practiceguitar... - my expensive training program where I help you make your guitar practice pay off and get better nearly every time you touch your guitar.
I agree with this and it works. The problem is knowing how to divide your time accordingly. EDIT 26/07/2022: Dividing time isn't an issue. Just add a total and divide it by 8 OR just spend 1-2 minutes on each exercise and rotate until your time is done. 🙂 Duh!
I think you would have a more powerful message if didn’t spend an unnecessarily long time focusing on what it is that you think is ‘the wrong way’ to do things, and simply demonstrate what it is you think is ‘the right way’ to do things. I don’t mean this to sound negative in any way.
Man your teaching is sorcery😂😂 you helped me achieve things I never even dared dream of before coming across you 3 years ago.. keep up the good work God bless you Mike.
Your videos have helped me out a lot. Thank you for the tips I couldn’t afford classes and been. Teaching myself for 30. Years and feel like I’m not going anywhere.
How do I prevent my face from contracting its muscles into a pouting grimace every single time I play? I have to remember to relax my forehead and mouth, that's distracting man! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
PLEASE STOP with analogies! It's distracting and now i have to gather word pictures on a whole different topic. I"M HERE, ready to learn, you don't have to convince me, and your word pictures using things like spaghetti just derail some of us.
So then how would you go about incorporating microgoals into this when everything is so fragmented in a sense? I dont really know how to apply this while using the microgoal method you explained previously.
I was doing all things wrong that you mentioned, so i am aware and have now changed my old habits and i have improved 100%. thankyou for bringing these to our attention .
Thanks for some great tips for conditioning. Hey I love this guy but I gotta take the piss in a no offence intended way.. he is, to analogies, what metaphors are to similes.. it's like if you had Aristotle over here but only Plato was able to hear from a distance because Archimedes was not near enough to a water source that Pythagoras had etc. nah he's not that bad but.. could definitely improve, over time, with some handy analogous exercises.. like if a mouse was on treadmill next to a sloth but the speed setting weren't different so..
I feel like I could teach this subject alot better. Straight to the point but explanation of how this technique works and the benefits of it. He really spent like three minutes talking about spaghetti and cooking the noodles when I have time. He lost me after the second time he brought up the spaghetti
Geez. I had a hard time watching the whole video before i made my comments. 1. You spent WAY too much time with your spaghetti cooking analogy. You could've skipped a lot of it. Same with a few other parts. 2. I whole-heartily disagree with using distortion (or any effects) when trying to learn to play faster, mute string noise, coordinate hands...pretty much all those things. A clean sounds is the ONLY way to practice. The playing unplugged when building strength doing pull-offs is a good idea. Overall, your recommendation is good. However, i would add the following: When someone is starting out, or even just working on basic techniques like legato, it is VERY helpful to practice them many times per day for short periods. So, if at all possible, they should have the guitar where it's handy to grab and play, even for 1 or 2 minutes at a time, then put it down and do something else. But it's also important to try to stop after you've done the technique successfully, or at least better than you have before, i.e., made improvement. That's how our brains work when building motor skills. Overall, you've got good ideas, but you need to ditch the distortion when you're learning! That sound you had on your guitar when you demonstrated sounded really muddy. Did you do that on purpose, so we couldn't hear all your crappy technique? (Lol) Thanks!
I've been cooking my spaghetti wrong all these years.
You must have a whole dish full by now then right? :)
Each noodles gets the individual attention that it requires!!
Jesus...dude takes forever to get to his point
That's a muddy guitar sound...
You’re a muddy guitar sound.
And due to that, I can't watch the video. Despite what nuggets of knowledge is in the video.
if youtube was around in the 80's, I would be a household name by now : )
I the 80s some kids could learn guitar out of the air.

Cooking video? What I’m doing wrong? What’s right? Sign up for my expensive guitar course.
Agreed - as a beginner, this is slightly mind-blowing and, in some ways, off putting.
I can not handle the amount of talking...
Reminds me of Mike in The Young Ones: "I don't mean to sound negative but no.."
Ironic, as you are doing exactly that with your comment
I wish I could have done this instead of learn covers for the last 10 years. Thanks!!
Learning covers is important too!

Mike is the guitar genius 😄

😂😂😂😂😂😂
Botox?
You sure crammed a lot into an 8 minute video. Subbed up, will be applying your methods to my routine.
This is the first time when 0,75 playback speed is ok)

It’s not that hard to understand analogies or go to another RUclips channel
Hint...stop watching
Very valuable lesson! I will adapt this going forward!

Have you thought of ways to explain things more efficiently? RE: the spaghetti analogy, yeah we get it MOVE ON,
You talk too much
You are a millenial with TikTok attention span
You can’t watch a short 8 minute video?😂 embarrassing
Your teaching is phenomenal! Thank you
Very informative, fun, and humorous. I wish I’d found you ten years ago. Still a lot to learn, though. This video will help.
Damn you been consistently uploading videos for more than 5 years
$250 an hour for guitar lessons is pretty steep though.
Yeah, it's a ripoff for sure.
I liked the spaghetti recipe 😂
Awesome video as always and also your movie clip editing is golden! Hahah
how the heck are you not getting more subs?
Great vid, completely blew my mind. Half the comment section is braindead lmao. Imagine thinking an 8 minute vid takes too long to get to the point.
Moral of the story if you can play it slow you can play it fast, but isn't that what all professional music teachers tell you?
yeahhh!!!
Thanks for some great tips for conditioning. Hey I love this guy but I gotta take the piss in a no offence intended way..
he is, to analogies, what metaphors are to similes..
it's like if you had Aristotle over here but
only Plato was able to hear from a distance because Archimedes was not near enough to a water source that Pythagoras had etc. nah he's not that bad but..
could definitely improve,
over time,
with some handy analogous exercises..
like if a mouse was on treadmill next to a sloth but the speed setting weren't different so..
Dude seriously 😮
Very helpful! Thanks!
Dude I like this guy he’s a good teacher
I'm still stuck on muting and buzzing strings
Very helpful, thanks!
Your movie clip sidebars are hilarious btw
thanks man i practiced truh the session really helped ,me a lot i do my like like twice as fast bless you mike you are the best
Can I use this info for practicing bass?
u could use this info for anything really
Lol not sure why you would even have to ask that
so one third then?
Infomercial🤬🙄
Is this a lesson on cookery 😁
Talks and talks ....but doesn't show you
Gitar nya d taruh aja
