As a former guitar teacher, here's my thoughts as to why some guitar players hit a wall: (And this post is long, so I understand if some people don't want to read it, but if this can help at least one person, it's worth it). The problem is as guitar players we often become too complacent with our playing, we often play the same things over and over, because it feels natural and easy. And we all do this. It's almost subconscious when we pick up a guitar our fingers begin noodling on auto pilot and playing whatever feels natural. And we've done this so many times we barely even have to think what we are doing. However you will not improve if you keep playing the same songs; solos; and patterns you've already mastered. And that's the problem, it takes concentration to learn and play new things. If you want to improve technique you have to practice what feels awkward and unnatural to your fingers, until it becomes natural. Then move on. Do not get stagnant. You should always be challenging yourself when you practice. Also as a teacher I constantly had to correct students who were playing with improper technique. Playing guitar wrong only makes everything 2X more difficult, and slows down your growth rate. I can't stress enough to novice players that proper technique is EXTREMELY important. You can practice 6 hours a day, but if you're technique is wrong, all you're doing is reinforcing bad habits.

I started playing guitar when I was 12, around 19 started playing live semi-professionally. Around 30 wife and kids happened and I slowly stopped playing and eventually sold everything. At the age of 43 I started to get the interest again partially due to my 10 year old son showing interest in it. I’ve picked up a guitar and amp and have been noodling. But I find I’m playing the same old stuff over and over again. You hit the nail on the head I’m playing what is comfortable and what is burned deep in my memory. I just haven’t figured out how to get out of the rut.....

And then I played some different songs, and then it hit me, I thought I wasnt getting any better on guitar. I was so sad, and then I started listening to my recordings that I recorded when I just got my guitar. And then I was like WTF!??!?! I thought then I sounded so good, turns out they were awful lol. And I compared it to what I just played and thought to myself, "You have gotten alot better, I mean ALOT better"

Yeah, but also remember that there are many other things to do, and you can always play guitar as a hobby. If you don't feel like practicing 24 hours a day (and if you want to be musician, you will), then don't do this, don't force it. Guitar playing should be fun, not forced. I think the most important thing about guitar is to realize it, there is no rat race, there are no better players, there is just music. No matter how much time you take and how you do this, all that matters is your joy out of it. No amount of money or fame is going to give you this feeling. It's you, and music, nothing more. You can play, or just listen to it, it's up to you. The reality hurts though, and making money requires lots of effort. However, do never let music become something soulless, let it be true and from heart, even if it's your job.

Dude...this was exactly what I needed to hear. I've been playing for over 20 years. And you are spot on. There were times when I just wanted to give up. At 19 years old, I was doing well. I wanted to be the best. Then I went to see Christopher Parkening play live. I almost quit. I thought I'd never be as good as him...which was true. So I put down my guitar for a week. But it beckoned to me and I found my passion once again. So what did I do? I took classical guitar lessons and it opened up my world again. Many years went by and I got married. Even after getting married and adopting two small children, my wonderful wife encouraged me to still join a band. So I joined my church band (I had just gotten saved and given my life to Christ). I also joined a phenomenal Christian rock band that played gigs all over Chicago. Time went by and we had another child. Things slowed a bit. Then I had twins and things got really bad. I was forced to sell all of my gear. Mesa Boogie amp, three guitars. All of it to put food on the table. Years went by and my now nine year old son has become obsessed with learning guitar. My passion now flows through him. And seeing him learn like I did and become obsessed with Led Zeppelin. That, my friend is my new peak and it's like none that I've ever had. Great video!!! Thanks for sharing!

I got my first guitar about a year ago and I was so excited to start learning how to play but life happened and I ran into some problems in my personal life that totally killed my motivation. Fast forward to this year and I thought I'd give it another try. So I brought myself a new guitar and my experience has been very discouraging. I've been practicing about a month now with very minimal progress being made. But I refuse to give up until I see my dream of actually playing guitar realized. And your video is just more fuel to fire up my motivation. Thanks!

The beginning is always fun because little progress feels massive when every new thing fundamentally changes what you can do on the guitar. The middle stage of learning is almost always the uncomfortable part. It's too easy to continue doing things you're already good at cause they boost your ego and make you feel accomplished, but you're only really improving if you're willing to suck at something and take it slowly. Didn't start breaking through those secondary plateaus until I separated my sense of self worth from how good I thought I was on a particular day.

1:50 just by hearing that explanation I understood and confirmed what I was suspecting all these years. Because I've been experiencing those peaks and valleys when learning anything, but with guitar I'm more self-demanding, as it's like my obsession to master this instrument. I started as a child, kept on learning on my teens but when I grew up I kept my (acoustic) guitar stored and only occasionally played it. Now after several years, starting my 40's I've also bought an electric guitar, and I'm super excited playing them but still feel like I'm sometimes stuck. Now thanks to your video I won't give up.

It's kinda comforts me that we all feel like this at some point. Knowing that we can overcome those feelings. I'll always love metal/rock music to death. Over the years of playing guitar, I found out that if you stick to only playing (and listening)one genre it kinda feeds the stagnant feeling. When I realized that feeling, I started to learn how to play other genres. Other genres like reggae, classical, latin, etc. It kinda feels cool just to start "speaking another language" in guitarnese lol There goes my 2 cents and I appreciate this video.

