Get Un-Stuck On Electric Guitar
Do you ever wonder how some people manage to play the guitar so effortlessly?
Eric Clapton’s practice secret…
I was 14 years old and watching Eric Clapton play the guitar.
Watching him play lit a fire up inside my brain. I was so excited to play myself.
So I picked up the guitar and tried to copy why I ‘d just seen.
*Clunk, clink, scratch*
I did not sound good… at all…
I was so sure I was doing exactly was he was doing..
But I couldn’t even make Wonderful Tonight (one of his simplest songs) sound good.
And worse…
Andreas, our electric Guitar Student performing recently from our school :)
I couldn’t really improvise at all…
Where he would go off on a soulful and emotional solo… I would have to learn it NOTE BY NOTE…
I felt like I wasn’t really saying anything with my playing.
Just copying Eric Clapton…
I was like a parrot...
I knew the words, but I had no idea how to SAY anything…
Just repeating the same riffs and phrases copied from other guitarists. I struggled to create something original.
And then when it came to actually playing with other people, well.. that definitely like an impossible dream that maybe I will achieve one day…. in the very distant future…
How did I overcome all of this and actually get good at playing the guitar now?
Why Is Learning to Play The Guitar Hard?
Common frustrations with learning how to play electric guitar
You may have been using materials that are not right for you. Searching for content on the internet, only to find them conflicting and confusing to say the least.
Practising wrong. So many of our students ask us to fix their bad habits. Well it’s much easier to do it if we don’t develop them originally.
You may be going about it the wrong way. You may be learning things that are just not that useful for you.
Are you being too ambitious? It’s hard to know how long it should take to get good at things, so it’s easy to get overwhelmed on your own. Or bored with learning the same thing over and over again.
You've learnt techniques, but don't know how to use it. You've learnt a lot of great things. But when it comes to putting it all together… it all falls apart.
If it’s one thing that we are good at - it’s putting things together for you. Whether that’s helping you bring all your guitar playing ideas and techniques together, or guiding you in the right direction.
On top of that, we are also good at training you on the right techniques, which is so important for electric guitar. No one likes sloppy, messy guitar playing. :)
See how some of our students are getting on right now:
