I agree that barre chords are pretty darn easy, but I’ve been playing for 20 yrs. for some reason though, countless beginners in all the FB groups I’m in are constantly griping about them, looking for workarounds and such. I also agree that they’re much more challenging on acoustic vs electric. That’s just the nature of the beast ;)
Just Some Gamer - Gaming And Stuff Yeah much better, but in the early years Songsterr took the tabs mainly from ultimate guitar. And you could only access it from a PC. You had to pay to get full songs on phone. It was so stupid, now It’s the same on both platforms.
Neoven yeah and that shit wasn’t even an example. Oh the irony of someone talking shit about beginners but putting an energy drink on top of their thousand dollar amp
+5carecrow94 Just tried drop d for the first time today. Never went out of standard tuning much, but drop d's awesome. Pretty much anything you do is a power chord, it's stupid fun, emphasis on the stupid part
Ze'ev Yehuda I use Drop C# a lot for metal, because you can still do actual chords on the upper strings. Plus it makes tapping easier with looser strings. But I've been playing guitar for long enough to see that drop tunings are not the end-all, be-all for heavier styles. C Standard is a ton of fun, too.
xApachi like me xddd.... i mainly play drums but i also want to learn guitar so i started taking lessons with my dads old king V but im not very good yet lol
@@Scorcher19 Big oof- Not good when beginners are cocky. You should have self-confidence, but don't take it too far. Speaking of bass, I just got one two weeks ago. Unfortunately, I don't have too much time to play because of schoolwork.
When I was a beginner I thought that I was good coz I could do natural harmonics. And I just used to go up to better guitarists and be like "u think ur so good but can u do harmonics?" And they'd be like "pinch harmonics? Natural harmonics? Tapped harmonics? What?" And I'd respond with "the ones at the 7th and 12th fret." And they'd cone back with "they're called natural harmonics and you can play them at any fret. They're just louder at the 4th 5th 7th 9th and 12th frets." I used to think I could just make up chords and pentatonic scales and genuinely believed I was good at guitar.
The character he's playing is actually way cooler than some of the beginner guitarists I've encountered. Atleast he has a positive non-elitist outlook on it haha.
LOL, that reminds me. I ran into a kid at guitar center the other day that complimented me on my playing and my guitar then felt the need to impress me so he made up some lie about being endorsed (by schecter lmao) and that he was asked to perform a clinic. So for shits and giggles I asked him where this clinic was and he said California. How descriptive! lmao. I can't stand compulsive liars and tryhards. It made for a good laugh though. He left without picking up a guitar and came back 30 min later I guess hoping I wasn't there anymore. He picked up an epiphone and plugged into an amp and didn't even turn it up.. as if embarrassed, and started trying to play stairway to heaven :,D
It doesn’t matter how good you are at guitar, EVERYONE starts at Level 1. Even you. Even the legends, started at Level 1. So, keep that in mind the next time you judge a beginner.
I mean it's okay, you can get a general sense of how it's played, the more you play around with it. You can make the changes necessary. Luckily people can make revisions.
I don’t know sheet music, scales, notes. Ive been playing for four years, I still rely on ultimate guitar. And I don’t really know what a tube amp is. I am a beginner with an intermediate’s fingers
When I started to learn to play guitar my dad explained to me what a barre chord was and I tried it and it worked and I was really excited like, “and I can do this EVERYWHERE? So I can play like EVERY CHORD?!!!” and felt like that’s an epiphany lmao
My desire to learn to play comes from 2 things. 1) the feeling of doing something that is essentially the core of most modern day music is something I can only imagine. But I feel its best summed up in one feeling. Ecstasy... 2) Witnessing the looks on people's face when they look on in awe. Watching people I know playing guitar live and being good at it puts a smile on my face a mile long. I'd love to be able to give someone who I know that sensation and sense of awe.
yeah I know this guy who specializes in metal, typical "people who cant play metal are pussies" and "if it aint metal its weak as fuck" kind of guy, real prick
+xX_Gabe_Xx being a pretty dedicated metalhead myself, I can tell you it's not good to limit your abilities as a guitarist to just one genre. That being said, the only guitar I have has such heavy strings I can't actually play anything in standard tuning, unless I want to break my bridge. Dilemma!
