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!

Today, I want to share a great thank you to everyone in this course! Thank you for joining my community and choosing me to help you along with your musical journey, wherever you are trying to land! I can not express my gratitude to you all enough. You are all a part of my Skool family 😄. My work on the backend of the course is going well, but I want to ensure that my work is properly transferred over to the frontend for you all. I have created a short Google form for you all to answer. I would appreciate hearing your true thoughts on the course and any feedback you may have! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdpPHDYVDlJPBj0fBPtvT9bfG5BXhMVPJ9A8qhR7zV4gbAdkg/viewform?usp=dialog

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!

I apologize again for the inactivity, I was on another small excursion out of town. This week I travelled to Orland, Florida! My favourite part of the trip I want to share with you all was my dinner at the house of blues! Real bluesy feel in that restaurant, especially with the live entertainment!

To start this week off, I want to share a (slightly late) birthday shoutout to Davie504 — April 5th marked his 32nd birthday! If you haven’t come across him before, Davide Biale is a bassist on YouTube known not just for being insanely skilled, but for how he mixes that skill with humour. His slap bass playing is on another level, but what really makes his videos stand out is how he turns bass stereotypes and random ideas into jokes and challenges. He’s the kind of musician who can go from doing something technically impressive to making a dumb (but funny) joke right after — and somehow it works every time. If you haven’t seen his content before, definitely check it out if you want something that’s both impressive and actually entertaining. https://www.youtube.com/user/Davie504
