Most chords on guitar are pretty hard to finger. Some just seem easy because we learn them first and they seem common. Eb7b9 is easier to finger than a root 6 bar chord (if you play all the notes including the 5th on the top)

@@Deanguilberry hey what does the 9 after that second flat stand for

@@Haddosan it stands for the 9th note after the 7th when building a chord, it's a flat 7 flat 9 chord

Wait until he hears about bar chords like the F major.

Jazz music intensifies

It looks like it’s a player series though judging by the sticker, so it’s one of Fender’s most affordable guitars (around $700 - $800) but it is still definitely not bad for a beginner.

yeee the blue looks dope too in my opinion

Ethan Elliott Fender player series is not a bad guitar even for an experienced guitarist. I own many guitars.. 4 of them being fender strats, everything from my $4k custom shop to American standard, to my most recent purchase of a player series strat. I was extremely impressed with the quality and feel of it right away, I’ve since modded it to be a proper gig setup but I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for an incredible instrument on a budget.

Well whatever guitar inspires you to play and that you think will suit you good as a beginner is the one you should go for.

Cz Strats are so unique, and most beginners start with not Strats. But srsly, I don't see your point

Dude I been playing my guitar for like 2 months now and he plays way better than me😂

@@ezekielcamacho5496 💀💀

@@ezekielcamacho5496 he just put a lot of time into it. some ppl just learn faster. keep practicing :)

It’s sooo true

Well I wouldn’t say nothing with his right hand, he uses a bow with the violin which at least means his hand isn’t obsolete

He is now John Bonham

Drums is different from strings, it’s gonna take him longer with drums, trust me i know, it wasn’t an easy transition

@@gianski3306 no it ain't.. He's gonna be jamming with Ac/Dc tracks after 20 mins of drums.. It's easy. I'm a drummer too

Xum Xaikia yeah but is it gonna be in time? Consider that fact though, also, some people have a hard time making their limbs do something different

@@idonthaveaname20yearsago66 they have nothing to do lmaooo

Lol same...guitar is very hard

Having learnt another instrument really helps. I’m also a violinist and I used to frequently pick up random instruments and play melodies. If you can understand how the tones and semitones on a particular instrument works, it’s not too difficult to play melodies.

He did the violin frettings

@@J1Bigtime that means he have a perfect pitch i think...

Larrenz !! Nah, perfect pitch is the ability to hear or sing a note and identify it without any reference. You don’t need perfect pitch to work out how to play new instruments. You can do it probably without relative pitch even but I think a lot of good violinists will develop a decent level of relative pitch. As well, perfect pitch isn’t some magic skill that will make you good at music either. I have a friend with perfect pitch and she didn’t find it easy to learn the violin or new instruments or even do things like melodic dictation (writing a melody out on paper just by listening).

And he also plays a stringed instrument for 13 years. Picking up a saxophone would be so much tougher for him, I guarantee.

This comment is kinda stupid. Music theory doesnt helps you developing technique. He might had his left hand trained, but not his right hand. Do you even play guitar?? If you do so, try flipping your guitar, by side. Try to pick with your left hand for a week, if you are right handed. That would be pretty much of the same as him. I'll see you in 1 week, lets see if you can play well as that.

@@istanbulmetrosu2485 it’s not stupid to assume that somebody who is well versed in music theory already on a STRINGED INSTRUMENT would be able to pick up another STRINGED INSTRUMENT quicker than somebody who isn’t. Your comment is stupid. And I’ve played guitar for 10 years, can I play left handed? Yes, but not very well. And I’m not posting a video because I don’t have to prove shit to you. The techniques between violin and guitar are different yes, but to sit there and actually think a professional level violinist wouldn’t be able to learn how to play a guitar quicker than people who have never played is downright ignorant.

