You are a good guitar teacher. The first one totally XD

I think that this is a brilliant video. Many thanks. Those of you who are starting - take heed!

As a self-taught musician who has taken various lessons over the years (both in Western rock and Hindustani Classical Music for sitar), I echo the idea of getting a good teacher. I recently took 3 skype lessons (each with different teachers I had found on youtube), and found two of them to be very helpful.

I would encourage people to 'audition' teachers in this way. Go with the one who is most beneficial for you. And be very clear on the arrangement. My schedule could not accommodate regular lessons, but one thing that each of those teachers emphasized was having a practice routine and sticking to it. By the way, I took an in-person lesson with a major Youtube teacher, and found it to be useless. I did not end up even playing guitar, and then we started talking about non-guitar things (I still have the recording of that lesson). He simply repeated what he had said to me in emails. Ridiculous. Love his website, but would never take suggest anyone take any in-person lesson again.

However, you can learn a lot by yourself. Find out what works for you, and be disciplined with yourself.

Good luck.

Hi there Chad so in your opinion what is considered for you a good teacher and not one that is only for ripping of the student, because views defer .thank you anyway for the free video

[siyaram]

I was making all mistakes.
My influence is also John Mayer.

Hi Chad, I am a decent keyboard player and I can play many songs just by listening. Now i want to learn guitar. Do I have enough headstart to learn guitar myself by watching videos just like those which you have posted on your channel? What do you think is the reasonable time I will learn guitar? Do you have any other tips than given in this video? Thanks
