    Story of my life. I practised guitar like a maniac. Classic, jazz scales, but when someone wanted me to play a pop chart song, I was lost. Then there was always another guy who knew all the girlie songs and I went to bed alone. Again. Great vid!

      lmao... Even roadies get laid lol... I never played to get laid... And I always had girls that wanted to hang out, and have fun. And for the most part, girls you want to date are even less interested in a guy that plays guitar. Sure there's the few girls that want you to join them, for a little fun. But you aren't likely going to start a relationship lol.

      You could learn them all in one go. They are all basically the same chord progression with a different strum. I honestly think a Jazz guitarist could learn every major song since 2010 in 24 hours.

    • @yearginclarke
      @yearginclarke Před 2 měsíci +2

      For me personally it's kinda cool, but ultimately it doesn't do much for me if people are impressed by me playing stuff. Lots of non-musician people have seen me playing just basic blues/classic rock licks and riffs, or metal stuff, and they're usually like WOW that's amazing! And I'm like, yeah...but you don't realize how easy it is once you get to a certain point. Learning job/career and real life skills has always been much harder for me.
      I always point out that it's not the technical ability that matters so much, but making an actual meaningful musical statement...whether it's complex or truly original doesn't matter so much. You just have to be able to *_feel_* it. That's what good music is all about. The right player can take 3 chords and do some amazing stuff with it. Myself I was never that good at it, my stuff is just generic and rather boring IMO. But we've all heard countless players and artists who took that basic format and did wonderful things with it.

  • @JeffBurton-hc2gg

    You have given me the opening to feel more confident when people say " Play something for me" because I know lots of campfire songs but have a voice like a shovel dragged across gravel and this sounds like I know what I am doing without having to sing along. More of these please Champion.

    Here’s another great lesson! You are so right with your intro of being “paralysed with a G Chord when being asked to play something”!! You’re lesson on “what to play when you rock up at a guitar shop” is also another classic situation that scares the bejesus out of most of us try hards.

    I've played from 5,000+ chord charts along with other musicians and never memorized any of them. So when someone asks me to play something its like, what? What do I do? Then when I do play something from memory its always, "what song is that?'

      Or, if you can arrange it to spell out a single word, try something like this..."B"asket Case. "L"osing my Religion. "A"merica. "M"y Old School and "E"verlong- so this set can be remembered as B.L.A.M.E. Combine them- Sad Old WHINOS BLAME everyone ELSE. Then find some tunes that spell out ELSE! Everybody Hurts. L.A. Woman. Stairway. Easy.

At home I play great but I get nervous sometimes in front of others. Finally learned how to use my Trio+ last night and I am loving it. 2 studio monitors from drums, cymbals and one main track- then 3 amps to fill in the rest- all connected to my pedal board with a AB/Y pedal. I have a Godin guitar that also has two output jacks- technically 3 (synth.) Sounds amazing- then add 7 speakers including a nice sub (home theatre) that I play my backing tracks through. Basically studio quality. I'm not even a pro- just love tech and guitar.

    Just keep practicing and learning new songs and licks. You can only play what you can play. Best to remember to just have fun no matter what you know. I remember these years struggling on putting things together and then one day it all just clicked and now I pick up songs very fast. Soon you become a music playlist, but like it or not it's going to take years to get really good as well as being comfortable in your own skin in playing.

Now to go though and figure out what intervals im playing and shape they belong in so i can play licks in the shspe im in as i work my way up...thos lesson is like a little diving board!!❤❤
