Learning guitar
Posted on 9/30/20 at 7:27 pm

I’m a newbie to the acoustic guitar and have learned 6-7 chords and how to transition between them (somewhat) smoothly. Still a work in progress and I pick up the guitar everyday for 20-30 mins.
What are some good Youtube channels you can recommend to further my learning? Two that I already subscribe to are Country Song Teacher and Marty Music.... TIA!

Active melody is legit. Maybe the best out there in my opinion.
Others include Robert Baker and Sean Daniel.

You might enjoy these they're four little beginner lessons that are not songs but tips.

I love his play by yourself blues lessons. Its nice for someone who can't sing at all.

Jake Lizzio's channel (Signals Music). It's not always necessarily for beginner players, but his knowledge of musical theory and his teaching style are awesome.
Above all, do not give up. Guitar can be VERY frustrating, especially for people like me who don't have natural musical talent. But it will eventually come with enough time and practice. I used to sometimes tell myself when trying something challenging "Oh well... I'll never get to that level anyway." Now it's not "I'll never get there" but "how do I play the piece in my own style to get there?"

Here's a couple more that popped up in my YouTube feed yesterday:
This one describes why and when to use to next one. It's dialogue about learning one snippet of a pentatonic scale.
It's something that would have been nice to see several years ago.
and the physical playing
Play the blues by visualizing a triangle and a square on the neck
Listen as he talks about being able to both move around to the correct scale or having the option to stay in just the original key scale. It may be confusing but listen a couple times, it's something that probably doesn't get discussed enough. And that's a nice ability to start with, before knowing enough to move around, to have a simple five note scale this useful. . . (and it's actually two)!

I second Justin Guitar, another 2 really good teachers are Andy Guitar, and Marty Schwartz.
Congrats on a great new hobby !

Marty is awesome. I also agree with the Justin recommendations.

I always thought that the best way to learn any musical instrument is to find a good teacher. I learnt the piano, so I can't imagine how it is possible to do this just watching YouTube videos.

607 videos listed.
Yep. Gonna be up late.
Side note... What do you guys do for your left hand when you know you are gonna abuse it on guitar? Not wash it? Only alcohol gels? Hold it over your head in the shower.
Or do your callouses get think enough that it does not matter.

It's only a problem for me, when I get those ragged turned up edges. They start brushing unintended notes during my changes. File or sand them smooth.
I was getting deep grooves, that was causing trouble coming off of certain notes, but I started tuning down a whole step. That helped a lot.

Looking for a new slightly above average acoustic guitar, any recommendations?

If you're around the $1k range, a Taylor 2 series or Martin Road Series will be nice.
Depends on what style you want and your budget.
You can get much more bang for your buck if you buy used on Craigslist or FB Marketplace.

Rick Beato is not really a great place for beginners but he's pretty good at explaining music theory, particularly for guitar. Rick has a full guitar course for a fee that's supposed to be one of the best available.

Rick's all over the place with his videos, but he gets a pass as he's lived a full alt-rock life.
