Daily Practice - Module 1 - Part 1

[@J1283-s1k]

Gone but never forgotten Pebber. Over a decade later and still this is peak musical education content. You had a worldliness and an expertise that continues to be incredibly inspiring. A maestro surrounded by the workings of his chosen craft.

[@bottomsupbass]

Can't understand all the negativity. This man is offering you knowledge for free. Taking time to teach is noble. If you already know these things or don't agree that's fine but some of these attacks just make no sense.

[@rogerthat1100]

That's because they're suck monsters...

[@marksc1929]

...can't tell these new yourg mellinials anything ....apparently they already know it.....

[@titmusspaultpaul5]

Because this lesson is TOTALLY ineffective. I've been playing for 35 years and I can assure you this method will waste time. His heart is in the right place but the problem is that new guitarists may follow this tutorial and after thousands of hours practice find that they arn't really any good. This does them a disservice and we lose a potentially gifted player, and maybe they give up where as they might have become successful or just enjoyed their lives more because they would have been doing something they potentially loved. These reasons and more are why all the negativity, and i would say fair enough (and yes i went through the whole video before commenting)....sorry for the negativity but sometimes truth is more important.... cheers all.

Most all guitar teachers who teach out of strip mall music stores are extremely limited in their knowledge of professional skill level ideas. I am happy to help you out thanks!

[@drj602]

I think you are a super great instructor

[@director2bob]

I just stumbled on this video by accident. have been playing guitar for 37 years in every almost every genre of music. I have played gigs (blues/rock) for some of the toughest crowds including the Hells Angels and other outlaw biker clubs so that should be a clue that kick ass on guitar. I say that humbly because I paid my dues and probably have logged over 40,000 hours on guitar which is an average of 3 hours a day for 37 years. I play classical, Jazz, funk, metal, and have studied with some of the top guitarists in the world including famous musicians like Leslie West from Mountain, John Scofield, Pat Thrall, Bill Conners etc. . I also taught guitar for 20 years and gave free lessons to anyone ho couldn't afford to pay. I NEVER comment on youtube videos because I have better things to due with my time. But I felt compelled to write a comment so hopefully a few people who read this learn something about life, not just guitar. First off, anyone who made any negative comment already tells me you suck ass on guitar because you are too narrow minded to realize you can improve and learn by watching anyone play, especially a professional teacher like this man. Did anyone think about how generous he was to use his personal time to create this video with the intent of helping you improve your playing.? A lesson that everyone should learn is that time is more valuable than money because once it's gone, you can never get it back. Big deal if he made a few "mistakes" while making the video. I have seen the best guitarists in the world hit a "bum" note during a live show. One total asshole named JEFF DAVIS, who posted below, not once, but twice, must obviously suck on guitar because instead of practicing, he wastes his time posting negative crap. it's not terrible if you suck on guitar because with practice, anyone can improve. What really must suck, is going through through life as a clueless moron, which he proved with very own words by saying he watched the entire 1 hr 38 minutes of something he hated when there were thousands of other guitar videos a "click" away? Who could possibly be that stupid? We know at least one person who is. I actually feel bad for him and apologize for calling him an asshole because mentally challenged people with low IQs need help, not criticism. So I truly mean I am sorry. Anyone else who made any negative comments, think twice before posting. You weren't "forced" to watch video nor did you pay a penny for a "free" private lesson. Learn to live with a little gratitude and be thankful you have a computer, internet access, a guitar, and more importantly, eyes and ears to watch and listen to this video because there are blind and deaf people in this world. If I helped one person reading this post, then I am happy and it was worth my time posting this comment because as I said before, time is out most valuable commodity, so you it wisely. And a big thank you to Pebber Brown, a person I have never even heard of until an hour ago. You area great teacher and a good soul. And a big thank you for anyone who took the time to post a nice comment because you "get" it. Giving a compliment makes the person receiving it feel good, but makes the person giving it feel even better. Good look on your musical journey.

[@dial3ctic289]

Absolutely agree... This is a absolutely awesome class, most people make this kind of things for money this teacher is a really Teacher and do this lessons to help people. Is priceless...

