Hey guys! Brad Litton from SimpleGuitar.com here with another guitar lesson for beginners. This one will help you out even if you've been playing guitar for awhile, too! Today I'm going to show you a simple guitar trick that will make learning anything you do on guitar easier & faster. You'll have better recall & deeper learning, too! I got today's guitar tip from the book Make It Stick, which everyone should read, it's a great book about learning & everything in it can be applied to learning guitar.
One of the main concepts in the book is the effect of having to recall information leads to much deeper learning than solely repetition. When it comes to learning guitar, one of the best things you can do to have to recall things is to immediately get creative with whatever you're learning. Whether it's a new scale, a new chord, a new lick, whatever it is, get it under your fingers & then get creative with it right away. This will help you learn guitar better way, way, way faster.

Hey guys! Brad Litton from SimpleGuitar.com here with another guitar lesson for beginners. Today I'm going to show you one of my favorite easy guitar songs for beginners that's also a great alternative rock song...Warning by Green Day. Which is from the album of the same name, which I think is their most underrated album, but that's another story :) Warning is a great beginner guitar song because the whole song is only three chords (A D G) & is only made up of one chord progression (A D G D) plus a little riff that gets used for an interlude & the bridge. It's super easy & you'll be able to get this down in no time! The part I'm going over in this video is the acoustic guitar part from the recording, but you can easily play this on an electric guitar if you prefer.
