Getting good at guitar means we need to take the time to practice the things we are NOT good at YET. Learning a musical instrument is partly brain work, but also physical skill building. This week that's exactly what we're doing. This video is Level 1 -- meaning not as difficult. We have more challenging practice routines posted to Patreon over the next while, including more pentatonic shapes, triads, double stops, licks, scales and more.

    Love the fly up the fretboard move - feels like a turbo boost, connects so many ideas too!

    My high school music teacher had a saying that fits with the end. "It's good to have fun, but it's more fun to be good." Thanks for all the great lessons!

    You never fail to surprise me with your perfect, easy explanations. And just when I was in a learning rut, thanks!!!!!!! (not-so-pro tip: keep a guitar next to your bed to make you feel guilty about practicing like Blue tells you to!)

    You just keep providing us with such quality content Blue - The Switchback idea has really changed my playing style...obviously for the better - I feel like my solo's are moving away from that "pentatonic style" sound to something that actually sounds like music! Keep up the great work.