[@markstang1965able]

52 yr....just starting right here, right now . Yep, sometimes luck strikes gold and this Man is going to help me learn correctly. It took me about 20 seconds to understand and admire his honest approach and commanding style of teaching that ensures no short cut or miracle. There must be a thousand choices to find inspirational instruction. PB exceeds my expectations to learn correctly the first time. Although I am older , I have not learned any bad habits and that is good because bad habits limit a persons potential. Thank you, I will be watching every video I , as many times as I can. Practice

[@orientalfrogeatingrocks]

[@curtis5799]

10 mins in and I'm excited to finish watching the rest. Dude is 100 correct. Everyone wants that fun road trip with hilarious moments and good tunes but in reality you are sitting a car driving for hours bored out of your mind. This guy is just being real with everybody.

[@nicholasfabiani7934]

i'm so glad that i stumbled onto this video. i am basically self-taught, which is great to a degree. i have been playing for about 25 years but i reached a certain level and then became stagnant at that level for about the last 20 years. i can't afford $30 lessons (they were $10 back in the day when i took them for a couple of months) so i was searching for something to bring my playing to the next level. this video had been priceless to me. i just found it less than a week ago but i can't believe how my picking has improved. i'm still just about a half hour into it and I can't believe how much i have improved in such a short time. thanks so much Pebber. you're a GODSEND!

[@pebberbrown]

Before anyone starts trying to argue with me about using a metronome and how my video is flawed because I dont use a metronome, just keep in mind I have dozens upon dozens of videos for my paying subscriber students which emphasize metronome practicing and I also have 4 instructional DVD's which contain many metronome practicing drills and exercises in many timing configurations.

[@gilbertsandoval1888]

"Yes!!" Patients Grasshopper I have followed Pebber for years. There have been several times I have got to sit in on a jam session and blow peoples minds. I will also admit that if I had more perseverance I would be at a "professional " level. But hey, I can play a lot of Jeff Beck to this day. :-)

[@romerdecaracas]

simple solution: buy a metronome and be a great metronomist, i´ll practice this and will be a great guitarrist. (no hablo bien inglés, no entiendo ni el 10% de lo que dice pebber pero pongo su video e intento copiar lo que él hace every single day). gracias señor brown !

[@RiverVmanna]

Metronomes are a great tool but sometimes practicing with out it is good too. When someone is passing on so much with their great awesome influence and knowledge I give praise and thanks rather than complain and criticize. Thanks for your videos Mr. Brown. I also have applied your inspirational talking points on practice to my painting as well. I am glad to find you and your Linux-open-source-like attitude.

Apart from your excellent guitar teaching, I love your raw "meditations" and mind-wanderings over the "boring" practice parts. You're quite the guitar-buddha haha. I've slowly started downloading your vids 1 by 1 through fear of losing them. I've accumulated about 17gb worth so far. I don't often make that much virtual room for anything, so I appreciate it. Thanks for the real lessons and virtual company while learning.

[@geoker55]

Holy Crap! This is quite possibly the best practice lesson I have ever had in the 15 years I have been playing. After 3 weeks of playing ALONG with PB, this has increased my speed and made me an all around better player! Every DAY! Even on vacation...

Pebber, a good friend of mine just brought my attention to you over the weekend, said that your guitar workouts will change my life forever. I just started today, taking my lunch hour at work to play all the open strings using alternate picking, spending 3 minutes on each string using a metronome at 80bpm. 40 minutes later I could already feel a difference. Can't wait to rush home and go through the rest of the exercises. Thanks for all your insight!

[@WeirdErnie]

This. This is what I need. I've been playing for over 20 years. I've played festivals and sold-out gigs and I have recordings on Spotify and iTunes. I fully appreciate Pebber pointing directly at the camera and telling me that I suck. I've studied jazz and classical. I've probably taken 10 years worth of lessons from various instructors, including jazz and classical. I practice generally 1-2 hours a day and I'm lazy, sloppy and unfocused. This is exactly what I needed. Thanks Pebber.

