During one of our live Q&A sessions inside Guitar Gym Pro, @Bryan Toder asked a great question about pedals—especially how to set them up. I remember when I first started with pedals… and wow, was it confusing! So, I put together this breakdown to help make your pedal journey a little easier. Hope it helps! And if you want to join us for these live sessions, come hang out inside Guitar Gym Pro. www.skool.com/guitargympro We go live every Tuesday and Thursday and make sure no question goes unanswered! Keep strumming, Jake G.

Ever since Ricardo named his new pup "Riff" (musician, much? 😂), it's got me thinking... What are some everyday things YOU do DIFFERENTLY now that you're a guitarist? 🤔 We're not talking practice routines or guitar maintenance here, folks. Think outside the case! 🧰🚫 For example, I can't listen to certain music while working anymore - I get so lost in them I don't get a single thing done. Drop your guitar-induced quirks in the comments below! 👇 Let's see how deep this rabbit hole goes... 🐇🕳️

Keeping the tempo when it switches between the methodical fingerpicking and the less structured strumming is something I'm working on and hoping to have a breakthrough on this month. Also, I tried this on both acoustic and electric and I'm much better on my electric. I think my muscle memory is more attuned to my electric neck/fretboard than it is to my acoustic which makes sense as I definitely play the electric more.