@@TheDude044 I know that his left hand is trained. My point was his right hand. 1 week isnt enough for picking. People struggle with alternate picking for months. Also its not normal how clean his picking is, for a 1 week player. I didnt say a shit about his left hand, and yes cause of it is trained with violin, he can get it way more faster than anyone else. But his right hand... You dont have to prove me anything. I never asked for that. I could go try it myself. Just wanted to let you see how hard is it to get picking in a week. It took months to get rid out of sloppy, unclean playing and muting other string. His fingers might be trained yes, but guitar has so many different techniques, only with left hand. Have you seen how relaxed he is with the guitar? The way hes holding it, finger positioning, etc... Even from the very first time he hold the guitar. You should be wayy more uncomfortable with it, when you play violin for 13 years. Also, those slides was way good for a begginer, imo. Not like he cant do it, yes he cant, but not for the reason you are thinking right now. Your fingers blisters. Do you remember the first time you picked up a guitar? They hurt. You wont be able to play for days because of the pain. Even in the first day. But he seems like he already has that hard fingertips to do those slides.

@@TheDude044 Also, yes he can learn faster than a normal person, but, 1 week isnt enough, that was my point. Randomly swearing on people because they didnt had the same opinion as you? So cool, dude.

Dude I’ve been playing for three years, and I’m still crap so far. I’m not even self taught lmao

Self taught and all i can say is yes hes good at starting guitar hes not a good beginner lol he played a violin which is structured a lot like guitar neck strings theory and all that, now it would of been something if he started playing an instrument completely different, like drumming ha

same :(

Same except eleven

You're right! Although his right hand technique wasn't the best, he really nailed that solo and those arrangements, I've been playing guitar for 5 years and he already surpassed me lol. This is a genuine passionate musician.

Which is better, your 10 years or his 13 years?

@@laltanpuia2619 it's very hard to try and compare instruments, coz every instrument has its own quirks and techniques and playing styles

no, he just showing the benefits understanding music theory or having a strong sense in melody. and the anology is not applr to apple

@@myzaluna Don't totally agree with you. When he says to himself 'feel the string' that is the sort of thing that goes beyond music theory. But I appreciate your reply.

@@myzaluna understanding music theory won't make it that much easier to pick up an instrument Plenty of great artists don't know a ton of music theory

Fr tho

so true xD

I thought the same thing. It's pretty cool to see his progress.

I think one of the perks of starting off acoustic is when you play notes the wrong way you can't immediately mute the strings to hide it (like he did a few times here.) It forces you to go back and learn why you strummed it/fretted it wrong and then your ears start helping you correct the issues. That was one of the worst beginner problems I kept hearing on the pieces. Still sounds great for a week only though! I hope he keeps playing some guitar too--it's fun to see his progress.

@@teamrockettes That's also why my guitar teacher got me to start playing classical with overdrive... You need to play as clean as possible with all that noise so perfect technique is a must!

Abraham Sink his soloing was 99% violin skill and 1% guitar

4 years? Maybe you just played it once or twice a week

I can relate I've been playing guitar for a while now and all I've learned is how to solo over slow dancing in a burning room

Either he has perfect pitch or smth, either this is fake cuz he’s playing better than me in many years 😂😭

You really can't learn to play this good in one week. Like honestly You can't

Honestly I been thru so many Ibanez even though I said I would never play one. I just want a fender rn

Violin doesn't translate to guitar that easily man, trust me.

@@winstoncarter2119 It does, I played violin for 6-7 years, like what monster said, the left hand transfers really really easily but the right takes so much more work. But it doesn’t work the other way around, going from guitar to violin is much much harder as its fretless and also needs a bow.

@@winstoncarter2119 I played guitar, ukulele, and bass for a few years before playing the violin. I finished some of the basics in 1 day what beginner violinists can do in a week. It translates very easily

Hey, I'm 68 years old and a brandy new beginner. Just bought a Gretsch G5420T and I'm having a blast lol.

Exactly, when I first learned drums, it went really quickly because I already had a sense of rhythm and knew a fair bit of music theory, so I could focus on actual drum skills instead of trying to understand time signatures and counting

The thing is, I'm an intermediate flute player who can read sheet music and has some basic music theory down. I'm not starting from scratch. ;_;

You do realize the solo is like super edited, right?

@@dirgmario The solo at 7:11? You think that there's some edition in the audio? I didn't notice any cut in the video.

Andre the video has no cuts, that’s true. It’s the audio that’s edited. It’s not well synchronized with the video. He clearly recorded various takes and then put them together in one audio file and synchronized with the video of probably his best execution. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still remarkable his progress in one week, but that solo does seem edited to me. I could be wrong, of course.

