Have fun.
But first should be know how to play
Everyone can play ... actual is we should learnt to play too 😚😂
Love ❤️
Wow. This video was both encouraging and discouraging at the same time. Encouraging because it holds out the hope of getting pretty good at guitar before I'm old, but that being said (married, full time job, and a kid) I've put in 3-4 hours of hard work on the axe EVERY day for a year following a a few method books and learning all the major/minor CAGED chords and the scales associated with each, and I still feel like I have forever to go to get pretty good.🥺
You are not alone! Exactly the same experience. My only advice would be to enjoy your everyday practice.
I’m awful 😞, I can’t remember to play. I just bought a new guitar 🎸. Hopefully 🙏🏼 it will make me amazing
wish you all the best
so how good are you now after a month.
How old are u
@@user-yz4hj6nl9u i’m 70 thanks for asking
@@searchlunasbox it takes time u must play everyday after 1 year u can see a lot of progress
I practice 3-4 hours every day before work and after.
Please make guitar lessons of "i call u mine " by BEBE REXHA and THE CHAIN SMOKER
Ok
I’m out of college at the moment and I only have about 9 months of complete free time every day before I have to start working again. So I wanna practice for like 5-10 hours a day.
9 months = 270 days
270 days x 5-10 hours a day = 1,350-2,700 total hours
But I probably won’t be 100% consistent so I’ll probably get at least 1,000 hours
what about callouse on your fingers... will you be able to put in 10 hrs a day?
So how did your plan work out I had the same plan pretty much but failed lmao did you fail too? Or did you actually succeed?
@@Humiliated1234 lol not even close. Maybe played 10 hrs total.
@@coltonlundgren9455 lol imma try again but this time imma actually spend that time on my guitar religiously
@@Humiliated1234 i was practicing 2 hours a day maybe 4 times a week for half of last year then had a bit of an existential crisis and stopped for 3 weeks. When i came back I just said I'd play at least 10 minutes a day every single day. Eventually turned to 30 and now i'm playing 40 minutes a day. kept a diary of it so I never want to break my streak, even if i leave it until 12 o clock at night and have to go to work in the morning lol. still not heaps of time but ive definitely gotten heaps better
No one :
No one :
Literally No one ;
Sam wild : play 27 hours a day
what to do in those 2-6 hours? I play almost 3-4 hours, fingerstyle, chords.. Will it help or should I be doing something else, like some exercise??? Please do tell.
I may make a video on this actually!
@@GuitarLegendvideos that'll be very good. Will be looking forward for it. Thanks for taking out your time and replying.
thanks, im learining solo and i was always wondering if me trying to switch between G D A chords is slow or not and if after a week spent on it (like 20 min daily) I still cannot move it fast enough and precise enogh... is it that im stupid coz someone else can do this in 2 hours? I dont really let me bother myself too much but I really like a reference to someone else :) so thanks for this
Switching chords is very hard to do smoothly. It can take months of practise and even then, still not perfect. You're doing well I think =]
man ive been working on Am - C - G - E for maybe 6 months and i still don't have perfect transitions. It hasnt been my main focus which is probably why it's taken longer but i've still gotten a lot better than when I started practicing them. Sometimes I get a perfect tranistion and my fingers just snap to C and G, and then half the time I'm slightly off. Some of the stuff I'd practice for well over a month and not notice an improvement which was very frustrating, but everything I've practiced now has eventually led to an improvement
Just a small correction. It´s not "exponentially" but "linearly" :) .
3000/200 hrs per year is going to take me 15 years. 😁
Hey man I am 48 with 2 young girls under 10 and I just don’t have 3 hours a day. I’ve gotten decent at strumming and open chords but I can’t get over the hump with barre chords. I just can’t transition. Please help! Any advice? Thanks
Ryan
Hi Ryan,
Barre chords require a certain amount of wrist/finger strength. These muscles take a while to adapt so it can take a while before they start to feel better.
You just have to be patient. But also, try to practise with them until your fingers/wrist muscles start to feel "tired". The muscles won't adapt much otherwise.
@@GuitarLegendvideos thanks my friend I’ll keep at it. Really though my barre chords ring out well but going from like a C to an F barre is where I have to pause. Or Bm etc. Open chords I don’t have a pause it’s smooth. My muscle memory struggles with just the barres for some reason. And I will keep at it and keep building strength. The k you so much!
@@GuitarLegendvideos so you like the fishman loud box mini amp? I’m looking on that price range for an acoustic amp about 350$
@@R.L.Humpert sounds like u just got need more hours at it. I’m with u, C to F is crazy hard. I’m still working on it too.
. Play the whole song slow enough so that you can do that change in time. Then increase a little at a time and push yourself to move faster.
Its been 2 yrs i used to play 5-6 hrs per day , I'm in third year now. Is possible that i can be better in next 3 years ?
Yes, you never stop learning, that's what all the great guitarists agree on.
Does Sam like comments from people who are early?
You can put all of the hours you want into the guitar or not because no one cares, the music industry is dead. You'll become a tree falling in the wilderness. So check your motives and purpose for playing in the first place. I've put well in excess of over 10,000 hours in sports during my youth and gained dozens of awards and trophies and accolades. But I can't eat a trophy or use it to pay bills. If you have a song in your heart and like to put smiles on peoples faces with your playing that should be reward enough, anything other than that is striving after the wind.
The study he is talking about in the beginning has been proven false. I’m a psych student and my university psychology professor said the study was baseless.
If you watched the rest of the video... I go on to disagreeing with the numbers from this initial study/book.
@@GuitarLegendvideos you disagreed with the number of the study but not the study itself. The premise of the study is that there is a specific number of hours for mastery. You say you think it’s less hours but you’re maintaining the idea of a specific number of hours existing for mastery. As a viewer of your channel, who is trying to understand the relationship between time spent playing the guitar and mastery, it reduces my confidence in what you’re teaching.
@@agreattimetoday Hey Ashton! =]
I did not say at any point that you need a specific number of hours for mastery. So don't worry about that.
The 10,000 hour rule was just a theory by Matthew Syed that I mentioned at the beginning of the video. I neither said it was correct or incorrect (although if you did put 10,000 hours into something, I'd imagine you would be a master at it, let's be honest)
My personal theory is that 3000 hours of efficient practise will make you a great guitarist and most professional guitarists I've spoken to this about agree on this as a strong bench mark. It's nice to have a number to aim for! Even if it is anecdotal and based on professional experience.
The aim of the video was to give you all a rough figure to aim for and to show how long it would take to get there depending upon how you split your hours up daily.
Hope that helps.
I put 20,000 hours into a video game, does that make me double world class?
YES
So the difference between good and great is another 5k hours? Haha 😅
