    Comment by 'Mariler' in media 'SGS Blues Lesson 2 - Motif: A little Blues Instrumental'

    Sounds smooth and melodic to me. Love it!! ❤️ I’m far far away from being a blues experience player, but my ears tell me you did a great job 👍

    Introduction to Bending Strings – Lesson 43

    One question on how to bend a string correctly. Do you bend the string quickly to get the right pitch right away and hold it, or do you bend the string slowly? Or does it depend on the expression you want?

    latest progress video

    It's been a year since I started posting on IG to track my progress on guitar and I was watching some old posts. One of them was this 1st solo of Fade to black. This is a video comparing one year ago with the last one I posted here. I want to say THANK YOU to all of you that have been helping...

    A Thing I Learned From Bill

    I’m loving this post and I’ll tell you why. Working as a school counselor for years, I see every day how a lot of talented students get frustrated, their results are really bad. But I can tell you for sure that the problem is not them, the problem is that we often focus too much on teaching our...

    Thank you!! I’m not sure what to say, I’m not actually aware while I’m playing 😅 , but I think the key is holding the guitar neck firmly between your thumb and index finger, and the other thing I would say is keeping the fist of your picking hand closed, so you can play faster. Hope it helps

    FRIENDLY REMINDER ABOUT THE ROCKSTAR STUDENT AWARD

    . In case it can help you, I’ll share my experience about the lessons. I would say when I started here as a very beginner that only knew a few of open chords, everything seemed a bit overwhelming because doing these lessons requieres a lot of personal work and effort. Self learning can be...

    FRIENDLY REMINDER ABOUT THE ROCKSTAR STUDENT AWARD

    I have to say that I’ve been seeing your threads about this award and I was totally ignoring them because I had no clue what this was about, didn’t know the target is to impulse the use of the lessons. I thought it was something for advanced students. You know at the very beginning of the...

    I hadn't even noticed !😆 I'm sure you'll get there with practice. I guess I'm kind of using the thumb to anchor my hand and move the other fingers more easily

    Comment by 'Mariler' in media 'Palm muting practising - For whom the bells tolls'

    Sounds good! Palm muting has been torturing me for a long time since I started, takes practice but finally you'll feel comfortable.

    Comment by 'Mariler' in media 'Really bad practice video but I think I’m learning something valuable ? Thoughts ?'

    good for you, girl!! Love it because we're all learning and messing up all the time. Showing your mistakes is a good thing while learning, if you show it perfectly played after 2.000.000 takes you can't get any help, but this is exactly what a learning process is about: messing up and going...

    Does anybody have any tips to help me memorize the fretboard? Please Help!!!

    There’s a lot of great tips they have given here! Theory is really overwhelming at the beginning. I started learning guitar like 2 years and a half ago but so far I never felt the need of digging deeper into theory. I didn’t even feel that I was able to understand. Everything is too difficult...

    wish I were 33!!... but I'm starting to need glasses to read so I'll have to face the fact that I'm aging 🤣 Anyway, your age is how you feel not how old your body is, and learning guitar is really making me feel younger

    Does anybody have any tips to help me memorize the fretboard? Please Help!!!

    Definitely those 10 minutes a day are the key. No shortcuts...so I'm putting my rusty brain to work from today. Thank you!
