evolution of a guitarist 

Where is "I'm gonna learn the intro to ten songs and never the rest"

You skipped a step where you lost your confidence when you see someone else's great solo and you give up playing for a while.

I went through 1 punk by ear 2 funk/metal lines 3 learning actual theory 4 instrumental jazz fusion 5 indie experimental rock 6 crustgrindoomsludgecore All on bass, of course

My evolution was 1. Mess around 2. Learn some jazz Lofi music 3. Playing Ichika nito and hard tabs I shouldn’t start so fast on

Damn I skipped from phase 1 all the way to phase 8

For acoustic players it's 1. Noob Phase 2. Country Phase 3. Folk Phase 4. Rhythm Phase 5. Lead Phase 6. Theory Phase 7. Classical Phase 8. Playing Wonderwall For Girls Phase

I've been stuck on "strums the chords well enough for me to be able to sing" phase for years

Mine was: Age 2: Touches my first guitar with my dad whilst he's playing Age 9: Dad convinces me to play guitar and I get my first half-scale Ashton that cost all of $100 Age 10: Dad decides I can have a real guitar since I've progressed from Smoke on the Water and can now play the first position on a minor pentatonic scale Age 12: Drop guitar because dad was pressuring me to practise too much Age 13: Wait I can play game music Age 14: Get into Nirvana and Soundgarden, pick up my guitar and begin practising for 2-3 hours a day Age 14: god my fingers hurt Age 14: Dad gives me an $800 Jackson I love it it's my favourite guitar it's so fun to play no joke Age 14: I'm so close to being better than dad and he's been playing for 40 years Age 15: Wait I'm in a band and I'm performing this is sick and now here i am thanks for listening lol

Imagine being able to play smoke on the water

I went from 8 to “only playing green day”

When you realize you just went to stage 1 to 8 without experience: 00:55

My evolution: Easy simple noob songs Getting a little better (starting to learn fingerpicking) Giving up for 6 months Starting again and learning a lot in just a week Edit: 7 Months later. I've learned a lot... like a lot lot... and I'm probably gonna be joining a band soon.. And I'm playing guitar everyday now

Is there a “slow sad song” phase or am I just depressed

mine went like 1. noob phase 2. wtf am i doing 3. jazz phase.

I'm still in the "get a guitar" phase

Then there’s the phase of making a video about different phases that a guitar player goes through

Evolution of a pianist: 1. Meme phase 2. Heart and soul phase 3.Fur Elise phase 4. Playing other songs than fur Elise and heart and soul 5. Playing songs using only chords 6. Theory phase 7. Jazz phase 8. Meme phase again

1: don't have guitar 2: listen to Slayer riffs 3: get guitar 4: metal phase Edit: not a phase

My phases so far (8 months in) 1: play once every two weeks if I remember 2: finally learn some chords 3: RAPID GROWTH HOLY HELL WHAT HAPPENED 4: I write my own songs now.....

For me... 1. Easy Beatles strumming 2. Beach songs with fast strumming and only barre chords 3. Playing Green Day songs on an acoustic guitar 4. Playing Green Day songs on a new, cheap electric guitar 5. Easy pentatonic soloing phase 6. Learning tons of difficult songs but never getting good at them I'm still going, I've only been plahinv for 10 months

Me jumping from Noob Phase to Meme Phase: *Parkour!*

My phases were 1. Heavy metal phase 2. Heavy metal phase 3. Heavy metal phase 4. Heavy metal phase 5. Heavy metal phase

mine was age 11 - i have heard my dad play guitar for a long time and i finally pick it up age 12 - i learn a few notes and play despacito age 13 - learns the first song with a few chords off youtube and gets introduced to youtube guitarists age 14 - gets my first actual guitar, a Fender Strat Custom and gets a teacher and learns how to solo age 15 - learns a ton of solos, jazz kinda, and metal, sees other great kid guitarists better than me and almost stops playing everyday but ends up playing the next morning and becomes better than his dad still going on and i hope ill become a guitarist like Steve Vai one day never give up keep on going and remember, "Practice makes Perfect"

..... he just explained every phase I went through as a guitar player IN PERFECT ORDER

Stage 1: Never going on an actual stage Stage 2: Fake ego Stage 3: Blowing your first performance Stage 4: Quit Stage 5: Die Stage 6: Get resurrected by Fender Stage 7: Start learning scales Stage 8: Get bored Stage 9: Join a band Stage 10: Quit again Stage 11: Quit Stage 12: Settle down and make a family Stage 13: Pick the guitar back up at 35 because you feel like you’ve not achieved anything Stage 14: Quit

Ah the theory phase, I'll get to it one day

Love your guitar man!

1: know your enemy - green day 2: seven nation army - white stripes 3: how you remind me - nickelback 4: zombie - cranberries 5: thirth shop - macklemore 6: levels - avicii 7: I'm yours - Jason Mraz 8: vodka - koorpiklaani 9: begginer solo improvisation

My bass phase - The basics - AC DC - learning about Metallica - seeing Cliff Burton play - *metal* - *metal* - *metal* - *metal*

The original comment has been thrown into the abyss, never to be seen again..

