  • 1) Find a way to play around a little bit everyday, even just 5 minutes.
    2) Always play slow, clean, and musical - don't check out and play sloppy.
    3) Determine a core repertoire of short and simple things that you come back to again and again, to perfect them.
    4) "Move the ball down the field" with CAGED shapes and pentatonics
    5) Don't neglect chords and grooves.

    I've played guitar for around 30 plus years. My advice is - play often, and often play at the edge of your abilities. Push your playing and make sure you're stretching your ability each time. Never ever be afraid to make mistakes.

    ‘Play every day…’ yes yes yes a thousand times yes! Even though I’m a high schooler who has homework, activities and a job that take up a lot of time outside of school, I still make a precedence to play everyday, even if it’s just playing all the Toad the Wet Sprocket riffs I can play off the top of my head, or playing an acoustic rhythm pattern in DADGAD or something like that. Thanks Eric!!!

    My usual practice routine:
    1. Free jam warmup with whatever musical gibberish flows from my heart. I have a little chart of chords taped onto the side of my amp. I try to pick a different key each day. I typically use a looper with a drum beat going. I don't love how fiddly the Boss RC-10R is, but it does have a heck of a lot of different styles of drum loops.
    2. Calm down, pull up whatever book or course I'm working through, and work through a chunk. I just finished up a great course called "CAGED Edition of Guitar Zen" ;) Now I'm digging into an Ariel Posen course on rhythm triads. Some days, I can crush a couple pages. Some days, I immediately get stuck and spend the whole session learning one new weird shape or rhythm.
    3. Take whatever techniques I just learned from my lesson and incorporate them into whatever idea I stumbled into during my initial free jam. This is when I also let myself tweak all the effects on my board to get weird sounds. Three days ago, it was three delays chained together! Yesterday, I just cranked up a phaser until the wavering made me dizzy!
    4. Take 5 minutes to scribble down some notes in my comp book about the day so I (sort of) retain whatever I worked on.
    The challenge of taking on one course at a time and planning to mesh those lessons with my next deep dive into a weird effect are huge motivators for me.
    I also try to listen to two albums on repeat each week - something old and something new - and try to jam live at least once a week with somebody.
    ...man, I am not good at music relative to the amount of brain space I give it each week. Oh well. Just have fun trying stuff.

    Im so glad I have found your channel. I’ve been playing 2.5 years and in the intermediate phase but been getting over excited with learning so much as I am in the guitar phase of finally figuring out how everything works but it can be super overwhelming cause I just want to apply everything at once but watching your videos reminds me to just slow down and be patient. Also you remind me to actually focus on my playing too as you mentioned about creating the story first before typing which is a great analogy and sums up my mistake 😂 being at this level I find it’s hard getting teachers on CZcams like you cause most don’t explain sth or just say “don’t use the pentatonic, it’s a waste of time” even though I disagree with this cause it has helped me so much to understand the fretboard even though I can see why seeing it as chords is great too but we all need the caged system.

    The story writing analogy is just so true. The notes are there are on the guitar fingerboard already. When playing single string lead lines you just need to hear what you want to play in your head and then translate it to the guitar, even if it’s just note by note.

    Your content just keeps getting better, it's been an honor watching your channel grow like this. I love watching you play and listening to your ideas. Thankfully most everything from this list are already things that I do on a regular basis (especially finding any minute during the day possible to just PLAY something). What I do is play a certain list of arpeggios and other phrases to warm my hands up. From there I print off 5-6 exercises or challenging riffs/licks that I want to master for the week. Once I have mastered those exercises I move them around on the neck and really familiarize myself with what notes are being played. Then I refresh the exercises! :D Thanks for the video Eric you're awesome!

    • @EricHaugenGuitar
      @EricHaugenGuitar  Před 2 lety +1

      That's very smart to move those challenging licks around - too often we work really hard on some finger buster in Am, but don't do the extra work to move it to other chords/keys - that's where the fretboard knowledge really grows!

