Yr an awesome teacher! But that Kings X song sounds more musical than that Djent modern music u played that yr kids liked. Djent music lack melody, its more about their flashy guitar technique instead of melody. But overall u made great points that I will surely use in my practice Charlie.
Something that works for me is coming up with a rough draft for a song every time I play. Ill typically start off every practice session practicing my recent songs. Before i start a bew one. This keeps me serious, and also helps me with memory issues that i have and are really an important part of music that doesn't get appreciated.
I fixed the noodling thing a couple years ago: realized that whenever I sit down and play there's a moment where there's this epic shit coming out, whether on guitar or piano, so now I rarely play without hitting record in the DAW first. I mean It's not like we need to save on tape, so it can run in the background while I explore some scale and see what happens. Then I just delete the silence, listen through and delete the trash, and what's left is enough generally for a couple songs which I didn't know I was writing. Then just do a pass through with a midi drum kit and stuff takes shape, track by track. It's like speed-writing by improvisation.
@@CharlieLongGuitar it's done something unexpected too, it expanded my definition of what you can make into a song, and brought me back to figuring out the theory *after the inspiration occurs and gets recorded, which is nice because that can box a person in, sticking to a specific key.
Great video! Super cool tips to diversify your playing. Oh man I know all about ruts. Thanx for the ideas and the wake up call. I've been stuck & bored for so long I stopped playing.
You are an exceptional teacher. After about 2 years of daily practice, I'd say i'm definitely leaving the beginner stages and getting into intermediate levels of understanding and skills. The principles/philosophies you discuss are very thought provoking. I am confident they will pay huge dividends. thank you so much
@@CharlieLongGuitar in all seriousness, your material is the best by far. When I find time to practice I always go to you for things that hurt, but I know I need.

This is awesome and what it’s all about!!! Your positive attitude will take you far!!!
That's great, Charlie! I just realized I have never practiced anything constructive since I learned the C chord 40 years ago!!! Got work to do.
Ha! It’s really fun work though, right?? 🎸

Super cool original riffs!!!
Thanks so much!!! 🎸🔥🎶🔥🎸
Hey Charlie , on the king's X song you demoed , is your guitar in standard E tuning or is it dropped D or B ? Thanks Charlie and great video! ✌️🎸.
Fun question - low E string tuned to D. Everything else standard - so Dropped D
Thankfully you replied!! Very knowledgeable and Kool gentlemen!! GOD bless you and channel brother!! 🎸.
Nice approach! -- BUT =>> "BAD - habit" begins with too much information COMPRESSED in too many SNIPPETS!
That’s good constructive advice!! Thanks 🎸🔥🎶
