Not sure if I qualify as a "real" guitarist, I'll have to ask one of my imaginary playmates and get back to you, however.... "can you point me to the for me not so obvious holes in my method?" ...
To OP. I'm practicing All of Me now. When its finished, the world will bend all their knees! .. not. But there is that 3rd option, just play what feels right. If it sounds lame, then try...
Here's how I would get a rock/blues player started on changes if I were starting from the beginning: 1) Learn 7th chord arpeggios and be able to play them through a tune. I would start with the...
This is not New York or west coast and prices adjusted for this, it even works when pricing a guitar to sell locally. In the midwest we do have Chicago 2 hours away but, in the cornfields, we cannot...

Interesting video but I don't think the strap button should be that high up. It creates a bad angle when wearing the guitar. Also the block, although having to be narrow, should have been longer to...
I don’t know about all that. This is conceptually pretty simple. Four arpeggios that work on the dominant. Dominant played relative to the dominant as written, m3 up, and tritone up. Boom...
Some current 19-inch offerings: Moll offers a 19 inch The New Yorker I came close to grabbing a used one, but it was overseas, so I passed. Triggs is known for making excellent Stromberg...
