“I don’t practice I just play” is great advice. I’ll keep that in mind ❤

[@seanbaines]

There are times when structured practice is important, like when you are learning a new skill, or when you are getting a new song up to tempo, or you are getting some new lick patterns for your vocabulary under your fingers. But it is also extremely important to USE all this stuff musically, like Mango says. Play with the things you learn. Play songs that use them. Practice improvising with them. Learn your scale patterns musically by skipping notes (3rds in septatonic major and minor keys are major harmonic building blocks), or skipping strings, or playing runs of 3 or 4 notes, (a lotta licks are based on that kinda thing); and of course, improvising. I've gotten that takeaway not just from Mango, but from a lot of really good sources on how to play the guitar. I've been doing more of it in the past year, and it has helped.

is not great advice sorry, its terrible, if you actually want to get good, split your guitar time into practice technique and concepts, and playing fun shit.

[@RyanXKillua]

@@amenbrother8785 it depends. I used to just practice to try and get better at playing and to memorize certain songs. But I agree that splitting time between practice and fun is ideal. I discover new ideas and nuances in my play style from just messing around and playing for fun/the joy of it

[@rayleakss]

im going to try learning seriously now, thank you for inspiring me

[@ckblackwoodmusic]

Exactly; just make music rather than make robotic notes. Once again, you're a gem

[@separator94]

Thanks for the tips. I'm just starting out so they're much appreciated.

[@donk9132]

Thanks Maria.....nice little lesson !!

[@adrianoundead]

Thank you.. I have just found you. I was looking for how to improvise and your explanation is so easy to understand.

[@TheHylianBatman]

I agree! All of that advice is excellent! Learning music should be fun! Play it to have fun, not to be good! By having fun, you will BECOME good! Long live Ukraine!

Finding a good pick is true, i played for 5 months with flimsy beginner picks and a standard medium, then bought 15 different picks, the Big stubby picks are definitely my favorite. They wont make you better, but if it feels good to you, you will feel like you aren't getting lost on the strings unless its your fault.

[@Astro_touches_children]

1mm and 1.14mm Star Picks for me. They got kinda hard to find for a while but I recently got a 50 pack of each from Musicians Friend at I think $20.00 per so I'm set for a minute. She did drop a few wise points IMO.

[@s0da.-.]

If they feel good to you, the you actually will get better! You'll be more comfortable and it will make playing less akward.

Thank you this video helps me a lot

[@BigBSinclair]

Great tips and what a beautiful guitar!

[@jeffreyeagen4896]

I should probably change my strings more often, usually change them once every couple years. But I don't play as much as I should. Trying to play more often, and get used to using a pick. I never liked them because they always would turn in hand or I'd drop them. I also use the Dunlop nylon picks with the grippy bumps, still can't get used to strumming with a pick, though.

I love your channel. Greetings from Colombia :)

[@sebreun974]

[@reprisal3]

Love the videos. I'm in my first month of my guitar learning journey. I have the same 2i2. What free plug-ins do you recommend? I didn't see them in the description.

[@anant-gardeeyes3324]

I love your channel. Saludos desde Colombia :)

[@포크맨-g3c]

👍최고입니다👏👏👏⚘️

[@eckligt]

Haven't tried it myself, but Mark Speer from Khruangbin uses flatwound strings and says that the benefit is that the sound remains the same even if you use the same set of strings for years.

[@cosmealmeidasoares-qn5ej]

Linda 😊 ❤🌹👏

[@MRC11392]

love the video! could you do a bending tutorial? i can’t figure out how to bend and make it sound good 😂

[@PlasticCup7]

[@RyanXKillua]

Great video! What were the plug-in links you mentioned?

[@PlasticCup7]

[@alex_s_777]

Best pick is a Hetfield White Fang 1.14

[@royghosn18]

[@REDLIQUIDCASTLE]

🖖🏻🤘🏻

[@curtgottler9961]

What country are you from?

[@STILLMI]

Sorry about question, but why you do only English video?) Чому не хочеш щось зробити українською? Якщо є на це свої причини, я хотів би дізнатися про них) 😁 Your English accent is pretty 😋

[@morningdottimesthree]

You may need to start a separate channel focused on plants. 🙂

[@thuggyboi3648]

Dam someone’s got a fender , sheesh got that money.

[@jeremydiez-luckie5746]

Wanna spend some money? Get a Les Paul custom or a gretsch

Знаю, что так не хорошо делать, оставлять под видео многоуважаемых авторов, пользуясь их популярностью, ссылки на другие ютуб каналы. Но в преддверии Нового Года очень хочется сделать подарок одной милой и талантливой девушке с потрясающим голосом, у которой есть ютуб канал, но в силу неизвестных причин она его забросила, быть может, если появится какая-то активность подписчиков, это её замотивирует на новые каверы. Заранее прошу извинения, это моя личная инициатива (естественно, она даже не догадывается) надеюсь меня поймут. youtube.com/@miina1200
