Hey Steve,I've always been a fan,and own a Jem,your Albums, passion and warfare book even. I enjoyed the lesson as I've been playing since I was 4 1/2 -5 years of age. The one thing I will say is !!you were quite rude to Pete who was helping you with the drum machine and probably everything else you needed. This was disappointing to me to discover with your Fame and Financial success,you have a part of you which comes across quite hubris. Please try and work on this for your own self growth. I'd like to hear a response from you. If you have the time to type a few words... Thankyou kindly, Ben,From Australia. By the way I've also been to several of your shows too,so I appreciate what you've done for the guitar and music with immense respect 🙏, Just remember you are still human, like Pete, Therefore always working on ourselves spiritually as well as working on the guitar. It's more important to not let your EGO Take Centre Stage,but let your true loving self hold this position as it comes across in your performances. I mean my ear is better than yours,as I don't Even need a tuner to find E 440 hertz, but I don't brag about it,I'm just aware I have perfect pitch from playing and singing for the last 47 years. So please think about how you treat others. You, especially I'm sure are aware of how what you say,And the tone you say it with can hurt someone's feelings.. That's all. Take care of You.

I have played for 40 years and have completely dedicated my self to guitar..eventually I got to a level where I could play anything effortlessly.i ve studied all kinds of music and have been told I have developed a unique style like no ones every heard..I spent hours daily in my room playing and expressing some of my deepest emotions..I've always been told god put that guitar in your hand and he even tuned it for me..this is all very true but heres reality.....I was terrified of rejection, unsure of my abilities,never embraced the potential that others saw.I didnt believe in myself..I put a lifetime into something I was deathly afraid of not meeting my own expectations..all the hard work all the talent was hidden away..all because I didnt believe and have spent so much time fighting an internal war over something I loved deeply...one thing I never see or hear teachers talk about is the power of belief and recognizing your abilities and not what your unable to play.yes..set goals and strive to be better however guitar is about connecting,Connecting to a tone,to a certain chord or group of chords that says who you are and how you feel.i grew up in an era of competitive guitarists where most,not all,just there to show how fast human fingers can move. there are no rights or wrongs playing guitar..its all about picking it up,finding your sound,your voice,your tone within a pattern or grouping that says..hey..this is who I am..feel me and i hope you can find comfort in my voice being the guitar..be proud of whatever progress you make on achieving that..i say this and only know this because I've lived it...my fears have been so strong that i cant even take my own advise..I will die never showing the world what I have learned and what I can offer but I can tell you the guitar gave me an identity, it kept me focused,motivated and driven until one day I walked away from the internal fight ,bruised and battered from all the years of me beating myself up..if you have potential, embrace it,be proud of it and let you be you..you can find it in just one note or one chord..if you recognize what songs move you or give you comfort learn those songs first because it gives you a starting point on finding out who you are..dosnt have to be note for note but pay attention to the progression and the dynamics on how they are played...your pick hand is the key to it all..that's the emotion.. your fret hand creates the mood..pay attention to each note fretted but dont forget to listen to the distance between each note...that's really what music is..

Kristus är vår Frälsare, Halleluja I see your point that's good advice , I played for 25 years and quit because I was always trying to play like malmsteen or Vai and couldn't quite nail it so I got discouraged it just became hard work while also holding down a job , when I was younger it didn’t matter I had more energy and dedication but as I’ve got older it became difficult to keep up that level of playing . I practiced more than what I enjoyed playing. I realise Not all of us are technically gifted virtuosos but you can have a lot of fun by playing music and creating music and just playing what you enjoy Without having to try to be the fastest or best guitarist in the world.

On ear development. I once watched a teen pianist performing a very complex classical piece on a grand piano at a nursing home show with multiple performers. There were a hundred people or so in the audience and the kid was very well rehearsed. Unfortunately the piano was in need of tuning quite badly. After the show I went up to compliment the young guy and I said What a shame they didn't have the piano tuned for you. He was like, what are you talking about? I realized that he wasn't even listening to himself play. It was just a mechanical transfer from written page to fingers. We know his family and he had pretty much been forced to take piano lessons from a young age and shortly after finishing high school he stopped playing altogether. Kind of a weird phenomenon.

@@GabrielSkolderblad I know that it can help, (though, in some cases it can also trouble musicians) but it is so odd of you mentioning perfect pitch as something that differentiates master musicians from "normal" musicians under a video of steve vai, who said himself that he does not have perfect pitch and who plays the e-guitar, with frets, which would make perfect pitch useless in some regard. There are violinists without perfect pitch who play with masterful accuracy and, while it is a big advantage to naturally have good ears and rhythm, things like that can be taught (not perfect pitch). As a musician myself, I think devotion is indeed the biggest factor that sets incredible musicians (or any kind of person) apart from others. If I had the fire in me to sit down everyday and play and practice my instrument every chance I got I would be probably making money with it by now.
