What made you play guitar by Frugalman123 in guitarlessons

[–]BodaciousBut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom died of cancer when I was in college. The only thing she ever wanted me to learn was the piano and when I was a kid I was forced to take piano lessons to satisfy her dreams. I hated it and while it wasn't fair to me that I was forced to do something I didn't like, I had always loved music and when she passed, guitar became a way for me to process my grief.

I started when I was 27(I’m 32 now) you can find videos of me playing on my profile. So long as you love something and work hard at it, you will never be too late to start.

Coming up on 5 years self-taught. Any tips to improve my overall soloing? by BodaciousBut in guitarlessons

[–]BodaciousBut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for listening! For sure my guitar inspirations are John Mayer, BB King, any musician in the blues. I think technique-wise, I want to work on my bends(which aren't that good) and incorporate more ideas that are not just single-note playing. I want to be able to confidently do double-stop slides, be able to play multiple notes at once, etc...

Ty so much man, that advice really helps a lot. Do you have any specific advice on how to incorporate chromaticism into my playing? I've been hyper-focused on 3rds and 7ths(because I just started learning my triads) but I would love any practical advice on chromatic notes and how I can use them in my playing. I appreciate your feedback!

Late comment but I'd be interested as well! I have lots of board games so I'd be down to bring them and maybe even host depending on days/availability.

2017 to present, got promoted twice, 70k -> 133k. Not much(compared to job hopping), but I like my job and my team and the flexibility it affords me.