That's because his fingers are already stronger than you (as he's been playing violin), and also be knows music theory.🙄

obviously is FAKE bro jajaj

Its fake. He has been playing longer

@@thekuban no he hasn’t

@@thekuban he is very talented tho

Hey do u know what the name of the song he tried to play is 2:16

@@danyy.y sweet child of mine

Exactly my thought. Must be the tone and it sounds like Polyphia’s 40oz.

You're right! I thought his skill that translated over well from violin to guitar was actually the sliding (or changing positions) and vibrato. Which are a violinist's bread and butter.

You're nuts not him

Definitely not the playing style, lmfao But his construction is hiphop classical pop, Tim’s got a lot of rock and metal influence, I think.

The solo he did is from the original video that the backing track was from which I’m pretty sure was neo soul in 7 stages. Like it’s an exact cover but it’s still very impressive

I have seen more determined people

Was about to comment this bruh. Buys a whole ass strat

Yea there's no way the dudes never touched a guitar.

Actually, as a violinist this makes a lot of sense. For better or worse the benefits of a quality instrument while learning is highly emphasized as it helps set up proper technique for the rest of your life. A mediocre violin can make learning so much harder! (I'm not a guitarist, so I have no idea how true that is for guitars, but that's how our brains think.) Also our concept of expensive instruments is pretty skewed, lol.

@@lynettes2796 It applies mostly in terms of how it's setup. If you level, crown, and polish the frets on a cheap guitar and give it a good setup it becomes a really good place to start learning.

@@lynettes2796 idk, but theres a very low chance a person can go from learning nothing to start playing jazz chords, and nailing scales within a week. I am a violinist who learned the guitar too, and the hardest part was the amount of stretch ur fingers have to do, compared to a violin, and that took me a while to get used to. Fingertip conditioning also is different compared to violin, cause the strings are under more tension than a violins. He should've at least mentioned that his fingertips were sore or something, cause even mine slightly were although I'm a violinist. I don't believe that the dude never played a guitar before.

ofc he's good. he was a violinist moving to an electric guitar. despite hurdles to overcome on the guitar, they are nothing he can't get through with a bit of focus.

He obviously didn’t. This is more so a couple months worth of progress for a natural so I refuse to believe he could go from never touching a guitar to playing that well in a week

@@atj4283 he hasnt the violin is a much more complicated instrument and requires great skill so no wonder he’s able to take them to the violin

@@vickieg9176 anyone who does the research would know that even then there would still be a transitional period. If you look up instruments similar to violin the guitar isn’t one of them. This man would have to be the most talented player in the world to be able to solo a instrument he’s never touched in a week of playing. Also the day by day progress in the video doesn’t even make sense. He went from picking a few chords horribly to full on soloing in like 3 days...bullshit.

@@vickieg9176 now if he went from violin to bass it would be sort of believable.

I think you're on to something

Think i gotta start violin

just dive in to theory man you'll get the hang of it in a few months and you'll start connecting stuff and be able to write your own shit. Try improvising over a backing track that helps a lot as well. :)

@@countdooku75 yeah i try to learn myself but i don't know the accords. I play the bastuba and there you don't have accords

bro dw this is cuz he has background in violin playing, which is mainly single note lines. He understands how notes work and how to find them around the fretboard (that's also why his right hand technique and chords are kinda eh, cuz those those aren't really a part of a violin playing)

I am a guitarist who practiced for almost 6 hours a day for years (Yes I know individual people learn faster or slower) I know what it takes and it certainly doesnt take just a week to solo. If he played a cello this well after a week it is quite easy to believe but not a dam guitar, sorry.

@@allexfenty lol. i'm sorry, no disrespect but you're absolutely wrong. You know how I know this is real? He started playing scales first instead of your typical wonderwall songs LOL. you can clearly see he has a strong music theory background, which most beginners like yourself/self-taught.... don't have that fundamental. Plus you can see the piano in the background, so he plays that and violin as well as 13 years of training WITH a music teacher. His leads are a combination of scales, simple arpeggios, riffs etc in a key. it's not that hard, quite easy if you understand theory. Yes, it is absolutely hard to pull off in a week but this isn't impossible, especially for someone who has music knowledge for 13yrs. if he didn't mention that, i'd call bs as well, but this is credible. sorry you feel that way and have tons of doubts, but I do buy it lol
