I think it depends on what one's goals are as a guitar player. For a long time, I was only interested in playing metal guitar. I wanted to be able to play Van Halen and speed metal. That's what I enjoyed. And that is what I did. I didn't care that I didn't have any campfire songs. If there was a guitar around and someone wanted me to play, I'd explain that I don't play that kind of guitar and I'd politely decline. As it turns out, all that technical practice gave me an excellent platform from which to diversify and eventually develop a campfire song repertoire.

this is a vital reminder that yes sometimes getting your backside onto the seat can be difficult.The point is, nothing ventured nothing gained. fairly regular practice if only for 15 minutes is the secret. Sometimes my playing of songs does improve simply by not OVERPRACTICING, maybe by taking a 2 or 3 days break. Amazingly this works good for me, as the stress has disappeared and confidence ensues..even with that, I try to practice at least 6 hours a week. Thanks for posting this Justin

I really enjoyed the "Dreamers" section, Justin. Like you said, "Have a go." Just learning bits and pieces of tougher songs is fun and it makes you a better player. For years I avoided trying to learn more "difficult" songs because I'd have trouble figuring out alternate tunings, intricate chord shapes, and so on. Lately, I've jumped in (with a lot of help from tutorials on KZfaq) and I'm now MUCH more comfortable having a go at more complex songs. Learning even a tiny bit of theory helps as well.

Fun story. I wanted to learn Dear Prudence for decades and couldn't wrap my brain around the fingerpicking. Blackbird was no problem because it was "fake" fingerpicking, but Dear Prudence was beyond me. I would try periodically but it never clicked. Decades later, watched a lot of Tommy Emmanuel and got curious enough to look up proper techniques, but didn't have a specific song in mind. Stumbled onto Doc Watson giving a little lesson and playing Deep River Blues. He mentioned "Travis Picking". I decided I wanted to learn Deep River Blues. Did some research on Travis picking and stumbled into a couple basic exercises for the pattern as well as Freight Train by Elizabeth Cotton. Could not and still cannot wrap my fingers around Freight Train but noticed that the basic Travis picking pattern sounded awfully familiar. Pulled out the big white Beatles songbook and looked up Dear Prudence for the intro fingerings. Within an hour I had it down. Within another day I figured out that Julia and Happiness is a Warm Gun used the exact same pattern. During a short interlude I realized that Dust in the Wind by Kansas uses almost the same pattern. Applied the same pattern to a bunch of songs I knew that don't use that pattern including original songs just to see if they would work. Some did. Still haven't sat back down to finish Freight Train. Tried picking up Deep River Blues but haven't been able to get it at all. But... ... I can play Dear Prudence now. And Dust in the Wind and Julia.

Well there are many guitar tutors out there on you tube I settled on 4 to help me and here's why .....1. The first 3 easy songs I learned was stand by me - Ben e king ....wonderwall (like everyone).....and Wild thing - troggs and I using a guy called Andy gutar who I reccomend to anyone to start off with ....However I was bored fingers were falling off and going through tough times in lock down and was gunna give up on everything and then came across this country music guy called Matt who said dont give up ....so I picked up the guitar again learned the cowboy cords and this helped simplify everything develop my struming dynamics using rythem and timing over the more structured down up down up robotic stuff and things started to sound better and different I began voicing the guitar and am enjoying learning different strumming patterns learned lots of intro's to songs and I recomend him to any starter (starter only) but he's a really nice guy.....3 Development stuff you gotta try new stuff - finger picking is hard so I am trying Elvis Cant help falling in love as you can finger pick and strum this song and its slow enough to learn I reccomend a guy called Marty @Marty gutar who is a fantastic coach - muting I am still developing but learned - stuck in the middle with you steelers wheel going back to Andy guitar it was a great lesson.... Songs really i wanna learn you just gotta find someone who's good at teaching it - Angie ....Rolling stones just looked on line found some girl playing it and am following her - for goo goo dolls iris I found someone - re tuned guitar as he said but blew the high e string...Then I found you and am learning this open corded instead and blowers daughter Damian Rice currently I think you are and excellent tutor. Not confident enough with guitar yet - still like crunching the gears a bit struggle going from G to F bar cords and the B sus 4 but enjoying learning every day - and I think a little practice every day is essential for muscle memory on the cords which ... a great 20 mins here and there a few times a day is better than once a week for hours till your fingers drop off Sticking with these guys and feel guilty not paying for it ...will donate to them all if I ever master this....some guys are way too advanced a guy called steve teaches music theory stuff but he simplify's things a lot and knows a lot of short cuts - very knowledgable some of the others are a bit hard to listen to for long and some (play or teach a song) but it sounds nothing like the song lol.. Anyway this is my journey its kept me going through tough times and am enjoying it more and more - I want to split song practice with developing technique - throwing in a few of these more difficult songs is helping - but freeing the neck up triads caged system and penatonic scales can wait for the moment I can be confident to say I play guitar. I want to get a bit more comfy - I should try some scales n stuff soon - start splitting song pracice with techiques. Simply to much info to take in at once but I should persist - I struggle singing and playing at the same time but hopefully it will come....Anyway thanks for the lessons ....

Fantastic. You’ve summed up in 20 minutes what it’s taken me 20 or 30 years to figure out. Your wisdom about practicing guitar easily applies to piano/keyboard playing as well. I would just add that it’s also helpful to work on getting down one song a day, and record yourself playing it. You don’t have to get it down perfectly, but well enough so that you can play it smoothly from start to finish.

Thank you Justin. I really needed this, I'm that guy that's been playing for years but knows nothing lol. I have a jam list on my phone, but I can't just pick up a guitar and play them. I've now made a camp-fire playing and I'm going nail these songs. THANK YOU!!

I'm a beginner and currently just learning songs I like and thankfully at least for now they are pretty easy

Thanks for the great tips. Retired a year ago, so decided to pick up the guitar, started trying to play about 8 months ago. Started few easy songs and work on cord changes (House of Rising Sun, Country Roads, Take it Easy, Can't You See). Have seen some improvement. But then found you on youtube. Been watching some of your videos for awhile. Love the way you teach, so now have your app and using you methods. They seem to be working. Focus right now is on finger stretching since I have small hands and some chords are really difficult, finger accuracy. keep those tips coming!

I always enjoy your lessons and thoughts on playing. One thing I’d add to the “dreamer list” idea is going back to it a few months or years later. I’ve been very surprised and pleased to go back to songs I just couldn’t play and after, for me, a few years I can knock them out. Or at least see them as achievable.

Super ideas Justin thank you. I suddenly realise that after 2 years learning I can’t actually pick up a guitar and play anything!! I need to resolve that asap x
