5 reasons why you will never get good at guitar

[@sundog1979]

Sir, you are quickly becoming my favorite KZbin guitar instructor! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and sense of humor!

[@Kraatzman]

Dani is the MAN!!! Very knowledgable and no non-sense. One of the few people I recommend that you listen to. :)

[@elmarto1716]

I guess that's why I'm addicted to this particular channel and its contents: sheer wisdom shared, zero bullshit and a bit of fun. Oh and I need that massage machine by the way :-)

[@marbinmusic]

Glad you dig it. Lots more to come.

[@voxwah75]

Telling yourself that you don't have the time (90+20 minutes or 'any schedule on a daily basis') is pointing out the lack of priority, I think this is the biggest reason why so many people don't develop much. We won't wake up one day and suddenly are at the point of skills that we always dreamed of...

[@johnbeloe]

This is extremely well deserved expressed. I mean incredibly on the button. Well put man

[@ThreeLeggedMongoose]

My biggest issue is being overwhelmed with what to learn and jumping around to different things too much without consistent repetition

[@marbinmusic]

Get a teacher and do what he tells you.

[@ThreeLeggedMongoose]

@@marbinmusic that's you! I'm trying but my fingers keep getting stuck with all the cheeto dust (this is Matt H.)

[@MarkSchoonmaker]

He’s right about slowing down and going backwards. I really good jazz pianist told me to practice scales slowly. Took me 10 years to try it. lol

[@marbinmusic]

Better late than never

[@jefffranklin2294]

Awesome advice and true points all around.

[@marbinmusic]

Glad it was helpful!

[@turellius]

Great video! There were some great points made here. I do need to try and devote more time to practicing for sure. I'm always looking for areas where I find I can't pull off something I want to do, so I'm able to break practice up into smaller chunks. Less effective than a 1-2 hour chunk of time but I do still see improvement.

[@marbinmusic]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Finwens]

Great advice!! I fucking love Marbin

[@marbinmusic]

We love you (deeply)

[@BrizzleRocker]

Great points, very reminiscent of Zen Guitar by Philip Toshio Sudo (RIP)

[@samlong9354]

My biggest issue is what a friend calls "stability" or having the finger independence to keep my pinky in close to the fretboard when I'm playing legato. Makes the finger inaccurate when finger accuracy is very, very, important for legato playing.

[@marbinmusic]

@@samlong9354 I would make a wager that you are misdiagnosing the problem and that you haven’t figured out how to use the weight of your palm to transfer the pressure from finger to finger when playing legato and that that’s the hang up

[@samlong9354]

@@marbinmusic Thanks for the response. Know any good exercises?

[@marbinmusic]

@@samlong9354 join our Patreon we are posting a bunch of legato stuff next week

[@TrevorPeachMusic]

that neck massager tho. holy shit

[@marbinmusic]

It's the only way to get good at guitar!

[@YakDiezel]

I got three guitars and i think i need to pick one to just really focus my playing on the most

[@lesto1949]

Love your videos man! Put a noise gate on your mic there's a lot of white noise

[@bubbles3161]

I don’t play but want to get better!

[@marbinmusic]

@@bubbles3161 that’s a hard one

[@alexproh3826]

I am able to very comfortable and quite musically improvise in simple pop progressions like 1-6-4-5 in keys like C D A F, but I'm losing my mind when I switch to keys like C# F# G# A#. I feel like I never played guitar before, half of the notes are just farts in the sky. It is weird, I don't know why it's so hard for me to do all that half step transitions for schemes what I played a thousand times already. I wanna play like Greg Howe, but I understand that I can't play like Greg Howe, and I need to target something what he does, but on lover difficulty levels. And it's not always obvious and clear.

[@marbinmusic]

@@alexproh3826 you need to practice your scales in all keys and try playing with your eyes closed

[@alexproh3826]

@@marbinmusic thank you sir, my best time and focus on this

[@chriszec4588]

My big thing that I'm working on is percussive acoustic playing. I know what sound I want, I know what I want to write, but I currently lack the sense of timing I need to pull it off. I have no formal education and am entirely self taught. Anyone have some advice?

[@marbinmusic]

@@chriszec4588 if you can’t play in time getting the percussive wound you want look at someone who gets the sound and examined their motion mechanics. Particularly the right hand and compare it to yours by recording yourself on video and going back and forth between the vids. You’ll learn a lot

[@user-it8yh8tu7d]

Broken 16th notes in odd groups.

[@fallingsky9242]

8:28 thats where its at 😅😂

[@jcgood]

The shocking truth is that number five changed my life...

[@KanyeHemiTalkin]

But… I love Cheetos!

[@rillloudmother]

1 reason why i might not watch this video: i ain't tryin' to hear that.

[@randyhetlage9202]

🌹😁👍

[@squirelova1815]

I can always tell if you've been "scratching your balls and eating Cheetos" from the orange cheese marks so DON'T DO IT. Cheetos are junk.

[@chrismcloughlin163]

Noooo... How did he know about the shit stains?!?!?

[@marbinmusic]

Everyone knows... it reeks

[@iankinzel]

too late, I'm already good at guitar. I have defied and defeated you.

[@nicholashaystack2174]

Really, really cool and useful -unlike most of the other takes on the subject! Biggest issue? Possibly too much KZbin without an actual guitar in my hands 🫣

[@marbinmusic]

These lessons can be helpful, but without solitary practice they won't help. At least that's an easy problem to fix.
