Played guitar for years, but not getting better? - Think of Music as Language

All of us plateau in our progress occasionally, but there are a lot of guitar players that get stuck for years. A common problem with these guitar players is lack of punctuation and rhythmic displacement abilities. In this lesson you will learn how to take the language (phrases) you know on guitar to different rhythmic contexts, so that you can get closer to telling a riveting story in your solos.

Brilliant teaching. Great lesson.

This has ALWAYS been my weakest point in my playing! I can get my technique clean and play the right notes, but somehow it never sounded right. After taking a long break from playing, I realized that I was way too rigid mentally and could never build on any ideas or connect with anybody I’ve played with. I’ve heard for a long time that I should think of it as a language, but I didn’t understand as I struggle with basic communication. Thank you for your excellent videos. It makes me want to pick up my guitar again and tackle it from a vastly different perspective.

Scott Henderson uses a similar analogy likening musical phrasing to words and pages.

I love it Dani. Very nicely put and easy for people to sink their teeth into. Thanks man

This is such great information, Dani! I think a lot of players who grew up in the blues/rock genres missed the boat on basics such as these. These are the types of things my piano teachers and horn teachers would talk about and drill me on, but my guitar instructors (in the 70's, at least) were teaching chords and "licks" - no real harmonic or rhythmic philosophy behind it. I hope more guitarists are learning to read music today than when I was learning. I was at least able to take some of the tools I learned on other instruments and apply them to guitar. None of my guitar teachers read music!

Last night I saw a Turkish video and the oud player held the oud and picked the same as the video you posted about Gy*** jazz picking. It was cool seeing the relationship.

Let me simplify this for everyone. What Dani Is "Actually Saying Is. " Sit down and play enough that you know your shit.
