I dug in and taught myself this stuff in 2012, I was borderline suicidal, had 2 ropes in a bag, swear to God, and I heard "Pick up that guitar and learn and play", I had a strat copy at the time but wasn't even playing at all for several years up to that point. So I focused on one key and got all the scale positions of that key down, I got the shapes so embedded in me that I could move it all to any key. The decision to do it was the struggle the whole way, every day, I would argue with myself outloud, until I got it , the light came on, and for the sake of maybe 6 months, so glad I did.
Clayton , thanks a lot for the lesson and the licks . I wish that you'll live longer . You're still a great guitar player with that beauty in your hands . Bless you .
I am a 16 year old guitarist watching this flawless use of music theory with powerful, soul filled playing with such a nice tone. I just randomly stumbled across your videos and love to sit and listen to the wise, intelligent and helpful words you have to say. I wish to be like you when I'm older. much love
awesome, that's my whole reason for doing this, and I purposely do it in a semi-sloppy way because I'm not out to try and "impress" anybody......lol. Rock on bro......
We never stop learning. Thanks Clayton for a bit more inspiration.
my pleasure to share
This guy makes our generation look like beginners