How am I simultaneously stuck in all of these

Only phase I go through was funky groove, and that's because I really admired Tomo Fujita Growing up! He also guitar teacher when I lived Kyoto, Japan.

0:56 My sleep demon paralysis at 3am

0:32 let's be honest everyone is stuck there

Love it.

that jazz lick is so clean

Bass Evolution: Stage 1: Seven Nation Army Stage 2: Rock Stage 3: SLAPP Stage 4: Theory via Adam Neely Stage 5: Jazz & Stupid Time Signatures Stage 6: Gigging Stage 7: mEmES Stage 8: *playing copyrighted music on RU-vid*

Why is this actually how I evolved? Like I’m not even being ironic.

think i'm on the metal phase for ever

You forgot the *im not learning any new songs and playing the only 3 songs I know over and over again* phase.

9. Switches to cello

I honestly think I could play the "faster soloing" thing, but I don't think I could play the easy solo.

I started learning last month and I'm at my Jazz phase. I have always liked jazz

damn, that hits me hard. Took 7 years for me after faster solo phase to realise that learning theory would be useful lol

My evolution was: - Sad song noob phase - Black Metal noob phase - Death Metal kinda noob phase - Deathcore phase - Djent/progressive phase

I love the fact that the "super jazz book" has two pages

man really just staring a hole into all of us

This is so accurate I'm going to demand you.

Help I’m stuck in theory phase and don’t know how to apply it 😂

For me: Step 1: Buy a Gibson SG Standard so I can sound like Angus Young or Robbie Krieger. Step 2: Look surprised when I still sound like me. Step 3: Accept that being a good rhythm player ain't a bad thing.

I've been through all these phases(sort of) and sometimes I might play something from each of these.

Spot on

And the Nirvana-destroy your guitar and play like an angry Jonny Greenwood style?

This is where his emotions drained and he became the Davie504-like man we know today

Bro as I'm watching you, an ad of you comes on.. "The right way to practice scales vs. the wrong way."

I love how you always looking into the cameras soul 😂😂😂

You forgot the "Through the fire and the flames" Phase

0:37 when I wait in the elevator 😐...

metal 'phase' im never getting out of mine mate

that was very accurated

I started with theory because of my dad and went STRAIGHT to metal, then country 😂

you forgot the phase where you playing all four notes of metalica whole time

His face is staring right into my soul constantly

I’ve been stuck somewhere between 4 and 5 for years- have to break out of the rut.

You are at copying Rudy’s stare while playing phase

Dude you literally hit the nail right on the head with this one, this was literally all my phases lol!

Every phase is happening at once for me

For some reason I knew it was going to play out the way it did

currently in the meme phase. i'm basically a pro.

And Donna Lee, nice choice of jazz

I went from (by ear) Learning all the solos of Queen songs To learning most Queen songs fully To learning most Metallica songs fully To learning random shit when I feel like it. What did I get from this? I learned good rhythm to lead parts from Sir Dr Brian May. Very good guitarist to study and learn. From James Hetfield, I learned speed, accuracy, down picking, and really fast playing. From Kirk Hammett, I learned Pentatonics and WAH.

I'm in the phase where I'm falling in love with guitar. Oh, and soon to start composing songs.

Was a classical vocalist for years before I got serious about learning guitar. Knowing theory from the beginning is a game changer.

1. Noob phase 2. well, still noob phase 3. I'd rather play piano, because that actually sounds like something.

It’s about time this guy smiled

The absolutely smoldering look he makes when playing 035

I love how Jazz is right after theory haha

1st phase: My favourite genre is Death Metal and my favourite band is Nirvana.

This is shockingly accurate 🤯

you should remake this as a short

This guy has good content 10/10!

I just love his facial expressions, you can honestly see what he feels

love it with an Epiphone too. you can kick ass with any guitar

Very good video 👌

Fook... thought I was in stage 4. I was so wrong... *I'M* *A* *PRO*

Mines was like 1:) Kurt Cobain Phase 2:) Slash Phase 3:) H E R M A N L I P H A Z E D R A G O N F O R C E

I’m always on the metal phase no matter what I don’t plan on changing either

i'm in my rock phase now i know whats coming

Phase 9 for me was using my knowledge of 5 plus years plating guitar to record 2 or 3 chords for my Lo-Fi Chill Hop Beat and then loop it through the whole song

been playing for 8 years and I’m still in the metal phase and don’t plan on leaving jt

This is so accurate. Everything he said has been me. Im at jazz and theory phase now.

This guy's deadpan is great!

Everyone went through the Eddie Van Halen Eruption solo phase😂

1. smoke on the water 2. you shook me all night long 3. symphony of destruction i dont know all

Ok we get it, you're good at guitar

Hell yeah, 'm on step 4

I'm almost offended how this accurately depicts my career as a guitarist

This is so fookin true. I'm at phase 7 after phase 8

I see my dyslexia has struck again. I'm doing these absolutely back asswards

Why is this unbelievably accurate