SYLFan2008 I use 12-54's right now, so I'm in drop Bb (for In Flames). I play drop C a lot, too. Occasionally I go down to A. I have a floating bridge so it gets screwed up when i put too much tension on it.
Amir hazmie No he doesn't. For certain songs, yes. But he doesn't just downpick. Beginners can only do downstrokes because they can't alternate pick, that's why he put it in the video. Also, I'm not your pal, guy.
James Hetfields downpicking makes his music heavier, although he can alternate pick his ass off, too. Downpicking at the speed of light is James' signature thing.
+TheHungryBarbarian Lot of the older folks are agreeing with the video xD As for me, I still can't tap solo after 9 years of playing guitar...but I sure can do a very mean rhythm and bass guitar. Even other kinds of lead solos. Depends on the song. ...also, being just a cover musician does limit me, but it also opened up many more horizons than trying to do new songs (though I did manage to come up with a few ideas here and there). All I know is, my students don't mind me not being the COMPLETE master or even near a master of music as I am continuously still learning techniques and such
+Jaye Warnes I think certain styles of playing are difficult for certain people - not everyone becomes a math genius, either, right? I started playing around 1979 and I know hardly any scales, maybe one mode, can't pick very well (at all?) and am not the greatest rhythm player, but somehow I've managed to open shows for Anthrax, Megadeth, Testament, Forbidden, Possessed and Death Angel (among others) in one band and The Outlaws, Foghat and Molly Hatchet in another. "There's more than one way to skin a cat. . ."
yec0dy I wouldn't say so, reading music is a prerequisite to playing any instrument that's not a guitar or bass guitar professionally (although reading music benefits every instrument and every musician). How in the world can you tell a pianist or a saxophonist specifically what you want them to play? Chord charts only go so far. Tabs are nothing but a crutch for guitarists too lazy to spend the time and effort to learn music. Sheet music is a universal language; if you write a C on a staff, every musician, regardless of instrument, can tell you what that note is. Tabs, however, speak to only one instrument. The ability to read music is essential to anyone who wants to be a professional musician, i.e. making music for a living.
Any instrument can be played - and played well - without proficiency in music notation. There are many people who can speak perfectly well, but can't read or write. These things are the same. It's not imperative that you're musically literate, it's just another skill - the importance of which is dependent on the player's ambitions. Plenty of awesome players who can't read notation, plenty who can. Music notation is very much the same as language notation. It's a means of communication. With sheet music, you don't need to hear the music to play it. Such as with written language, you don't need to hear the person's voice to understand it.
"it's half step down? never mind I'll find a different song" "there's a bar chord in this one too? never mind I'll find a different song" "muting the top string thingy doesn't even make a difference so I just wont worry about that" *how to play Bm easy way google search* *what is a power chord google search* Did I miss anything?
I remember watching this as a beginner and not being able to answer any of the beginner questions he was asking. Now I’ve been playing for 6 years and can answer every single one. Literally everything he asked in the video is stuff you learn as you keep playing 😂
Kandi Klover Dude it's a reality TV show. In real life do you really think Rumble Johnson or Cain Velasquez walk around acting like tough guys picking fights just to prove something?
Hann Pungartnik Just very recently I started sweeping at Origin speeds!I started with The Aftermath, still needs a little more work but I'm getting there.This too just requires practice!
Yeahh I've never tried to learn at all lol there's no way my fingers could move that fast, if you're looking for insane sweep riffs man listen to rings of saturn straight out they use sweeps in their normal riffs lol like it ain't special
Literally my couz. Everytime we have a family reunion he will always the same song every year and playing the guitar in really high volume late at night
Ive been playing for 23 yrs now. Dont let this jerk get ya down. Nobody picks up a guitar and can just make it sing. Stay at it. Its absolutely worth it. Good luck.
@@davidbostater8233 "this jerk" lol what. This video is humor, we all start somewhere. Aldo yeah no reason to feel stupid or bad ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE A BEGINNER. He did not say "bad players" but beginners. Of course you don't know better and potentially find yourself in the video. All the bad habits, mistakes and stulid things we might say are only becaude we are beginners! Everybody was a beginner at something once :)
Many people deface their guitar by putting stupid stickers on it when they first start playing. This may be due to them thinking the guitar looks boring, or them wanting to express themselves. This ends up making the guitar look cheap. This is only really obvious to the people who have done it. It's really embarrassing in most cases. Here's an example: i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa95/sinjacat/DSCN1004.jpg As you can see, it has the potential of making a $5,000 instrument look like some thrift shop monstrosity.
