What Music Led You To Guitar?
I was scrolling in the am drinking coffee and just enjoying what I was seeing. That’s when I came upon this old band and instantly remembered why I play guitar….. 🔥 Maybe not for everyone but this type or raw. unadulterated, percussive chug and thunder! What got you into guitar? I’d love to see and hear from you all in our community. Been quiet 🤷♂️ https://www.instagram.com/reel/DX3a-X7I7aw/?igsh=MWNheTR4dmloOHdjNQ==

@Alexander Muell I listened to Clocks (forgot about that song) and yes it’s 1/8 notes, but it has a rhythm on top of those 1/8 notes which makes it seem/feel more swing than straight! I try and practice accenting almost everyday. Goal is to accent wherever and whenever I want(w/o thinking about). That’s for the song reference!👍

@Alexander Muell yes, I was mentioning how accents can give the impression of the pulse having almost another beat on top of the main rhythm. Man, I remember in school we had to do the entire rhythmical pyramid at 80bpm. Seems simple until I started trying it. Teacher was tough bc every beat was counted so if you missed one or late - fail - do again… 😳 but it taught me how to play around with rhythmic values by adding accents. Thanks for your post.

Spice up your Pentatonics - w/ John Mayer
I started messing around with this and thought I'd share will others in the community. I've heard and learned here and elsewhere about the tonal center and how to look at it like a solar system. Place each planet as a mode, intervals, scales and relationships, a lot. https://youtu.be/00pQ4yFn0Bw?si=lWcRruw1W3EIgoK4

Driving Exercise - How long can you stay on the road
I started incorporating this exercise into my daily practice routine. Start on any key and drive around the fretboard as long as you can stay in that key. Notes or chords up to you but don’t miss the pulse beat 😬 Couple of rules; 1: must stay with the pulse(metronome needed)while driving around the fretboard 2 must at least play half-notes but using subdivisions is necessary just not the entire drive 3.try and incorporate what you can be it scales, dom7 arpeggios, chord tones, modes, …. Another kool one which is similar with the exception of positional play. I started out with Gmaj and went up three frets to E and that built my walls. You must find the remaining chords (can use triads) in diatonic order. Gmaj-Am-Bm-CMaj-DMaj-Em-F#dim. BUT you cannot go outside the wall! Try and out and comment on if you liked it, thought it was difficult, thought it was easy, what was the biggest challenge or what mistake was repetitive - if any. I know we have a lot of people who’ve been playing 20+ yrs. So even your comments would be extremely helpful to all of us. Thanks in advance for participating 🤘

@Cary Bynum that was a great interview! Very off-the-cuff realism that certainly resonated w/ me! When people (teachers, students, instructors, life !) along my journey kept telling me “ Slow down “! it wasn’t just rushing thru an exercise; it was slow down as in control or achieving control in every aspect of music. I’m grateful for staying with it because meeting people like you make the highs even higher and the lows ; well not so bad and more of “I went thru that!” Or “ yeah, me too! That’s what I remember in the classroom. To me that was absolutely the best experience money can’t buy! Sharing and caring about others which actually takes the internal focus off yourself.😎🤷♂️👍 Hope you are growing and thriving on your gtar. Best Michael M.

@Cary Bynum great to hear back from you. My playing is coming along finally! I’ve really focused on playing with grace vs. chaotic energy. lol I’ve been in a vocal academy and a rhythm academy for a while. Actually the rhythm school’s instructor Dave Smith was Robert Plant’s drummer for 9yrs. Great guy! How about you? What have you been working on?
