I guess that's why I'm addicted to this particular channel and its contents: sheer wisdom shared, zero bullshit and a bit of fun. Oh and I need that massage machine by the way :-)
Telling yourself that you don't have the time (90+20 minutes or 'any schedule on a daily basis') is pointing out the lack of priority, I think this is the biggest reason why so many people don't develop much. We won't wake up one day and suddenly are at the point of skills that we always dreamed of...
Great video! There were some great points made here. I do need to try and devote more time to practicing for sure. I'm always looking for areas where I find I can't pull off something I want to do, so I'm able to break practice up into smaller chunks. Less effective than a 1-2 hour chunk of time but I do still see improvement.
My biggest issue is what a friend calls "stability" or having the finger independence to keep my pinky in close to the fretboard when I'm playing legato. Makes the finger inaccurate when finger accuracy is very, very, important for legato playing.
@@samlong9354 I would make a wager that you are misdiagnosing the problem and that you haven’t figured out how to use the weight of your palm to transfer the pressure from finger to finger when playing legato and that that’s the hang up
I am able to very comfortable and quite musically improvise in simple pop progressions like 1-6-4-5 in keys like C D A F, but I'm losing my mind when I switch to keys like C# F# G# A#. I feel like I never played guitar before, half of the notes are just farts in the sky. It is weird, I don't know why it's so hard for me to do all that half step transitions for schemes what I played a thousand times already. I wanna play like Greg Howe, but I understand that I can't play like Greg Howe, and I need to target something what he does, but on lover difficulty levels. And it's not always obvious and clear.
My big thing that I'm working on is percussive acoustic playing. I know what sound I want, I know what I want to write, but I currently lack the sense of timing I need to pull it off. I have no formal education and am entirely self taught. Anyone have some advice?
@@chriszec4588 if you can’t play in time getting the percussive wound you want look at someone who gets the sound and examined their motion mechanics. Particularly the right hand and compare it to yours by recording yourself on video and going back and forth between the vids. You’ll learn a lot
Really, really cool and useful -unlike most of the other takes on the subject! Biggest issue? Possibly too much RU-vid without an actual guitar in my hands 🫣
