I work in mining and my schedule is like: 60 days of 12-hour working shifts in a row (every day is working day) and then I have 30 days off. And I DO have time to practice at the end of the day after shift. Yes, I bring my guitar here to the middle of nowhere (there’s literally nothing but a taiga forest for 60 kilometres around) and play it after shift is over. I’m making progress even. Honestly I wasn’t as determined in my university years because there was a lot of stuff going on in my head changing every day, I was pretty overwhelmed with everyday things. Now with a work like that when every day is the same as the others, playing guitar is a relief that helps me keeping my sanity.
Keep Rockin I hope something really cool happens for you, opening up more free time for you, and a greater provision of resources for you and your family. God Bless
just finished watching. I feel personally attack by this video hahahaha. Man i gotta watch less youtube and practice more. I always find myself watching more videos about practicing than actually picking up the guitar, so I feel directly connected with a bunch of topics you mentioned. This video is really necessary and you nailed it. This was very motivational.
Thanks Giuseppe! I recently discovered your channel man. Thank you so much, your content and philosophy to guitar and practice has completely changed my mindset and direction in terms of music. Cheers!
About talent,... Like you I am not that sure on this but as of right now I am more leniant on thinking that talent doesn't exist but it's a wrong translation of you just spent a lot of time playing (maybe when you are young, when the mind is more plastic a you learn a lot faster) and/or (most likely and) you were born in a very music centric environment which influenced your thoughts on music (like Mozart, ok fk genius but he was born in a musicians family, a more moder example of this is Jacob collier for example, a fk genius but still son of musicians always had instruments at hand since he was very little), but dunno, still open to be corrected on this
I'd actually argue "talent" is quite real, but it just represents an individual's natural affinity towards something, be that music, sports etc. A "more talented" musician will get where they're going faster than a "less talented" one just because it's a bit easier for them. Maybe they have a better feel for rhythm, maybe it's finer motor control, or a fantastic memory for theory, maybe it's all of the above. You have a good point about neuroplasticity being a factor, but I think the bigger difference when starting young is the amount of free time and energy you have, energy being very important to being motivated to progress in anything. A lot of people just bundle all that into "talent" and voilà, you have the meme that the best in anything are the most talented ones at it.
facts, like for example i used to play tennis a lot when i was a kid, and stopped playing for years, then i started playing again and i still "got it" and you are right about kids being raised in a musical environment
In russian there is one word that contain all "secret guitar techniques". This word is "ЖОПОЧАСЫ". You said about that but this word is more succinct than most discussions on this topic)))
Excellent video, I appreciated the brutal honestly. The idea of spending more time with your guitar and connecting with the instrument is what spoke to me the most. When it comes to spending more time playing the guitar and focusing, I recommend that everyone learn how to set-up their guitars. This includes: - Changing the strings. - Wiping down the body/conditioning the fretboard. - Setting the neck relief, the string height at the bridge AND the nut, the pickup height, and the intonation. - Experimenting with string gauges to find the feel that you prefer at each tuning/scale length. (I use Stringjoy custom sets) *BONUS - Learning how to repair and mod your guitar (fret leveling/crowning/polish, swap pickups, etc) Learning the basics of a setup to get your guitar playing/feeling exactly how you want is an incredible feeling. You wont trust anyone with your guitars more than yourself, and you wont pay anyone to do what you can learn in an afternoon. You will spend more time with your guitar, you will be more motivated to master it, and you will often catch yourself picking it up to stare at it. I believe that bonding with your instrument will naturally lead you through a process similar to what Giuseppe has outlined in the video. Have fun everyone!
Aqui, una maestría en la psicología del músico, yo creo Giuseppe que este video lo deberían ver todos los guitarristas al menos una vez al día. Es muy bueno, saludos desde Buenos Aires
I like your point of view towards music. And especially the point when you said what Guthrie Govan said, the important is the journey and not the destination and this is truly magical with music, it is a never ending journey and there is not a destination...
*i don't have time* *is literally sitting her watching a 35 minute video instead of practicing*

I got called out, but I appreciate it.
I second that
same
Extremely offended, needed that
so basically this video is a itemized list of pit falls not a video about how to anything on guitar
These videos are such a breath of fresh air from the “secret trick that will take you to the next level” BS that we get force fed
Thank u
giuseppe always on point in the upload time, right on my lunch break!

Loving the content, only came across you recently. Similar vibes to Claus Levin who I follow a lot for advice. Thank you for a great video😊
Your videos are really inspiring to watch, man!! Thanks for all the advise
You are a God for this video man. I play everyday with varying hours but I always skip out on the metronome or the composition and theory stuff.
Great vid, alot of people need to hear this message for how to improve a skill. Not even just Guitarists!
