It only took a few days for me to play it quickly and fluidly. By the time I was able to play it, my fretting hand hurt like hell and could stretch much further than before. However, I only learned the basic thumb slapping technique, and the hard one probably takes ages to master
@@Trahzy I use to but just hear that awesome warm tone, it speaks for itself! It’s a tone that ya get can’t get with an electric, the only thing that comes close is an acoustic~electric. I also only play acoustic because it’s nothin’ fancy just simple and amazing. It’s also more humble and down to earth, it’s the guitar cowboys and miners would play around the campfire after a long day’s work.
i was taught on classical, and practiced on my acoustic at home, and have lived in a little apartment for years so I never had much of a chance to start electric. Then i developed more of a love for fingerstyle stuff and its just made for the acoustic more often so here I am an acoustic stan.
In all honesty, even though I prefer electrics, acoustics just give a sound that isn't achievable by an electric, so every once in awhile when I am playing too hard on an electric I will switch to my acoustic, its also honestly really good for discipline practice, because every mistake you make will be clearly heard.
Every song I learn to play, I learn on acoustic first. Then after I feel it's good enough I'll play on electric and try to get it to pace. Unless it's an acoustic song. Then I just get it to pace on acoustic🤣
Going though the same process right now. Started on an LP eleven years ago, got a Taylor for my birthday this year. Neil Young is back to being my musical God…
Ever since I learned piano, I rarely pick up my strings anymore. I used to talk to bad about piano before I learned. “That’s why guitars are more stylish and more tailored to the individual” Then I discovered the harmonic possibilities of the keyboard and was blown away. That made me realize that your harmonic approach has far more character tailored to you than just a color or style. And oddly enough I think I left that comment on this video or another one of your clips year ago. 😂
Me playing acoustic: I usually play electric but I like both equally Slips and drops pick into the body: I exclusively play electric, I do not like acoustic.
I was watching an interview with Charlie hunter last night and he was talking about his work w John. John is a huge fan if Charlie's playing and you can hear it in Neon. His entire technique for that tune is based on Charlie's playing. Def check out that interview it's so good!
I came from electric to aucustic, been playing for about 10 years and i would say 7 of thore years is on my aucustic. I just feel more connected to it!
This was perfect 😂. I know people who can relate. Unfortunately (For my ability to relate to this video), I started learning guitar at 9 years old or so, 23 ish years ago on a classical acoustic from the 60’s. Went from there, to a crazy. Late 80’s “Vantage” superstrat. That I looooved! And put a TON of stickers on. Played hundreds of shows on that crazy beautiful beast. I ended up with a couple more superstrats, and then one day, I was gifted a Les Paul. Went bonkers after that. Got into semi-hollow guitars, started playing more blues and southern rock, and a lot of grunge (I was a punk/metal player for the most part before the Les Paul changed my world). Then I got into some insane offset stuff, went through a crazy Gretsch phase, then I got into tele’s. Don’t get me started on pedals and amps. Anyway. Now I run a studio (and still play live) and I have a bit of everything. Telecasters though…Damn. They’re the bee’s 🐝 knees. With the 330/335/345/355 coming in second. For now 😂 ! As a guitar players journey of discovery is lifelong for most. Some artists find what they like early and stick to it. But for the vast majority of career and hobbyist musicians, it just never ends 😁! Never ever. Ever ever. Ever. ☮️🙌🏽
I went from electric to acoustic because our band broke up and I cba to find another one. Learning finger style songs meant being able to play the melodies/percussion of a band on one instrument!
Wait, just WAIT, ‘til he discovers Jorma….. There will be bits of brain everywhere. Jorma’s acoustic stuff is simply mind blowing. Jorma is to the acoustic Ole’ Timey Stuff, as much as any living man.