Yeah, but beginners usually don't have $5000 guitars. I defaced my first guitar pretty heavily, but it didn't matter since it was an awful Chinese knock-off Strat. I still have it and I don't regret doing it, I still think it looks kinda cool. But the shit I put on was a bit more relevant than whatever was on that LP
Zombie Energy In some cases the stickers may look good, however, in most, including mine, they look terrible. Hence why the joke works. The beginners that really have a $5,000 guitar likely got it as a gift.
Just keep at it - even if you can only put 20 or 30 minutes in a day, just try and practice every day. While there are many good videos online, sometimes having a guitar teacher is great for keeping you focused and also being able to fine tune your practices based on your strengths and weaknesses. Nobody picked up a guitar and was instantly good - but I believe just about anyone can become good. It's a lifelong passion - and I truly think the more people who play music - the better.
Apologen it's less the sheet music but more getting to know the mechanics of scales, keys, and chords. Some people don't need it but it can be a huge help to others.
I’ve been playing guitar for about two years now. The first song I ever stuck with on electric guitar was Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) by Marilyn Manson and the first every song I tried to play (on my dad’s acoustic) was Wonderwall. I never played Smoke On The Water once as a beginner 😂
I can relate to at least one of these even today. I'm terrible with reading sheet music, but I'll get there, I did have aspirations of starting a band when I was a kid, but it never worked out (I was still starting out on the guitar at the time). But with enough practice, I eventually learned how to play a bunch of songs from different genres and my strumming is pretty good now, but even that can use some work.
Humble beginnings is what I say, don’t get too big for your boots, and don’t do what my friend did and get an american fender stratocaster as your first guitar...
TheUnoriginal Exactly. I didn't wanna look like a douche by getting an electric and an amp to learn on, so I used my own acoustic to learn, playing a lot of songs on it. I've been playing for a year and I'm still guilty of using tabs though
when i was a beginner i liked Bc rich so much for their cool design but in the end i bought a Razorback Dean now i just want to buy a simple looking ibanez :P being a kid was nice
What you don’t realise is that this is genuine footage of Jared as a beginner he’s just uploading it like this to make it seem like it’s a joke and he was always amazing.
oravlaful literally, watch Rob Chapman, watch his challenges and gear vids, and then just google what he says that you dont know, I'm really good at specs and gear just by watching him
yeah this vid was meant to be funny of course.. i think they were more making fun of beginners who not just are ignorant but also have big egos (which lets face it, there are a lot lol). i've always preferred to assume i know hardly anything about guitar.. that way i can push myself to always get better. people who assume they are the shit tend to make less interesting music i've found. (with some exceptions of course.. if you can back it up 100% then you can claim whatever you want; but i don't like dickish attitudes like that tbh)
I think I'm the opposite: Played 6 years and can't say I'm a good player. I know a ton about gear though, I've found modifiyng guitars and amps and pedals to be almost as much fun as actual playing...
watching this as a beginner and feeling stupid

You'll get there, don't worry. Also I love the middle part of your name.

Don't, we all did and said shit like this as beginners. Even him. Just stick with it and enjoy learning things you like.
You forgot to complain endlessly about barre chords.
F in particular.
Or B
Whata wrong with f
@@n0isr682 F barre chord is very frequently used in popular songs that many people want to play, but it's hard for beginners to play this chord.
And after conquering F chord, you realised that F chord requires the least strength out of all the E string barre chords.

James Hetfields downpicking makes his music heavier, although he can alternate pick his ass off, too. Downpicking at the speed of light is James' signature thing.

Been playing 20+ years and have no care to learn sheet music lol
But can u know chords by listening to any pop musics bro?
Been playing 21 years and reading sheet music isn't hard.
