Nice dude!
Wait until he discovers Doc Watson
Snuff/Vermillion pt 2- slipknot are amazing acoustic songs

"Claton used one of these ONE TIME" had me
Lol. It’s called Neon…. I’m learning that one now :/
... stoooop spying on me, thank you.
Me: “nah Imma do my own thing”
*starts playing like jinsan Kim, Eddie van der merry, and Marcin Patrzalek*
That neon line hit me deep. I've just accepted I'll never be able to play it.
Same here. I heard motley crue and wanted to play metal. Now, at 50 I'm into accustic music more a more
This is why I like sometimes playing clean through my DAW.
Hahaha it always comes back to Neon doesn't it?
Its good to be balanced with both acoustic and electric, i love having an acoustic rhythm and putting electric over it. Season your music to taste 🎸🎶
So good
This was so accurate lmfaooo
Me playing acoustic: I usually play electric but I like both equally
Slips and drops pick into the body: I exclusively play electric, I do not like acoustic.
I never understood the acoustic hate it’s such an amazing instrument and sound there’s so much creativity behind one
the layla acoustic solo sends me
What a beautiful guitar where can I get one
What brand is it
Andy McKee -Rylynn , that’s what got me to start playing acoustic
I came from electric to aucustic, been playing for about 10 years and i would say 7 of thore years is on my aucustic. I just feel more connected to it!
Bro what was the first song that you played?
Neon acoustic live in LA is the version to learn :)
Nylon string guitars eventually get you into classic/Spanish guitar
is this nylon or steel?
@@Nadia-im6oqsteel
You not lying. Only reason I started playing guitar was to get dates but now I’m in love with it.
Fade to black 😍
I just enjoy playing them both because they both serve different purposes?
I find myself just using an acoustic simulator pedal most of the time.
I was waiting for JC’s hurt
So accurated with clapton's part xd
0:36 I heard this and my brain thought it was "Regression" from Dream Theater
Haha. Pretty good dude
