Lead Guitar Tactics

Posts Tagged ‘Playing Guitar’

Well, I am 51 years young today and playing a blues jam on guitar tonight. What a coincidence that I get my first paying gig in Colorado on my birthday. If you are in the Cherry Creek area around Denver the gig is tonight from 8-12. It’s at a place called the Q. Come on out and say hello.

I want to say a big THANK YOU to all of you for reading my lessons, watching the videos, being valued clients and generally keeping me on my toes. This might sound like a big cliche but it’s true, without you all this would not exist. I hope you all take the time to be thankful for something in your life today as well.

For the rest of this post I want to share a few thoughts with about playing guitar, practicing, etc…

First I want you to be aware of all the free lessons and stuff you have access too. You have this blog of course. I also have a kind of “secret blog” here…

If you have not checked it out there is about 45 minutes worth of video and a bunch of tab and some jam tracks. You should follow the blues and rock soloing lessons in order which means starting with the older posts first.

I also have the Pentatonic Scale report you can find on this blog and the following report that you might want to check out.

8 Steps

Finally, I have been thinking about the best piece of advice I could give to help us all learn to play the guitar better and here it is. Be as systematic as you can possibly be. It’s the fastest way to make and track progress. What do I mean when I say be systematic? Here are a few but not close to all the possibilities.

1. Be systematic about your practice time. If you set aside the same time to practice each and every day it will soon become a habit. Think of the progress you could make with daily practice time set aside.

2. Have an outcome in mind and design your practice to reach your outcome. Read the report 8 Steps above.

3. Have a routine. If you working on a new scale play it 25 times a day, etc…your routine should consist of a couple of things that you want to focus on and practice daily. Resist the urge to keep jumping around to bunch of new stuff. Stay focused.

4. Even though practice and routine stuff can be tedious and frustrating remember to have some fun. Put on a jam track and go for it.

To end this post the best gift I could get from you all today is a comment below letting me know what kind of lessons you want to see posted here in the future.

Best Wishes,

Bob
