Are you faster, more accurate and stronger? Your pretty much ‘better’. I can play the guitar with more speed and accuracy than Jimi Hendrix could. Am I better guitar player than him? Certainly not. Because there’s more to it than that. More to it than plain ‘competence’ - there’s a reason some musicians who are brilliantly skilled and barely artistic don’t have the legs to create evocative emotional responses So it’s not a sport, because it’s not JUST about being ‘good’

There's a balance. Something can be simple & beautiful or complex & shit. The best music is made when someone has the ability to be incredibly complex, but they know when to pull it out & when it's just not necessary. In general, talented musicians write better music than less talented ones.

Guitar teachers should jump at their students naming music they want to play. Teach them what they want, and when it gets to a part they don't understand or can't play, then you can teach the theory.

Then they're like: "Okay then, how about Polyphia."

I produced a pretty big song in Latin America a few years back. I connected an old Gibson straight into the interface, threw some boss chorus on it and played the typical 80’s major pentatonic guitar riffs.

Preach. So many musicians don't understand that it's not all about playing a billion scales and knowing every single point of music theory. I'm a classically trained musician, I can easily read sheet music, play most scales and modes, understand chords etc etc - but none of that is a substitute for just being able to make good music that people want to listen to and play

Learn 3-5 notes, and you can play pop music.

When I taught guitar I’d teach them what they wanted to know. But I’d always come back to powerchords and the pent scale if they got a little disheartened with what they were working on.

Matt’s eyes are gorgeous

Exploring the edge of what you can do is a pretequisite to finding out what you want to say.

Guitar teacher here... It's okay Matty, At least there's guitars in your music!

I love how this new era thinks incorporating two more notes into their scales (and literally making their music sound worse as a result) is some major achievement.

🤭 yeah, there was a joke thing to troll message him pretending to be a guitar teacher, seems he fell for it 😅

Dudes picking up guitar to get laid. "It's just major pentatonic scale." No shit dude. Let's just throw out 90% of music because it's not deep enough on a music theory level. It sounds almost like guitar teachers are mad because your music isn't technical enough or something. It's good. Really good. It doesn't matter if it's easier to play than other songs. It's better than a lot of other songs.

I get the argument that music isn't meant to be competitive, and pushing towards more progress with the instrument is unnecessary, but at the same time, everyone's writing the same music so no shit your genre and instrument is going to lose mainstream appeal and attention. Most of these people don't value mainstream appeal, but as someone who would like to do music for a living, if you don't have mainstream appeal, you don't make money. Musical "progress" I think is a necessary thing. Music is art, and if all the art is the same, it gets boring. Guitar players are just one of the groups of musicians that are so caught up in preserving what the innovators and heroes played when they were kids, that they're putting down the innovators of today. It's very backwards to me. Old people who fell in love with the popular music of their time won't let go and let young/talented people build on what they did.

Just play from your heart and why would you want to sound like 1975. Easy listening elevator music.

Nobody's walking to a guitar lesson asking to learn their songs

Ive been playing guitar for almost 15 years now. I am not good at it....ok. im not a professional and you dont have to be a pro.
