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

    I started the CAGED lessons some weeks ago and it's making a lot of sense, it's a great tool to work on the knowledge of the fretboard, connecting chords, arpeggios and scale positions. Just love it. But my problem I think is exactly what you say about thinking of it in terms of shapes and...

    Hey 👋, I feel so jealous when I see guitarists improvising, finding the right chords that work with the scales they're using, knowing the notes on the fretboard!! That's why I decided to set this new goal and made a point of learning the fretboard, which I've been actually postponing since I...

    Online lessons from a teacher

    I would recommend you to try. I got an online teacher too and my experience is really good. It’s not like Skype lessons. In my case, I send videos of me playing and he answers my questions and gives me his feedback on another video. Totally 1:1 attention and at my own pace. He is basically...

    Introduction to Bending Strings – Lesson 43

    keep on working on my bends and vibrato. Wanted to share this video to show how I practice. I created this backing track for some context, otherwise the exercises are too boring. It's actually an improv trying to find some notes that make sense together. Any comments for help are welcome.

    hopefully I'm using some of my brain 😆. That's a good thing, because a lot of people don't seem to use any 😂 I like neuroscience too, I read a lot of it for my work and I love it

    Learning is connected to emotion. Thanks neuroscience for explaining that this eagerness I feel to learn music theory when I’m already 47 is not some kind of mental disorder. My brain is just seeking endorphins 🤪🧠

    Bending strings is one of my weaknesses too. I can pretty much reach the right note when I do exercises but when I'm trying a solo it's way more difficult for me..but I keep on trying :LOL: Great job! Keep it up!
