    If you find practicing with a metronome too boring, sometimes playing with drum beat can make it a lot more fun. You can find drum beats at almost any tempo and time signature on RUclips!

    As a beginner I feel like a lot of that comes when you’re not actively thinking about every step so you can worry about how you’re doing it rather than whether you’re doing it all. The vibrato and bends sound like a lot of the ‘emotion’ of a performance to me too. Fantastic series btw I’ve only been playing a few days but feel like I’ve come so far

    I agree about recording your self, it's also useful to hear if your guitar is in tune, intonated or if your fret hand is pressing to hard and making notes sharp. Thanks for the video.

    "I've gotta get a less weird hobby" (the recording of the video reference) made me chuckle. Thanks for an interesting and informative video. :) As someone who grew up playing other instruments and knowing the difference, I'm new to guitar and bass and (oddly) struggling as most woodwind, brass, and percussive instruments came to me relatively easy. Guitar and bass are much more nuanced. I remember a lesson where I was told of years ago, a young pianist was playing a concert. He played every note with precision, swells and diminishes filled the air as though he lifted them from the page itself. Afterwards, a world-class pianist was there and the young pianist approached him asking for feedback. The master pianist told him, "You play very well. Perhaps one day, you will make music." It really is a vibe, a feel, something indescribable that we each add that is all our own. ❤

I'm going through your series and learning with it, but once I finish learning the previous lesson i have no clue what to practice. is there anything you recommend I do while I wait for the next lesson? I've been learning songs but I feel like I don't retain any chords, notes, etc that way. any help is great. thanks
