How To Make People Think You Can Play Guitar

- Hello. My name is Jared Dines and I’ve been fooling people into thinking I can play the guitar for years. Since you clicked on this video, you must be interested in doing that too. But let's be honest, in this economy nobody has the time to practice. You have parties to go to, friends to hangout with, girls to impress. You want people to think you’re a guitar god without putting in thousands of hours, and I’m here to show you how...

Special thanks to all my friends who helped me film this video! If you would like to see more skits like this let me know in the comments!
"You're not lazy, you're an Artist". That is the most realistic thing I've heard in a while. 😂

100% the funniest video I will be watching today.
@@DavidNwokoye real.
Seriously Dude, He Just Basically Said At The Beging Of This Video That He's A Fake & You Following This Loser Makes You No Different From Him 👎
I refuse to learn any music theory because I like the MYSTERY.
Vai and Satriani aren't having any fun......cuz they treat music like plumbing. A banal science.
Back in my early 20's, I've been practicing classical and fingerstyle guitar every single day for multiple hours. I absolutely refused to strum chords and play popular stuff to which people can sing. During all those years, it only occurred 3 times that I've impressed a girl:
1. I was at a party and didn't know many people. Someone brought a guitar so I though "well, might as well do some practice while I'm here". I started playing Angelina by Tommy Emmanuel and a girl literally ran up to me from a 10m distance while exclaiming "omg, this guy can REALLY play!". She stayed until the end of the song, but I didn't get her later. Some guy with an emo haircut and piercings beat me to it lol. I did impress 2 random dudes though, hahaha...
2. I was playing classical guitar while riding a train home. Last seat in the last wagon, just playing some arrangements for my own enjoyment. At one station, in comes a girl, and although the train was almost empty, she sits right in front of me. She sat there for 45min while listening to me play, she didn't say a word and I didn't wanna start a conversation cuz at that point in my life I really didn't wanna waste my time on girls. Before she got of the train she said "Sorry to interrupt you, I just need to tell you that you are a really talented guitar player". I smiled, said "Thank you!" and kept on playing. Not sure if she was into me or not, but she sure was impressed.
3. While I was doing gymnastics I got injured so I sat on the bench. Next to me was a girl who also had an injury and had to rest there. We got into a conversation and I told her that I play the guitar. She asked me what kind of music I play, to which I just laughed and said "Just some fingerstyle stuff, no one ever recognizes the songs I play". So she said "Try me". I was like "Nah, no way you'd know. Some of them are even Japanese and even some guitarists don't know about them. Like, a dude called Kotaro Oshio for example. There's just no way that..." and she just exclaimed "OMG! You know about Kotaro Oshio?! Look up at the Evening Starts is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard on the guitar!". I was mindblown. That was one of the standard songs on my set list. Turns out she's a piano school graduate and was not only into classical music, but also into fingerstyle guitar artists, anime music and video game music, just like me. So she knew over half of the songs in my setlist. 10 years later we got married and now we have 4 lovely guitars, a healthy keyboard and a cute violin in our living room. :D
A Beautiful family Sir. 👏
What a great story sir.
Wish you bliss
That was so heartwarming and inspirational. You're nurturing hope for many aspiring guitarists looking for love.
You married the right one... but you should have clearly banged the one on the train in the station toilets.
so wholesome, I'm happy for you sir!
I used to say 20 years wasted of playing guitar. But I’ve actually tripled my audience in the last few years. I no longer play alone in my room. My wife and kid are there now too.
lmao
LMAO! How big are you planning on growing your audience? Half a dozen kids?
Me too bro! same exact success! I'm up to a room of four captive audience members who surely think I am gods gift to the instrument.
when the cat comes in the room at the same time we make a big deal about the fire limit in our small club for extra gravitas and threaten to call the fire marshall
This is actually wholesome af, that’s my goal
@@thedogefather I’m stealing the fire capacity joke. That’s genius.
my favorite thing about this is that C# minor isn't even that weird of a key. It's actually a super natural key for a guitar if you know how to play major keys at all. It's basically just E major
Mystery solved😂😂😂
bro no one know E Major
It seems like something a metalcore fan would use. 🤔
@@manuebg3685 Whole Whole Half Whole Whole Whole Half start on an E note. Boom you now know E major 🤘(E, F#, G#, A, B, C#, D# - If you want the notes)
Tune your guitar to C# standard .... Ezpz
Finally Jared remembered that his CZcams channel exists
I like his old stuff better
people do have busy lives mate
@@mitchchapman7545 It's kinda his job.

