Description
When it comes to learning how to play the guitar, lots of people have an opinion. Many of these folks have good intentions and will happily give you advice… but their advice can be dangerous.
In this episode, I explain why you should be wary of the advice of others. I’ve heard many people tell others, “You need to learn five scales,” or “You should learn modes”. Advice like that can be bad… especially if you can only just barely play a C Major chord!
Have a listen to hear some examples of students who were given advice which held them back, plus some useful tips on how to make progress with your playing no matter where you are right now. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the sheer vast number of things to learn on the guitar, this episode is for you!
