First Year Playing the Electric Guitar – Month by Month Progress (VIDEO)
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!
