[@KoreyHicksGuitar]

It gets easier after a while!

[@peppyharley6901]

Wow! Amazing but you really have to be disciplined! Great results! I’m impressed! Too bad I’m getting old but , I’ll try and do as much as I can. Kudos to you, you’re amazing!

@@peppyharley6901 I think something could be safe for the reverse of staying up late, but my brain is too shot by that time lol

[@patrickhowe7689]

Could you recommend a solid state amp for practicing?

[@KoreyHicksGuitar]

@@patrickhowe7689 Fender Champion 20 used will run you $40-50 or the new Champion 25. The 20 is my favorite little amp for practice.

@@KoreyHicksGuitar Thank you, sir.

Korey, thank you for a great practice routine and book suggestion. I plan on starting this today, which will take a while to get up and running. Outside of classical guitar, why do you recommend practicing sight reading? Thanks!

[@KoreyHicksGuitar]

Learning to read helps to map the whole neck out in your mind in note names instead of fret #’s. I’m 43, and stopped thinking in terms of “14th fret, high E” when I was 16. It’s the note F#, and it’s the Major 3rd of D or the 5th of B, etc - it was probably the single most important Guitar improvement decision of my life. When I’m playing gigs and playing 60 songs over four hours, I never once think of what fret I’m on only interval andnote name. The human brain has a really difficult time associating different numerical values to the same object, such as 14th fret meaning the 3 of D so this fixes that as well.

@@KoreyHicksGuitar I learned to read music when I studied classical guitar, but I never looked at it the way you explained here. This gives me a fresh perspective and a good reason to go back to working on sight reading skills to apply to all styles. Thank you for taking the time to respond!

@ you bet! If you want some ideas for good books, let me know!

[@mykneeshurt8393]

Seven kids? Please tell me you named them Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aoilin and Locrian.

Thank you very much for this! Please make that book about practice! If I had someone explaining how to spend my time rather noodling, I'd be so much better
