Wouldn’t it be nice if you could play everything you ear in your head and you can play everything being played on your stereo at home? That’s the kind of guitar player I wanna be and doing everything I can to get there. I’ve always been an ear player mostly but I was never that good at it in the past but my ear in playing guitar is getting better and better. I wanna be that kind of guitar player where I can jam to anything and jam with anyone without struggling and getting lost, ya know what I mean? I wanna be that type of guitar player where people won’t tell me what to play and won’t tell me what key to play in and I can come in without any fear.

It does take years and hours of practice to get there. It could take all day and months to practice your ear training and trying to memorize the sound of the notes. That’s the key to making it. Memorizing the sound of each note in your head. It’ll be an easier way to write songs and get ’em out of your head faster.

I’ve always dreamed of being that kind of guitarist where I could just play anything that I hear.

There are different ways to get there and you can start by jamming along to your favorite songs. Trying to figure out the riffs and guitar leads by ear. Stop looking at guitar tab and figure everything out by listening. I’ve been doing that more often and it definitely helps. There are also tons of ear training courses you can take through instructional books and DVD’s. Now that the Apple stuff is here, there are tons of ear training apps you can get too. Jamming along to backing tracks is another good idea.

It’s my dream to become this kind of guitar player ’cause I kind of wanna be like my heroes ya know? My big three favorite guitarists: Jimmy Page, Hendrix and Joe Satriani.

It is why I slowed down on the songwriting a lot ’cause I’m trying to improve my guitar playing and take it to the next level. Hoping to bring my “intermediate” guitar skills to the advanced level.

Sooner or later you’ll see me playing in a rock n’ roll band. Not sure when it’s gonna happen but it’s definitely something I like to do sometime in the future when I’m ready. I’m kind of tired of being the acoustic guy and wanna get into the rock n’ roll thing. I’m just trying to improve my lead guitar skills before the band thing can happen though. The reason I wanna try to improve my lead guitar skills is simply because I wanna rock out and play some “face melting” solos and have a blast!

I love guitar playing more than anything. If I don’t get “women” in my life… that’s okay ’cause music is my relationship and I’m not ashamed to say that. Music is my love and what I do.
