Hey everyone, sorry I haven't been here as often as I'd like this week. We had a family emergency yesterday and my wife and I are just taking a little time to process and grieve. As a result, I haven't sat down to make any video's this week, but I will get back to the usual next week. Thank you for your understanding. In the meantime, I did have a quick 5 minute lesson done already and it is uploaded into the classroom section titled "5-Minute Lessons". Here's the link: https://www.skool.com/intermediate-guitar/classroom/4000ef63?md=36323bec1b394b958d00620f791b1b1e It's all about using drone strings and single string lead lines for practice, or even to make your solo guitar sound a bit more full, like a self accompaniment. Give it a try yourself and I hope everyone has a great rest of their week. Thank you all again, I'll see you next week! -Ben

Or is it the beginning of something? Depending on when you're looking at this could be a determining factor... Like... If you're just learning the C.A.G.E.D. system - then yes. This is the end of it. D and E.... I could even call my understanding of it -DEGAC in my case, lol! Completely backwards. I've been so stuck on these "shapes" and the way they connect, that it's got me excited. I feel like every time I get the chance to sit with my guitar, it's the first thing I want to play. I just want to wander through this line a "billion" times. 😅 It doesn't really get me anywhere, but I am certain that it helps me understand where I am on the fret board better, every time. I get the root note of whichever key I'm in. I get to move across the fret board And I get to talk a lot lol 🤣 JK I get more comfortable with my instrument 🎸 I hope that this video can help you experience something similar. I hope that you share your excitement for learning with me here on this post. Glad to have you with us! Before you get started - find your tuner and tune up or head on over to Intermediateguitar.com/tools to tune your guitar and get to it! We'll catch you in the comments!

Take a moment to arpeggiate through these chords D, G, and A - find a good melody to play as lead, strum right along or just listen to the same chords and imagine your favorite song that begins with these chords, while looking at the background and wondering if a bird really nests in one of those, obviously placed bird houses... The answer is yes. There are birds... When you're ready to start... to play the guitar again, join the class and take action my friend 🙏🏽 your enjoyment depends on it!
