Yes, practically everything you need to know in fundamentals and theory. For song tutorials I'd say GuitarZero2Hero incredibly good very detailed videos in his teaching method and supplemental graphics in video.
me: **Looks at my guitar** Guitar: YES YES YES me: nah GUitar: well,shit
Ok as somebody who literally went through all of these lessons, here’s my feedback to all of the different options (starting in the way I took them): 1. Online lessons My first contact with guitar about 4 years ago. I’ve got myself a cheap very old and crappy acoustic guitar and wanted to sound like David Gilmour. So I checked out how to play Wish you were here and found a video from MartyMusic. As a start it’s super useful and I caught up pretty quickly and was able to play a few songs. But there were some drawbacks. The first time I tried to play, the guitar was terribly out of tune and I didn’t realise it. So I thought I’m just to dumb to play a D chord. I thought you tune your guitar once a year like a piano, so that really threw me off. A simple mistake that could have been easily avoided by instead taking: 2. Private Lessons: Yes, it being incredibly expensive is the big downside and that’s also why I took only 20 minute lessons in the beginning. 20 minutes are probably never enough time, but it’s enough to accompany your online lessons and getting feedback. Basically we barely ever learned a song for a few weeks and stuck with it. It was more like that, that I practiced like 10 songs in between lessons with the help of Marty, Justin and co. and just asked the questions to my teacher at the next lesson that had been bothering me. The one thing I learned is, that it’s mostly about just being motivated anyways, so no matter which method you'll choose in the end, you have to be the one to put the time in. That’s also when to use a private teacher: if you really want to take it seriously. In the end I even had 1 1/2 hour classes because I knew that it was what I wanted and that it was the passion I wanted to pursue in life. It’s really really effective, but mostly just for the feedback and for being forced to actually practice. For the knowledge only you could also simply use: 3. Online Courses and Master Classes: I somehow fell in love with the concept of theses online courses. “Just finish this course and you’re as good as you could ever imagine”. The first one I took was just called electric guitar masterclass (it was German) and I did actually never completely finish it, but still learned some of the most essential techniques in there. The good thing about courses you have to pay for is, that they keep you motivated and they are usually actually giving you all the necessary information that you need for a specific path. You just have to actually do it. The other course I can actually recommend is NextLevelPlaying from Paul Davids. It is really expensive but does cover all the basics and even more. As a kind of general foundation it’s really really good! And definitely better than: 4. Guitar Games: I fiddled around with yousician in the beginning as well and even tho it might be fun, I don’t think it’s really useful to learn anything on a fundamental level. So if you want to learn something more substantial I definitely wouldn’t recommend any of them to you, but it might motivate you to practice at all, so maybe try it for a while. Obviously the last online thing missing is: 5. Online private lessons: I was forced to do some with my guitar teacher because of Corona and obviously it was not as good as in person. But the opportunity it does give you is to take lessons from artists you love. So I did take a few lessons from one of my guitar hero’s who was giving lessons since he couldn’t tour anymore for a living. Since he lives in a different country it would have never worked out otherwise and that way I got some incredibly useful tips, that I would have never gotten otherwise and that were custom made for my playing. It doesn’t make any sense to take only lessons like this, but it does make perfect sense if you have specific questions and problems to work with and know what you want to get out of the lesson. The one thing that trumps all of the previous tho is: 6. Music School: Pretty much one year ago I passed the audition for my music university. With the joined combination of all the previous things I actually got good enough in only 3 years that people thought I can study it now. Big disclaimer: since I live in Germany studying is free. Or technically costs 300$ per semester but you only pay that for a train ticket. So it’s not even for the school itself but you still have to pay it. So probably the experience in the US is much more stressful especially on your bank account. But if you ever get the chance to do it cheaply: take it! Being surrounded by all kinds of musicians all day long, having band class, private classes and other incredibly useful stuffs is literally the best way to actually master your instrument. It’s soooo much fun and I’m incredibly thankful for this opportunity. It made me realise one last option tho, that seems to be overlooked nowadays: 7. Playing along to records: Honestly, just do that. It’s for free and even if you mess up, you develop your own style. And if you don’t, you learn the in’s and outs of somebody else’s style. It’s the most useful thing for phrasing, your ears and technique. So if you only do one thing, do this one. I hope this was useful to somebody. I’m definitely a child of this generation of learning guitar and fell victim to the many different options a couple of times, but in the end I do think I would never study it right now, if it wasn’t for all of it. We do live in the best time to learn guitar, you just sometimes need to realise which option works and which doesn’t and you’re gonna end up having an amazing time!