@@Dothrak1 What does he do nowadays to make money?
The hilarity in this piece,
From the acting to the writing,
The girl yelling "hey everyone" killed me
Is insane. My day has been arpeggioed
The most OP move is to noodle quietly and then when someone asks you to play something be like, “nah I don’t want to be that guy” and put down the guitar.
Genius. You just picked up the guitar to mess around, you weren't trying to give a performance.
I do this all the time lol
Yes that's what I do. Like the whole reason I'm playing is to not talk to people leave me alonge.
@@kirkwahmmett1666 Yeah I recently started taking my guitar to social events for that reason. I feel obligated to be there, but I'd rather practice fingerpicking patterns than interact with anyone.
“If you ever stumble upon a chord that’s to hard to play, like an F”… well played 😂
Best way to make people think you can play guitar: practice until your friends forget what you look like
bruh 😂
Or until you lose all your social skills
I achieved both, its useless now because without a network and social skills, I can only enjoy my hour of playing daily between 7 days of double shifts at Dominoes.
@@KrisofS Dominos do make sick pizzas tho 🔥
@@BackgardGuitar I thought the same, until I started making my own custom pizzas, tip for ya: ask for plenty garlic butter with garlic powder on the crust. If you are an employee, pretend that you want to learn how to make the dough amd then make an accidentally large one, so they will let you have a large pizza. If you have a friend at dominoes delivery, order a false delivery to a fake adress and then have your friend ask shiftleader to keep the leftover pizza after the shift.
I remember 10 years ago when I first picked up a guitar the only reason I wanted to play was bc "girls liked guys who played guitar" then in college I actually played at a party kinda like that exact scenario and impressed a girl (literally just finger picked 3 chords on loop and hit the guitar for percussion lmaoo)... Now me and said girl have been together for almost 3 years. So, I'd say its accurate.
Glad it worked out for you man!
The cinematic work put into this is the icing on the cake.
Someone noticed
Man this was a nostalgia trip!! Used to love the skits back in the day and reminds me of when I was a kid! Me and my friends would put all Jared’s and other music youtuber’s sketch vids on repeat and just cry laughing the whole time (even if we had seen it a hundred times before!). When Jared uploads, his vids NEVER miss! 🔥 ❤
"You're not lazy you're an artist" words to live by
You're* and you're*
Yur an artist!
As someone who got REALLY into open tunings, percussive, finger style guitar a few years back, this is insanely accurate. I have some awesome people in my life that when to William Paterson jazz program and berklees improv program, that really broke me out of this self taught box a lot of us I feel get stuck in. Just take the jump and start learning some music theory. You will thank yourself a few years from now I promise 🙏
- Whats the hardest thing you can do on the guitar?
- Earn money
Never a truer word said .. 🤣👍🏼
💯! That's a big reason I switched to bass. You know, for the "Exposure" money lol.
I reckon surfing has to be up there too...
"Remember, you're not lazy. You're an artist," was gold. I'm stealing that line lol.
Jared is like a father. He comes back every few months-years makes fun of you and leaves
Maybe your dad but...
How long does it take to get ONE pack of cigarettes!?
@@Calloway1970aI'll see you guys later...
Thanks for sharing that…what a childhood you had. 😢
That's funny
The reason why we haven’t seen a Jared skit in awhile is because he’s an artist, not because he’s lazy 😊
🔥😂
When he said " they will only remember how you looked"....
Made me cry inside.
Jared, I've been faking it for longer than I can remember, but nobody ever remembers me.
I think this is going to help me change the world.
Thank you so much Jared.
After 12 years of practicing the Acoustic and E Guitar, I was able to impress my house plants. They threw all their leaves at me!
Lmao
Finally ready to pick up E# guitar 👍👍

