<p>Your identity becomes clear when life happens. After 5 years of YouTube, I'm leaning into a new path.</p> <p>If you're reading this, you're a steadfast supporter of the Acoustic Tuesday Show. I've released a weekly show focused on all things acoustic guitar for over five years. When people ask me what I do, I say I teach guitar and host a weekly show on YouTube. </p> <p>Needless to say, the Acoustic Tuesday Show is a big part of my identity. To let it go is absolutely terrifying. Any change to your identity is complicated. If you've retired or changed the kind of work you do, you know what I'm talking about.</p> <p>But there's a reason why change happens. I'm fortunate enough to have a fantastic family that I know I want to spend more time with. Ending the Acoustic Tuesday show gives me more flexibility to focus on high-quality guitar content and spend time with my family in a way that will be more meaningful and impactful to both you and me. </p> <p>Acoustic Tuesday will end, but my time on YouTube is far from over. My goal is to become the best guitar guide on the internet. I want to create a place where you can be supported in mind, body, and spirit in your guitar journey. </p> <p>#acousticguitar 00:00 - Intro 02:36 - Change is terrifying 05:22 - Why Acoustic Tuesday is over 10:00 - Better guitarists in mind, body, and spirit 15:41 - How you helped me 18:40 - Why we're here</p>

<p>Cut the gimmicks and tricks — it's time to sit down and LEARN.</p> <p>On this episode of Acoustic Tuesday, I'm unveiling the secrets to learning a new song swiftly and effectively. Grab your guitars and notebooks because you won't want to miss this one!</p> <p>In this episode, I'm breaking down the process into two fundamental parts to prevent you from feeling swamped or overwhelmed. Remember, understanding and mastering a song doesn't have to be a strenuous endeavor. Let's dive right into it!</p> <p>Part 1: Mastering the Essential Skills I'm going to walk you through breaking a song into five vital skills that are your stepping stones to mastering any tune:</p> <p>Technique: Breaking a song down into its essential techniques helps focus on the essentials. If you can't do what the song requires, dial it back and practice specific techniques. Licks: These are moments of flourish or melodic expression that add style and memorability to any song. Isolating these moments and solely focusing on them during a playing session can help allocate your time. Improvising: Explore the art of personalizing the song, making it uniquely yours, and getting more comfortable expressing yourself. Rhythm: It's the heartbeat of the song, and I'll share tips on how to nail it every time. Chord Transitions: We’ll go through smooth transitions to ensure a melodious flow throughout.</p> <p>📖 Part 2: Understanding the Context In the second half of our episode, I underscore the importance of learning the context of a song. </p> <p>Trust me, it's a game-changer. Imbibing the history and the essence of the song not only enriches your rendition but also fuels your passion to honor the song and its roots. We'll travel back in time to discover the stories behind the tunes, fostering a deeper connection and inspiration as you play.</p> <p>By the end of this episode, you'll find that learning a new song is no longer a daunting task, but a joyous journey of discovery and mastery.</p> <p>Featured in this episode... - David Flammang Guitars - Michael Kennedy Guitars - Cameron Knowler - Jake Eddy</p>
