Chris, may I ask you a couple of questions? I've bought all your books and the accompanying GPRO files (well, except for the 7-string book, I've no real interest in 7-string Guitar) and I can honestly say it's the first time in my many, many years of playing that I'm actually "practicing" .. and _ENJOYING_ it! It's been a complete eye-opener for me and I could wax lyrical for an hour on how I now perceive the fretboard, tension in my arms and hand, why playing slowly is so important - and consequently why testing your upper speed limits is also equally as important (rather than slogging through hours of gradual increments on the metronome, although that does have it's place!) .. practicing in bursts, being aware of dynamics, friction (unnecessary hand contact with the neck) posture, left-hand fingering (HIGHLY important .. really, really important!) picking (even MORE important!) economy picking,/sweep picking, holding the pick et al ! I can't thank you enough for your books! ..(I'll get back to you with the two questions, if that is ok?)

Glad to hear you're on a roll. Yeah sure, ask a couple of questions. I'll respond here if it's simple enough.

Hello, Chris! Thanks for all your amazing work! May I ask you a question? I do feel pain in shoulder while playing. Is it normal? Why does it happen? Thank you again! (sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker)

[@ChrisBrooksGuitar]

No pain is acceptable, so look into your posture and also at some stretching and self-massage, especially below the clavicle. I find that a good spot for relieving shoulder, chest and arm pain.

Arrived yesterday. I’m on week 9 of intermediate.

[@ChrisBrooksGuitar]

Awesome. Thanks for jumping on board early!

i cannot open the link for video instructions, please help!

[@ChrisBrooksGuitar]

Send me an email if you can. It's not something I can sort out in public on KZbin. When you do, let me know what happens with the link and what browser you are using. Also try something like Chrome or edge if you are using one of the other browsers like Safari, Firefox etc.

[@digjen.k9309]

@@ChrisBrooksGuitar sure am using brave browser.

[@alesegdia]

heyyy you say this is the third installment, what are the previous ones? I have a lot of books of yours but I'm guessing if I'm missing any :D

Guitar Practice Warmup Routines and Intermediate Bootcamp

[@alesegdia]

@@ChrisBrooksGuitar thanks! I was missing intermediate bootcamp

[@ChrisBrooksGuitar]

The first chapter of this new one is a recap so if you find that too heavy going, that will be a sign to double back to the intermediate. Otherwise, shred on!

@@ChrisBrooksGuitar thanks, master!
