Most of us blew through the beginner stage fast. Then we got stuck. Intermediate guitar is where players sit for years — sometimes a decade — without really knowing why they aren't getting better.

I was there. And looking back, there are 5 specific things I wish someone had told me that would have pulled me out of the plateau and into actually understanding what I was doing on the instrument.

In this video we cover shell voicings and why playing fewer notes makes you sound better in a band, triad inversions and how they get you out of the cowboy chord rut (using Little Wing as the example), how to blend rhythm and lead so you can play like your favorite guitar players do, the major modes and why the intervallic approach beats the relative approach every time, and the one thing I got completely wrong about music theory for years — and how that misunderstanding was actually holding me back.

If you're an intermediate guitar player trying to get to the next level, this is the stuff that moved the needle for me.