@@bipsmuan876 yeh
Ive been playing guitar for 6-7 years now and half of this applies to me XD
Me too dude haha
+TheHungryBarbarian me too :(
+TheHungryBarbarian same
+TheHungryBarbarian Lot of the older folks are agreeing with the video xD As for me, I still can't tap solo after 9 years of playing guitar...but I sure can do a very mean rhythm and bass guitar. Even other kinds of lead solos. Depends on the song. ...also, being just a cover musician does limit me, but it also opened up many more horizons than trying to do new songs (though I did manage to come up with a few ideas here and there). All I know is, my students don't mind me not being the COMPLETE master or even near a master of music as I am continuously still learning techniques and such
+Jaye Warnes I think certain styles of playing are difficult for certain people - not everyone becomes a math genius, either, right? I started playing around 1979 and I know hardly any scales, maybe one mode, can't pick very well (at all?) and am not the greatest rhythm player, but somehow I've managed to open shows for Anthrax, Megadeth, Testament, Forbidden, Possessed and Death Angel (among others) in one band and The Outlaws, Foghat and Molly Hatchet in another. "There's more than one way to skin a cat. . ."
7 years later and I still say "I don't see the point in learning sheet music" haha
uh, maybe if you actually want to play in a professional band with complicated parts, or with a sax or piano player, etc etc..
Psyfonify Complicated parts? Are you kidding? Bit too general of a statement honestly.
Psyfonify my dad is probably the best guitarist i know and he doesn't even know how to read tabs. knowing how to read sheet music is pointless.
yec0dy I wouldn't say so, reading music is a prerequisite to playing any instrument that's not a guitar or bass guitar professionally (although reading music benefits every instrument and every musician).
How in the world can you tell a pianist or a saxophonist specifically what you want them to play? Chord charts only go so far. Tabs are nothing but a crutch for guitarists too lazy to spend the time and effort to learn music.
Sheet music is a universal language; if you write a C on a staff, every musician, regardless of instrument, can tell you what that note is. Tabs, however, speak to only one instrument.
The ability to read music is essential to anyone who wants to be a professional musician, i.e. making music for a living.
Any instrument can be played - and played well - without proficiency in music notation. There are many people who can speak perfectly well, but can't read or write.
These things are the same. It's not imperative that you're musically literate, it's just another skill - the importance of which is dependent on the player's ambitions. Plenty of awesome players who can't read notation, plenty who can.
Music notation is very much the same as language notation. It's a means of communication. With sheet music, you don't need to hear the music to play it. Such as with written language, you don't need to hear the person's voice to understand it.
"it's half step down? never mind I'll find a different song"
"there's a bar chord in this one too? never mind I'll find a different song"

I’m glad I’m not the only one that’s googled easy way to play Bm
I remember watching this as a beginner and not being able to answer any of the beginner questions he was asking. Now I’ve been playing for 6 years and can answer every single one. Literally everything he asked in the video is stuff you learn as you keep playing 😂
Where's "Hey, can I borrow a pick?"
My friend in Guitar class ALWAYS FUCKING SAYS THAT.
Akahri Yup, that's me.
+Akahri Thats not just limited to beginners though :p
Tcrumpen If I could +1 over and over for accuracy I would

I have been playing 9 years and i still get all my tab from ultimate guitar
“What does this do?” Love the Korn Blind reference 😂😂
The best guitarists will never admit that they're the best
Matthew Nazaroff Just like the best UFC fighters will never walk around acting tough all the time picking fights.
Rohan Narain lol yes they do on the reality tv show about it
Kandi Klover Dude it's a reality TV show. In real life do you really think Rumble Johnson or Cain Velasquez walk around acting like tough guys picking fights just to prove something?
The worst guitarists will never admit they're the worst... except me currently.
How long have you been playing?
I've been playing for 10 years and that sweep picking is still better than I could do :')
Then you probably never tried to learn it seriously!
Once you get the flow of things, it gets pretty easy... tough some stuff like Origin's Finite sweeps is just ridiculous....
Hann Pungartnik Just very recently I started sweeping at Origin speeds!I started with The Aftermath, still needs a little more work but I'm getting there.This too just requires practice!
Yeah. I've been playing for ~6, and I can't do it that well either. I just started trying to pick it up lately.