Me to 😂 I knew exactly what it was going to be lol
Jokes and content so dated he's even rockin that 2008 haircut, love that attention to detail. It's like this guys been frozen in ice for 15 years!
Might need to use this advice for myself because even though I’ve spent the past 6 1/2 years practicing guitar, getting good at sweeping, tapping, etc, and making it onto Jared’s Shred Collab, people still ask me if I can play an acoustic guitar whenever they see me play (I can’t lol)
That makes no sense. What do you mean you can't ?? It's the same thing
@@RandysRides no
@@RandysRides not even close
@@orangutanxremix510 Explain. It's the same fretboard and notes...so what's the dif ??
@@RandysRides no it’s not
That revelation at the end is such a masterpiece I can't even put into words how hard I laughed
I just scream real loud at the guitar until it works ;)
That's called "The Jackson 5 Method".
Actually I play guitar for myself , it makes me feel so happy. So much so that I never needed anyone's compliments to keep me going.
I'm a self taught.
Careful with the alcohol step. Was hanging out with some people a few weeks ago and the fact that I played guitar got brought up. The guy who owned the house walked upstairs and randomly came down with a guitar. I was piss drunk and put on the spot and 8 years of playing shot out the side of my head, and I lost all finger dexterity. I looked like an absolute imbecile lol
Yup. I can play great with 2-3 drinks, 4 or more and I may as well have never picked up the instrument lol
I think everyones a little different when it come to drinking, but completly know where your coming from.
Some poeple do better with out drinking, or light but others get better. One of my best friends
starts drinking when playing, and it's like he Levels up every time he has a beer. lol
In cases like that, play something easy and don't think about mistakes.
Well, the right way is other way around - audience drinking is correct, not the performer :-)
Once, for a friend birthday party, we were drunk as requested (the scene takes place in Bordeaux, France). We were playing "Manouche" Swing (Gipsy Swing), and suddenly people asked us to play guitar, we tried "The Dark Eyes" maybe even faster than what Biréli Lagrène plays, and we must have tortured all gipsy spirits in heaven massacring the track.
Django Reinhardt ghost might have asked himself how he would doom us for this blasphemy.
We didn't get to the end, I was rolling and laughing on the floor quite quickly.
"I listened to all 400 Buckethead albums" hit me to my core 😂
Just learn the five or six chords that ACDC uses and suddenly you've got forty songs you can play!
Or just learn a basic power chord shape and play literally everything
A Major, all the way!
Learn power chords and suddenly you can play everything from Bad Religion
Definitely more than 40
@@daveataway1952 and green day
Learn how to do that flamenco strumming over an E major chord. Works every time.
Dude you're too good of an actor. You're also good at guitar, so I LOVE these satire pieces you put together. Some people might not get it (and eat tide pods or something) and the rest of us will enjoy your satire content :)

JARED should make a video with an aspiring female who comes in with DOLLY PARTON fingers and tries to play guitar!
Ha, the day I went looking for a Stratocaster; had a whole crowd gathered when I blasted off PROUD MARY with all of the bar chords sliding down the fingerboard! I told him I needed a narrow neck guitar to get a better sound!!
WELL DONE, Jared!; You hold that guitar like a real PRO. You should hove been at the Brass Ring years ago, when Delaney and Bonnie were preforming there. I was working with Ben Benay on some originals arrangements; I played a few melodies for him on violin, and he knew I was teaching myself guitar; He said he wanted to show me something that the "guitarists like to use to impress the girls' with!" HE SHOWED ME THE BAR CHORD, ha the Major, the Minors, the 7th; (and yes, the C#Minorj, with a diminished 7th"....THEN he clamped a capo on; WOW Guitar made Easy! WHEN I SHOWED MY FEMALE FRIENDS AND STUDENTS THAT BAR CHORD sliding up and down the fingerboard, I think live band performances lost a major part of their screaming girl fans!
Like to see you use that CHEATER BAR in some of your new videos!

