this was surprisingly nice

I've played guitar for 3 years. I started at 13, I was in my "prime" at 15, and slowly started forgetting everything. I was in the failure stage, and I knew it! And I hit it hard! So seeing that other people deal with it, made me feel better. I have finally, after 3 years of not touching my guitar, started playing again! I got my mojo back, relearning solos I used to know, working my way back to shred, and enjoying different styles of music I learned to appreciate over the years. I hope I can get further in my musical journey. That doesn't even mean I need to make money from it, just to improve.

I was an on and off player for years but recently I have been playing consistently for over 6 months with one exception. I practiced daily until I hit the failure stage about two months ago. I had no desire to play and I was sick of the same songs and the same chords and the guitar in general. The old songs sucked and new songs I wanted to learn either had chord shapes that were too tough and I couldn't transistion chords well enough to get through it. I quit for about a week and knew I was burnt out and not making progress. Ater all the time I invested I wasn't gonna quit so I picked up the guitar and then over the next few days I was more comfortable with the guitar than at any point previously. It all clicked and the feeling of picking up the guitar was a mix of forgetting the old bad habits and realization that I can play any song if I slow it down enough and stay patient. The pressure was gone and I was having fun learning. I was playing chords and not buzzing any strings and learning new chord shapes in minutes and transitioning them decently enough while keeping rythm well. I'm very comfortable with my current skill levels and can finally finish songs begining to end. Keep up the practice and good luck!

There's a big difference between okay, semi-proficient and eiw, that was tasty and it just kinda flowed without much effort. I never set out to specifically learn vibrato for example. It just seems like it just happened. "When did come about?" Is what you ask yourself.

That's an awesome stage! How I'd love to be a teenager again lol 😅 no but seriously: get ONE good guitar and amplifier on the used market. If you've got tall hands i recommend a fender scale length guitar, just because you get used to the larger scale right from the beginning, or a shorter scale if you have mid sized or small hands, which isn't a problem at all, it sounds the same after all, it's just easier to improve on shorter scales then. I've been at the almost no gear stage, we've all been there (unless dad's a guitar collector lol). I'm 42 now and i've owned many guitars over the years. I can recommend any with a two point tremolo or jazzmaster type vibrato (just because tremolos/vibratos/whammy bars are awesome and fun to play with). If you find the time go to a local dealer from time to time to try out which guitar plays easily. Try the ones you can't afford NOW, you might find them used in good shape out there. At the guitar store you might often find people who will help you, or people selling used guitars too. Just don't let them sell you the first guitar you touch. But if it's a good store they won't pressure you to buy anything. Btw you don't necessarily need an amplifier, you can get a good(!) audio interface (like Motu M4) for much less then a good(!) amplifier. Add cheap Mackie monitor speakers and you can play through your PC/laptop and have hundreds of sound- and recording possibilities. (I'd still prefer a real amplifier - it doesn't need to be loud or tall - instead of the audio interface in the beginning, but that's just my old thinking.) Good luck n have fun! 😉

@asharpbflat7179

The practices went from everyday as a teenager, to once a week in my early 20s, once a month, then eventually it was just an after-thought. One marriage, two kids, 15 years and a divorce later I started slowly replacing the equipment I had sold off. Now, I'm playing again.

Start with learning the six basic open chords, G A B C D E, then the F and B power chords near the open strings. Then start with the minor pentatonic scale after you have those down. That’ll give you enough to play around and improvise a bit. Then move on to full barre chords and understanding the CAGED system. That’s what I’d recommend. After you have good understanding of those, you’ll be able to improvise fairly well up and down the neck. Major scale is also important. Most importantly just have fun with it.

This video really helped with something I've been struggling with. I'm at the stage I need to form a band. I grew up playing sax right on through college, born again musician on guitar, been playing the Statocaster two and half years. Guitar made me a better musician by far but I haven't played guitar in a band yet, and I feel that's the step between where I'm at now and being a better guitarist than I ever was a sax player--even attending Berklee on a Performance scholarship.

You just motivated me to still follow the path of music although im close to 30. Thanks. You're great, man!

I am in the rekindled spirit right now for sure. I met some new friends and watched them jam out one night and also discovered a couple new bands and I really want to get back into it. I forgot how fun it was!

I'm definitely in the novice phase. As you said, the obstacle I'm currently dealing with is that I'll sit down to learn a new song and then I realize that Nirvana song I learned last week is about a million times easier to play and sounds just as cool

I'm at that post-novice stage where everyone around me that plays is better than me but everyone that doesn't play at all thinks I'm pretty damn decent. My best way of describing it is "I can easily impress most children".

I'm currently in the Rekindled Spirit phase! I used to play in my early teens about a decade ago, but I never practiced as much as I should and fell off after a while. Then I watched Bocchi the Rock and it's lit a fire under me again 😅

Been playing for 32 years. Still a cover band gunslinger, going on 22 years. Taught lessons for 20 years - started out part time, as I already had a full time job - then teaching became my full time job, then part time again for a while, and finally stopped. I got really tired of teaching after a while, though it had its good moments and I taught hundreds of students over the course of 20 years, some who have gone on to become pro musicians and guitar teachers themselves. Now I have a 9-5 in something unrelated to music. I've been through many phases with playing as well. Started out doing only hard rock and thrash metal. Gradually progressed to lighter rock, classic rock, blues, and even a bit of jazz, country, and classical, though rock and blues are my main styles. Been through many many phases of different equipment - pedals, rackmount gear, solid state amps, tube amps, different guitars... Mostly I bought new gear because stuff broke after a while or I just wanted to consolidate and simplify... I used to use mostly solid state amps (mostly Peaveys) but after years of abuse every one of them broke eventually... I've finally reached the point of "I don't need any more gear"... Guitars: -1992 USA Fender Floyd Rose Classic series Strat -2007 Ibanez Prestige RG-1570 -Ovation acoustic/electric -Mitchell acoustic/electric - Several others not really worth mentioning here Pedals: -Boss GT-8 circa 2005 -TC Electronics Mimiq Doubler That's it for live gigs, have several stomp boxes that stay home. Amps: -Peavey Classic 30 -Fender Twin Reverb, 1968 reissue -Fender Super Champ X2 -Vox AC-30 (it's a lemon - sits in my closet, needs to be repaired again)

I'm a beginner aswell watching this to see the other phases ahead of me.

I was at the failure stage for about 10 years until relatively recently. So I'm back to novice, but somewhere in between novice and intermediate. I realised I can't get away with playing half barres forever, so I'm now consistently playing Barre chords on my acoustic, though my melody lines leave a bit to be desired. But I'm very much energized to learn! I think it's not being a little brat that's doing it, and playing through the initial pain instead of whining abt it.

It's nice to know im not the only one that put down the guitar for a couple years. lol! This is a great video