    I realize this is isn’t a “practice” tip, but:
    Take every opportunity to play with other people. It’s fantastic to play with people that are better than you. But it’s even useful to play with people that can learn from you (if you have the right attitude). In any of those situations, try to be MUSICAL (it’s not a contest, or a chance to show off)
    An hour playing with musicians is worth MANY hours practicing.
    And have a guitar that you leave out…so you pick it up a lot.

    I was never musical until I was past 65. I joked that I was born with two left ears.
    And just like my Mom, I bought a piano at 65 and started geeking out, and yes, I'm learning music theory. My daughter loaned me her tenor ukulele, and I bought a baritone now and so I'm crashing guitar videos for ideas.
    I want to learn the fretboard and master major triads first. But there are no black keys on the fretboard. So I did the next best thing. I put postit notes on my piano keyboard and now I have strings on my piano. I had to move my bench way to the left and my left hand is practicing learning chords and inversions. That really helped things click. Next are minor shapes, the Circle of Fifths progression, and it'll be time for lunch.

    Long ago, my buddy gave me an old beater nylon string. I was like "What is this for?" He said, "Leave it laying around the house and pick it up any time you got a minute. You don't need to fire up all your shit to practice!" I think leaving something always at arms length is a great way to stop procrastinating and start practicing. I really like my Ibanez 175 copy for this, but a nylon string (which I think you talked about before) is a great choice too.

    We as people hate to take the time to learn. We want instant results. Being disciplined in practice is important, but don't forget why we play. We play because we love music, so be sure to have fun, and enjoy the music you are creating as you practice. All work, and no play is never fun, and music is for fun, so just jam out and have fun. When I started playing guitar over 50 years ago, we didn't have CZcams with endless lessons, so ever in of gain was hard fought for. Today we can learn very fast from CZcams and other tools available to help teach. Use these tools and you will get better much faster.

Playing guitar and having music around me, as often as I can, is the best way to stay happy and get through my life! Each morning, before I catch the metro for work, I play for about ten minutes. That sets me off perfectly! I start my day in a relaxed, sometimes inspired and satisfied way.

    not gonna lie, man... when I saw during the week you posting some pedal steel over something I thought we`d have some `hendrix doublestop something`. but this is even better. From experience, what I use the most from your CAGED course on TrueFire is practicing my strumming hand. I didnt realize I knew so few rythm types, and that a few notes would colour so much between my chords. Now everything I already know I try to Bo Diddley it for a few minutes when I pick up the guitar in some different chord shapes. The confidence man, it`s already there!

    Great video. I add that I try to identify the note by name prior to movement. Slow at first but helps with note id across fretboard

    I feel seen. I have been working on the things we talked about last week, and I think it's sinking in! And the benefit of having a thick skull means that once things get in there, it's hard for them to come back out.

    I start my day with the Satellite riff which I believe Dave Matthews wrote as a warm-up riff that became a song.

    I would say the biggest hugest lesson I got from Eric was waaaay back on the video where he covered One More Cup of Coffee for the road, and the Andulusian cadence. The big eureka was that there is a pentatonic scale behind every chord! Once I absorbed that, and started practicing it every day (over a year now), the fretboard makes sense and my playing is way more cohesive.

      So I've just now hit this aha moment in my own playing and trying to get it down. Takes time but holy crap was it a rewarding moment getting that understanding and now implementing.

    • @EricHaugenGuitar
      @EricHaugenGuitar  Před 2 lety

      Yay! The pentatonics really are the root of everything!

    I love your ever so gentle campaign against the widdly-widdly fretboard diarrhoea brigade. To paraphrase John Wayne: play low, play slow & don’t say too much. ✅
    2:00 sounds like the theme to a very excellent dark British sitcom called Black Books.

    • @EricHaugenGuitar
      @EricHaugenGuitar  Před 2 lety +1

      That's a bit Marc Ribot's intro solo to "Jockey Full of Bourbon" (Tom Waits). It's been metioned before that whoever did the Black Books music was likely a fan!

    Eric, don't call us out like that 😂 too true about cramming may have worked before but not with something like guitar. Attention to detail is so important like you mention, you could learn so much by playing one note differently.
