@bingusbingus786010 months agoFantastic video! Two points. first, i want to emphasize the last point on level 6. I think its really important that people pick a genre, pick a another thing: write and record songs. In fact, i think that at levels 4, 5, and 6 you should record, mix, and master an entire project, utilizing all of your acquired technique and theory to that point. Almost like a thesis or capstone. For reference, i would place myself firmly at the beginning of level six, still figuring out where i want to specialize. And i have two large recording projects completed. Its great to look back on, and its reassuring whenever i cringe at a musical choice, because this tells me that i have actually gotten better. But above all, i learned a ton making those albums, and i love them. Even if they are amateurish. ...Expand22

first, i want to emphasize the last point on level 6. I think its really important that people pick a genre, pick a another thing: write and record songs. In fact, i think that at levels 4, 5, and 6 you should record, mix, and master an entire project, utilizing all of your acquired technique and theory to that point. Almost like a thesis or capstone. For reference, i would place myself firmly at the beginning of level six, still figuring out where i want to specialize. And i have two large recording projects completed. Its great to look back on, and its reassuring whenever i cringe at a musical choice, because this tells me that i have actually gotten better. But above all, i learned a ton making those albums, and i love them. Even if they are amateurish. ...Expand 22

become better at one thing that most people can' t do. One skill that seperates you from the doing this. Enables you to create a system of learning. Guitar works amazing for this.
not only did ibut i also opened up doorways in my mind to endless possibilities and the urge to learn things i use to scoff at in the past coughmath cough
don' t give up. It' s easily said. But if you are passionate about playing guitar, you won' t think twice about this when the thought intrudes your mind!
start slow. Do not force anything. Allow it to become easier for yourself before you move on. ...Expand 1
