I have just completed the Acoustic Genius Series and would like to get some ideas of what I should do next. I haven't been playing guitar very long, but I have mastered scales, pentatonic patterns, and many chord progressions. What would be your recommendations for where I should go from here? Are there other packages out there that would benefit me? Appreciate any and all responses.
Hi Micha? welcome
I am a person that is very hungry to know things a bout the guitar and I have been through that series also(ones I think) so I know(and forgot a lot,grey memory) but there are Always things you remember,,and practice is a huge thing you must do..tapping your feet or with the metronome and slow Always slow or even slower.
I am here from the beginning and was a beginner(still 'm),, a big mistake I am into is that I am very distracked by all the song lessons but every lesson as a playing skill in them,,the best way is a few songs,lets say 3..songs that you want to learn and stick with it,,so when i would start all over I would go for ''per lesson''.
I think as a guitarist you want to master some playing skills,,strumming,,fingerpickin,focus strumming,,lead playing..etc
Beatles songs have a lot in them..lets say ''blackbird''-''and I love her''
Blackbird the way Neil teaches is for getting your thumb moving and in shape for other songs..and its a nice song..
And I love her,,well strumming is here the case,,but also pickout some riff and instrumental(lead) notes,,this song have some bar-chords in them but not so difficult,,and there is a second guitar involved(fingerpickin).
If you are a fan,,have a look at Neil Young songs,, I believe Neil(our teacher) teaches them with a lot of focus/strumming..
Well I don't want to distrack you..hope you get from others some ideas,,
