First Year Playing the Electric Guitar – Month by Month Progress

Uploaded by Joshua Turner on January 13, 2019 at 9:06 am

I started playing the electric guitar about one year ago today when I was 22. Over the past year I’ve been recording many clips of things I’ve been learning and I thought it would be cool to share my progress for other people getting started. Most of these videos I never expected to share, so please excuse the sound and video quality :).

I’ve been entirely self taught learning through different resources online. I tried to play every day when I was around my guitar, but with work and other things there were some long periods where I wasn’t able to play. But for the most part I’ve been pretty consistent.

I will be uploading many more song covers in the future, so stick around if you’d like to see more!

What a coincidence. I started playing the guitar(an acoustic one) recently so this video is good to know how long it takes to play it better.
I'm practicing to play some codes now but I hope someone tells me nice ways for practicing, or some good songs for beginners to play.

Dude! You're learning so quickly. You're doing great, and you seem to have a natural talent as well. Lucky you, keep creating these videos so we can see your progress.
