I Speedran Electric Guitar In 7 Days

As someone who's played guitar for three years (still a mere amateur though), this is truly impressive. To be able to play that song decently with only 7 days of experience is cool. It's also cool that you're self-taught and not going through actual lessons! Keep it up!

doing stupid things and not caring about what other people say is fun

11:15 HOLY SHIT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. i've been trying to mention to people who started guitar and drop it immediately because it was "too hard", that absolutely NOTHING isn't hard at first. walking was hard. learning to read was hard. learning math was hard. hell, everything that takes SKILL is hard to learn at first. i think thats the beauty in it, honestly. i'm an intermediate guitarist, but when i finally get that song or solo right, it just. makes my day. the overwhelming sense of euphoria is just. awesome. so when i see advanced players nail a very complicated solo, i can only imagine the amount of time and effort they put into that, and that makes it sound even better, in my opinion. and when i see beginners, like you, put their all into a skill? it's beautiful.

As a guitarist I never thought I could watch a beginner struggle and not look down on them. This was wholesome and cool as heck.

i'm a self-taught guitarist, i've been playing the guitar for a couple years now and all i can say is you sound awesome dude!! ofc your guitar not being in tune made me hurt inside, however considering the amount of time you gave yourself it sounds good! keep practicing and in another 7 days you'll be a pro.

nah cuz why is richie like one of the funniest but most inspirational youtubers to me tysm richie ive been needing to write an application essay for months atp and its due rlly soon i was just about to give up so i came on youtube and then i saw that u posted i got so happy and now after watching i think im gonna get back to work on my essays and actually finish them. if i get in i srsly owe it all to u so thank u for posting stuff like this and ilysm

new way to be fine: the electric guitar???

As someone who just started guitar, I'm glad I found someone who understands how much this hurts. Mentally and physically, it has made me cry when I first tried doing it because I kept failing. Also, I love the music and love this.

As a guitarist myself I am impressed you did wayy better than me in my first days Song Recommendation: also Id give a song recommendation "Smells like teen spirit" by nirvana and a guitarist would be like yeah that's easy but to be honest beginners think that's hard Picking: I recommend putting your pinky and ring finger on the pickguard of the guitar it would really help with plucking the right strings and not mess up by plucking other strings but when you strum just close your fingers and use your thumb and pointer finger to hold the pick and its better to move your wrists than your whole arm while strumming Chords: Just press hard like your life matters on it after a few months u will grow hard skin and that would help alot and I think you're good I mean there's nothing else to improve (other than guitar theory and techniques like pinch harmonic and other stuff) although I might be young (11 yo) you can learn electric guitar like me like If I (a kid) is an Intermediate then you can learn guitar fully, I've played guitar for 2 years and this is amazing! All the best to learning guitar! (that took 10 mins to think abt what I should write here and write it lmfao)

I got a guitar yesterday, and it feels nice to see someone else experience some of the stuff I’m experiencing right now. I’ve been drawing consistently for a few years, so I know that feeling of failure. It’ll be weird to feel it again, but I know it doesn’t last forever. Hope you continue to learn👍

As a beginner guitar player, this is so inspiring Thank you

As someone who’s someone decent now after 3 years of putting full effort into it, I can say the best advice I always tell people IS TO JUST PLAY EVERYDAY, also make sure to record yourself at least audibly it will help you realize how much progress you’ve made overtime, and of course play the music you want to play that way you can be inspired to play more often, as long as you have the time and dedication to consistently and constantly play you WILL improve slowly but surely, a year goes by super fast you’ll improve very quickly if you keep this up

as someone who’s never touched a guitar in my life, this was really impressive! i’d love to see your progress so keep it up bro

i used to play guitar before switching over to bass but you got a hell of a lot farther than i ever did in my first week. learning instruments are really challenging but the effort always pays off, hope you continue to play guitar!!

honestly, I have been playing violin for 7 years, and learning an instrument is so hard, especially at the beginning. Like I remember being so frustrated and comparing myself, but I kept up with it and now I play in orchestras. In violin, you also have to vibrato, and that stuff took me 3 months to figure out. So the fact that you made actual progress in vibrato after only a week is literally insane. So keep up with learning guitar richie! U r doing great, and one day u r gonna look back and realize the practice was worth it!!!

You know… my parents bought me a classical guitar a few years ago because I told them that I wanted to try it out and it’s just been sitting in my room because I never knew where or how to start or if I should even do it. Now, seeing you be able to pull of something like that only in a 7 day period was really inspiring to me. And hey, I’m only 18. I’ve been told so many times that this is still the time in my life to do whatever I want to do. Maybe this will be the time that I’ll officially give it a try. I may look dumb doing it and may not even end up liking it, but I’ll never know until I actually try. Thanks for this video, Richie. Keep doing great things. 💖💖💕💕💕

believe it or not, I've had a guitar since I was 5 years old, and It took me till I was 17 and actually took guitar seriously and got my first guitar tutor to learn that the metal on the guitar neck was used to make sound. (Don't ask me why). 3 years later, I finally got back into it and took it more seriously, and now I'm in a prog metal band after 3 MORE years of many failures and putting it down multiple times, I finally did it. It took me long enough, but it is what it is. Keep going, people go at their pace.

sounds great !! keep playing what makes you happy ^^ it was cool to see the frets below 12 being used !!

as a guitarist this is accually pretty good for 7 days you could get pretty good one day if you play more, youll get more used to switching the chords and stuff and your fingers will accually hurt alot less as you play more. i recommend putting amp effects on your guitar like disortion or something, itll make it sound alot better.

I hope this guy continues to play, he got so much potential 🗣️
