Love playing guitar and singing, mostly just chords, there’s a few “trickier” songs that I’ve worked through with finger-picking.
But I just feel like I can’t be bothered with exercises in scales and rhythm and think it holds me back.
Has anyone else just skipped the exercises and feel like they’re a competent guitarist? Any YouTubers I should check out?
In a way I think it’s made harder by being “intermediate” as it’s difficult to see where to go next.
In my experience you need a goal to force progress. Ie. Play on a stage / play infront of someone.
Yeah, I think having a goal of learning songs of a certain difficulty level, and be able to play them in front of an audience is a good motivator for improvement.
I’ve been on the hunt for a good open-mic night near me, surprisingly few in Sydney. :(