Got a song for JARED too!
The premise/setup is one most of us have experienced, but is not developed enough to actually be funny.
Sean Daniel, joking around, with his laid back lesson format on similar themes, are hilarious.
I knew it was Wonderwall before it was Wonderwall 🤣🤣🤣
In my experience, the best way of learning is to learn the actual songs and never ever be satisfied with a "beginner" version. Just remember to actually work on unfamiliar techniques as you're learning a song. The best thing about this approach is that you're truly learning the songs you like instead of doing random exercises and learning "practice" songs. This way, I've made more progress in a year than in all the years before that. And you don't have to turn into a hermit to achieve good results. If you want to be the next Steve Vai, then you have no choice but to eat and sleep with your guitar, but being able to play the songs you like and play them well is not that hard. The problem is most people go for the easiest rendition of a song every time, so they never improve. I know, for I was one of them. Now I can easily play and sing like 20 songs at a party (which is not much compared to my friends' tracklists), but I do it well and get positive reactions every time. And I certainly get better reviews than those who can play a million songs, but have to whip out their phones with chords every time they play. If you're staring at your phone or your fretboard all the time, people lose interest in no time.
Loved this one,cuz if I see it from other perspective it's really motivational at points like,
"YOU'RE NOT LAZY, YOU'RE AN ARTIST",
Hits hard and gives chills to me fr,made my day,Jared bro,
I've been watching your videos since the year 2016,when I started drumming,you kept me up and I'm a Music Producer now,highly appreciate you bro,your videos helped a lot,
much love man
This is the BEST guitar video on CZcams hands down😂
"Im not been playing guitar for a long time. Now i cant even sweep picking"
-the lying legend 🗿
Make this a CZcams ad.
Welcome back, Jared! Shred it on!😄🤘
This was amazing in every way. And if some psycho wants to jam in C# minor, just tune down to C# standard and play your chords, wasy fix. except that your strings will be super flappy, but nobody will notice.
What he says about nobody remembering how you played is so true. I once sang two songs at a huge party and hammed it up big time. I thought they could all see the joke, but was treated with admiration and loud applause. Next day my buddy rewatched the video of it and said, “ You can’t sing,”. Lol. It’s all about attitude
Omg you killed it!! So happy to see you back!
Just tell them you can only play when the neighbors aren't home because they will call the cops.. Again! 😂

I can confirm that some women like guitarists, in these 8 days since you have posted this video, i took all your advice and have pulled more women in a week than i have in my entire life. This really works! Thanks jared dines.
Seeing that one of your shred heroes is mid like you is truly inspiring
That improv part was pretty clever
The instructional video we all needed
He forgot the most important step.. call out others that are better than you because you think it's fake, so you can ruin someone's career!
I've been playing guitar for 15 years on and off, i am self taught and I mainly come up with my own stuff though i do try to learn other people's music to just to help learn new chords to further create my own songs.
I’ve missed Jared skits so much, oh my God, this is a breath of fresh air
Good advice, thanks for it. Ill be sure to execute this on my teacher, who also plays guitar
truely majestic piece of comedy
4:15 lol
A good universal party song for acoustic....HEY YA
I've listened to all 400 Buckethead albums
You know I remember avoiding every F chord when I started. Saying “a difficult chord… like F”, I really felt that. 😂
honestly I just tune to drop D and play power chords and it works for me
That new Wounded Tricycle album is killer. But, I do like their old stuff better.
Man this takes me back to college. I'd be the fool taking lessons, practicing scales, learning songs that were not commercial.
I would rip into my favourite Iron Maiden song while a dude would play G - Cadd9 - D and people's world would fall apart as they admired the greatest guitarist ever known.
This is essentially the Ed Sheeran way to professional guitarology.
The buckethead line was gold. I love the bucket
great laugh here JD. nice one!! 😂😂
After some 10 years got back to this dude. He's quite a gentleman now. Nice!
If Jared did an entire show of overconfident players who don't practice, it would hit right in the heart of everyone who still does.
Jared's back!
Now all I need is a video of kmac2021!
You are so talented and funny Jared! Love ya cousin!!! Keep up the awesome videos!!!!💞😆🫶👍💖🎸🥰🎶🎤💪❤
i have a suggestion, carry a couple of picks with you in your wallet/handbag or even your pocket; pulling out a random pick shows others that you are always prepared (it actually does come in handy tho lol). Another suggestion: if the guitar is in standard tuning (usually is hopefully), tune the low E string to drop D, and then boom you have a few more songs to play, and they see that you know at least one alternative tuning besides standard and half-step down
im so good at doing this, I even convinced myself I can play
(6:41) C#m is perhaps my favorite key for improvising in. You get to use E, A, B 12th fret harmonics too
I appreciate the humor of great guitarists such as yourself, Mr. Dines, Stevie T, and Rob Scallon. Without you dudes, I would’ve given up years ago. Thanks 🖤🙏🏽
Watching this with a terrible acoustic guitar at hand (bc i lost my electric) haven't played electric in over 7 months. This was soul crushing. Gonna go to a jam session tonight, i might reconsider and drink tile whitener instead.
Old school college humor vibes. Reminds me of that old “how to play guitar to get laid” videos
I ctrl f'd to find this comment. This video is essentially just a remake of that video. I got to the point where he talks about "learn one song" and I was like "I stg, if he plays Wonderwall..."
You're a complete genius, man xD I couldn't love more how this ended up
I can't unwatch that guitar's finish being pressed against that metal zipper ...it's too much for me
New vid. Congratz. I like the old stuff better tho.
What if the guitar is out of tune? 😂😂😂😂
HE IS BACK AND STILL STRONG.
This was hilarious lol. Great video, Jared. It’s sad that people think that chicks will be all over you if you’re a good guitar player, but they want no part of it.
Once upon a time, but it's too common now. The gig is up
I’m so glad I’m teaching myself, this is the kind of positive reinforcement I needed. 😁🕺🏼🤙🏽
Id love to think that JD actually had booze and pizza for the gang over to make this... Just... Do it more. Do it harder. With more confidence. Always "Bigger Hammer"
He did. He had cookies too.
"intonation!" has saved me many times while at Guitar Center

