So much truth in this lesson. So many TH-cam teachers tell you what you want to hear. Griff tells you what you need to hear, even if you may not like it at first - like keeping time all the time. Thanks Griff.

Great content. And as a subscriber to several guitar channels, I feel qualified to say pretty unique content as well, which is a real rarity.

Thanks Griff. Looking forward to seeing you and the band at the Guitar Sancutary Friday evening!

Dang another mention of rhythm and maybe just maybe I am beginning to hear it. I suspect it is critical despite my resistance.

I like to tell beginning musicians: don't play notes. Say something.

[@jonkerr2050]

Thank you for this video. You assured me that I’m actually a bit more advanced than I thought (I’d say advanced beginner by your description) and that some of the techniques I’ve been working on are appropriate for where I am. But you were able connect a few dots for me that I think will really help me progress. Thank you!

This video is heaven sent

[@bruceall2001]

Everything you say in this is the truth. But it's work and dedication.

If it were easy there would be no such thing as rock stars :)

Fantastic vid Griff, thankyou!
Ive been a bit slack lately on the guitar so i needed this

[@michaelbobson9198]

Brilliantly presented..
Instead of “Play to think differently” you are teaching players to “Think to play differently”
Exactly what the transitioning player (all levels) needs.
Honestly, never saw a lesson like this one before and I’m excited for your next videos. Well done!
Thank you

15:03 Almost no guitar players can read sheet music. It does not make much sense, there is no middle C on a guitar. The guitar has multiple unison notes of any note, making sheet music less effective.

Very happy I found your site and became an All Access member. Your lessons and presentations are incredibly helpful. Thanks!

[@debbiewalsh2357]

A very wise and true video! I just found myself start to notice these things as an advanced beginner! You just clarified and verified these for me. Love your videos!

Great video , thank you . I learned a lot, but I’m only a beginner . Just starting out lol… but I want to learn more and more…

[@scottjones6624]

Great video and great reorienting comments even for an intermediate guitarist that has forgotten some of these distinctions.
