If a guitar isn't in your hands what are you doing? No work doesn't count 😆 I guarantee a few of us have similar hobbies and passions. Share them down below. As always... I'll go first. For me it's cooking 🥘 I used to hate it and never do it. But I realized I had to eat everyday and decided to learn to make at least a few thing... Turned out once I got going it was really fun!

My friends and fellow guitar players. We have a transformation to celebrate today. @Karen Anne Groothedde joined Guitar Gym Pro August 27 of this year and has shattered all expectations. She had started learning a few chords here and there, but was still struggling to change chords and strum at the same time. But, she jumped straight into the lessons, attended just about every Live Q-A, and has been the biggest fan and support to everyone in the group. I am absolutely blown away by her progress in just a short amount of time. In the video below your going to see what every guitar teacher dreams of. Their student playing live on stage doing what they love. So today join me in celebration of one heck of a transformation and one heck of a guitar player and awesome person! If you’re ready for results like this, a teacher who is actually there for you, and a support network of dedicated guitar players. Join us inside Guitar Gym Pro and let’s make your dreams a reality.

How are you finding the new "Guitar Break" email series? I want it to be something useful and valuable for you - not just nonsense in your inbox 😆 Answer the poll below ⬇️ and let me know your thoughts in the comments ❗️

I get this question…A LOT. For professional musicians it’s easy, its how they make a living. So it’s not hard to make it a priority. But what about everyone else?? I’m sure everyone of you would love nothing more than to have all the time in the word, zero distractions, and perfect practice sessions. But that is not reality is it? So what can you do? Let’s break it down. 1️⃣ Time. Finding time is crucial often times the best time is early before the day steals away your time. You don't need an hour. 15 or 20 minutes is plenty. And even in seasons when you're extremely busy, taking just two or three minutes here and there as you pass your guitar during the day is going to keep you making progress or maintaining your gains instead of forgetting a lot of what you've learned. 2️⃣ Planning As the saying goes “Those who fail to plan, plan to fail” just picking a time the night before can drastically increase the odds you’ll practice. And if you know exactly what you're going to play when you practice, even if it's just noodling for fun or trying something new, you're going to be able to hit the ground running the second you have a moment to pick up your guitar. 3️⃣ Enjoyment There is a time for drilling and exercising but the focus should always be fun. If it’s not, time to change things up. "If it's not fun, you're doing it wrong" - ancient Guitar Gym Pro proverb 4️⃣ Little and often Just 15 minutes 4 times a week is better than a Saturday marathon. And just 5 minutes a day is better than 40 once a week. The most important thing is that you commit to yourself that you are a guitar player. If you take the guitar out of the case and you play it, then you are a guitar player. The path may be different than you think. It may be windier, it may be longer, but you are a guitar player.
