Just some fun silly stuff, do your worst😅

I got a question in a recent live stream what I think of YT videos with names like "8 Minutes To 367% Better Playing!". Spolier Alert: Not a big fan 😬 https://youtu.be/5qxs67xjqU0

For years I posted a huge amount of material on Patreon that never went anywhere else. Technique lessons. Practice systems. Deep dives. Exercises. Tabs. Over time it turned into a large archive of more than 500 lessons. Most people in the Practice Room actually don’t even know it exists. Right now my main focus is building the Practice Room and the intensives, but the Patreon archive is still there and it’s packed with material you can work through for months. So I decided to do something simple. For the next 7 days only, members here can get 50% off the first month or the first year on any Patreon tier. Use this code: C2A76 Join here: https://www.patreon.com/c/jonbjork If you want a large backlog of lessons you can dig through at your own pace, this is a good time to grab it. After one week the code disappears.

The biggest difference between the clearly fit people and the not-so-fit ones isn’t effort. It’s how deliberate they are. If you’ve gone to the same gym for a while, you see the same people over and over. There’s usually a group that’s always on the bikes or stairmasters. Easy to recognize because… they never really change. Some people are there to work out. The fittest people are there to train. And I’m not trying to shame anyone who gets their ass to the gym regularly. That alone is commendable. I’ve spent plenty of years just “working out” myself before I understood the difference. Training is actually easier in many ways. I don’t leave the gym completely smashed like I used to. I know exactly what exercises I’m doing, how heavy I need to go to progress from the last session, how long to rest, and when to stop. It’s specific. It’s targeted. Since I started training instead of just working out, I’ve gotten better results in less time. Huge win-win. I feel better day to day because I’m not grinding myself into dust every session just to feel like I did something. This applies perfectly to guitar and music. If you pick up the instrument and play for an hour, that’s fun and good for the soul. But it won’t produce anywhere near the same results as practicing with a clear plan and a specific goal. Playing is activity. Practicing is training. You can — and SHOULD — play for fun every day. But you’ll have way more fun doing that after a productive practice session, because you’ll actually be able to do more on the instrument.

Hi everyone! I hope you’re having a great time. Just joined the VIP of our classroom and would like to set some starting stone here. I believe it will be easier to track the progress in future. There are two videos attached. Both contain same Vinnie’s Moore - The Thinking Machine intro: - First is me playing in comfort tempo without mistake and with some acceptable control level - Next is 75% of original tempo, but I already loosing any control on fingers and accuracy I would like to get any feedback that you believe will help me to grow and be more effective in my training. Feel free to be as straightforward as you want. P.S.: I’m trying to practice 30-60m every day, but can skip 1-3 days without any reason (work). Mostly doing 3NPS routine which was available for free, and playing some riffs I like to learn
