Electric Guitars History

You think to yourself: why is it I don’t seem to be improving? Electric Guitars History What am I doing wrong? How can I play for so long, day after day, sweating over these tab books, and still not be much better?

My friend, you are not alone. All the greats have found themselves lost in this desperate wasteland, known as: the plateau. You’ve most likely heard of this place, for it exists in every form of human endeavour. Well, now you’ve arrived. I know I spent many years in there. I had all the guitar tab books, the magazines, the backing track CD’s, the videos – everything. But I’d hit a brick wall. So I took a step back, and it remains the best thing I’ve ever done for my guitar skill.

I stopped wasting time with music notation, forcing myself to learn scales, etc, etc. I also pushed aside the guitar tab and said, “That’s enough”. I completely changed my tack. I instead would come home from college, and switch on my CD player, and play a random shuffle of whichever CD happened to be in it at the time, guitar music or not. I simply started to find my way around the fretboard, not making too much sense, but finding my way, forging unique runs and licks that would make their way into my own, new, unique style of play.

Then I started to play along to different radio stations, regardless of the kind of music they played. Indie, R n’ B, blues, jazz, classical, Spanish, rock, hip hop. You name it, I played guitar along to it. And when I say, “Played along to it”, I mean I identified the root note of the songs very quickly, allowing me to construct the chords, and strum along. And I was also developing eyes in my fingertips, meaning my fingers could slide all over the fretboard, and I’d know exactly where to go next to play the note I wanted.

This was golden, and this period of time produced a great spurt in my guitar playing. By ditching the notation and tab, I had forced myself to learn the guitar by ear. I wish I’d done it sooner. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am not suggesting you stop taking guitar lessons, and learning scales. But at the very least, in your ‘guitar time’, I’d strongly recommend your accompanying your theory with outright improvisation. I think this is a big problem with a lot of players, that they never leave the tab. They are constantly learning the new songs of their favourite bands, note-for-note. Such a shame.

What’s stopping you from giving it a go? At least, make an effort, one day. Just try and play along to whatever is playing on your mp3 player or radio. The first time you try, you will likely be miserable if you’ve never attempted it before. But keep trying, dear friend. There is talent within you. Give it chance to grow, and who knows what you could achieve with your guitar-playing.
