I want to share something I learned a very long time ago when I was first learning guitar. When I first picked up the guitar, BEFORE I even had my Fender Strat, I played my sister's acoustic guitar with an even older Hal Leonard beginner's guitar method booklet. The tip that the booklet said, "Regular practise is essential. Practising a half hour each day is better than practising two hours every four days. Find a regular time of the day that works for you." That Hal Leonard book is completely right! Many studies show that daily practise of hobbies shows an increase in interest, skill, and enjoyment for that specific hobby! Practising guitar every day, even for a short period of time, helps your practising signifigantly because of the consistency, compared to a practise session every couple of days for a longer period of time. So the takeaway from this? Find a time that works FOR YOU to practise, and split up time dedicated to theory, and time to playing songs!

Instead of sharing a song today, I want to share a new part of the community that's being added and worked on RIGHT NOW. If you've noticed, the only way we've really been able to communicate so far has been through the general discussion posts---and most of that has just been me talking to you guys. I'm proud to announce: NEW DISCUSSION PAGES! The General Discussion page will still be where I share my weekly posts, but we now have two new pages being introduced: - Guitar Accomplishments - a place to share YOUR progression, big or small - Q&A - a space to ask questions and help each other out If you're familiar with my goal for this Skool, it's to build a real community, not just a course. I want this to be a place where everyone can share their journey, support each other, and grow together. Learning music shouldn't be just a solo journey---it's always better in a group. I'm excited to see you guys start using these pages!

For everyone celebrating this week, today is Good Friday and the start of the Easter weekend. Happy Easter to everyone who is celebrating, and to everyone else, enjoy your long weekend. There will be no extra practise or challenges this Friday, take this time to relax and spend time with your family! 🐰🐣

I apologize for the missing post Friday, I was out on a trip celebrating my brothers soon to come wedding! I hope you have all been practising still 😄! Whistler, British Columbia! Besides from guitar playing, I do ski a little bit for fun ⛷️🎿!