This video hits home 💀
Almost every college party I went to where someone played guitar, had no idea what they were doing. It was always disappointing, because I genuinely wanted to jam. I didn't know to many hits, as I spent most of my time learning jazz, metal, funk and punk. I had been taking lessons for a few years and was well accustomed to improv.
All of that DID pay off when I was busking though! Other musicians would stop to jam! Just Sadly not many parties had decent players.
Jared we miss u keep making amazing vids , you know you got it ❤️🤘
When he makes the faces and moves he reminds me of one of the guitar players on the worship team at my church.
Besides my grandfather teaching me chords i taught myself. You dont need to pay for lessons. There are too many free outlets. Best thing to do is learn the basics and stop there. Just start playing once you have a good grasp on the fretboard, notes, chords and chord progression. Otherwise youll sound like everyone else.
The trick is all rhythm. Pick strings, move the hand up and down evenly, and pick a pattern to play. Maybe change to 2 or 3 different sets of frets.
it's hard out there for guitarists. its like don't be that guy at the party but every party has a guitar just sitting there... it's definitely entrapment...
I didn't know I needed this! This is pure CZcams Gold! Nailed it. Thanks!
I'd actually love to see the DJ video, too. Good stuff.
So freakin good! A classic! Where have u been?
Your sincerity in this video makes it more humorous.
3:58 - “…Just throw in some percussive tapping.” Lulz! So true. I can’t tell you how many times people think someone is super amazing at guitar just because they started thumping on a guitar.
“I like his old stuff better…I like their older stuff is better” haha!
Awesome video nice to see Jared back
I love this motivation video...
Thank you Jared Sheeran....
Haha 😂Once I did something similar. Drunk on a work party grabed a guitar far away for most people and started playing lateraus intro. New guys comes to me and says "O wow you can play guitar. Wanna play with me I am a drummer". I said "No I can't. By sure why not". At this moment we have been palying togther for a year now and even got someone on vocals. This movie masr my day 😂
This is awesome!!! I love it Jared keep up the good work. I keep laughing my ass off. Oh and sick guitar.
Jerry, my man, you are an actual music genius. Even if you weren't a musician, your understanding is way above average, and I'd bet you put most of it together as a lark, to amuse yourself and have a laugh. That, is how 5he music genius do. ❤️
