One more thing, a dive into 9ths 11ths and 13s would be super helpful to me

Great advice Jeff from a beginner to advanced shredder ! Thank you, & Keep a Rockin.

[rskirk]

Love this. Definitely great advice.

One of the biggest things that really helped me advance my playing was playing with a backing track, ultimately with no tablature and no matching guitar track. This is the ultimate end goal when you play live in a band. You have to play in rhythm, know the music by heart and play it correctly, and be able to improvise to the track. Your courses on TrueFire really helped me with that.

Hey Jeff! This list was wonderful honselty. Especially the last part talking about practice things and making it musical. It's the main reason we learn, to make music. To be able to communicate with other artists and hopefully have our own voice. And practicing scales and arpeggios up and down just make you sound like...your practicing, like it's an exercise. Music is not an exercise. It's meant to bring joy and express yourself in many many ways. Beautiful stuff Jeff.

Even though I'm not much of a guitar player, one of the best things I did when getting back into it a few years ago was struggling through the changes of a handful of jazz standards, including Autumn Leaves. Learning those basic 7th chord voicings (5th and 6th string root) has been so helpful to me for learning the notes on the fretboard, and understanding the intervals that make up those chords.

Hi Jeff,
Great video, thank you. Gives a sort of road map for learning which we all appreciate. Could you do a video on how to go about learning songs? Maybe a course on it incl some open mic night staples to work on?

[srinip]

Thanks for a great video! For a guy pushing 70 (me!), I'm trying to work less and enjoy playing more, but for some reason, your presentation does make all this exploration a lot of fun.

As an adjunct to your point #10, one thing I find to be helpful - as well as truly frustrating - is to sit back and listen to a line (or a set of chord changes) in your head, then try to reproduce it on the guitar. I find this to be a particularly difficult thing to do.

I just subscribed.😁

[stratman]

cheers go with you on those TWO 1st...and then keep the "inspiration" up and work your butt off to get to the next level....sort of "out of ones comofort and thx....enjoy your weekend....and next some time i'll watch your pink floyd upload from recently....

[davidwood]

Great teaching. I learned that I’m not really an intermediate player after all, I have work to do.

[dsteele]

To your point of learning the note names forwards AND backwards, it messed me up going back until i realized the word BAGFED C was the reverse order. It helped me to always know where I was going up and down.

[twanto]

really upping your video editing game here Jeff ;)

[victorbeebe]

Aloha Sensei Jeff! A day late is better than no show in this case. Mahalo Nui Loa. I need to find the time to really put your teachings to practice. Thanks again

[shanewitty]

Great advice, really honest . It all takes time and investment in the instrument.

[lastofthehorsemen]