[@princephrog]

I am a classically trained pianist who is also the child of professional musicians. At a young age I was dissuaded from learning guitar since at the time it was considered a "disreputable" instrument, especially among the classic music folk. Now in my 40's I'm finally pursuing a bucket list goal of learning to play guitar. This kind of training and rigid discipline instruction is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I SUCK. Thank you for your instruction, Maestro.

[@dannyhood7433]

Are you still playing? If you're piano player and come from family of musicians? If you stayed interested, and put time effort into you would be like fish takes to water. Shredding!

[@Pitsoup]

Hey Pebber, I'm a new subscriber but am now a loyal student. I tell everyone about you. Been sucking at playing for way too many years. Been making awful noises on the guitar for about 35 yrs. You have shown me how to practice and that is what I've been looking for. As a side note; I find that if I don't make a fist with my right hand my thumb ; being the strongest digit; over powers my index finger and I lose the pick, the others support my finger against my thumb. Don't lose it anymore.

For all you guys who keep asking about NOT USING A PICK. This is the wrong video for you guys. If you dont want to use a pick, or for some reason can not ore are unable to use a pick for whatever reason, what you want to do is look up videos on FINGERSTYLE guitar. This video is all about using the pick.

Thanks so much for this video. 2 quick questions : - Would you recommend always practicing with a clean tone? unless practicing songs or techniques that need/will have a high gain tone? - The annoying question (sorry!) : Alternate or Economy picking?

[@juliot.632]

Dear Pebber, you blew my mind when you said we had to go back to the A string. Now for all people who want to excercise and make it through, what I do is this (while watching the vid); everytime you feel the need to do something else; just let it be and don't lose yourself into it. If you do it correctly, you get the chills. Do this everytime you feel the need to lose yourself in the distractions. Thats how you get through. Also, at the same time you may be thinking; "I'm committed to play guitar, and working on it to improve myself". Feels good. Cheers!

[@user-lm3pf3yv4w]

Thanks so much, Pebber. The best things in life are always free, and your guitar practice video is a perfect example of that. Thank you for patiently taking us through a real-time practice session. Those of us from backgrounds or countries with limited resources and opportunities truly value all that you think, say and do. By the way, your sarcasm and style reminds me of two comedic geniuses, Bill Hicks and George Carlin. You are the George Carlin and Bill Hicks of the guitar world. I will continue to follow this practice video on a regular basis. Thanks again, Pebber.

I used to play along to this video daily for almost a year straight when it came out before I developed my own warm ups and exercises. I still come back to it every now and then. He is 100% right, you do what he says and your technique will become insanely efficient. One day in the future I'll have to get those online lessons from him. Thanks Pebber.

[@GlennMichaelThompson]

Joel Harris Keep up the faith Joel, anything worthwhile takes time. I've recovered from a couple of rounds of major surgery... severed tendons on my right hand, and also had a rib removed from the right side of my spinal column. I had to relearn my picking technique etc. etc. (long story). BUT I did regain my facility and techniques. Slow and steady man... patience is the key. All the best. Take care.

Hey dude! I know this is 2 years later but I hope you're still at it, you can do it! I have forearm tendonitis in my picking arm really bad, but I practice everyday and stretch like a mofo lol. Cheers!

[@StopMoColorado]

Same here. At my peak, I routinely played and practiced 4-6 hours a day (not that it was good for my marriage or my relationship with my kids, things that also require lots of time, but that's another story). Had my spine and neck broken in a car accident, had a girl who was texting and driving drive her Suburban right through me at a red light, my life changed in an instant. Between the "dead" fingers and spasms that resulted from the pressure against my spinal cord (especially the C-Spine damage), I just have up playing, entirely, for a few years, literally couldn't lift my guitar over my head for quite some time. I began playing again a couple of years ago, but it's been a struggle, you don't realize how much of that skill actually rests in your hands (rather than your head) until you have to start over. For a while I couldn't even fret again properly, so started doing pick exercises similar to these, trying to reconstruct my skill set any way I could. This video is like a Physical Therapy for Guitar Playing program, starts with the easily-taken-for-granted fundamentals and builds from there. THANK YOU, PB, for making and posting this video, it's just what I needed. Had I had something like this when I first started playing, I'm sure I would have gotten better much more quickly when I first started playing almost thirty years ago, but I'm glad I found it, regardless (I suppose, via KZbin recommendations, it actually found me). Cheers!

