      Set aside 3 hours per/day. Think about how good you will be in a year from now! 3 hours is a lot, but that’s over 1,000 hours of practice. That and the 1.5 years you already have will make you pretty capable. Good luck🎸

    I've been playing daily since about Christmas and this lesson came up just at the right time. I spent about an hour pickin through all 10 lick in the lesson. I'm really good at the minor pentatonic but i don't have any mojo, just a scale. I got all these licks played fairly easily except #10 but I'll get it. I'm planning on going over this video daily until I get all these licks down pretty good. Thanks!

    10:38 Ah, I see why this works. The G triad is the upper three notes of an Em7. So when you bend up a 1/4 tone, you get neutral third (bluesy), neutral seventh (very bluesy), and slightly augmented fifth (filthy).

    Thanks for the video, beginner here looking for "tips and tricks" if you will to pick up moving around the neck faster.
    One thing I've noticed while watching TH-cam videos of guitarists is whenever they are talking about the strings to play, the fret board is always talked about in the inverse of what is actually being watched. What I mean by that is at the beginning of this video in Lick #1, he is saying to play the "top two strings", but as I am looking directly at the screen, those are the bottom strings being played.
    Now, if you go to Lick #3, when he is talking about pull-offs and hammer-ons, at about 7:45, he says he is picking the string like he is "flicking his fingernail towards the ground". So, if the top of the fret board is really on the bottom, then how are you flicking towards the ground, which would be the bottom?

    • @PlayGuitarAcademy
      @PlayGuitarAcademy  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You are welcome! I don't remember what I said in the video. But, when describing what string to use and direction, I go by how it sounds (higher towards the high sounding strings and frets and lower towards the low sounding strings and frets). I've had many left handed students and some flip a right handed guitar and some play left handed ones. So, going by how it sounds makes it standard for everyone.

      No so bro start out with two chords and a little lick blended together play 5 minutes a day build finger strength. When you start to get smooth add more. And doing it in bed before you go to sleep soon you will getting it. If this is to advanced learn some major chords then add a bar chord then add some.
      Search two or three chord songs you like play you're guts out but have fun do it 5 minutes a day soon you can do it with your eyes closed.
