    It takes a certain amount of humility to put yourself out there like this and show people that you can always learn more or be better. Thanks for the video Ola!

    Took private lessons with Jon for about a year. Such a huge impact on my technique. I still thank him to this day. Thanks Jon!!

    I cannot say enough how important minimizing the amount of excess movement and pressure is, which Jon touches on very well. How hard do you need to fret? Just hard enough. How hard do you need to pick/pluck? Just hard enough. Any more is just a waste of energy and time, and will slow you down. Great video.

    This is great! A lot of us get to a certain point in our playing where ego stops you from reaching out to other players or teachers. I try to remind myself about Randy Rhoads and how he would seek out guitar teachers when he was on the road. Always learning is the key. This was a great reminder in humility.

    I practice first thing in the morning, then I start my day, without practice I question my whole existence. When people say I don’t have time, get up an hour earlier and make that hour time to practice. Awesome to see Jon on hear I’ve learned so much from him, excellent teacher and musician. Excellent questions Ola!!

    First, Ola thanks for introducing many of us to Jon. I am doing his video exchange students and he has given me so much to work on. He gave me that first exercise he is showing here and it did a MASSIVE amount for my timing.

    I stopped regular guitar lessons about a almost a year ago as I couldn't afford it and tried to carry on by teaching myself with online stuff. When Ola advertised one of Jon's courses on his patreon I thought I'd give it ago and I found it super helpful for having structured learning and practice again. Thanks Jon

Plan an adventure and you and your lady friend eliose is it ? Just go for it. Hire some dude named Jack to run things while you guys are away. Take care of yourself. Remember, us fans want you to stick around and keep be you man. Amazing. But ya gotta step aside once in a while and clear the mind. 🍻

    1. Great video, thanks Ola!
    2. Never heard of this dude before, but damn, that dude is super clean.
    3. His exercises today reminded me of what most classical musicians know from their “hanon” books (piano hanon, flute hanon…there’s a guitar hanon out there)
    4. I saw a vid with Devin Townsend and that opera vocal teacher chick that does reaction videos, and she said something very profound:
    You have to approach your instrument the way you approach your marriage (or anything in life you care about) and set aside time daily for that thing. Tending it the way you would a garden.
    So Ola, if you are burnt out at the end of the day, DONT practice at the end of the day, make practice part of your morning routine, THEN do your work, then go home and play video games knowing you gave your playing the attention it deserves. Shit, shower, shave, breakfast, coffee, practice, exercise, THEN work. If there’s no time for video games at end of day, at least you did the shit that matters.
    Youre the boss of your own company bro, pretty sure you can make your own schedule:)

      Love the garden analogy, playing an instrument is definitely something that needs to be nurtured and maintained in that way. And when you pay it the right attention it blooms.

    Regarding ear training - I'm profoundly deaf and it's hard for me to pick out the subtle things normal hearing folk could. Sadly, I'm reliant on tab/tutorials especially for more complex songs. Is there a way to speed up learning songs with this hurdle in the way?

  • @mattevans8076
    @mattevans8076 6 місяців тому

    So if you're counting 8 and playing 6 notes, it's just math 24/8=3 & 24/6=4. You would do the 8 count 3 times and play the 6 note sequence 4 times each time the 1 would land on a different note within the 6 note sequence starting on the 1st note, then the 3rd, then the 5th, and back to the 1 the starting the sequence over again.
