“Mindless wankery!” Always hilarious hearing British profanity in non-British accents. 😂 Thanks for the tips Paul. This video made me realised I don’t make too many rookie mistakes. ❤

My first guitar teacher had me stop and start over at every mistake. Not only did it make it hard for me to ever finish a song - if I tried, I would nevertheless pause briefly at the mistake - years later, it's still a problem for me. I now realize it also made it harder for me to keep time ... because that was never part of the training. it was only about accuracy over everything else.
Made it very hard for me to get better, much less play along with anyone else.

My best tip is consistency is better than a lot of sporadic hours. It’s better to practice 1-2 hours everyday as opposed to practicing 10 hours every 2-3 days. Trust me, you’ll see a big difference being consistent even if it’s for a short amount of time each day. You’ll organically increase your hours.

If your guitar is intonated and setup where is the action is low... Regardless of string gauge there shouldn't be pain

I want access to all of your instructional courses. On your website it seems I am only able to purchase them individually. Do you offer a package deal and or a military / veteran discount?
