    This school has given me so much from ever since I started playing for the very first time, I will give back in return :) Legend only in status but not skills 🤣

    Fatiha - absolute beginner, need advice on picking guitar

    hey there! I got the same exact package a couple of months ago! It’s just perfect for learning guitar ! I started off mainly only from the lessons on this site, they will teach you most of the things you need to know even how to hold a guitar! I hadn’t held anything other than drumsticks prior...

    CAGED System – The C Shape – Lesson 24

    I can’t tell ya how to start cause I’m still in that learning phase myself. Also luckily I already know the basis of the major scale from my drumming days and sitting through everyone else learning it lol But it is a really good start - the major scale and what you can derive from it. Really...

    CAGED System – The C Shape – Lesson 24

    he does talk about the composition of a major chord, as well as a major scale, very early on in the lesson in the fundamentals which is why I say it’s worth reviewing those lessons even later on because you’ll get something new out of them every time. I believe he does touch on minor chords...

    CAGED System – The C Shape – Lesson 24

    LOL! What a confusing post hahaha. I meant to say something like - If you don’t understand the background how and why the chords are formed (1, 3, 5) then the lesson feels like it’s a little too much and doesn’t make much sense. I didn’t even mean to imply root note 😧

    CAGED System – The C Shape – Lesson 24

    they are good exercises, but I think without understanding its roots, the exercises will feel a little empty and would be no different than just playing a song in one particular position. By looking at the associated major scale and how the chords are derived from it I feel the lessons will have...

    CAGED System – The C Shape – Lesson 24

    I think you don’t have to worry so much about the PG improv. I feel like he is just trying to show you the potential of what you can do if you play over the scales. By playing over his improvs you are likely building up more manual dexterity more than anything. get thru the rest of the...

    CAGED System – The D Shape – Lesson 28

    I'm just a little fledgling, but I am trying to learn more about the music theory as I go along, taking advantage of my naivety. Plus I think the scientist part in me just needs to "understand" how things work. Are you cramming everything in at the same time? I find it helps to revisit lessons...

    Lol I was thinking about your status update last night. I dropped a pick and my floor ate it... but while looking for it I found my piss yellow Ultex pick! Now, any tips for finding a brown pick on hardwood floor/carpet?

    CAGED System – The C Shape – Lesson 24

    I’m a beginner, like Dominik mentioned I don’t think the intention of the lesson is for you to be able to play the improv like that at full speed. But to slowly get familiar with the rest of the fretboard, how the chords are all linked together etc... Of course you always have the option to down...

    Introduction to Crossover Picking – Lesson 38

    I'm not fully understanding your reply, which makes me wonder if maybe I didn't explain what I was trying to convey very clearly haha. So I just made a quick video to show what I was trying to say. Apologies for the atrocious clicking, I use my phone to keep time and didn't think it'd be so...

    Introduction to Crossover Picking – Lesson 38

    This question really could have applied this to any previous lesson, especially the pentatonic scales, but this stuck out the most on these exercise: Say for example the sequence on the 4th string "4 - 5 - 7", is there a difference to individually fingering each fret, as opposed to just using...

    Starting from scratch

    Been practising lesson 33 (and revisiting all of those sets of lessons) but thought I'd come back and revisit lesson 29 with a little more pinky strength and slightly faster :D

    CAGED System – The D Shape – Lesson 28

    Hey guys. Pretend you’re a beginner going through these lessons...😅 For now is it acceptable to just understand the theory of it? Instead of being able to just improv something or playing these scales by heart/changing positions on a whim? I think I’m understanding what these lessons have to...

    Starting from scratch

    Omg yes. The one really good thing about taking these videos is that I realize half of my fingers are dead weight 😂 I will definitely do that! Thanks!
