Where would we be if the blues had never met rockabilly? If Dylan had never gone electric? If Eddie had never heard Bach? In a world of bland, uninspired nothingness, that's where. That only comes from listening to anything and everything without prejudice. We love the greats because they blended different styles, brought in new influences and expanded the definition of what the guitar could be. Find some other genre, one that doesn't make you vomit blood, and learn its ways. You live in a musical ghettoĪre you an indie kid? Metalhead? A sandal-wearing worshipper at the altar of jazz? Whatever your particular niche is, do yourself a favour and break out of it. You'll learn more from playing a ton of songs than through any other method, and you'll be an infinitely better musician at the end of it. Seek out new artists and new songs, learn them, then do it all over again. If you don't add to your repertoire, you'll be strumming the same three John Mayer covers for the rest of your life. It's comfortable and easy, like eating cereal out of the box or tattered old slippers.īut it's killing your playing.
Let's not pretend that most of us are anything other than a horribly broken jukebox, playing half a dozen songs on an endless loop. And you'll have nobody but yourself (and, possibly, your internet service provider) to blame. Practice, or - and you can trust us on this - you will always suck. There is no shortcut to putting the time in, and that means playing until your fingers bleed, just like Bryan Adams did in that song you pretend you don't know all the words to.
