Ep144 – The Rules of the Asylum: Rule #29 – Stop Torturing Yourself With the Way You Learn Guitar

from The Acoustic Asylum · host Dan Thorpe

In today’s episode, we’re talking about a new rule of the Asylum: stop torturing yourself with the way you learn. Most guitarists quit because they think they’re not good enough, but often it’s cause the way they’re learning is actually torturing them. There is a better way. I take you through the most common mistakes people make and how to avoid them. Listen to discover the best ways you can approach your learning that will help you feel better about your playing and enjoy the journey.   If you enjoyed this podcast, you can get my free, special one-finger arrangement of Amazing Grace - ideal for those who are new, stuck, or just want a beautiful song to play.
