Overall Lesson Question

[OldBreakDown]

I came to put this one on here because It doesn’t have to do with a set lesson, rather it has to do with all of them. I know this will vary but how long do you all recommend spending on a lesson?

Until you understand and can apply the concepta explained in the lesson

 

[OldBreakDown]

Okay, thank you

 

[Dominik Gräber]

For me it depends on the lesson but with really new stuff I try to learn what was taught and then apply it, maybe make a progress video before moving on.

There is no right or wrong answer here. Like.. if you enjoy sweeping.. you will spend more time there. And the things you arent Interested in (for me I'm not too concerned with hybrid right now as neat as it is) you wont waste too much time on. The lessons overlap anyways in a lot of ways. You'll notice that the deeper you get in.

Thank you, I’ll keep that in mind. It’s a matter of me wanting to make progress but not blow over anything as well.

That sounds like a good idea. Thank you, guess I should setup a channel and all.

It's okay to skip lessons and come back I've also done refreshers. Like just spent a month on caged lessons again.

So always sort of reinforceing new things and older things?

Lots of great advice here. Some lessons are clearly more important than others; CAGED, fretboard familiarity, scales, Modes, techniques, etc. Once you get to the Advanced section, you might want to skim over certain concepts that you don't care for. You might want to dwell on alternate picking and not hybrid picking. We have sort of "kitchen sinked" it. Everything is here, but it's up to you to find things you like and a style you want to pursue.
Hope that helps.
Good Luck!

I only mark a lesson complete when I can do everything that is shown on the video. And when it comes to how I choose what I have to practice, I alternate some intermediate and beginner lessons. This way I can learn new things or relearn and reinforce my technique or knowledge I have.

Thank you for that, I’m definitely going to be applying the idea of being able to apply information before moving on.

That did help, thank you very much. I’ve ruled out that I’ll most certainly regardless of anything else be making sure that I can apply the information learned from the lessons before moving on at all. Thank you again.

Kinda.. my first year I sorta skimmed lessons. Last year I started to apply some and going into this year with blues lessons I've spent extended time on each lesson.. jamming it out a few times.. and hearing the difference from the last one. Then I move on. I dont try to overwhelm myself. But that's pretty easy to do here with all the videos.

Yeah, I’m glad you’ve found a working pattern for yourself. From all the answers, what I’m getting is, make sure the information is understood and move at your own pace.

Yup there is no rush.. take your time. The rewards are greater that way.

Dont go too fast you will be cheating yourself

I’ll definitely keep that in mind and enjoy the process, thanks.