Justin Guitar is literally the only motivation i need to play. what a wholesome guy
About a year ago I started learning using Andy Guitar's 10 episode beginner's course on youtube. After about 4 episodes I got bored, figured I got the basics, and just went on to the ultimate tabs website and learned every Wilbur Soot song. Now I'm about moderate at guitar. Not a bad way to learn as far as I'm concerned, do it at your own pace.

find a friend who knows how to play and get the basics down from them or if that's not an option get a teacher. Then it gets easy. KZread and Guitar Tabs are the number one way for learning songs that you actually want and like. I don't know why some guitarists shit on tabs. It's fast, easy and free
Started guitar at 27 years old on August 28th 2020. Started with rocksmith , yousician and KZread videos . Now i just learn songs , techniquies, a bit of music theory and jam along with people who are better than me, which helps a lot. I’m glad i picked up a guitar and hope whoever is out there knows that if they put in the time and effort you can do it. Good luck to all the beginners.

Thx man
Im personally taking a "learn on the job" approach. I learn chords and techniques as they become relevant to what i care about playing. Im not in a band, im not doing this seriously, its just for me, so why stress over a million things that dont matter to what i want to play
My parents got me Rocksmith this Christmas, I've been playing already for like 2 years. It's pretty fun anyway since I like how it ranks me and tells me how accurate I am when playing a cover
Justin guitar for theory and how to play...Marty Music to learn some cool riffs when you just wanna have fun....thats the main thing rocking out and having fun!
Dude… I don’t care what you talk about. Your style is just hilarious. I wish i can deliver my presentation at work this way
Shout out guitarlessons365, I just know with him that I'm learning the song as accurately as possible

Such a creative way to break down the pros and cons of different guitar learning methods! I love the stickmen animations 😊. I've dabbled in a mix of these methods, and each has its unique benefits. Speaking of games, have you ever tried the Guitar Learning Game? I've been experimenting with it, and it offers a cool blend of gaming with actual learning. They have this unique 3D chord view and an AR teacher that really stands out. The way they simplify songs has been a game-changer for me. Maybe it's something to consider if you ever update this animation. Thanks for the fun and informative video! 🎸
I love your videos funny and informative!
I remember watching you like four years ago :)) love ur vids
Up until now I’ve been learning beginner songs suggested by random blogs through ultimate guitar and sky guitar
Scott Paul Johnson has some great stuff on music theory for guitar on YT, but way more on his Patreon. Also probably has the best camera set up.
While I have done a significant amount of learning through private in-person lessons, there are so many free resources out there. Now, imo it is has always been very convenient to have a private lessons teacher because when I can't quite find an exact answer online he is there to assist, but for any intermediate players wanting to become advanced, experimentation, learning songs on your own, and doing a lot of listening is best (and free!).
love ur vids brotha
I love when you make these animated type videos!
Needed this 😭
I quite enjoy your videos. Your a rare one
I always used rocksmith , and it work as well , i recomand it at every beginner
Justin guitar and a guitar teacher after completing the course is the way to go imo
I’m 43 and started playing a year ago. I have picked up my guitar every day or night except for maybe 2 weeks total. Nothing but rocksmith, tabs and free people on KZread. Rocksmith is hard to beat, and awesome way to visualize tabs with background music.
This dude is underrated
Start learning with free videos on KZread. Once you got an idea what you are doing then you can decide by yourself whether you should enroll in a course or not. Trust me if you are dedicated then you don't need to spend even a single penny to learn something new. Everything is out there for free to learn. All you gotta do is spend some time to find the right materials for you to learn. Take it slow and steady if you want but don't get overwhelmed with so many options. Try some techniques and then decide which one is right for you. That is how you learn basically anything by yourself without spending a single penny.
Marty and Justin are my heroes.
Nothing says rock n roll like.. certification! I love it
Steve stine,Rob baker,hp crazy and rock on good people are some good ones too
Rocksmith is good if it wasn't for that lag. I just try and memorize the patterns

Best fun way to learn guitar is watching Redlight blue he even subscribed me lol xD (Love your videos)
if someone out there is willing to get into guitar, learn c chord, d chord, e chord, a chord and the g chord, then u learn songs you like, and search for "_____ for beginners", it might not seem effective but it actually is.. and after you learn all that, you learn how to do barre chords, then with a lot of practice ull be good!
or just go to ultimate guitar and learn tabs and chords

JustinGuitar has our back
I learned exclusively with Rocksmith, and KZread, and I'm still consistently climbing skill wise. The main issue is the core game is too fun, and it's too easy to overlook the lessons, technique games, and all the other modes that are there to teach chord names, string skipping, and scales. It also doesn't teach much theory at all, so you gotta find that on your own.

Old Yousician was legendary
Community colleges offer semester long courses for like $300. It's a good deal.
Don't forget friends and family members! I'm learning with Justin and if I get stuck I ask my boyfriend or my mum, I also play for my friends and ask for feedback and advice (don't take the piss just quick 5 mins here and there)
gonna check that justin guy after this
I don’t even play guitar, I don’t know why im really here. I play balalaikas
Love you
Justin is the best!
ya got me
Me personally don't like Justin new app for some reason I loved the old one though and I learned a lot from him
When looking for a one on one teacher, it's best to try different people and see who works well with you. They don't have to be someone who works for a big company, my guitar teacher is retired, but he's great. Sooo, just experiment. If you feel your teacher doesn't work for you, then try someone else. I hope this was helpful. :]
