  Interessting set of tips ! I need to mention this, because it's my biggest fear and problem on the guitar; and i'd like to know if there is a better, and more fun way to approach that; and it's..... The rhythm and the metronome.... THIS..... Is my biggest frustration, fear and nightmare. For the context; like i told you, i came back to the guitar for a year now; and in my life so far i've quite 4 times... I'm 27 ! And the last time i did quite, it was because of the monotony of the practicing AND of the metronome frustration and boredom and robotic playing ! Do you have ideas and suggestions to make rhythm in general more fun and exciting ? Because just the idea of strumming and talking about rhythm, makes me lost my mind :/ ! By the way, i CAN be groovy if i'm playing somthing i like; notes the insipre my ears for exemple, i like to transcribe video game music and non guitar music, by ear of course ! I'm really not a fan of playing a complet song, most of the time it bored me to hell ! Because i'm extremly picky with what song i like to begin with XD I general i like what you are showing on your channel !

  Thanks! There’s a few things you can do to make Metronome work more fun. The first thing would be to make games out of it. Were you actually changing where the Metronome is clicking. Like only on two and four. Using a drum machine can help a lot as well. Playing with an actual drum groove is a lot more fun than just a clicking box. Using an app like iRealPro to make backing tracks for chord progressions, and songs you’re playing can also be a more fun way to do it. The last suggestion would be to use a looper pedal. Put on a metronome, play something with the looper pedal so that you know it’s in time, then turn off the Metronome and only play with the looper Hope some of those ideas help :-)

  My probleme is.... the god damn muscle between the thumb and the index.... I don't have a probleme to make a barred chord sound ok or good, but past 30 sec or 1 min of playing barred chords, this muscle is making me suffer like crazy (even if i make minimum pressure on the strings), and i have to let go of the guitar for a moment because it's burning and it's painfull like crazy ! 1 years back into playing the guitar, and i still have this issue. I've tried every position there is with the thumb, arm etc ! Nothing works..... And it does that on the Acoustic AND the electric with 9-42 strings..... I just don't know what to do.....

  @guitargympro5 күн бұрын

  The first thing I would do is make sure your guitars are set up. If you take them in somewhat regularly, and somebody’s checked them out and said they’re good to go then that’s not the issue. But, a lot of times if you haven’t had your guitar set up in over a year things can start to drift and make it a little painful to play certain things. The next thing I would recommend is trying out some different instruments. Neck shapes and sizes can vary wildly and one of them might be more comfortable for you. I owned a guitar once and the shape of the neck made my left wrist hurt whenever I played a bar with my third or fourth finger. The last thing I would recommend is to try playing the chord without your thumb. Meaning you’re only using your arm weight and pressure down on the Guitar. There is zero squeezing involved if you don’t use your thumb. If that little muscle still hurts without using your thumb, the tension is coming from somewhere else. If it doesn’t, it tells you it’s a pressure issue, a neck shape issue, or something similar. Hope that helps!

  @@guitargympro first, thx a lot for your respond ! As far as set up goes, the electric guitar that i have didnt had a set up, but the strings are already pretty lod for me, just might need à restring, cause the original strings aren't very nice to touch ! But my 3 folk guitars had a set up, and 2 have 10-47 strings gauge, and have pretty low action too, and the necks are pretty confortable for me ! I really have no issue making a barred chord sound good, even a Fmin7 on the first fret (even tho this one is pretty brutal for the thumb 🤣🤣) but the muscle between the index and the thumb still hates barred chords somehow.... i just tried to play a A#min barred chord (the on the 1st fret of the 5th string) without the thumb, well i can make it sound ok ! When i try to change chords and put minimal pressure, but enough to make the chord sound, the top of my hand and my arm muscle start to hurt.... i guess my hand dont like barred chords 🤣😭

  Great tips. Thanks for sharing. Had not given much thought to the sleep andd closing of eyes. Definetly the speed bumps have helped me when struggling with a solo. When I first discovered it by acident by playing a song between 110% -120% speed for a bit (I use Guitar Pro to sometimes learn songs),and admittedly verly slopply, it felt like a miracle when I could then play it quite well at 100%! haha In regard to the idea of sweet spots, I have usually found sometimes just taking a break after 5 minutes of practice and then coming back later that day or even after practicing something else for a little way in that same session, that there is some improvement when returning to what I had hit a plateau with. Not always but invariably the brain just seems to need to take a break from it to let it sink in. Anyway, enough rambling. Keep up the awesome work with the videos!

• 
  @guitargympro8 күн бұрын

  Make sure your fingers are parallel to the frets, not pointed at the body. Try pulling your elbow toward your body. Also, try higher up on the guitar doing this exercise. 9 10 11 12 will be smaller and easier to stretch. If you need more help I have a free group at skool.com/guitar. I do a live Q+A call Tuesdays and always make a recording to share with the group after.

•

  That’s a lot to answer in just a comment on KZread. Do you want to take everything in bite-size chunks. Make sure you know the chords. Make sure you can change between them. Learn the strumming pattern for each section. Learn to sing without playing the guitar. Start adding those two things together. Do that slowly with a metronome. Eventually speed up enough that you can play along with the record I’ve got a free community at skool.com/Guitar where I walk you through how to do exactly that, and it’s free.

  Playing guitar gets your fingers in a way. They’ve never moved before. It definitely takes a little bit. Instead of asking, if you can get to the top string with your pinky, I would ask is is my pinky able to get further than it was before? Stay relaxed, go slow, and you will get there :-)
