If you’ve played the guitar for some time and know the basic chords etc and the basic idea of scales etc but can’t seem to go much beyond that: look up the CAGED system. I feel like someone finally gave me a pair of glasses that I didn’t know I needed
I’m still in the very early stages of internalizing this but wow it’s like everything is coming together https://t.co/Z6fadE3TeM
All the C’s up and down the neck... I’m still fudging some of the notes but I’m confident that when I can play all the C major notes up and down the neck comfortably without thinking about it- develop a fingertip feel for it- I will magically become a better musician https://t.co/eXyfPFap9a
just practicing running along C, E and G up and down the neck, developing the fingertip feel for the sounds and shapes https://t.co/FduTZUQIIM
I always wondered “what would an intermediate tier noob look like, between the absolutely basic noob that I am now, and the obvious experts being experts” and I think I am now proud to say that I am an intermediate noob
Those slides used to look scary and intimidating to me because how do you not make mistakes? Do people MEMORIZE every single note, sound, place? maybe at a very advanced level yea, but at the intermediate level you just know the intervals and shapes and you can navigate by feel
Sliding from a major third to a 5th is always just four fingers up. A 4th up from the 5th is always the root/octave Big leaps are made of little leaps and if you’re nervous/uncertain you can always go home to the chord shapes and then regroup/reorient around them ...man.
