Feeling plateaued or stuck in your guitar journey? That’s a good sign!

It means you’re now ready to move on to the next step!

Especially if you’re over 40 and you’ve been playing on and off for a few years and tried to teach yourself.

It’s like hiking: you can go forward and explore new amazing landscapes, which takes more effort, or go back home and quit.

What does being stuck mean to you?

Perhaps you’ve had enough of playing the same songs, solos, and licks created by others?

Maybe you even tried creating your own music, but felt it didn’t go anywhere?

To solve it, I bet you started to learn more about the fretboard and music theory and got overwhelmed with modes, CAGED, and other methods.

Before sharing my solution to all of these, let me first say that it’s not your fault!

Free YouTube videos, FB groups, and low-priced online courses and books are tempting!

You can learn anything you want instantly and without spending a lot or nothing at all.

So why should you spend so much on guitar lessons with a teacher?

The difference between these learning options is not the money but the results. Let me explain…

The common issue with YT, FB, online courses, and books is that you watch them but they don’t watch you back (or watch your back…).

You have no one watching you play live!

If no one watches you play, no one can correct the mistakes and bad habits you might have gained.

No one answers your questions.

No one who cares about your progress and can direct you to the next level and how to get there.

In addition, videos, books and courses only provide information (and lots of it) but leave you alone to implement it.

That’s what guitar teachers and coaches are for...

They help you implement the knowledge straight away, which leads to faster results and satisfaction.

And like hiking - they are there for you to guide you along the way.

But if they only teach you other people’s music or music theory in a boring way, you’d feel that it’s not worth it.

And you’re right! If they do so, they teach you the same thing that led you to ask for their help in the first place…

So of course you’d want to go back to your videos, courses, and books...

But it doesn’t have to be this way!

The solution I’m offering is to learn how to compose music on your guitar.

Not many know this, but there are proven methods to master the fretboard and understand music theory by creating music.

Learning by creating is the most fun and effective way to implement and retain new knowledge

…and you end up with guitar music you can then record and share with pride!

Unfortunately, there are only so many guitar teachers who know how to teach music creativity - improvisation and composition.

But it’s a topic that anyone can learn!

I spent a few decades learning and teaching guitar creativity, including 2 years of extensive research in music psychology.

All this knowledge I share in my academy - the art of solo guitar composition.

I’m looking for 3 more guitar players who are passionate about levelling up their guitar playing and reaching their full potential as creative and expressive guitarists in the next 3 months.

Are you in? Comment and I’ll reach out with all the details

It was nice to see the great response to my latest short video.

It was about ascending the guitar fretboard with only 2 chords and creating interesting music with them: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1044615780708969

After posting it, I took a few weeks off to spend quality time with my family, traveling around England with its beautiful nature - mountains, forests, beaches, and of course glorious ruins of castles.

I didn’t take a guitar with me. I think it’s important to take breaks from it sometimes.

Do you know what I mean? That moment when you pick it up again, and it sounds better than you remembered...?

See my summer holiday look in the photos below 😃

I came back energised and now have big plans for the coming months.

I plan to post more regular guitar tutorials - let me know what topic you’d like me to cover and I’ll create it!

In September, I offer a new 12-week programme for beginners or self-taught guitarists who have some foundation gaps they need to fill.

The plan is to master every item from this checklist which I believe every guitarist should know.

I highly recommend going over it - even if you're an advanced guitarist (at least, to feel good with yourself!).

You can download a printable PDF of it from this link: https://www.udiguitar.com/valuable-guitar-resources/

Finally, these are the next lessons I’m going to teach as part of my guitar composition academy:

1. This Thursday (22 August, 9pm BST): Find your Unique Guitar Technique.

2. This coming Monday (26 August, 9pm BST): Rhythmic Guitar Variations - make your music more interesting.

3. Next Thursday (29 August, 9pm BST): Creative Guitar Fingerstyle Masterclass.

If you'd like to join any of these exciting live sessions for a special price - comment below.

There are more exciting things ahead - stay tuned.

Are you a guitar beginner who wants to advance to the next level?

I’ve made this (updated) checklist so that once you tick and master every item you can call yourself an intermediate guitar player 👍🙂🎸

You can use this to learn everything on your own and it shouldn’t take more than 12 weeks if you’re serious about it and have about 45 minutes a day to practise.

But if no one is watching you play, there’s a high probability that you’re adopting bad habits.

I say it from experience. For example, in 22 years of teaching, I have seen countless self-taught guitarists who have been using unnecessary force and thought that their pain is part of the process. 😢

But the only pain guitarists (with no medical conditions) have to face is at the tips of the fingers after pressing the strings and that usually goes away after about 1-2 weeks (Callus). Any other pain can cause a health concern.

Getting rid of bad habits and gaining healthier ones wastes precious time. That’s why I’m thinking of opening a new programme that will cover all this checklist and will transform you into an intermediate confident guitarist.

I'm hopeful that many people agree with me here in this guitar group discussion. But not everyone...

Can an app replace learning from a human?

Even if so, it'll miss what music is about: connection and communication between people on an emotional level.

These are some of the chords I usually prescribe - for moments when we need to quiet the mind and get some peace.

There's nothing wrong with playing other people's music 🙃

But there is a but...

My "but" is - as long as you don't feel stuck playing other people's music.

I used to learn from TAB books and from listening to and studying other guitarists, from SRV to Vai.

But at one point, I realised that I sounded exactly like everyone else!

It was the same bluesy pentatonic licks, Hendrix's playing style, same bending techniques...

Then I decided that it was time to find my own voice, sound, and style.

It took me a few years of experimenting until I felt I reached it.

Since then, I discovered more new ways of playing the guitar, that are less common.

And it's a never-ending journey...

The reason why I'm telling you all this is to let you know that -

If you feel stuck playing music that's not original or exciting enough for you - there's a way out.

You can find your own thing!

And you know what, the guitar world needs new music and new ways of creation on the guitar.

Am I write, or am I right? 🎸🙂

Are you ready to start your self-discovery journey and find your own guitar voice and sound and your own music style?

I was amazed to see what the most common emotion is when people play guitar!

I felt really inspired by it so decided to create a new mini-guitar course 😃

The current title is "Find Your Inner Guitar Peace" 🎸 and it's about applying 10+ practical ways to elevate calmness by playing and creating music with your guitar (and making significant progress along the way...).
