Hey everybody looking for a great way to learn guitar? These 8 important tips are just a few of the really important ones that have really helped me get better at guitar over the years. Keep them in mind and you'll progress much faster!

And if you're looking for a program that will take care of everything you need to learn guitar, you should check out the link above. I've seen lots of programs but this is the only one I've used a lot to learn, and it works great and keeps you interested in playing. This is a commercial guide and it costs a bit of money. I'm involved with the company, too, just to let you know and the above is an affiliate link. But that doesn't change my opinion about it - it is the only thing I've ever used to play guitar.

Other than that, remember to practice correctly and practice often!

Good luck, and take care! Hope you enjoyed the video!

  • Do you recommend a certain ammount of time to dedicate to practice each day?

  • @jakehayek frankly... until its too painful to continue. one way to become great at something is to learn to love it. when you love playing guitar, you never want to put it down. that being said, if you don't have to time to play all day (+ most don't), I'd say aim for at least an hour of constructive practice every day. the first 1/2 hour of practice is usually unproductive - your fingers are just getting warmed up. start to push yourself... and you'll notice fast improvement.

  • if i have past experience with hand eye coordination with piano and violin, will i have the same ease with guitar when reading notes or playing?

  • @Invader12100 very nice, I'm sure that you eventually will... and you'll have a head start for sure. Violin is very similar, being another string instrument that relies on the same principles to make music.

  • I got an electric guitar, and I wanna start playing :-)

    -Might be dumb but.. Is there a difference between acoustic and electric?

  • @KroghNano yes of course - the difference lies in the way the sound is amplified. one has a hollow body which amplifies the sound of the strings by delivering the energy of the strings into the air (acoustic) and the other uses electromagnetic pickups to create an electric signal which is sent to an electric amplifier for amplification (electric). The acoustic also has thicker strings so more energy is transferred to the body and in turn into sound.

  • I'm 15 and I've wanted to learn how to play the guitar since I was about 8/9 but I had no motivation and never found the right place to start! I have 2 guitars and still can't play, haha! But yeah, this video has helped a lot, I'm going to check out Jam Guitar! Thank you!

    you're Canadian xD

  • I learned, well still learning... Even when my fingers hurt, I still tried to find a way where they didn't hurt just to play the guitar.. I know some songs that i love to play, but still have a lot to learn... Thanks for the video.

  • I don't love the guitar.

  • thanks for the tips ive been playing bass since grade 10 and im going to college soon and i thought i would learn the guitar just to broaden what i can learn, so far hardest thing for me is to get used to the smaller spacing of the strings haha

  • really good no bs tips I think.

  • ok, i'll get up and start rocking my guitar!

  • Thank you so much for posting this. I'm 19 right now and was a little scared at the idea of how well it'd go for me if I try to learn, but because you were almost as old it makes me feel better about trying this later in life :]

  • "I starter quite late, when I was 18" LOL Im 31 and just picked up the thing
