    Mark knopfler in one interview said, "Hey I understand it's a bottomless pit the amount that's out there to done and to learn (with guitar), I'm only doing what I dig" This confirms your point. Thank you for this great clip.

    Beginner: I want to start playing guitar.
    Intermediate: I want to get better at playing guitar
    Advanced: Shut up and play yer guitar.

    I seem to remember reading somewhere that Steve Vai wanted to be the best in the world at all guitar styles. He soon gave up on that when he realised it’s impossible.

    Your narrative strikes me as very sensible. For example, I have played for 5 decades, and can compose interesting pieces like solo acoustic chord melodies with incorporated bass lines, multipart songs with vocals, etc. However, I haven't learned to produce a pleasant (rock or blues) vibrato on electric guitar, play clean power chords, harp harmonics, speed over 450 npm, etc. In my experience finding an effective, accessible teacher and targeted "curriculum" presents a significant challenge, particularly for rock and other contemporary electric guitar styles.

    When I hear a guitar player call themselves intermediate, I think of the Princess Bride and Vizzini and I hear the voice of Inigo Montoya saying "You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means."

    good perspective, for me I don't ever use that, well, if you're a beginner, and you're still struggling with barre chords, yeah, that's a beginner, but from then on, there is no Intermediate, nor Advanced; it's just a straight forward journey to Mastery of the guitar.. even professionals, still travel that journey. You will never get there, because there is always something new to explore.. Oh, Btw, some of your interesting ways to create progressions are some of the best insprirations.. (ie m3 up, Maj3 down, up 4th, down 4th, and minor, major, augmented or diminshed triads.. still hard to wrap my head around that, but it's really interesting, so is borrowing chords in parallel modes.. C Ionian, C Dorian.. etc.

    From the beginner level it took me 4 years to A) settle on what I want, B) be able to describe what it is. In the meantime I tried shredding and comping both 😀

    Thanks for for what you do Tommaso :) I have a question regarding what I do with the guitar, basically I'm a singer songwriter and therefore my practice on guitar has been learning all kinds of chords(extended, altered, inversions and different cool voicings) and how to use them to write unique chord progressions and rhythmically I've been exploring syncopations and common odd time signatures like 5/8,7/8, 7/4 etc.to spice up my accompaniments and songs but I've never paid any attention to lead playing/improvising and feel like I'm missing out but I'm not sure if it's possible to do that as well together with the singer/songwriter thing and if there's a need for me to "balance" this. I would really appreciate if you could enlighten me based on whatever little introduction I could give here :) Thankyou, Vin

      So I watched the whole 13 minutes.... I got excited at 7:08 because it looked like you were going to play, but you didn't. So essentially you could have done this video without a guitar around your neck?

    Setting goals is the biggest problem I have. There are too many things I want to learn for one lifetime, let alone the limited amount of time I have left. And if I choose to work on one thing, I'm implicitly choosing to *not* work on all the other things. And it's hard to give up on things I really want to learn. But then, since I haven't set any goals, I end up going nowhere.

    • @MusicTheoryForGuitar

      Write down ALL the goals you have, then start ordering them from most important/desired to less important/desired. Even just getting an idea of what you want will help you a lot in deciding how to use your time.
