Guitar Conspiracy Theories

good info stevo

simply my goal since a kid was to be able to play the guitar and be able to play what i hear inside me, after 40ish years i’m beginning to understand how to reach that goal via spytunes, a […]

Stan,

I understand, and am in the same boat. Your approach is great “Soul To Speak” this is a great way to describe it and to never lose that direction. Guru is the best person to address how he believes it […]

wow stevo you type more words than i can spout by mouth LOL

all’s good and if your approach is something that is working then why change, i can tell from your writing that your a very technical minded person […]

Stan,

Keep in mind this a subjective opinion, and I discussing how I go about it versus selling something to someone.

Yes you pose an excellent question. I am also a life player starting over again when I […]

I’ve left all that out on purpose actually, it’s much better that you focus on learning the intervals on the actual guitar. The ear will connect later automatically if you know what the intervals are on the neck. Ear training in general is extremely over rated, to be honest there is only one way that [...]

I kind of feel for the beginning ear training, there isn’t enough info. Unless that is, I didn’t pick something up in the conspiracy pdf. We are given mp3 files to listen to, so we can pick out intervals, but what if your ear is so bad you can’t pick out what that first note [...]

Thanks to Jonathan and Guru ! It’s mostly a little frustrating for me because deciding to use the spytunes method takes some pushing myself.

P.S. A one hour sample routine for beginner might look something like this: – 20 Minutes of Spyders – 20 Minutes of Chords – 20 Minutes of Rhythm Exercises Of course, you should also be spending time trying to understand material in the Conspiracy – stick to material from your difficulty level in general, but [...]

I’m thinking that you’re frustrated because there is no set lesson pattern – there’s no “Step One – Do whatever”, but I find that sort of stucture unhelpful when learning guitar. The exercises at each level are (mostly) equally important. What you need to do is practice everything from a particular section, or pick out [...]

You are on the right track, as one user of the material to another, there is a lot of stuff in the references, as you indicate use spiders to start building you finger strength and dexterity, pick a couple topics from the text which build on what you may already know. Even if its a [...]

Done!

First one is here, check the index at the bottom, I’ve written the whole series in advance this time.
