What were those important milestones in your learning journey as a musician and guitar player?


For me it was something like this:

- started to play, learned open chords
- started to learn barre chords
- started to practice minor pentatonic scale
- jamming along side radio/favorite artists
- reading some music theory (very important milestone)
- started getting into modes
- playing with the band
- composing songs
- starting with improvisation exercises (starting to practice without metronome)
- practicing chords and scales in more detail
- started working on arpeggios
- broadening my style range
- giving weight to every note, and polishing up technique
- back to practice once again cool.gif

Well I'm far from being a good player, but so far, and in this order:

1. Learn basic chords
2. Learn and sing simple songs along with chords
3. 10 years gap without playing
4. GMC
5. Pentatonic/minor/major scales
6. Improvising over backing tracks
7. Playing covers (no singing)

Hmmm, good question.. I'll try to dust away the cobwebs of my mind..

- My first open chords
- Learning to jam
- getting an electric guitar / amp
- discovering distortion
- Barre chords
- first band / playing with other musicians
- learning to compose / arrange songs
- focusing on improving my tone
- realising that refining technique is a lifetime journey.. and here I am smile.gif
