How to Actually LEARN GUITAR Online
Музыка
Learning guitar online can easily be either the best or worst way to learn to play guitar. With countless online guitar lessons of varying quality available, it can be difficult to figure out which works best for you.
In this video I talk about what resources I used to learn to play guitar, and how to best use them together. Some of the online guitar lessons that I tried include: rocksmith, fender play, yousician, guitar tricks, jamplay and amped guitar learning.
I also briefly talk about how I stay motivated learning guitar! FUN!
Thanks for watching :)

What does that mean, that they teamed up with you, and that I might be sponsored in two years?
I have a tip for new guitar learners (literally works for EVERYTHING that you want to leanr), basically if you're not interested in playing the guitar today or if you're feeling lazy, dont just take a break. Instead just play for like 5 minutes, or recap what you learnt yesterday. Try to practice daily atleast for 5 minutes a day. If you continue doing this daily playing the guitar will become a habit for you and you wouldnt need any external motivation for you to start.

When I first started I was super impatient and just wanted to learn but didn’t, it wasn’t till I hit some depression and forced myself to buy my first electric guitar and learned my first full song “don’t fear the reaper” then I spent Time just jamming, sometimes 10 minutes then later to play tor 2 hours! Just kept pushing myself till I noticed my skills getting better, now I use that to just about everything I do! I owe a lot to the guitar

I'd also recommend breaking lessons into small parts, and doing each part after 1 hour of break. Doing 30 minutes/day is somehow much harder than doing 5 minutes 6 times. It helps me to continue learning Japanese, programming and guitar even while struggling with depression (which kills 99% of your motivation for months).

Disagree. You dont wanna play, think why; we dont make habits of thinks we dont like to do, no matter how long you do them. I used that method of playing no matter what a mount of time just for the sake of habit. Do that for years. Dont know if that make the habit cause i forced my self to play anyways, and i struggle to improve. What worked for me was to play new and challenging stuff that i actually liked, and REST when i dont want to play.

Quick tip that works for me: I gave myself the task to pluck AT LEAST one string on the guitar a day (I have to pick it up and play the one string, not like pluck it while it's sitting on the floor or whatever) and I almost always do much more than that; the hardest part is really picking up the darn thing and starting. haha

I agree and disagree. I am already mad at Justin for not taking into consideration small handed people, or people with limited mobility due to age, disease (like Arthritis) etc... that someone like Lauren Bateman does. I don't care much for her, but apparently she does her real life students well into their 90's which is something Justin should do. Get to module 2 when it is your first simple song time to find out free time is over. Pay up for the tab to follow along or else. Sure you can skip it but what you just skipped may be needed in an upcoming lesson in Module 3+. Any single time it is music time you must be a paying subscriber. I got to this video with the search term of "learn guitar for free" and all sites lie there is no free.
Been learning for 1 and a half year. I started on rocksmith but left it behind and i am now playing to spotify and backing tracks instead. And here is a bit of advice to other beginners. Go and learn theory, scales etc even if just a bit. I put barely any time into these and even though i can play an easier dragonforce solo from their older ballad like songs, I have zero clue about how to actually write my own stuff and let alone improvise. Well to be precise i can write simpler melodies but i have to google on what works with what cord

Great video! Dear user that might be starting, If you take something from this is: *It adds up* . I was struggling a lot when I first started, but slowly but surely you pick up things, things happen a bit faster, smoother, better, maybe without you even noticing. You may not progress at leaps and bounds, but you always progress.
I love your editing, it makes your videos really interesting and funny to watch all the way through
rocksmith is so much fun, I play almost everyday and in 2 months I definitely improve my technique a lot, I think its a nice motivation for someone like me
Just earned yourself a sub! I love your personality and your editing

Big shouts out to Andy Guitar and Marty Music for helping me get my start. Getting over that initial hump of learning is definitely the hardest part, and they made it much easier and more fun than it could’ve been

Hey, it seems you missed mentioning the Guitar Learning Game app in the interactive lesson section. The Guitar Learning Game app displays chords with a 3D teacher, allowing you to rotate and zoom in on hand positions.
I tried yousician and it said play the 6th string 3rd fret and I did and it said no and to play the 4th fret I was so confused

I'm interested in learning guitar efficiently but i don't have anyone to personally teach me. I keep on watching guitar tutorials for certain songs but it doesn't retain in my mind. What must I first learn (e.g. scales) to actually understand playing guitar? :'))))
You're brilliant.
This is a really good video
But Justin guitar has so many videos what order do I watch them in
I would say the other in-person perk to learning guitar is that the teacher can not only correct bad habits before they form, but see the level where you’re at and help you focus on an area where you’re weaker than others (IF you have a good teacher of course). Online lessons were great for me, but I did have to skim around a little due to having played on my own for so long. Some things I am still really bad at, and others I’m pretty good; so it’s unbalanced. It’s also different motivation to take the time to learn a lesson, than physically going to learn. At least for me.
I liked the video, but honestly was it a plug for Justin Guitar or nah?
I've been playing for a year learning online and I love it then I tried rocksmith some helpful skills e.g. looking away from the fret board timing got me down but realized that's what I need because learning by yourself is fine but have some other interaction helps a lot
your editing cracks me up XD
