How come no matter what you played, it all sounded pretty good?
Understand the answer to this question...
And you have the “keys to the kingdom”.
Unfortunately, most guitar players never discover the answer...
And it’s THE reason they get stuck, frustrated (and ultimately give up).
If, like most guitar players, you try to learn a “smorgasbord” of riffs, licks and pieces of songs (and maybe a little theory)...
...Hoping that one day, with "enough practice", you’ll reach some kind of “AHA” moment (where everything makes sense).
What you may not realize is this…
You're climbing up the wrong ladder.
You can’t get there that way.
And it’s not what the pro’s do.
You’ve seen pro guitar players ’tear it up” across the whole fretboard, haven’t you?
So how do they do it?
And how do they make it look so easy?
Again, to put it bluntly (just being honest with you)...
There’s a “system” the pros use to play all across the fretboard (and play by ear) which most people never find out about.
And the way it works (and ties everything together) is so laughably simple you may have trouble believing it at first.
Most people do.
Myself (and most of my students) included in the beginning.
But fact is, it’s true.
You just used part of it with that little “exercise” you did.
Pretty easy, wasn’t it?
Well remember what I said?
It never gets harder than that. Just different.
If you can do that little exercise, you can take the guitar as far as you want to go. (And faster than you might imagine).
Here’s a little (20s) clip my student, Jeremiah sent me...
It’s him improvising over some background music. (We’d only worked together for a few hours - and he’d only been playing guitar in total for around 2 months).
