Forum friends!! Good day! I don't post here much but that is only because I am practicing and working on my music career each day! Can't post and practice at the same time! Seriously, I am still in genuine woodshed mode!
So, it has been 1 year since I set out to really develop and master my skills on guitar in country music. I have an original post here somewhere with a video file (which has since been re-recorded at much faster speeds LOL)
Here is a new video (There are several now on YT): The content of the video is my 3rd original FULL song tune that I teach on my new instructional DVD which is aimed at the aspiring professional. It is an intermediate/advanced instructional disc that is very complete (3 discs). It should be available in 8 weeks. I teach exactly what I did to gain such huge improvements in a year. Mindset, tools and practice content for rapid growth. I find it best to learn/improve when you put yourself into a position to teach what you want to learn. I still have a great road ahead obviously, but I am enjoying each step of the process.
Included in the DVD are my resources and PG Music is mentioned often as BIAB has been such a big help in my progress (massive understatement). That said, in this tune you may recognize the first 10 notes of the solo as coming directly from my PG Brent Mason Guitar Star course LOL, which is mentioned as well. It was intentional. You'll also recognize the drums as a RT foundation for all of the tunes.
Anyway, thank you for watching and any comments here or on YouTube are really appreciated! BTW, the whole tune is pretty cooking to play but if you just want the fastest stuff, the solo starts at 1:30 LOL!
Rodney - truly phenomenal. Is it possible to get any better than you already are? Can't even imagine. Hope you are well and things are going well for you... floyd

Thank You Floyd! I am well and hope the same to you!
Improve? Ha Ha...Goodness yes! I feel like I have stepped through Stage 1 which now allows me the chance to look at whats happening in Stage 2. A bit more serious in Stage 2! Sometimes, even as a professional I find myself playing with players who really have it...and the contrast drives me back to books! The whole journey is the whole jounrey! 10,000 hours and all. Cheers!

Well, the journey started here 1 year ago. It was Thanksgiving last year I bought BIAB 2103 Everything Pak. I hope that my next year has even greater improvement and success.

Thank you Mac! I sincerely appreciate it. I feel VERY inspired to improve this year. Once you get a bit of a feel for the progress, it just adds gasoline to the flame! I found some new teachers and a re-commitment to the fundamentals. Plus 2 new DVDs coming out in next couple of months. Exciting stuff! Cheers!
One of the first things I noticed as a young man who was rather graciously given the chance to perform with a few of the much older jazz players out there was that those cats, some well into their 70s, were STILL enjoying the art and practice of woodshedding.
And, not a single one of them suffered from sedentary mental dementia, either. Sharp as tacks, just slower to get out of the chair kinda thang.
I'll never forget one of those oldsters, a trombonist first and foremost who could also play every other instrument in the bigband, or so it seemed, his term for "Alzheimer's" --
He called it, "OldTimer's Disease" - and then would usually follow that up with the old, "You gotta use it, or you will lose it!"
Ever witness an 80 year old Judokan or Sensei on the mat, taking out handfuls of much younger attackers and never breaking a sweat?