[@vidicsferenc182]

This video changed my life 7 years ago. (maybe you can even see my old profile and comments here.) I started to practice everyday to a metronome learn scales chords and now i knew how much i have to put in to practicing to reach my goals, i downloaded all the pdfs and videos and watched and performed that everyday, most day for 10-12 hours untill i became insane.... before that i couldnt play powerchords, punk songs or anything correctly, i was the worst guitarplayer in my band and worst musician general. this video teaches you how to PRACTICE and what to practice. this gives you a good foundation. now i can play solos, know the major scales modes minor scales pentatonic... everything that most guitarist use. and you know what i still call myself a beginner because im not at pebbers or bucketheads or holdsworths (rip) or even jimmy pages level. Thank you very much Pebber and i will still tell every new guitarist to check your videos as i always did.

I'm an airline pilot and have plenty extra time to finally use the wisdom that you are showing me and others on here for free and no charge.

I first started playing 40 years ago when I was 14 and of course like most teens got side tracked - the usual - girls, cars, etc but my dad - who had nothing to do with music in any way told me then I would need to practice 2- 3 hours a day if I wanted to get good - yeah right! So 40 years later - yeah (he was) right! This vid and all others by this Pebber dude on right on it. So at 54 I'm starting over. Still got the same axe as when I was a kid but this stuff Pebber is doing is the right shit. You want to get good, do as he does and do as he says. If not, do anything else.

I guess the first step to improving is admitting that I suck now but recognizing that I don't have to suck if I put in the required work.

[@paulharris8551]

I think it depends on what your goals are. If you plan to be a studio guitarist or teacher you need to read music and know music theory and chords from A to Z and have superb technique. But if your goal is playing your favorite type of music in pubs or selling original material you need to focus more on developing proficiency in your chosen style. Playing along with recordings of your heroes is an age-old method.

[@The_PlagueDoctor]

Honestly just watching you practice and keeping track of the fretting is a work out.

[@davidsmart8594]

I went away and tried the first exercise...it's difficult! Continuing...

[@MrHorrorble]

I can't fully express how correct Mr. Brown is that you have to do the mundane on daily basis. The same principle applies to everything in life. For example: baseball. You HAVE to do tee-work, take grounders, & practice throwing mechanics daily or you will not progress.

[@d0zeboy]

Pebber when you are practicing picking like this, or when you are playing in general, do you rest your hand at all anywhere on the guitar or is your hand completely "free" besides the contact your arm makes with the body? do you rest your wrist anywhere? Thank you in advance for any response.

[@Faffel]

This is probably the most valuable guitar practice vid on youtube, because it shows you the actual practice and not what to practice. A good example that people who kick ass at guitar sit down and do this shit and that you need to as well.

[@ulfgj]

i'm drinking the coffee with my left hand while doing this.

[@Skinny_Karlos]

I really enjoyed your approach Mr Brown. I began playing classical guitar (still do & teach) and the fundamental thing with the guitar is that the quality of the sound comes from the right hand. I had good teachers that emphasised the importance of the RH before looking to shred, so to speak. I really still do stick to a regime where the right hand is approached first, by the way for you guys that didn't study at University when Mr. Brown moves his hand from the bridge to the neck for a brighter sound to a warmer sound that's called sul ponticelli (at the bridge) in Italian and sul tasto (at the neck). Also imagine a professional athlete diving straight into a 1500 metre without a warm up or just going to a gym workout without a warm up. When I started getting interested in electric guitar and the girls (as we do) I had to learn a whole different (plectrum/pick) approach, well I didn't have to Mark Knofler, Robbie Kreiger et al didn't but I wanted some 'kick' behind my right hand.Then I discovered guys like Ted Greene and Robben Ford and I found that those fingers can be used when desired and the plectrum slipped between the index and middle fingers and brought back out when needed. I'd practice doing that little manouvre on the bus, waiting for a late friend etc - I always had a plectrum in my pocket. Also carry around the music that you're working on because you can read through it and play the guitar in your mind's eye and it really will help you when you get the instrument back in your hands. I've rambled and yeah i'm from downunder, Awstraya, I'm 52 and I still practice very much as this man does - no getting around it if you want to be a musician, but I'll tell you one thing, to the, maybe one person that's reading, Mr. Brown is totally right in this approach. The idea is to do these things things so often that even when you're in front of people and nervous the consistency that the practice will have given you will pay dividends. The defence forces use this approach and so does every professional ANYBODY. You have to do the boring stuff if you want to be good. Poor planning equals a piss poor performance. Great video.

