The sheer volume of information online makes it almost impossible to organize! This lesson is the culmination of all my years teaching, designed to cut through the fluff and tell you exactly what you need to practice to get better—for real! I'm not joking: in this video, I lay out the 5 Essential Skill Categories you must practice to see significant improvement on your instrument. This lesson won't sugarcoat things. I show you the real-world ways to improve and provide realistic goals, mindsets, and a clear method for structuring your practice for the best possible results. Lessons like this are essential reminders about our habits and attitudes toward improvement. 💪 Channel Sponsors (affiliate links): Stringjoy guitar strings: I play the broadway pure nickel's and you can buy those here: https://stringjoy.com/guitarstrings/s...
