Aside from lessons, personal input from a teacher, how can I find out what to pursue next in learning guitar?
I can play the scales in all of the positions – and have figured out the modes (playing root scales just from a dif’t fret starting position for example) –
is it helpful to memorize what note each fret on each string is? it doesn’t seem that worth it if I can still stop and see “ok this is the 1, so that’s a maj3rd and a 5th and a 7th” or should I start thinking like “ok this is G so that’s B, D, F” yadda yadda
part of me wonders if I need to take a step backwards to do a little more “left-brained” book learning
I think at this point I could play a pretty solid rhythm guitar
but I want to get to a style of more solo and fill type playing like solo Bireli Lagrene or Joe Pass – not that I’d be as good as either of them – but that style none the less –
to go from TABs and chords into more fingerplay and freestyle
I don’t play but I did see this page you might want to check it out.I created Guitar lessons after I received hundreds of emails and calls from people just like you, with strong desires for a Guitar workshop that would show them how to become an incredible guitarist, skipping all of the “unnecessary” detours that keep most people from reaching that high level in the first place.