I'm at 18 minutes and my hand is falling asleep!

[@p.opiejacques8830]

Love your teaching ways, I'm 52 and looking to purchase my first guitar in a few weeks. I have researched a lot of how to videos, you do have the best and straight forward! Thanks!

[@JCToxik]

"Quit playin guitar... go sell it... you suck!!!" hahahahahahahaha!!!! that's the greatest thing I've ever heard.... good for you Pebber!

[@Annatar0]

Pebber Brown, you are my guitar guru. The attitude is exactly what i have been looking for and it has pushed me a lot. All the material you have put out is just amazing.

[@eduardorafael5596]

"If you don't have the patient for it... you will SUCK for ever" hahahaha!

[@davidblocker3059]

I was searching vids for practice routines because I don't seem to be improving and found this. First 25 minutes showed me what real practicing is like. Its now 3:45am because I am hooked on your videos. Thank you so much! Neck and back surgerys have left me with time to learn guitar, something I always wanted to do.

[@wicketts16]

WHY AM I ONLY WAXING ON AND WAXING OFF!

[@BFClayto]

[@lynx777]

[@DarthVato2010]

It means he has no discipline. Thanks for taking the time out to make this video and post it...really opened my eyes as a guitar player! I can't express enough gratitude..please keep these videos coming!

[@Kattbirb]

Pebber. I gotta say: your video here, how you hold yourself. You make me hate you. You make me want to get very good at the guitar so that I can some day walk up to you, play a riff, then punch you in the face. You give me a target, "Beat this dude. Hard." So, in short, I'm totally subbed! Only a half hour in and my right hand was burning. I can really learn something here. Thank you!

[@nickshepro8454]

36 minutes in, out of coffee and I feel like I spent 2 hours jerking off horses. No excuses, drive on!

[@7884golfguru]

I know what you mean mate good motivation though

[@asshole2550]

[@johnpacella9519]

Nick Shepro Ugh,,,if only I could get THAT image out of my mind...

[@Kattbirb]

I may just be. Though watching this guy and getting angry at him, even with what I meant as a joke, I have improved. So I'm an arsehole, sure, but I'm improving my guitar skill.

[@navigator3744]

The single string right hand picking exercise is a great exercise. I have been doing 40-45 minutes of that of that every day for more than a year now and I can really tell how it has improved my playing. You helped me realize that I had always neglected the right hand.

[@Pointyish]

Lol, gain skill and character simultainiously! Can't buy that wisdom.

[@DANNY40379]

not a guitar player, just stumbled here surfing around, this guy's attitude is awesome (and hilarious) what he teaches is good for everything in life not just for guitar playing!

[@T0PNOODLE]

3hrs 40 mins......still warming..........

[@Consolous]

T0PNOODLE Still from frozen solid to cold

[@geraldwest3428]

As a life long beginner lol I have done this drill over the past three plus weeks with excellent results. I'm more excited but how much more advanced I will become a few more weeks or months from now! My fingers are so much more coordinated and faster, cleaner and more confident with accuracy. Thank you big time Pebber!

[@MrBlaarghh]

[@franciscogallegos4408]

Pebber please don't take this video down! this video has inspired me so much. You have influenced me immensely.

[@orbitalchiller]

[@jebgr]

[@seanmiller7889]

[@juhatsukkeli]

[@michaelmarler7016]

Do you ever play music?

[@cubs203]

Thank you so much. I have a lot of respect for you. You didn't just teach me about guitar you taught me about life. I have low self confidence and now I realize that If I want to be good I just have to put in the effort. Anyone can do it. I'm going to do better at guitar and study hard for my quiz tam arrow thank you so much
