    My tip for any intermediate guitarist is to try and start learning songs by ear as soon as possible, it might be really difficult in the beginning but it’s about the most useful skill in music in general and really helps you later on with your phrasing in your solos! If you’re getting the hang of it learning new songs start to get really really easy!

    In contrast to the last one, over time, slowly start using your ear to figure out songs. Eventually, you'll build up the brain to figure songs out with hearing it a few times and some fiddiling. But certainly use both! As he said, free and easy, mine as well do it.

    The calluses are something that you build but can be less painful if you have a good guitar. Ask and investigate the action on the guitar. That is the height between the string and the neck. If it takes a lot of effort to press the string to get a clean, clear sound, do not get that guitar. You should be able to make a nice clean, clear sound without trying to push your fingers through the neck.

    If you press to hard it will also break your strings and wear down your frets faster, especially if they are nickle silver and you are pressing too hard on the low strings.

    And don’t forget: the plural of “tablature” is… tablature, not “tablatures. So it follows that the plural for the short form is just “tab”.
    Kinda like the plural of “vinyl” is “vinyl”.

    • @RedlightBlue
      @RedlightBlue  29 днів тому

      Yes…. no
      But it’s something to be mindful of more than super practical advice. You can take faster showers at cooler temps, or if you reaaalllly wanted you could toss a plastic bag on your hand like you would if it was in a cast.
      You’ll eventually get callouses regardless but little things can make a big difference in how fast it happens

    I think that last tip is good but shouldn't be totally followed. I think especially with rhythm training e.g being able to get a strumming pattern down instantly is a necessary skill. Like some years ago when I was learning Everlong. The strumming pattern for that famous riff was kind of weird and the guy in the video was explaining it in detail. In the end I found it easier and more beneficial to just learn the strumming pattern by ear
