A year ago I picked up a guitar for the first time in my life and decided to teach myself how to play using Justin Guitar's online beginner's guitar course. Here's how I got on. (Sorry, Justin.)

I am an older beginner. My 17 year old daughter died in a car crash 11 years ago and left me a little acoustic Fender Squire. It sat for many years and one day I picked it up, turned on YouTube. I quickly realized I had no talent, but stuck with it even though like you said, I sounded awful. Now I am a decent campfire strummer and can play with family and friends. The trick is to stay with it. I will never be Eric Clapton, but I have fun playing songs I like.

My number one tip that helped me improve: play the guitar a little every day. One trick to this is make your guitar super accessible....put it on a stand so it’s easy pick up. If you tell yourself I’m gonna play for five minutes you will play 15 minutes 9 out of ten times. Put together a few songs and rotate through these a little at a time...don’t set a deadline on learning a new song. If a song is too hard now, come back to it in a few months...it may be easier, which is super rewarding. I’m finally breaking down the solo to Hotel California, it will probably take three months to get it to 75% for me...but thats ok. A year from now it might be ok.

The trouble with the internet age is, there is always someone who just wants to pee on your parade just for their own mean sense of gratification. I started at age fifteen and wasn't very good to begin with, it took me years to get to a decent standard and now I am over fifty, and still play - not brilliantly but I enjoy it and that is the main thing.

What are you talking about, music classes at school have come in so handy. I have lost count the amount of times I have resolved a difficult situation with a quick blast of 3 blind mice on the recorder.

I am 56 and music has been my life. After being diagnosed with cancer and given two months to live if I didn't have chemotherapy (which I obviously did as I'm still here nearly two years later) I decided to get myself a guitar and amp and have been playing most days since. No TV, just YouTube lessons since my recovery. It has kept me motivated and inspired. Everything you say is true. It's a hard instrument to learn, but keep going and it comes together in the end. I'm by no means good, but I am now playing my own music. This is a great video upload, as it's nice to see somebody else who like me, still struggles but continues as he enjoys it. I am never gonna be a great player, but I've never set out to be. Be the best you can and never be put down by those who think themselves great. It might be frustrating seeing others make it look so easy, but I'm happy with the progress I've made in my own time and capability. It's kept my mind off my illness and given me something to aim at. All the best to all you other newer players 🎸🎶

I'm a bad guitar player. It's taken me a really long time to get where I've got to. I think that's given me an insight into what wasted so much time. And it's these two simple things: (1) It took me years and years to finally accept the universal advice about playing stuff very slowly and perfectly to a metronome. It was boring. It didn't seem to help whenever I did it for a half hour or so. Eventually I started doing it consistently. Turns out you can play pretty much anything if you play it slowly enough in perfect time. Turns out it's then really easy to play it faster. Combine that with... (2) When you can't play something, focus on the bits you're doing wrong. Don't play the whole song over again to practise that tiny bit. Slowly, with the metronome, play just that bit over and over and over and over, until it's perfect. Then go to the next problem spot. Not doing those two things slowed down my progress more than anything else.

I got back on the horse due to Covid, best boost is by far by playing a recognisable tune.

I've been playing a long time but I wouldn't be brave enough to play in front of a camera for thousands of total strangers. You're doing really well and I've subscribed because I want to follow your progress. The only person to compare yourself to is yourself, if you're improving against where you were yesterday, last week or last month you're still moving in the right direction. Good luck, keep on practising.

As someone who’s wanted to play since the 80’s and who just took up lessons at 47 and still breaking in my finger tips this video is very inspiring. Thank you. 🙏

I’ve been playing for six weeks now. Still trying to switch between chords smoothly, still ignoring barre chords, and in no way could I sing and play at the same time. Still trying to find my rhythm. You sound really good! 🎋
