Mel Bay Syndrome :)
As a guitar player, did you happen to skip over important lessons in an effort to 'get right into the good stuff'? I know that I certainly did - and, I have definitely paid a price for having done so! But the damage does not have to be permanent!
On A New Mission!
What if we could go back, in a sense, and do it right this time? What if we decided to restart, do so with new passion and restart with a brand new sense of focus for finally learning the the most important musical lessons, the kind that really do make the difference? What if we were simply not ready the first time?

18 Very Important Musical Lessons With Just Four Bars Of Music!
With my updated approach, I have been focusing on a greater variety of music while learning just 'two bars' at a time! When we simplify our approach and just aim to master 'two bars at a time', we can then 'master music' much more quickly, while also taking our guitar playing up to the next level [again and again]!
For example, I just created a list of at least eighteen very important musical lessons that can be learned just by mastering the following four-bar exercise, which happens to be a lot of fun [talk about 'getting right to the good stuff']!
More To Come!
Now, I am going to come back and write a lot more and post many more musical examples for us to draw upon, but for now let's just say that, like the example above, there is a lot that can be learned even from the following short examples!
Blues Example #1
Blues is always a great genre to study when it comes to music!
Secrets For 'How To Sing & Play'! [I am going to redo this video - stay tuned]
There is an 'easy way' to sing and play with the guitar and then there is the 'nearly impossible' way! Try my simple approach and I bet that you can learn to do it [and have a blast]!
Play Faster Notes & Play Faster Tempo - Daily Exercise For Learning How!
For me, this is definitely a work in progress - and, I look forward to seeing what I can do as I begin to practice this fun exercise each day!
Jazz Example #1
This jazz piece is being played over a classic /ii/V7/I/VI7alt/ chord progression in the key of F Major. I composed this line using the F Major Scale along with the use of some 'strategically placed' chromatic passing tones.
