Take the guitar skills survey
Taking a survey of your guitar and music knowledge is a start to creating a well rounded plan for development and furthering your guitar enjoyment.
I've been asked many times to put together a plan of attack for getting beyond the basics. These lesson pages are intended to provide material for developing your skills and expanding your music knowledge.
Music..., regardless of you instrument, involves these elements: Melody, Harmony and Rhythm, and putting it all together, Arrangement
Technique is the physical control and coordination need to play an insrument or sing. It involves position, effeciency of motion and effort, as well as exercises to develop specfic skills.

My personal philosophy on technique is... “Technique is like money, you would like to have more than you will ever need to be comfortable”. You don't want go for something musically and fall short with your technique. Even if your goal is NOT to be the next Pat Martino Chuck Anderson Jake Shimabukuro or James Hill it still would be nice to have the chops they have. Most great playing technique is based on efficient and economical motion. Doing as little as possible for best results. Getting the most bang for your buck.
Most players have a few holes or gaps in the music knowledge or technical skills, some more than others. Being able to identify those are a first step to improving or updating your skills on your instrument of choice.
James Hill uses the analogy of, loose change lying around.
I like to use the analogy of a recipe. You want to bake a cake you need a specific list of ingredients to have the cake turn out and taste good. If you are missing of few ingredients or don't know how to use them, you run to the store and get what you need and learn how to use them. A song is a recipe, it tells you what notes, chords, rhythms, etc. you need to create a performance.
WARNING: This is material developed over the past 30 years of studio teaching and performing. And It WORKS!!!.

Chords & Chord Progressions
Chord - A group of three or more different notes sounded together or almost together. These three note chords are called triads. Two notes are called an interval or dyad. Chords with four notes are called a tetra-chord or 4-part chord, six a hexachord, etc. Every chord can be given a specific name, based on the notes that constitute the chord and the distances, or intervals, between them and its harmonic function within a tonality or chord progression.
Chord Progression A series of chords played in order.

Can you read music? Should you read music?
YES!, every musician can benefit from learning to read music (period).
Is reading music easy?
Yes & NO - Yer for simple single note melodies and basic rhythms in open position but it gets a little harder after that. BUT - worth it.
Learning to read and write the language of music is well worth the time and effort it takes. Reading music opens you to a wealth of published music in standard music notation.
Do you know the names of the notes of the guitar fingerboard?
The better you know the names of the notes of the neck the less you have to rely on TAB or chord grids. There are just too many shapes to memorize.
Reading is Note and Rhythm Recognition, Fingerboard Note Location (name, string and fret) and Fingering Choices based on economy of motion or musical reasons.

Can you name the notes of any chord?. Start with the major and minor triads. Think of them as spelling words, most that can't be pronounced.
