    2 FREE TICKETS TO THIS WEEKEND'S MASTERCLASS!!

    It’s an awesome chance! Everyone should be willing to take advantage of this!! It’s gonna be 8 pm for me and it’s a crazy hour of the day in my house, but as a beginner I couldn’t miss the chance to take a lesson with a professional. The major scale is exactly what I’m trying to learn and...

    Red Light Syndrome

    Now I film a lot of my practice to fight against that anxiety. I used to have a great phobia to seeing myself on a video 😅, then I decided to start posting on IG, and not caring too much if my takes contain some mistakes, after all mistakes are a part of learning.This simple stupid thing made...

    How Is Everyone Doing?

    I know, we use masks all the time out of home. Problem is that my kid is disabled and goes to a special school with other disabled kids. He can wear a mask but when he gets uncomfortable he starts chewing it. All those kids are absolutely lovely but it’s very difficult to make them wear masks...

    How Is Everyone Doing?

    Trying to keep guitar practice, household chores and mothering balanced...(household is usually the loser here 😆). And at the edge of a nervous breakdown because the new school year is around the corner and we still don't know clearly how the COVID shit is gonna be dealt with at school to keep...

    CIRCLE OF FIFTHS!

    another old brain here, and yeahhh it’s so hard to memorize. My only excuse is that I discovered all this after 45, 😅 but I’m making an effort trying to be consistent and learn as much as I can

    Revelations of the CAGED system

    Definitely was a revelation to me too. I knew CAGED existed but didn't really understand the purpose or how everything is linked on the fretboard until I watched Papa Gates lessons. Now a lot of things are starting to make sense to me. And made me want to delve into theory, which I had been...

    "The more I learn, the less I know", did you ever had this feeling?

    I definitely think I kind of need that fresh new start from time to time and that keeps me motivated and eager to learn. Being a 47 year old beginner I know I'm not bound to become a great musician, and it's not what I want, but this learning keeps me moving, it's like a fresh breeze, like my...

    "The more I learn, the less I know", did you ever had this feeling?

    That's exactly what I feel, learning something new makes me more aware of everything I don't know...it's like all the time discovering there's something else to learn I think I'll end up being a beginner forever 😅

    "The more I learn, the less I know", did you ever had this feeling?

    It’s just my thoughts but I’m sure I’m not the only one here having sometimes this feeling. There is so much involved on guitar learning… I don’t really think it’s a bad thing feeling like that. I mean, I guess I learn like in circles. I focus on one thing at a time, then move on to the next...

    Comment by 'Mariler' in media 'A blues improv in C'

    Vibrato is sooo hard 🤪 I see Gary Moore playing some blues and I think "how the hell can he do that??" Just hope I can do some decent vibrato some day...I can't wait to see your video to learn from you 😜

    Metronome practice to build up some speed

    @Ids Schiere metal poll inspired me to try some Pantera stuff and this Fucking Hostile is great to practice a fast heavy powerful rhythm. I can barely go 80% so far and I'm not sure if I'll ever make it to 100%, but I have to try :)

    Definitely tough but I love it because there's a lot going on like bending, hammer on and pull offs, it's fast...a good training

    My Sharona (The Knack) solo. This is one of the most catchy rock tunes I know. I learned the rhythm some weeks ago and then started the solo, building up spe...

    Comment by 'Mariler' in media 'practice - mess up - repeat'

    I was actually focusing so much on listening to the backing track and trying to keep the right timing that didn't actually pay attention to the pickup I was using 😆. There's so many things to keep in control that I just lose it🤣🤣 Thank you captain Ed!
