Hi {$name}, I’m curious how this 2 scale approach to guitar solos is working for you? Do you have more confidence in being able to take a solo in any situation? What knowledge or skills still need work?

If you’d like to share your thoughts, or if there is anything you would like me to explain more thoroughly, just reply to this email! I read and respond to every message personally.

There is always a next step we can take to become a more proficient player, but sometimes the problem is not knowing what that next step is!

I believe these are the 3 keys to reaching the next level of ability and enjoyment on the guitar:

♫ Knowledge: Having the right information at the right time. Knowing which scale to play where, how chords fit together in a key, and how to get that special sound! As you know there is a huge amount of information out there, but getting the information you actually need is the key!

♫ Skill: Learning the correct techniques for fingerpicking, flat picking, and fret hand position can be truly transformative for your playing ability. It took me years to fully understand the principles of correct playing technique, but working closely with my students I’ve developed a system for learning these key techniques in 3-8 weeks.

It might take a few months to settle into these new habits, and it also depends on how consistently you practice, but I’ve seen incredible results with every single student who does the work and applies these techniques.

♫ Vision: You can’t get what you want unless you actually know what you want! Having a clear vision of your goals and dreams is vitally important in any area of life, and the guitar is no exception. This is why I created the Guitar Mastery Roadmap, which is a toolkit for charting your goals and musical influences, and noting your achievements on the guitar.
