👇👇👇 OPEN ME! 👇👇👇

My name is Ellen and I create step-by-step guitar tutorials here on my channel, #for3v3rfaithful 🦋Welcome to the very first episode of my brand new beginner series, where I'll have you playing your first song in just 10 minutes! 😱

Through the years, many people have told me on their first day of guitar lessons, "I just want to play a song" - so that's what this video is for! 🎸This series is intended to teach you the basics of guitar by PLAYING ACTUAL SONGS in each video! 🎶 Of course, you'll still learn the foundational stuff along the way, but it'll be sprinkled in so you can still have fun and play your guitar while learning. 🤗

In this episode, we jump right into tuning your guitar and learning your first 2 chords, G and Cadd9 - some of the most popular chords used in today's music! 👍 Throughout this series, we'll dive deeper into topics like tuning your guitar, practicing chord transitions, and figuring out strumming patterns, but for this first lesson, I want you to concentrate on the fact that you CAN play something just minutes after picking up your 6 string!! 💕

Thanks so much for watching, and good luck!! ✌

"So you finally found some time to learn how to play the guitar"

Us on quarantine: YES

[lamb]

The amount of pain this causes on my pinkie finger is unreal

[lionheart]

About four months ago I had the impulse to start playing guitar, so I looked up a bunch of YouTube videos, not many were helpful but then I found this video. This video changed my life. To keep it short your wholesomeness made it so easy to follow along and because of that I am now performing and even singing in public spaces. I just wanted to say thank you for getting me started. Rock on people ❤️

My husband and i are in our 40s. We both wanted to learn to play as kids but never did. We've bought guitars and have been exploring YouTube for tutorials. Your videos are leaps and bounds better for true beginners than any others we've found. THANK YOU for making these. We are looking forward to this journey with you as our guide.

Can we just appreciate how we are getting this for free 💞✨

I begged my mom to buy me a Washburn acoustic guitar when I was about 14. It was pretty expensive and we were far from wealthy but she is so kind and ended up buying it for me. 20 years later... I figure now might be a good time to learn how to play it.

[danielalvarez]

Thank you so much I couldn’t but let go of a tear when you said it was my first song, when I was younger I got discouraged by someone very close to me about learning guitar but I’m glad I gave it another shot thank you for giving me the confidence I needed.

[angelikairwin]

Love love love!!! I have always wanted to play the acoustic guitar. I am now 62 years old and my husband bought a guitar for me knowing that this was something I’ve always wanted. I can’t believe that you taught me to play a song for the very first day that I had this guitar, love and hugs you’re amazing!

[izzy]

ive had a guitar sitting in my room for like 2 years now and FINALLY ive gotten the courage to actually learn it

[lili]

My finger have never felt this uncomfy before
Edit: ZOOWEMAMA WHAT IN THE- thank you so much for the GODAMN likes!!😭

[larrycarlson]

I found your videos while looking for guitar advice for my daughter, Zoe. I just bought her a Baby Taylor (TS Edition) and I'm so excited to watch your videos with her while she learns how to play. You're manner is so kind and reassuring, I know this will be a space where Zoe is going to be comfortable and excited about playing without feeling defeated or frustrated. Thank you for this, I can't wait to update you on other videos when she's playing along with you.

I last picked up my guitar 5 years ago when I was 9 and for the past two years I have been telling myself to try again but never got to it. Now I am learning from scratch again, and this video is so straight to the point and helpful, thank you!

My smile was huge when I realised I got the hang of changing chords again

[charlatteCooks]

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HOW NICE SHE IS!?

[Justln]

Her: Hop in any time!
Me: *Plays horribly *
Her: You got it!

[jmeyer]

You are so great at teaching and not overwhelming! Thank you so much my grandpa is dieing and has always wanted me to learn to play, he even built many guitars from scratch and gave me one. You have helped me put a smile on his face due to making it fun to learn and not discouraging. ❤ thank you

[manjirihardas]

Can we all take a moment to appreciate her beautiful voice

[molbie]

does anyone else have literal indents in their finger tips from holding down the strings but it still makes a buzzing sound-

[oskr_]

People leaving those comments saying how much they're struggling and how much their fingers hurt makes me feel better about myself and pushes me to keep going thanks y'all!

I had my guitar since christmas 2022 and ive been learning for a week and a half now! I met my friend at subway i work at, she plays and she motivated me to play just because she played me a beautiful song.