Yeahh I've never tried to learn at all lol there's no way my fingers could move that fast, if you're looking for insane sweep riffs man listen to rings of saturn straight out they use sweeps in their normal riffs lol like it ain't special
Literally my couz. Everytime we have a family reunion he will always the same song every year and playing the guitar in really high volume late at night
The more I come back to this video the better it gets
"I don't know what this chord is called, but I love the sound of it."
That's so me
Jason Anon Totally me when I'm writing a song and I just put my fingers anywhere
*"* When can I learn *Master Of Puppets "*
9 years later, still golden.
I am a beginner and this just makes me feel stupid
Ive been playing for 23 yrs now. Dont let this jerk get ya down. Nobody picks up a guitar and can just make it sing. Stay at it. Its absolutely worth it. Good luck.
@@davidbostater8233 "this jerk" lol what. This video is humor, we all start somewhere.
Aldo yeah no reason to feel stupid or bad ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE A BEGINNER. He did not say "bad players" but beginners. Of course you don't know better and potentially find yourself in the video. All the bad habits, mistakes and stulid things we might say are only becaude we are beginners! Everybody was a beginner at something once :)
Lmao me too. I REFUSE to talk to anyone about guitar or play for anybody because I know I'll just look like a damn idiot
I die inside a little bit every time he says "I just wanna put stickers all over my guitar!"
Many people deface their guitar by putting stupid stickers on it when they first start playing.
This may be due to them thinking the guitar looks boring, or them wanting to express themselves.
This ends up making the guitar look cheap. This is only really obvious to the people who have done it. It's really embarrassing in most cases.
Here's an example: i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa95/sinjacat/DSCN1004.jpg
As you can see, it has the potential of making a $5,000 instrument look like some thrift shop monstrosity.
Yeah, but beginners usually don't have $5000 guitars. I defaced my first guitar pretty heavily, but it didn't matter since it was an awful Chinese knock-off Strat. I still have it and I don't regret doing it, I still think it looks kinda cool.
But the shit I put on was a bit more relevant than whatever was on that LP
Zombie Energy In some cases the stickers may look good, however, in most, including mine, they look terrible. Hence why the joke works. The beginners that really have a $5,000 guitar likely got it as a gift.
billie joe Armstrong has sticker all over his guitar
Aidan LaRose I put the stickers on the back. I have a lil epi les paul
Most guitarists thought they were the best when they started but I think I suck lol
Rocky Productions lool me too
Just keep at it - even if you can only put 20 or 30 minutes in a day, just try and practice every day. While there are many good videos online, sometimes having a guitar teacher is great for keeping you focused and also being able to fine tune your practices based on your strengths and weaknesses. Nobody picked up a guitar and was instantly good - but I believe just about anyone can become good. It's a lifelong passion - and I truly think the more people who play music - the better.
John Sheehan k but ive played since I was 2 and my current teacher is amazing but I still think I suckkk
Arthur Motoyama its pretty much with every instrument haha
ChelleMentu lol the best students are the ones that still think they suck.. they learn more.. keep it up! 😆
I wouldn't call him a beginner, he's already started a band, and somewhat knows scales and tapping!
I’m not a big time guitarist but I’m so glad I’ve moved passed all of these since last time I saw this video
Been playing for 12 years and still don't read sheet music, not once in my life have I been asked to play something off of sheet music lol
i used to play piano so it wasn't that hard for me to learn
Apologen it's less the sheet music but more getting to know the mechanics of scales, keys, and chords. Some people don't need it but it can be a huge help to others.
Sounds like me except I started playing 8 years ago... RIP
gopro_2027 SAME
I’ve been playing guitar for about two years now. The first song I ever stuck with on electric guitar was Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) by Marilyn Manson and the first every song I tried to play (on my dad’s acoustic) was Wonderwall.
I never played Smoke On The Water once as a beginner 😂
I’ve been seeing a lot of newbies playing seven nation army more than those two
@@nick1512 yeah I just kinda started wherever I felt like it
Been playing for 18 years, and I still say a couple of these things.

chøke well, not many Clique members play guitar. We usually play ukulele. I still happy someone posted.❤
chøke are you talking about hiatus? It’s been 170 days
chøke honestly me
Playing everything with the first finger was a nice touch.
I can relate to at least one of these even today. I'm terrible with reading sheet music, but I'll get there, I did have aspirations of starting a band when I was a kid, but it never worked out (I was still starting out on the guitar at the time). But with enough practice, I eventually learned how to play a bunch of songs from different genres and my strumming is pretty good now, but even that can use some work.
