The first thing is, most guitar players think that the more they learn…
The more they study about things like theory, chords, and scales…
That one day, it’s all just going to “come together”, and they’ll finally be able to play freely.
But they are dead wrong.
The truth is, the more “stuff” you cram in your brain…
The more you have to THINK when you play.
Yet as all great guitarists agree…
The only way to play freely… is when you’re NOT thinking!!
That's why chasing the “theory trap” is climbing up the wrong ladder…
The truth is, the only way to start sounding good and musical, is to learn do it right now, TODAY, no matter how much you “know.” (After all, how else do you think all those legends like Eric Clapton sound so good without studying theory?)
