Top Comments of this video!! :3
After putting down my guitar almost thirty years ago, Iāve finally set myself the challenge to pick it back up. I turn sixty next year and my goal is to break through the confidence barrier to be able to play a few songs for family and friends and work on from there. One of my sons taught himself to play over the past few years simply using YouTube and practising constantly. Heās absolutely incredible and heās given me the motivation to believe I can do this. Perhaps not to the level heās at but itās definitely possible. So here goes ā¦ā¦ š¤š¼š¤š¼š

Also... looking back, I think that the most beneficial thing that I did early on was trying to learn barre chords almost from the beginning, even though I couldn't really use them until a lot later. It feels completely impossible at first, and sounds terrible for a while after that - but once the combination of skill development and muscle development works its magic, a whole world opens up.

As an older guy just about to embark on my third go around of playing guitar, with many years of not playing in between, I can not emphasize this enough: HAVE FUN. All your tips are spot on, gotta say, as with any hobby, itās easy to get burned out. You donāt have to completely step away like I made the mistake of doing. Change it up, play the songs you know in a different style than youāve familiarized yourself with. Play āYour Body Is A Wonderlandā like a reggae song, or whatever. Change it up, keep it fun. No amount of money spent on guitars or effects pedals is going to make you a better player, just enjoy what youāre doing and you wonāt be able to get enough of it.

omggg the applying pressure to the strings with your thumb from the back.. that's so helpful! idk why i didn't think about it but it helped get my d chord and a chords sounding better! and if you are seeing all my recent comments on your old guitar vids then i thought i should update you, the guitar i've been learning on was my moms from 30 years ago and it has a belly bubble or something like that and i went to a music shop to beg new sting bc they were so old and rusty (and heavy/ hard to press) and i ended up getting a new guitar! i'm got a cheap fender! i'm so excited, this guitar is so much more comfortable! the old one was a really bulky bently and this one is a lot smaller and easier to manage! this alone is gonna motivate me more tooāŗļø

Hey, I enjoyed this. I've been playing guitar all my life but not consistently. I tell people who say they don't have time the same thing, to only play a few minutes a day but I go as far as to say set a time limit and don't exceed it. I still play with a stopwatch. It is good so when the next day comes you can say that you only play a few minutes. Otherwise you could burn out. In time, if you choose you can increase the amount of time. I've gotten so I practice guitar 25 minutes in the morning and 25 minutes on another musical instrument. Then in the evening I play guitar another 25 minutes but it is optional, not forced.
