#343 - Horrible Guitar Advice that KILLS Your Progress
Added 2024-09-20 14:30:01 +0000 UTCMy friends, usually I talk about the best advice I can give, but this week I'd like to focus on some myths and bad advice that personally held me back on my journey :)
I made a new exercise package for you, download it here (tabs, guitar pro, backing tracks, play-along videos): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1d4o-Ex4tmDfOxMwDcBD3MdnKbGNyh-yc?usp=sharing
With these new exercises, I don't just want to debunk these common guitar myths, I also want to give you some helpful practical workouts that elevate your playing beyond just studying mechanical exercises. Make sure to post your practice footage in the VIP group for Personal Coaching & Platinum members for feedback!
P.S.: As always, I also made a Dropbox folder for you in case Google Drive doesn't work: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/9vp66wu5vhentevtum1hq/AEgi5X21rnt3Gmgswa0Wr8Q?rlkey=x65eordmbf7r3u3q5sp2t99uo&st=tp9u6hsu&dl=0

I've sort of figured it out, it'd be cooler if they were grouped with the avatar used in the video, but i have most of what i need now. Thanks :)

2024-09-24 18:50:31 +0000 UTCHi guys, quick question - I see often you advertise the "technique course bundle" and the "music theory bundle" and such, but i cannot find these actual graphics anywhere other than just numbered courses, where are these bundles/what are they referring to? I struggle to find them on the site.

2024-09-21 03:00:41 +0000 UTCHey man, I saw your youtube video about Rocksmith and it inspired me to get started with it again. I wanted to ask, can you check out "CustomsForge"? It's a service for getting ANY song or any playing on Rocksmith custom. I would LOVE it if you can get ALL of your videos, practices, the whole nine, as rocksmith files we can import and then use rocksmith to work on with. I think it would be FREAKING AMAZING!!!

2024-09-20 17:27:51 +0000 UTCInterestingly I kind of get that "Don't focus in technique." That doesn't mean, you don't have to dig in this in any way. But when I come to think about myself... thanks to Bernth's videos for so many years now, I think my technique is quite well. Better (judging by the looks of it) than that of many other guitarists... they often show a lot of "bad habbits" that I learned about here. But still I am not nearly as good as them. Also while I really noticed my progress in technique in these years, I didn't quite notice getting better at playing guitar as a whole. For me this means: Technique isn't the only thing. Most likley not even the most important one. If that makes any sense... Maybe it really comes down to the bad word: Talent. But anyhow there seems to be more to it then just having a good technique.
