Steve is a very gifted teacher. He could have taught anything. I'm sure glad he chose guitar.

[kevinwhite]

I've been wanting to play a guitar for 40 years, my guitar Journey started for 14 months ago, and thanks to Steve I'm on a path to success loving every minute of it

[davidschmidt]

He has hit on all of my issues. He has given me a better path to practicing and learning

[MovieMaker]

This makes such sense. I've been practising the pentatonics, also learning to use pick and trying to memorise some of the notes on the fretboard. I've certainly got further than I did the first time around years ago, which is very satisfying, but this past week I've really not wanted to pick up the guitar - I think the word is bored! I talked with my partner and said I think I need to find a local tutor and start taking lessons. Supportive as ever, she said "fine, but what you also need to start doing is playing songs again instead of just practising all the time." So today, I took her advice and I've really enjoyed it, relaxed and had fun! Of course it's important to progress and to have goals, but it's equally important to have fun and remember why you took up this amazing instrument in the first place.☺

I’m 51 and just started a month ago because my teenage son wanted a guitar for Christmas. Now we have 2 😂, and are learning together. I only wish I had started this much sooner. He had a head start with taking guitar in school. I love it. I actually feel like I’m at an advantage over my son. He’s young and lacks academic discipline. He focuses on learning songs, and I am more interested in music theory. We have completely different approaches to get the same result. Should be interesting 😂

You just described me in high school. I was “ all project and no ego” songs. That got me frustrated. I quit playing for about 15 years. Picked it back up about 5 years ago and play mostly ego songs and am having a blast now!
This video is solid advice. 95% ego songs 5% project songs.

[benaiahwright]

I can vouch for this. I've been practicing guitar for about 20 years and never got very good. I used to wonder why people that played half as long as me sounded so much better than me until it finally dawned on me that they new SONGS and I only new a bunch of theory and technique. I'm convinced that if you don't learn the songs you like you'll never become proficient on guitar.

hey steve ... you explained that very well and it makes perfect sense. I have been playing for one year now and i am 61 years young. in the past month or so i have been basically doing what you are talking about . putting your practise into a structured and functional format.And it is making a noticeable difference. it also helps that i have been learning from you for 3 or 4 months now. thanks.

[matthewlysne]

You are seriously one of the best teachers I have ever watched or listened too, and that includes all the way through graduate school. Thank you for these videos, they have really been great for my relatively late start to learning guitar.

[BikingVikingMTB]

Hi Steve
Im 43 n playing acoustic/electric for 13months.

Love this vid and yes your right we all should learn songs more. Ive been doing just that for the last thirteen months & now Im starting with the electric playing lead n getting rather confused as its new to me! Ive now learned the pentatonic scale with the blues too and when I have lessons i love the theory side too. I can play all barre cords not perfect but more practise is needed but I can incorporate them into songs.! My learning journey is amazing and thanks to you n your courses online. You are amazing Steve thank you so much 🎸🎸

[chrisgayle]

This was just the lesson I needed. Like other commenters here, I've been stuck doing theory too much recently and have neglected building up a catalogue of sons I can play.

[fastfred]

Doodler for forty years! Retired a few months ago at 62! Got myself a MIM player series strat and a Boss Katana II. A good practice regimen is what I need. Learning The Rover right now. Just about have it down up to the solo! Having fun with all of it! Love theory. Love the practice. I was so worried about being bored in retirement. My guitar will be my friend right by my side until the end! I hope I’m a good friend back to my guitar!

[pinanay]

I've been watching many of your tutorials and you're now officially my favorite guitar teacher on YouTube. I'm learning so much from your videos. Thank you sooo much!

[hoosierdaddy]

Good video. I'm 59, and I learned by listening and playing songs. At first one note at a time learning the melody, how to tune, etc. Finally I would learn whole albums. I still don't know scales and theory per say, and I wish I had, but this is great advise. Many people learn scales and speed playing, but can't play well enough to make me want to listen because they can't write good songs as well. Great stuff!!!!

[ewertoncosta]

Man...i Just found your YouTube Channel today sept/05... I'm from Brazil, i'm with covid19..i was Very lazy...buy when i found It..i Just start to play again...God Bless your life and keep teaching, you're amazing teacher and inspire us to study...thanks Bro.

[quikdon]

I can tell this guy has a lot of wisdom, there are some great lessons here. Cheers, happy guitaring

[victorcurtis]

I have heard all this before however I think the way you put it has finally inspired me to actually start dividing up my practice time and strengthening myself to n all four areas. Thank you. P.S. love the Ego and Project song terminology. I now see that the first song I am now learning is a project song I’ve been working on for 6 weeks. I’m going to now find some ego songs that I can get under my belt far more easily and I think that will boost my confidence.

I am the guitar player that everyone uses as an example. I played guitar since I was 15 (circa 1965; you do the math). And I learned everything by ear or by getting sheet music to Beatles songs and singing the songs for friends at parties or whatever. But I never learned theory. I learned some basic bits and pieces but my theory knowledge was like swiss cheese with lots of wholes. Now I'm retired and playing all the time. So I decided to go back to school (figuratively speaking). I've watched some of your basic guitar theory vids and learned a lot but there was something you said in this video that really hit home. You said part of what we all did when we first picked up guitar was we tried to "learn" a song. And when we learned our first song we felt a sense of accomplishment that inspired us to keep going. You said there are two things ego songs and practice songs. I found i was focusing in so much on technique that I had forgotten the simple enjoyment that comes from picking up the guitar and just playing and singing a favorite song. I went back and got the sheet music for Autumn Leaves, recorded the backing chords on a looper and then practiced playing the simple melody over the changes till I got it down perfect with the metronome. And in doing that i achieved two things. I worked on my technique by sight reading the melody from the sheet music and learned a complete song that is now in my head. Thanks for this great video it helped me a lot to get focused in my practice and rediscover what I enjoyed so much when I first started playing.

[JacobNNorton]

Of all the guitar instructional videos I’ve watched this one has helped me the most!

[markmoreno]

I've been playing guitar 26 yrs and i still go back and reteach myself on some things man. You're about the only one i watch on here when it comes to teaching and advice. Im trying to get my lessons channel started myself and i come to watch you and how you deliver the teachings really encourages me. You have a hreat way of explaining things. Its funny cause all the years I've been playing, im still learning some way or another. Thanks bro!
