Nice! Do you accept requests? I'd like to watch you play "Fast car". No need for a capo, transposed is fine.

This is very interesting, thank you! Me, I'm a shit player at 52 with a background in computer science and I absolutely loathe the industry. Currently teaching myself music theory and the craft via YT. It's a slow process, but I have time. I used to restring my guitar once per decade. Restringing is now a thing I do several times a year.

Let me tell you the story about Robert Johnson... This is ignorant idea that he went to the crossroads and sold his soul to the devil... Robert Johnson was from Mississippi and he was known to travel out west... My grandmother was born in the 1800s and she got married in Oklahoma Indian Territory but she was from Mississippi... In 1920 the University of Oklahoma's professor of music was a man named Frederick holmberg... Who wrote a book on elementary music theory that was published in 1920 that I have a 34 edition and mine is from 1950... It is not a magic book and he explains it from the beginning. But I will tell you this is the one kind of book that a man will get hold of and if he has the gumption it will change his life within the first 50 pages he will understand music and know how to play basically any simple stuff.... All the things that Berkeley teach you confound between him and a man named Ralph Fisher Smith who published another book in 1930.... What these two books in practice daily you do not need to go to any music school and you will see how ridiculous it is if you just spent $20 by these two books. There ain't nobody to goes to at your school they can tell me nothing about music and I taught it all to myself. Every single aspect... And it was 35 minutes a day for 5 years.... Frederick holmberg's book and a notepad and pencil... I use my library card to go to the library and check out all kinds of books on music theory and anything that I could find. What they teach you is just pimping you... There's a place in Atlanta called gallery 992 and if you are serious about learning to be a musician it's open every Sunday night for you to come jam and if you practice all week and you come in there and jam you will get better every week and that is what I've done and that's how I propagated myself to the position I am and what people know that I walk in the door it's going to be hot... And guaranteeing that you can make the crowd hot or you can really move people towards your music isn't something that the music school can teach you man... But I believe you know that

You haven't told us what you do for a living

I went for 3 semesters. Reality hit me hard once I realized I was nowhere near the level I needed to be so I enlisted in the Marines playing in the bands. I still have a small group of friends that were my roommates when I was living in Boston and I think that was worth it. 10 years later now and I feel like I could go through the school and not feel out of place but back then I just didn't feel good enough.

no schooling and i know more than most people that leave that school... not just jazz.. ever thing . country . flamenco. etc.... dont believe the hype of music schools.. good video partner...

Its encouraging to see you smiling. 😄

Nice!!!

Def an older 614ce!!

Sounds great. All of your vids

What guitar is this? Neck dive? Lightweight?

Did they teach you audiation in Berklee by any chance? And by audiation I mean ability to perform music in your mind while simultanously being aware/being in the know/understanding/utilizing the music theory. Inner hearing would be audiation without the latter part.

This was really well said. Thank you Ravi.

Is Berklee College of Music Worth It? It is if you want to learn the mechanics of playing music as a whole.

You should teach at Berklee, "the grind starts when you graduate."

Nice!!

Would i have a good shot if i did great on everything else but absolutely bomb the ear training? Ive been preparing as much as i possibly can but im worried about the ear training the most

😂Your going way too fast. Go to each string very slowly.

Hey Ravi! Good to see you!

hello ! i was wanting to learn this song, do you have a chord/tabs sheet and the strumming/picking pattern i can learn off of ? thank you !

respect, I'm at Berklee now and have already been teaching guitar for a while. Did you have John Baboian and Bruce Bartlett as your teachers? Did you master in song writing?

That didn't sound too convincing. I detect some doubt as to your choices. Good luck though, I hope things work out for you. It's tough when you are competing with people that were bread for that field and have parents that are already in that field to help and mentor them. They have a huge advantage.

Pls do an love and honesty tutorial

nice video man, thx :)

Went there around the same time as u! But i used all my money on the first 1.5 semesters lol. So i dipped and got lucky for a few years after with a record label and then transitioned into other things from there. I def would’ve linked w u if we crossed paths at school.

Hey thanks for being honest about your experience. I am wondering though that in the video you talk about how you had very little guitar knowledge prior to your attendance at Berklee, what did you know and what should have you known before going into it?

Hey Ravi, thank you for your insights and honesty. I am thinking of enrolling in Berkeley's Guitar's Skills classes. The tuition is $6k. What are your thoughts?

Took a Berklee tour in 2005. Just couldn’t see myself that much to learn the guitar, walking away thinking.

This video is amazing. Am wondering if I can find a tab for this ?

Just because someone finds a few pennies in the industry and/or happiness doesn't mean that it isn't one of the biggest scams going. All the real money goes to the schools and musical instrument/gear manufacturers as they prey on people's hopes. I say this as someone who has been around the block a few times.

11 years later...... in just 11 mins?

Just one question when we play our prepared piece how long it should be ( Like 1 minute long - 5 minute long ) also is it mandatory to submit the transcription of your prepared piece ???

Beautiful, Brother. My heart is melting.

😃 Happy New Year Ravi ! We miss you in Santa Cruz

Now that there's UA-cam, music schools are just a pure scam 😂

Thank you Sakoyana for your gift to the world!!!

Always such a joy to learn from your journey. Thank you for sharing Ravi. 💛💙💚

Thanks for being brutally honest about your experience. ❤

Excellent performance 👍

Very nice maybe someday I hope to play that but not today lol. Great job 👏

So sweet and lovely Ravi. As always. Thank you for sharing your love with the world 💙💜

Luv ♥U ♫Ravi ☻

Great work Mr.Ravi! It sounds soo good. And actually, tommor i will start my adventure with my first ukulele. I'll try this one on my ukulele. Wish me luck!

Very interesting story, thank you for sharing that. Greetings from Ukraine!

I greatly respect those that follow their dreams and go to art/music school. To me, the ROI is just never there. You'll spend $200k and four years of your life to (most likely) make less than an electrician or plumber. Not to mention the crazy competition and lack of job security. I chose a career that doesnt interest me much (engineer), and it gives me enough time and money to enjoy my interests as hobbies. As much as I like the choice I made, I still envy those that took the riskier, and in a way, more challenging path.

great cover, love this Taj song. Good work Ravi

I've heard your playing, you should ask for a refund.

Amazing! Very nice

Lovely.

Going to Berklee is great if you want to make unlistenable soulless drivel like Tyler Larson.