It might sound stupid to real guitarists, but I guess you have to start somewhere, right?
So true
Humble beginnings is what I say, don’t get too big for your boots, and don’t do what my friend did and get an american fender stratocaster as your first guitar...
TheUnoriginal Exactly. I didn't wanna look like a douche by getting an electric and an amp to learn on, so I used my own acoustic to learn, playing a lot of songs on it. I've been playing for a year and I'm still guilty of using tabs though
@@ktown0173 nothing wrong with using tabs, less time consuming then trying to learn by ear
jacob minnish learning by ear is better
"i don't know what this chord is but i love the sound of it" :D haha i used to do that all the time
doodoostickstain Read this as he said it.
doodoostickstain SAME LOL
Sorry beginner here, is that an Emin?
Fahim Al Jahangir Yes
I remember when this hit me in the face when I was starting and I can see all my progress over the years.
I think both beginners, and pros agree that divebombs are the coolest.
"I mean it sounds better live"
I like that you only down-picked for this. Subtle.
At one point he sweeped
Tell that to James Hetfield
***** The dynamics are interesting, Jack White up-picks by default, it kinda makes part of its sound.
I can only down-pick, that is still a terrible stuff
And he only used his index finger to play the chords
This is so great. 4 years ago when this video came out I was slightly bothered because it kinda was me, but looking back It is so great.
funny thing is that Jared can't even play bad when he wants to sound like a beginner. lmao
"I'm getting good at sweep picking though"
Me as hell
lol me too!! what the fuck hahaha
“I mean it sounds better live”
This is so spot on. Never gets old
Still gold
You forgot to say "I use my strap low because thats confurtuble to me , its not to look cool"
I have it where the guitar is right above my waist usually
Nice. Unfortunately, a lot of "pros" are also still using that line.
For me it’s easier on my picking hand having it lower and easier on my fretting hand having it higher. I just find a balance that works
My uncle said I had my strap too short earlier so he put it as long as possible.
I always got made fun of a bit by bandmates for have my guitar or bass in an actually comfortable position for me lol
"BCRich guitars are so sick!"
*Looks at his BCRich Warlock*
fuck
Hamsterwheel same 😂
there it goees
im looking at buying one..... crap but i dont care
They look cool but they are cheaply made and come with garbage pickups
when i was a beginner i liked Bc rich so much for their cool design but in the end i bought a Razorback Dean
now i just want to buy a simple looking ibanez :P
being a kid was nice
What you don’t realise is that this is genuine footage of Jared as a beginner he’s just uploading it like this to make it seem like it’s a joke and he was always amazing.
Your piss take of sweep picking was still better than my efforts 🤣🤣
My bands called sphincter in the sun,and our hit single is stairway too bungus
Fun fact 9/11: No one gives a fuck
fun fact 10/11: it was a joke☻
Drummer boy Gavin love it
Omg "I just want to put stickers all over my guitar" I died.
Billie Joe did that and look at him now
Fuck it im gonna do it anyway !
He sold out?
Watching this as a now slightly less beginner, beginner is making me realize I’ve gotten a lot better.
...but the beginning seems so slow and frustrating
ever wonder why so many people say they want to learn guitar but very few actually learn to play
well, at least i was reallistic and knew that i was terrible, i'm much better now but still, i know shit about gear and there's a lot to learn yet
me too
oravlaful and I put stickers on my guitar ))
oravlaful literally, watch Rob Chapman, watch his challenges and gear vids, and then just google what he says that you dont know, I'm really good at specs and gear just by watching him
yeah this vid was meant to be funny of course.. i think they were more making fun of beginners who not just are ignorant but also have big egos (which lets face it, there are a lot lol). i've always preferred to assume i know hardly anything about guitar.. that way i can push myself to always get better. people who assume they are the shit tend to make less interesting music i've found. (with some exceptions of course.. if you can back it up 100% then you can claim whatever you want; but i don't like dickish attitudes like that tbh)
I think I'm the opposite: Played 6 years and can't say I'm a good player. I know a ton about gear though, I've found modifiyng guitars and amps and pedals to be almost as much fun as actual playing...
