since you can’t read between the lines, I’ll spell it out for you: it’s never been more over for guitarists than it is right now. even the top session players are giving lessons. if you’re looking to gig you’re going to be competing with at least a dozen other people

>>
>>128956379
i would argue learning and playing guitar is more popular than ever, but actually being good at/sounding unique while playing guitar is at a low that we haven’t seen since the 50s
you hear guitar everywhere, even in advertisements and rap and shit, but its bland and soulless
its why studio guitarists should be viewed as the soulless husks that they are. Literally subhumans
>>
>>128956411
>sounding unique at guitar is rare
It's always been that way.
There's always been 10,000 Joe Bonamassas for every Jeff Beck.
>>
>>128956411
I think it’s a combination of no one wants to hear anything new but they also don’t want cover bands, and musical education is geared towards learning theory first and thinking with theory instead of using theory to develop your ear. I’ve learned to play several different instruments and education that is available/commonly used by guitarists is among the worst. They have the most gear demos though, go figure.

>>
>>128956456
yeah i generally agree
i thank God that i learned multiple other instruments and discovered my love of music BEFORE finding guitar as a kid, and then autistically ramming my head into the wall of self teaching instead of online tutorials or anything
its basically the only reason i sound any different than most other people on the instrument
>>
>>128956456
Take for instance Sleep Token. It’s literally just mumble rap over a slowed/reverb weed beat. If there’s a guitar in there, it’s inaudible, same for bass and drums. I’m sure their entire discography could be recreated on a 16 key sample board. That’s what people want to listen to though.
>>
>>128956514
i look like i could be guy in the middles brother lol
>>128956527
never heard sleep token, seems like some gay slop redditors shill more than anything
just enjoy marching to the beat of my own drum at this point, fame does not interest me as music is more a way for me to just express the way that i feel than try and prove anything to anyone
>>
>>128956516
Hell yeah man that’s awesome. I had the complete opposite experience: I learned traditional theory etc but my first and current gig is playing gospel in a black church band. Everyone is 30+ years self taught; I had to relearn everything from the ground up.
>>
>>128956411
All digital signal lines and youtube paint by numbers learning
>>
>>128956556
I mean, thats not entirely dissimilar asides from my perspective ive literally never played guitar with anyone else
a blessing and a curse, i can come up with pretty lines and can shred etcetra but i cant even play to a backing track lol
its either i build the entire track from the ground up or it doesnt work
>>
>>128956516
>and then autistically ramming my head into the wall of self teaching instead of online tutorials or anything
This is the way. If you didn't learn the pentatonic by brute force playing Zeppelin tabs and autisticly noticing the patterns you didn't learn it the right way.

I didn't have a clue how to play all seven notes in a solo until I started playing Grateful Dead tabs. RIP Jer Bear

>how to play all seven notes in a solo
Uh I just figured this one out on my own after starting with Zep and Hendrix tabs. I just kinda filled in the blanks of the pentatonic on my own.

i specifically made an effort to never learn the pentatonic scale. my brains default scale shape on guitar is major
>>
>>128956831
the real aha moment is using scales to train your ear and using your voice to improvise on your instrument. if you hum a solo it will naturally drift in and out of different scales

And then you break free from the prison when you realize that there are no wrong notes and you just need to stay in time and play with groove.
Stay in time and play with swing and groove in a way that makes people want to dance. That's the goal. Do this and you'll always sound good to normies. They won't notice if you hit wrong notes - they'll just think you're being "jazzy," but they'll absolutely notice if your timing is shit and your playing lacks groove.

>>128956831
>>realizing that every major/minor scale actually has three pentatonic box shapes
It has a continuous pattern across the fretboard from end to end. You can make a "box" pretty much anywhere you want to stop.
>>realizing that the best blues cats mix the major and minor scales seamlessly
No, the "aha" is that the relative major/minor are the exact same damn notes and there is no such thing as mixing them seamlessly because by definition you are always playing both no mixing required.

>It has a continuous pattern across the fretboard from end to end. You can make a "box" pretty much anywhere you want to stop.
Specifically, what I meant is that every minor scale has two additional pentatonic box shapes which are identical to the one everyone learns. One is five half steps up the neck from the standard pentatonic box and the other is seven.
IIRC Jimmy Page once wrote about this in Guitar World.

doot doot
doot doot doot doot
doot doot
dooot dooot dooot
then some outro little solo durududurudurdururu doot doot
like that. Interpret that however you can with guitar.
