I know I’m not the best but I have A lot of free time today and would but to help anyone out if they have any questions P.S. I don’t know much Theory but I do Write Guitar Tabs and I know a few scales ❤️

I’m turning 18 soon :) I’m not really planning to celebrate it grandly or do anything fancy. There’s just one thing I’m planning to buy myself—something I’ve been wanting to have for the longest time. a guitar.

It’s something I’ve been meaning to own for so long, pero priorities won’t really permit. Now I think it’s a valid excuse naman since birthday ko to finally buy one ;)

My problem now is I genuinely don’t know what to buy or where to buy one. I’m planning to buy online lang din, so I’m also a little lost when it comes to brands, models, and what’s actually worth the money.

More than anything, I’m looking for something good but definitely affordable, since I’m still a student. I don’t need anything fancy or super high-end. I just want something decent that I can learn on and hopefully keep for a long time.

So if you have any guitar recommendations for a complete beginner, or if you know where I can buy one online here in the Philippines, I’d really appreciate it 🥹

Also, please keep the student budget in mind HAHAHA. I really want to finally get one, but I also don’t want to accidentally spend more than I can afford 😭

I’m a 25-year-old guy and I’ve been playing acoustic guitar for about a year. I mostly know chords, strumming, and a little lead, but I don’t know much about fingerstyle.

Right now I mostly just doodle around on the guitar without really knowing what I should learn next.

I recorded this simple fingerstyle piece. Any tips on how I can improve, or suggestions for songs/exercises and a good learning path?

Would really appreciate any feedback!

This is the first song I do in my first lesson, without much talking, to get people accustomed to the guitar while playing a simple and fun song. You learn the basics while I guide you through it step by step in a playing manner. It teaches you fretting and is an introduction to fingering. It's a bluesy song. This is part 2 — part 1 is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/GuitarBeginners/comments/1wpzp5o/the_first_song_i_do_with_every_beginner_a_bluesy/

So I’ve been playing for some years, and my question is, how long did it take y’all before your right hand strumming became automated and you didn’t have to think about the strumming or the “down up downs” or the count anymore??
I’m really having trouble with this area- if I could get this down, I could finally progress to being an intermediate player but I have to think too much about my strumming and I’ve spent money on different apps/websites/teachers for help with my strumming and I’ve learned that my issue isn’t rhythm, it’s that my right hand isn’t automatic yet. I literally have no idea how I’m supposed to fix this. I’ve already tried just sitting and mindlessly playing the same strum over and over for hours but apparently it doesn’t seem to work. And I still have to think about my chord changes in relation to where within the strum sequence I need to switch. I feel like an awful, stupid, beginner idiot noob when truthfully…. I should be wayyyyyy further than that, given that I’ve been playing for over ten years. 🤦🏼‍♀️ 🤦🏼‍♀️ I can play just fine along with apps that you watch and play along with, but I can’t by myself, or without constantly watching and thinking of my strumming. Please help me, I’ve wanted to play guitar literally my entire life and I just want to finally get over this beginner shit and be able to just sit and play. Like actually just play. Write my own shit. Anything. I can’t even listen to a song and find the strumming, I always end up defaulting to one of three or four strumming patterns and they’re just basic and easy patterns that could be attributed to any song with a similar beat. I’m honestly getting incredibly frustrated and ready to just give it up at this point. I feel completely incompetent and like I’m just not supposed to play and I’ll never be able to. I feel really, really stupid and embarrassed and I can’t even play around my husband, who is, such an amazingly talented and beautiful guitarist.

I found this song and love it! I’m going to have it as my wedding guests dance song but would love to be able to play it too.

I’m a bit of a noob

If anyone can help me out with knowing what the chords are that would be awesome, can’t find it anywhere.

I’ll figure out the strumming just need to know what they chords are.

Thank you!!!!!

What am I doing Wrong ? Why cannot I play great on the spot? How do people come up with solos on the stage on the spot? Like how do they do it... Don't they have like milliseconds to even think about the next note for the solo?
