I play the guitar but I am not a "guitarist" (at least I don't think I am.). It may be petty but it's something I believe to be true.

Anyway, I guess I'll put the soapbox away now...sorry :oops: :oops: !

You say you don't know what a shuffle is...well I have no clue as to what tremlo picking is? So I guess it truely is subjective as to where we should be at different times.

its just more rock and roll that way - i tell myself that anyway 8)

But the suggestions here to learn complete songs are very good ones I'd say. When I started playing those 5 min on a song felt like 15 min concentrating to get it “right' as best I could.

You might also try getting a “setlist” together for yourself at one point and run through all the songs you can play all at once almost like your own “concert” of course the more the songs get you'll split it up.
I found this helped because it kinda helps with “endurance” if you will. You'll get better and playing more songs correctly all the way through instead of going downhill after the 1st or second song.

Good Luck,

Jason Thanks Jason,

I knew when I wrote this post that we all learn at our own pace (heck I'm a teacher!). I also remember when I posted this same question at I think 6 months everyone told me the same. But as you know it at least eases my mind when I see others at the same level as as me even though they may be learning classical and me rock & blues. It's not really a comparison but more of a question "Am I learning what I should be learning?" I know we all hit those slumps and I have accepted that (not like when I first started here I would get all flustered about it!). Like I wrote earlier, I have hit the fork in the road and there are a million directions I can go...I just want to make sure I have the tools I need to go down ANY of those roads...no matter which one I choose.

Thanks (And thanks to you biker_jim_uk...I appreciate the response!)]]> Guitar Players Discussion Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/yes-its-that-time/paged/2/#post-174578 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/yes-its-that-time/paged/2/#post-174575 Tue, 02 May 2006 00:44:18 +0000

It looks like we started around the same time - it'll be a year for me at the end of June. This is all very subjective of course, but I thought it might help you to know that your list is strikingly similar to my own right down to the one pentatonic scale (also have only learned one pattern so far!) - although, I am having major issues with the A shaped bar chords :-)

I practice/play about an hour a day and get together with my other guitar-playing friends on a semi-regular basis and that tends to keep things interesting.

From my perspective I'd say you're moving right along...

Steed Thank you steeder! I started around July 4th so we are about the same. I truely do understand that this is all subjective but it feels good to know you're not alone. I just need to keep my personal life out of my guitar playing and I'll be fine.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/yes-its-that-time/paged/2/#post-174542 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/yes-its-that-time/paged/2/#post-174532 Mon, 01 May 2006 18:57:53 +0000
