    I came across your videos a few weeks ago and you have inspired me to finally learn guitar. I am 51yo and have bought and started learning guitar a few times over my life but something always seemed to screw it up be it work or family life. But I have really got the bug this time and have all the time in the world so I bought a cheap Donner guitar and amp pack off Ebay for now as from what I understand they are a very well made budget guitar. I signed up to your course last night and as soon as my guitar arrives I am getting stuck in. I will save for an Ibanez RGR221PA AQB Gio as I love that guitar and that should see me through for a while. So thanks for giving me the kick in the ass I needed to get stuck back into it Tyler and you keep shreddin man.

    I agree that practicing with drums, or a metronome, is a great rhythm exercise. I wouldn't say that every great guitarist practices with a metronome, though, because I heard Josh Smith say that he never used a metronome. I don't think a metronome is essential to fix poor timing, however fixing poor timing is essential, for good playing. Playing along with records is a good way to get a good feel for rhythm, possibly even better than a metronome, because nobody likes the sterile sound of perfectly quantized playing.

    The most important thing in playing guitar or doing anything in life is to have fun because everyone’s a critic especially other guitarist. People can tell you a million ways that you did something wrong and they can recommend you a million different things that they think you should do that would make you sound better to them but what a lot of guitarist don’t realize is it’s not about them it’s about you and how playing the instrument makes you feel. You’re the one who bought the instrument so play it how you want to and do whatever you gotta do to make yourself happy while playing it. If that means that you want to shred then shred, if that means you want to go slow and melodic then go slow and melodic, it’s different strokes for different folks and people need to realize that and stop trying to force their taste on someone else and let them find their own style.

    This might be one of my favorite videos you've made... and partly for personal reasons. Objectively (I use this term loosely) it's a solid video. Subjectively I am going through a period of re-discovering my love for the guitar. It has been incredibly satisfying as I remind myself, "Hey, I can fuckin rock." :D
    I spent several years frustrated with my experiences in the music industry and instead was just did DJing EDM on the side while I worked on a software career. (Not entirely regrettable though because I have a good salary job now.)
    I'm considering doing the camp! I would take time off work for it and everything. I'm working on videos now myself. So far they're just on IG @naw_shen_nep but I'll be making a new channel on youtube soon.

    More starting out guitarists need to hear this. I lost count how I have gotten those people who cram in every note they can into a riff but lost timing, or melody, tell me I suck because I just use music theory to be my road map to where and what to play. As for technique, I do strongly say to anyone I have ever taught spend a practice session making noise on your guitar. You might discover a sound or thing you did that you might want to use in your song, like Nirvana's song "Milk it" or Ozzy Osbourne's song "Crazy Train" both songs have more going on to it than you realize if you really listen.
