Things beginner guitarists say
By Jared Dines

“Learning guitar? WAIT! Don’t touch that skip button, This is going to change EVERYTHING”

[brandonfranklin]

You forgot to complain endlessly about barre chords.
F in particular.

[nikopikotheswegking]

"i've always wanted to play guitar, but the beginning just seemed so slow and frustrating"

[cosmicgames]

Ultimate guitar is mentioned
Me: is this a personal attack or something

[Casey_S]

I only learned guitar to get chicks, but all it got me was other dudes that play guitar.

[emipexu]

watching this as a beginner and feeling stupid

[MaelstromTheDemon]

"My pinky isn't strong enough to fret with."

[darcfaseo]

“Wanna hear some of our riffs?”

*starts to play ‘Come As You Are’ by Nirvana*

[carecrow]

"I like drop d a lot, it's so much easier to play the chords." That one cut deep XD

[xapachi]

There are humble beginners who genuinely want to learn, and there are...ppl like this guy..

[mr.lonewanderer]

Dammit, my pick fell in my guitar again.

[connormorris]

“I know how to play 50 songs with these 4 cords!” *plays G D Em C progression*

[ToxicxEternity]

The character he's playing is actually way cooler than some of the beginner guitarists I've encountered. Atleast he has a positive non-elitist outlook on it haha.

[neoven]

The biggest beginner move here is setting a rockstar on top of your amp head

[chloedessent]

“I get all my tabs from Ultimate Guitar” THAT WAS SUCH AN ATTACK

[charlieshaw]

When I was a beginner I thought that I was good coz I could do natural harmonics. And I just used to go up to better guitarists and be like "u think ur so good but can u do harmonics?" And they'd be like "pinch harmonics? Natural harmonics? Tapped harmonics? What?" And I'd respond with "the ones at the 7th and 12th fret." And they'd cone back with "they're called natural harmonics and you can play them at any fret. They're just louder at the 4th 5th 7th 9th and 12th frets." I used to think I could just make up chords and pentatonic scales and genuinely believed I was good at guitar.

I don’t know sheet music, scales, notes. Ive been playing for four years,

I still rely on ultimate guitar. And I don’t really know what a tube amp is.


I am a beginner with an intermediate’s fingers

[rayzette]

Me back then:
*power chord everything*
"holy shit im a pro guitarist now"

[michaelm.]

You forgot:
"Goddammit."
*flips acoustic upside down*
*person nearby looks at you funny*
"I dropped my pick in my guitar again."

[ogbee]

I still don't care about sheet music and I've been playing for 5 years...
