I get up half an hour earlier than I "need" to, make a coffee, and practice for half an hour. I "practice" whatever I'm trying to achieve that week. New chords, new runs, playing in time, playing to new and interesting times, just playing! Whatever! No hurry. No problems. It's 6.15 am. I play at low volumes. Low key. When I leave home to go to work, I've already won the day. It's My Day. Playing guitar has meant so much to me for the 7 years I've done this.

I find 3 hours every single day to pick up the guitar and play. I've established so many baseline chord progressions and I remember each and every one of them. I've gotten to the point now where when I'm sleeping I will literally dream of music and wake up with a melody in my head. Music is a language, how to speak without saying anything. I've been through a lot and its my outlet. I watched this video because I was curious on your thought process. And it's very similar if not identical to how I view it. To ALL of you beginning guitar players: Never stop chasing the love for guitar. And when you get to a point where you don't know how to progress or a feeling of getting stuck, know that every single guitar player reaches this point. And it's okay, it's a part of the process. Keep overcoming obstacles, strive to improve and STAY HUMBLE. Understand that you aren't the best and you most likely never will be. Don't play to be great, play to play. Play guitar to feel. ALSO, for some reason there is this stigma that playing guitar fast is associated with being good or not. Now it is skillful, but understand most of that stuff is arpeggios sped up. Just practice and be patient. Be kind and spread love. Cheers. Eric, thank you for the video. I hope this comment helps in any way that it could.

Hey Eric. Love your vibe. Totally agree about the importance of chords and grooves. Whatever they may be. And of course being in the right frame of mind. While I’m definitely no jazzer, My long time go to is to learn real book chord progressions and the melodies and then try to find a bass line that works and then weave them all together. I also try to record all three tracks separately. It works for me because all those songs occupy space in my heart and my head. That’s life long project….for me, anyway. I might just add the beetles book. Talk about a lifetime project. Anyway, I’m looking for an online guitar spirit guide of sorts to help me stay motivated with tips and new stuff to work on. I’ve looked in to some of the KZitem names everyone knows, but have yet to click enough with any of them to get on board for a subscription of some sort. Tomo’s guitar knowledge thing is close. Do you do anything like that, and if so, where is the repository of all guitar stuff by Eric? No interest in private lessons at the moment. Just hoping for access to a well curated, cohesive pile of stuff to work through. Sorry for all the words. R

It's so true. There is so much focus on technology, better gear, learning scales, etc. These help to a certain point but you have to feel music and enjoy it to really progress. Learn guitar by picking your favourite songs and absolutely sucking at them until you get better - you will learn technique on the way. This is a little bit of a tangent rant but look at the best artists and albums made: they were made by kids with shit equipment because they FELT when they wrote that music. The Strokes/Arctic Monkeys first albums weren't done with Gibons and training of pentatonics. They were kids who felt a certain way and translated that into their work. If you aren't having fun, looking cool, and enjoying yourself, you're not practicing and you're doing it wrong.

Those old real 60s Mustangs are beauties! Plus they sound damn good! Great to play. That student model reputation they have is criminally unfair. When find a good Stang, they’re just as good as any good Fender and have their own special tones and are extremely delicate and woody due to their low output (basically strat coil) pickups. Especially with both pickups on in series, that is the most unique sound to a Stang. Similar to Teles and Strats and Jags but not. But just like with anything, you just gotta find a good one ✌️. Eric has one of the nicest ones that exist I agree!

Metal guy here. I can 100% relate to what you said here. I usually play metal stuff but i find myself more and more getting worn out by playing this stuff. I stop after 30 minutes or so because it gets boring quick. Then i fiddle around with the settings and i get stuck on the clean channel, throw some reverb on it and the next time i look at the clock...2 hours are just gone. And i wasn´t even writing a song or anything...just noodling around, trying some fancy chords and stuff. I finally felt something while playing again. So for keeping things fresh and interesting i recommend trying out all the possibilities your setup has to offer. Leaving your comfort zone and trying new ways with the gear you have can go along way. Took me years to realize that. But better late than never i guess. Happy practicing y´all :)

So the reminder to be patient, have fun, and slow down was exactly what I needed.

So could you please help me out here?

Hi Eric - I came across this lesson of yours (1st one i’ve ever watched of yours) after watching an old Dick Cavett interview with George Harrison from 11/23/71 lately I’ve burnt myself out from trying to be “too technical” with notes to play or not to play in any given key signature and as a result - lost some “feel” - it isn’t always about correct scale but letting go and feel …thank you for reminding me

Great message! I’m coming off a hella week of stress and need the calmness of just letting my brain shut down and focus on playing. I’m such a sucker for chord progressions. Gets me more excited than solos. Jayhawks songs always catch my ear. Working on one right now; All the Right Reasons. So great!

Great video, useful information for certain but the focus on the intangibles is perfect for me. Thanks!
