Realest take I've seen on coaching. Applies to all facets of life. Well said brother.

I've finally discovered after 5 years of frustration I am going to be a pretty decent classical guitar player, I started from stone cold at 55 years old. My teacher is a guitar God.

What a time to be a guitar player. Ive learned more in the past few year because of youtube videos than I did in the past 2 decades of playing. Great advice Mr Sorenzo. Subscribed.

Practice and dont give up. I quit guitar a long time ago. Im back at it and this guy speaks the Truth. Im focused and practice a lot more now. Youtube has changed the game

You just saved me a lot of money.

I'm 30 and about to purchase my first electric guitar. I have been wanting to learn my entire life and finally decided it was time.
I've been looking at different classes and tutors online and pretty much ready to buy into whatever clicked first. I'm really glad I clicked on this video instead!

Thank you Mr Sorenzo, Keep up the good work.

LOVE the brutal honesty <3 I always tell my students this! Patience and repetition will be the only effective method ^^ the student's mindset is what makes the students success. The teacher just points them in the appropriate direction.

Repetition and speed up your metronome is the key. I started to learn guitar by myself last year, but I was stuck until 2 months ago I wasnt able to change between really easy chords untiI someone gave me those 2 tips I really started to develop the hability.

Yep! One of my former drum student's parents asked me when I was helping their 14 year old son get ready for drumline camp if he would be snareline ready in 3 months. When I answered, "that depends entirely on how much time he puts in outside of our weekly 30 minute sessions, " they looked at me like I just punched their dog lol.

Right now I am sitting down with my electric guitar that I bought 10 years ago and never really followed up with my learning path because of misconception and wanting to play everything at once. You helped me immensely with this video. THANK YOU!

[SirRenee]

This is a fantastic video! Loved it! The only thing I wanna nitpick on is the fact that you told us to turn off the distortion. If you wanna practice a distorted lick, you should practice it with distortion. Distortion amplifies every little mistake you make and almost forces you to work on your technique until you can play it cleanly. If you just practice with a clean sound, you'll likely sound a little more sloppy than you want when distortion is turned back on

This valuable lesson applies to a lot more in life than just guitar playing. But it was well worth stating here. Cheers.

I had a chance to become a student of Joe Satriani in Berkeley, across the Bay Area from my hometown San Francisco 🌉. But, I had piano 🎹 lessons in those years 😢. I did learn the piano 🎹 well. 😃

I cut ✂️ down on lessons on piano 🎹, other instruments in order to focus on singing 🎶. I am much better 😌 at singing.

I will head back to guitar 🎸 and other instruments later. Consistent practice and performance 🎭 are keys 🔑 to performing well. 😎

Thank you for the great advice. I haven't heard this from too many other instructors. I agree with you, and it's how I have been approaching my practice. It seems to be working. Another good piece of advice I follow from another good instructor is to learn songs. By learning songs, you'll also be learning theory and techniques.

Thanks for posting this :) this is inspiring me to tackle the goals seem impossible right now like sweep picking and I'm going to learn it asap!

[jordantaylor]

This is true in all areas of education. Students are responsible for the vast majority of their own success or lack there of.

[juliuscaesar]

a 100 percent right
I remember seeing a documentary or something on Jimi hendrix and while they're talking to him Hendrix was preparing a breakfast and the guitar hanging on his back playing riffs every time he had a break, many talented players didn't become worldwide known because they didn't have the dedication to sit and repeat over and over
Thanks bro for the video its really inspiring
