    Thanks, very nice map! I think I've already learned a good portion of every level, but this helps a lot to fill the gaps. I suppose the order of what you learn depends a lot on what you want to play. Example: I've learned arpeggios quite early as this is a pretty fundamental concept in the world of classical guitar. But of course, you can always go deeper and deeper on every level/topic.

    The "your guitar should make you excited to play" part is sooo important. I got a guitar purely for fun because I really wanted to learn. Not with any aspirations to get awesome and join a band or something, purely for sitting on the couch and strumming a bit, pulling some loops with the violin. If I don't look at my guitar and think "I really wanna play that" then it's wasted money. What is the point then. Why would I touch it.

    Hi, how do I prevent my wrist from hurting?? I feel like it's hard for my fingers to reach the strings on certain chords. Even if I can reach it, it's too close to the fret before it so it makes that buzzing noise. I also feel like bc my fingers are trying to reach the strings, it bends my wrist all weirdly

    I’m an adult student at the School of Rock (so I pay them, they don’t pay me! lol!). I highly recommend their adult band program. I’ve been playing in their bands for a year and a half now, and through the experience I now play the bass as well as sing. Every season you have two shows you’re preparing for: a mid-season and end of season show. We play all genres of music, from metal to prog rock and everything in between. The students are all at different levels, but you all improve with each other. There is no greater incentive to practice than knowing you have a gig coming up! There’s a School of Rock in practically every major city. I now have my own band as well as my school band…which I’m staying in because I keep learning so much! To me, being a musician means the goal is perform, and SOR (and programs like it) really move you quickly to that next level if you are willing to put in the work 👍

    So i just dont get why for example a minor pentatonic scale has 5 positions and it still called a minor when the root note is not A

    • @prorigami2444
      @prorigami2444 День назад

      The note you start the scale position on isn't called the root note. Am pentatonic has 5 notes A C D E G, there is a position for each note starting on the lowest string, however the root doesn't change as it is still Am and not Cm Dm etc..
