Is there a Guitar Tricks course that can show how to stitch all of this together so that when I sit down with a guitar I can do something that sounds like music instead of fragments? I've never had the feeling like I was on a path and progressing toward an objective.
I'm POSITIVE I used to overthink it. When I "let it go" I improved. But, if I took a guitar to a camp fire, I have no earthly idea how I'd play for 30 minutes and make it sound interesting. Same for electric guitar playing.
Any suggestions?
Hi there,
This is an interesting question and the root of this seems to stem from the question: what do you want to learn and why are you playing guitar?
Our Core Learning courses do a great job with giving you small pieces of guitar playing like chords, single note melodies, and then putting them together into a song. And then ramping that up to playing scales, more advanced chords, and implementing chord progressions, etc. That is the core of guitar-playing.
If you have a good grasp of those key concepts, you'll be able to play a lot of different music. It seems like you may want a course on how to create your own songs. What do you think?