Cause i got commited to overcome it and master it. A day came when i got stuck again thinking about MAB and Frank gambale sweep picking! God... I again got strictly commited. Learned and played sweep picking day and night. Only played major and minor arpeggios (nothing else) over weeks and a month whenever i picked up the guitar. Now atleast i can play fluently some sweep picking arpeggios. From this experience, it was one way commitment to one way style. Don't lose hope.

Yes. Really good. Never give up. Whatever comes out of the water tap. Stay with your desire, whatever happens at the moment ... this is old news ... really ... as training musicians for more then 40 years, I can completely confirm ... even made also videos over the power of our desires. Be always inspired with music ... the rest will come 👍🏼👋🏼😉

Very good advice. When I first started to playing slide delta blues guitar I crossed a lot of valleys and got discouraged often. The main reason was because I thought I'd never be at the level of the original delta blues musicians from the 20s and 30s, but as I kept sitting down and disciplining myself hours on end I started to be able and get myself to those peaks (although still nobody plays that style as genuine as them) but I reached a point where I thought I could say that I'm a delta blues guitar player. Everybody needs to reach for the stars and tell themselves that they can do it because they can!

Then, the end of a day, I feel that money I had earned, doesn't bring me satisfaction like playing guitar. Anyway thank you for your encouragement.

I played rock/indie for the longest time, but iv'e always liked fusion and jazz, but never gotten around to learn how to play it. So when the i hit my wall i picked up fusion/funk and jazz. After some time i found that the analogy of jazz gave me greater technical insight which in return made me progress :)) I would recommend trying Jazz out. It digs deep into the art of improv and solo-guitar as well as Jamming, which is something that carries over into your playing across the different genres.

Awesome! Great advice. I recently went through a period of thinking about quitting...couldn't find anyone to play with, was just thinking what's the point? But what snapped me out of it was....picking up the guitar. Made me feel better, and miraculously, I found a guy to play with too, so it's all working out.

Well, I have another question for you and the masses. What do you do, if you feel that your technique improves, but your creativity gets lost in the process, and the riffs you were writing before were better, than those you can even think of today? I hope someone gets what I´m about.

Here's what I've been doing the last five years that has worked wonders for my guitar playing: 1 Take lessons from a true expert in a different genre. That's right ... something completely different. 2 Take voice lessons 3 Take piano/keyboard lessons. I'm better now on guitar than I've ever been! I write, record and perform.

I am in block now, for last 15, 20 days. And I think that making music or playing any instrument depends on your internal feelings. If you are not clear emotionally you wont be able to play or make music. I had some problems lately and that is why I could not play, even do I take guitar every day and try... Needed this video so much. Thank you very much!

I just finished my weekly flamenco guitar lesson via Skype when I watched this video. I am following flamenco guitar lessons for almost 3 years now and I am still nowhere there, but I know that I have to keep up. If I compare to what I could do more than 2 years ago, that is a giant step. And yes, there were times that I wanted to quit, but then I had a great lesson again, which gave me the energy to keep going. Apparently, according to my teacher, several of his students have already quit. Flamenco guitar is not something you learn in about an hour, or by watching videos. After more than 20 years of playing, I had to unlearn a lot of my bad habbits... So for me, this video is a good motivator. I tells me that I am doing the right thing, keeping on struggling with picado, rasgueos and so on. Thanks for the video!

DUDE!!!! Reading Outliers is what got me to buy a guitar last month, and a bass just tonight! When I first tried play bass in high school I wanted to instantaneously be Cliff Burton, when I wasn’t the most amazing bass player ever I just gave up. Outliers taught me that even people like Mozart had to practice a lot before they got even halfway decent. I’m 45 now, and I know I’m going to have to crawl before I can walk, and walk before I can run. I don’t care if I currently suck, and I do, I’m having fun! I wish I had watched your music store videos a couple hours ago, because I was nervous as all get out. Now I know nobody cares. 🤓

I've been playing guitar for 3 years without a decent guitar to play I learn playing by borrowing guitar to my friends cos we dont have money to buy one and for now I only practice with my old guitar given to me by my classmate a year ago and everytime I play with my band I always feel like I am left behind, all of them are getting better and better each band practice we did but me I don't feel any improvements, It only feels like being stuck in a middle of a void without anyone to help. Way back when I was on 10th grade I was kicked out on my old band because they say, I dont have instrument to play with them. I've been feeling down for almost a year thinking about what if I can't be better, what if I couldn't reach my dream I'm still playing in my band but still there's always a thought inside that is pulling me down until I watched this video and I feel better by now thank you!!!!

If you hit a 'roadblock' just listen to new music, change your tunings and learn new shit. Not hard. If it's 'too time consuming' then you really don't care about enjoying actually playing and you only care about being good because of your own self spite.

As much as your comment sounds like an asshole thing to say - I have to say, this is how I'm currently feeling. Have been playing for a long time now but whenever I go to practice anything, after about 10 minutes the feeling of 'fuck it' creeps in and I just end up trying to (very badly) play something fast. Then I put the guitar down and think that I'm crap. I always thought that guitar was my passion but maybe you're right, maybe I'm too worried about "being good" rather than actually learning. Thanks for the comment, food for thought for a few I'm sure.
