sick pickle
Inspired
Hey friends,
I have been playing since I was 15 (now 40 years old). I am a pretty decent player with good feel and tone (thanks FAS!) That being said, if you look at my playing across all this time, I am really only playing the same licks and phrases that I was playing 10/20 years ago–maybe with slightly better feel![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I can quickly learn new songs for groups I play with, and learn passages by ear, but that is pretty much where it ends. I don't really know scales/modes. I have tried looking into tutorials for things like the CAGED system, but they have not clicked at all. I have not 'unlocked' the fretboard - nor could I really improvise something worth listening to on top of a random musical passage.
For 2023, I really want to 'break out' of my playing shell. With the sheer barrage of content available out there today, I really don't know where to start...Does anyone have any recommendations on a no nonsense plan to improve my playing and knowledge of the guitar? Is there any content creators out there laying out something worth following?
Thanks in advance!
