Learn the guitar - lesson get your playing to the next level

[shadyfebbraio]

Can u make a video of u playing a hardcore guitar solo so we know that we are not wasting our time with your videos?

[devenautar]

this is such good advice, everything he's saying is dead on. Anyone who wants to play music listen to this man!

[metallicatriviumPwN]

3:18 lmao! that sounds like me sometimes

[FablesJonny]

thanks dude some cool advice there nice one geeza!!!!!!!

[Hoopskidoodle]

Know the damn fretboard and be able to see chords and scales.

[andy17704]

was just wondering how would you develop your ear?

is there any technique?

thank you

[Rocklobster933]

it helps if you try and transpose songs just by listening to them w/o the tab

[SpartanN22]

once you learn some really good chords and songs...you can instanly know what to listen for in songs. its really easy. just play some more and get used to the sounds.

[kwbnl]

David Taub is the man... I have been taking his video lessons fro next level for about two monthes and it is very helpful. I never knew what to practice or what to stress on and David explains all of that stuff. It is a layed out plan that help you get better and to do it the right way. The web site also offers good written lessons with diagrams as well as a chord library. Next level guitar kicks ass!! Rock on

[atlanticus]

well said there

[flintdaddy]

ok im trying to learn the spanish guitar because i love the way it sounds....but is there a difference between guitar and spanish guitar say...with your videos ...or can i learn "guitar" and play it on the "spanish guitar" and the only difference being tone...hope ya understood

[grimatongueworm]

Dave, love your stuff! Nrxt time, have your list mounted under the camera instead of way off to your left. ;-)

[Timeeey90]

if kevin bacon had a blond brother...

[pieltono]

You guys rock, you got very useful vids

[Archronos1]

i just feel sad that its too late for me to learn to play the guitar. Im 24 and can't absorb the playing technique or develop speed as a 13, or 14 year old kid would. This guy has very good skills with the guitar, both theory and practice i saw his other vids and he can shred. Its really hard learning to play at a late age and as an instrument its really difficult to play it unless you developed natural reflexes over time.

[rockongoodpeople]

YOu can do it - its never too late to learn to play and reap the rewards of playing music - you can do it! Dont give up - go after your dreams and dont let anyone tell you that you cant. Take care and best of luck.

[JoelSternke]

24??? To late??? I started at age 39 and it only took a couple months watching David's videos and I was playing songs and having a great time. I've now been playing for about a year and a half and I'm cranking out all kinds of music. David's right.. "You can do it"

[CABOOSE5150]

kool i am 20 & thinking about learning guitar. i wanna get a gibson les paul melody maker you think thats a good guitar for novice? what kind of guitar do you have?

[thelespaulboy]

dude, get an Epiphone if you are a novice. You will have enough time in the future to get a Gibson.

[SpartanN22]

i know you prolly don't give a damn about what i have to say, but a gibson sg or a fender starcaster would be a really good choice for beginners. i have a fender strat. its a really good gutiar, but i am getting a bc rich warlock soon. it all depends on your taste of music. o and get some effect pedals. if you like metal and fuzz get a boss mt 2 metal zone.

[rorshacherror]

@SpartanN22 bc rich warlocks fall apart. literally. dont get one. theyre crap

[warchild027]

man if you got the money for a gibson go for it. i have an epiphone sg with emg's, it rocks and it plays better than my jacksons. got it for 300 euros. if you don't want to spend on a gibson go for a good epiphone.

[flyingmonkey456]

start with an acoustic, the tighter strings help strengthen your fingers really fast. once you've been playing for a few months get an electric. you're going to want to go to a guitar center and try different ones. his guitar might not work for what you need. it mostly depends on the genre you're going to be playing and your price range. tell someone at guitar center those two things, and they'll help you find something that fits you. hope this helped :)

[breakfast789]

a les paul and a melody maker, are two different guitars.

[shadyfebbraio]

I have a BC Rich Calibre Warlock Electric Guitar + Onyx Black + CWGO ... expensive guitar.. i am also a beginner.!!

[govievil]

its never too late for anything. =)

[nationalevac]

That's not true - I began playing when I was 23, you only have to be patient and I recommend LEARNING MUSIC YOU ENJOY ASAP.

[machineguns0]

i start at 23. and i very good now , i cant do things that 2 years ago of other planet but now are easy to me , the only thing is love to rock n roll , Rock n roll !!!!

[courtjester24]

thank you dude that really helps alot

[bleedingvenom]

that guy looks like kevin bacon

[PatBthegod]

not really

[DreamedOfHugeSpiders]

I've watched a few of yor vids and you're a great guitar player and you really know what's important... but the hat makes you look stupid!

[hellofrederick]

ur totally the Man

banjO===<

[mixbreed120]

Hello David, Im 14 years old and just learning how to play guitar.I cant read tabs yet but if you can send me the chords for bleed by cold and let it all out by aaron lewis? thanks

[TDubs42]

What he is saying about pentatonics is very true, I was in that same set pretty much, all I wanted to know whas the key, but now I'm starting to use more than just pentatonics scales and shapes.

[geospectrum]

very good advice. I am stil very much a beginner. The 'order' in wich I am aproaching this is this:

1. Learn the notes on the 5th and 6th Strings

2. Blues scale

3. Minor pentatonic scales

4. Extended minor p. and blues scales

5. Note positions all over key board

Have fun doing it. Obvoulsly thet is alot more you need to learn on the way but that is where i started.

[Manaslash]

I LOVE DAVID VERY MUCH.NOW HE FEELS LIKE ONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBER.this is te effect of his and his friends' kind advices.thanks man. rock on.

[BloodyFingers101]

hey can you guys do a lesson on picking technique? Im trying to alternate pick and tremolo, but my wrist always ends up hurting, which most likely means im doing it wrong.

ROCK ON DAVID & TIM

[XxAlexSSxX]

I was wondering if you guys will ever do some lessons for more advanced players?

The lessons you guys have done are great, but there are people like me that are a bit advanced but are still looking for some more guitar knowledge to grab onto.

I also enjoyed your jazz lessons if you could try another one of those.

Thanks for the videos nextlevelguitar!

[rockongoodpeople]
