    My favorite part of learning to play guitar is buying new guitars and gear 😁
  • @ivanguliashki
    Tip 5 is actually super important. When I started playing, not three months in, I actually managed to get some colleagues(who've been playing for upwards of 10 years) to form a band(one of them even gave private lessons at a music school as a part-time gig). I was the weakest link. My progress was stupidly quick. Then we finished our first five songs and had to discontinue 'cause med school is a bitch. Point is, playing with people who are better than you is probably the biggest hack ever IF you can click with each other. I've played with other musicians since, and it's not as fun due to differences in style, understanding, and even theory knowledge. I was super lucky to have those people in my life starting out.

    My teacher forced me to learn triads with roots on the DGB and I absolutely hated it but came out the other side with so much value. Good video.
  • @CoachMcKie
    I love tip 3. Had a fender acoustic and hated it. Traded it in for a Taylor GS mini and I can’t stop playing it.
  • @nomadexplorer6682
    Thanks for the motivation Kevin. You spelled out the right path to success with the guitar. You have hit it hard and hit it right....
  • @devilninja5922
    Thank u sir. I have been playing for 4 years there was a time when I didn't know what to learn no progress and confused then I found your videos. It's been a year and I have learn a lot❤
  • @Emrys345_Guitar
    So this speaks a lot of truth. I've been learning, hey Joe lately, and keep going over the part of the intro I'm good at, but not the slide into pull off sections.
  • @astewart9410
    I needed this, even after 30 years of playing. Especially that stare into my soul. :) Thank you!
  • @kelly2105
    Brutal, but based on learning things other than guitar using the same mindset and techniques... I know he's not wrong about this.
  • @ccopps69
    Recently started recording myself.. good advice, I try harder and play full songs this way. Fortunately or unfortunately it also highlighted my singing is actually worse than my guitar playing! 😢
  • @youngsuccess6330
    @kevinnickens u always read my mind man. I film everything and its funny it drives my drummer crazy hes been my best friend since we were kids and hes a much better drummer than i am a guitar player. And people tell us we sound good together but its great to tell ourselves no but what about that thing i couldve done better Over here, and he’ll be like yeah and i coulda done that drum fill better. And we stay on our toes, we can improvise and jam very well together i think thats HUGE. For musicians playing with others if u can find them.
