    My favorite part about this channel is that you're absolutely hammering in on the fact that this shit is hard, and if you want to be good at guitar, you have to earn it.
  • @IamBoge
    If I'm gonna be honest when I first started playing guitar I didn't wanna watch your videos because you liked yelling but now I that I've been playing I understand why and I can see you are the best teacher on YouTube because you have the most in depth knowledge of music itself, thank you for posting guitar master
  • @Guitarfactor
    Best guitar teacher out there right now. It always irritated me how guitar players today are so coddled. You’re on the internet how are you scared of learning? I love how you’re harsh on people cause that’s sometimes what people need. Your tactics and info has helped me a lot in my guitar journey 😁

    Bro, this is actually a useful video. I've been playing a classical guitar for 4 years now and tomorrow, I will get my very first electric, so this is just what i needed. Thank you
  • He is so right. I have played guitar on and off since I was 16 but now that U am 61, I want to kearn guitar correctly now because I want to pkay for the rest of my life no matter how long I have.
  • @annshularora701
    The motivation I needed to pick up the guitar and start playing it properly again. I've been I'm stuck in guitar for more than year and have no idea how escape that. This video will help a lot!!
  • You have changed my guitar playing routines and exercises! You rock man !!
  • One thing I found that really helped me thst makes things SOO much easier is just learning your music theory, so what if the Beatles didn’t know it, you aren’t the Beatles!
  • When you said the part about scales at the beginning, I mentally just went, "That it?" Cause when the "get rich quick" schemes of guitar YouTube talk about this stuff, they always act like it's so impossible unless you use their genius method. But this is pretty direct. Learn all the notes on the fretboard and the scale shapes and you can play them and improvise using them. It's fool proof. I mean, if we can figure out squares and triangles, these shapes can't be that much harder.

    And then proceeds to make a video called "This Hack Lets You Solo Over ANY SONG", two days later

    I'm about to reach my 2 year mark of playing and I already got the major/minor scale fully memorized and just need to get better memorization of the G and B string. Finding your videos about a year ago helped a lot on the best way to learn certain things. The random note generator for learning the fretboard is a literal godsend.
  • @govindoburdwan
    One thing i want to add is playing single string scale. It helped me a lot.
  • You swore less than you usual in this video. I honestly appreciate it 🙏🏻 your music advice is always super useful!
  • @NeidorHyouka
    Thank you Brandon for doing all the awesome Guitar videos I really appreciate it and i always try to implement your tips in my training to become the best Guitar player of all time
  • @Phil_Vach
    I've been playing guitar for a little more than 2 years by now and I'm realizing I've been doing exactly what is shown here from the start. It is reassuring to know that my practice had some meaning from the start. I went into theory from day one because I really wanted to understand music, not just play for fun. By the way, I love your content Brandon, I enjoy your shit together vibe plus your absurd humor is hilariously. 1 000 000 subs on its way my man!
