Beginner Lessons (1-36) Videos Coming Next Week!

[Jak Angelescu]

Hello everyone! I am so sorry I haven’t been very active lately with posting riffs or replying. I have been having computer issues and have been stuck with just my phone. But luckily it’ll all be fixed next week. I have been able to really delve into these beginner lessons and I am currently weighing out lesson plans to help beginners apply them more thoroughly and fill in some missing gaps that people have been asking about. Most importantly, I will cover things like how to change between chords effortlessly, other strumming patterns, teaching some songs that you can play using the basic campfire chords, among a myriad of other things. I’m going to be focusing a lot on rhythm aspects, counting aspects, and basic music theory as well. It’s kind of like covering lessons 1 through 36 but going into a little bit more detail. Some beginners have been reaching out to me being slightly confused on what these lessons are actually trying to teach them and how they are Supposed to use them. I hope you all find these videos helpful!
I am also in the middle of finishing learning Shepherd of Fire. Several students and people on Instagram have asked me about the solo on it. It’ll take me a while to get the solo even decently up to speed, but I’m breaking it down really well and starting to understand more of what Syn is doing thanks to all these lessons. Once you start learning his solos and really dissect them, you start to see patterns in his playing and how he had approached his solos. It kind of helps you figure out what he could possibly be doing when you start to understand how he thinks when approaching his playing and soloing. I’m hoping that the tutorial will be up at the end of June.
Advice for the week: never underestimate your potential. You’d amaze yourself with the right confidence and dedication.

I like how you set new challenges right away as soon as you achieve the last one. I bet each one starts coming together faster and faster. I really like the idea of expanding on those beginner lessons tho. I learned a LOT there, more then I ever learned. I mean, the scales and all were nice, but the videos like the caged system videos were a real eye opener for me. Ones that were more showing how the patterns work on the guitar, rather then the scale that goes along with the patterns.
