- "Can you learn guitar from watching CZcams videos?" is one of the most Googled guitar questions - on Google.
I found this out doing some research for one of my live streams and it made me wonder.
Personally I think CZcams is one of the best learning resources that is available today for guitar players of all abilities but it got me thinking about how I learned to play guitar - so that's what I'm talking about today.

How did I learn what little I knew? I lived alone for a summer without a tv. But yeah, pick a song you know and practice until it sounds close, then move on to a new one with different chords
When I was a kid my family moved to the south in the states. Culture shock. Could not understand what most of the people were saying. Over time found a group of friends. It was a big deal to jam out Freebird. We learned the cords then lyrics then the leads. We were having 3 hour Freebird jam sessions. Just one song. Taking turns playing different parts.
I would have loved that when I was a kid
I use CZcams to learn or relearn a bit of theory here and there. Kids are spoiled these days in this regard. More power to em!
My go-to when I was first learning electric guitar when I was 13 was Total Guitar magazine, which meant I would just try to learn whatever was in there every month, sometimes it was pretty random, like that’s the reason I can play Tears in Heaven even though I hate the song and not keen on Clapton at all! 😂
I would have been an INCREDIBLE player if I’d had access to You Tube when I was a kid! Or at least I’d be able to play the ENTIRE solo to Sweet Child O’Mine for sure!!
I learnt (and continue to learn) using a mixture of the things mentioned.
Im not too old to have had the internet be a major influence when i started howrver CZcams instruction being common was a few years away.
My older brother had friend who gave me some tabs which his mum, who worked at the university, printed out for me - i was a student who couldn't afford the printing fees - it would eaten into my beer money!
I will say however that Kurt Cobain (who was unfortunately dead by then) was a big influence on me, so i will politely disagree that you about him being a musician!
Ive been fortunate enough to have paid for some lessons from some great teachers which has really helped me put stuff into context.
But the biggest and best advice i can give anyone to to play with other musicians - guitarists, drummers, bass players, singers, even bloody flugelhornists - whoever - you'll learn the most about playing by playing with others.
yea bro same as you,,,Didnt watch TV for 6 months and 2 books,,Eagles and CCR,,,If you cant learn these days with whats available then you never really wanted it 🤘😎👍
More or less how I learned. I did already know how to read music, though I never really used it for guitar much until a little bit just recently. CZcams is a great resource, but without guidance you might learn higgledy-piggledy and have large sections of "basics" missing. People act fearful around the term "theory" like it's rocket surgery or something, but there's a lot of use you can get out of it if you look at it more like "standard structures in western music" instead of chemical formulae. Learn the construction of the major scale, the four chord types and their extensions and how the chords fit diatonically in a key. Then get the basic Barry Harris ideas about functional harmony and you'll be light years ahead of 99.9999% of guitarists. That whole deal should take a few minutes worth a day for a couple months. You can certainly go way past that, but it's hardly worth it for someone not dedicated to a full jazz education. Beyond that a quick bit of study in species counterpoint and learning 12 tone non-diatonic harmony, negative harmony etc. are things I use personally but probably won't ever be needed by most folks.
"Can you learn guitar from watching CZcams videos?"
Absolutely. But in most cases you (especially if you're a true novias) don't need the high dollar gear they use and play. And infer you need to make progress.
And sometimes really they push their favorite brands on you.
Just find a playable guitar watch, listen and learn. C'mon folks ?
If Django Reinhardt can play with 2 useable fingers on his noting/chording hand?
You can play too; There's all kinds of ways to skin that cat, Before Jeff Healey or Larkin Poe; there was Thumbs Carllile (not for slide) who laid the guitar in front and played with all fingers and both thumbs. Richie Havens played with only his index finger, Jimmy (honeycomb) Rogers played with only his thumb. And the list goes on. There's always a way if you want it.
You can get it .. you just have to want to.
Just Say'n.
