This is another great video by thePlayerSupreme. Probably the best advice on women.

If you’re too lazy to watch this 20 minute long video, what this guy is explaining is that he wants us men to start being “men” and not being little boys (or little females) to get women. He makes some points that he wants us to stop watching his videos, reading dating e-books and other dating guru sites in youtube — he wants us to go out there… grow some balls and just do it.

If you like a woman… if you think she’s hot, beautiful and gorgeous or whatever — it shouldn’t be all that hard to walk up to her and say, “hi”. Start a conversation from there. As I said before, women won’t bite. They are down to earth people and once you start talking to women, they’ll make you feel like you’ve already known her for years so it shouldn’t be that hard to start a conversation with her.

What this guy says in this video… the truth maybe harsh but worth listening to.

Maybe this is why I haven’t had much experience with women over the years in my life ’cause I am admittedly shy over them but then again, I’m working on “conquering” my fear over women and have been growing more confident over them. He explains that “DOING IT” will help make you become more successful with women. I’ve admittedly made tons of mistakes with women over the years and learning from them. I’m just learning that women aren’t all that difficult and they are actually very easy.

I keep thinking that women won’t date me ’cause I don’t have a good job and don’t have a car/license but that’s just an excuse. I also keep thinking that women won’t date me ’cause they won’t find me good looking. That’s just me being insecure and I gotta stop that. Women will pretty much date any guy who has the confidence. If you have the balls to go up to talk to her, she will be impressed and she will probably like you for that. Be confident, treat her like a human being and with respect… she’ll probably date you. Making women feel “safe” is key to getting her to like you back. Make her feel safe and protected, she’ll pretty much do anything with you.

I would think that people in my life would try to hook me up with a woman but I guess it doesn’t work that way. Women won’t fall in your lap. I guess, I’m on my own that I need to get out there and get her myself.

I really do think I have what it takes to hook up with beautiful women. I think I am capable of loving them and making them happy. I just gotta get out there and prove everyone wrong. I know I can do this.

I’m almost 40 and need to settle in with a nice lady before I get any older.

I won’t pick up women from bars/clubs, though. That isn’t really my thing. I don’t really need a woman who is obsessed with drinking.

I wanna see if I can meet women in public places and help grow my confidence even more. I really need to get rid of my shyness. Gotta get worked on.

Greenwich is a small town. Not a lot to do around here but there are beautiful women all over  the place even for a small town. When I’m shopping at Hannaford grocery store, I see gorgeous women shopping all over the place. There’s Whipple City Festival coming in June in Greenwich so that’s an idea of a place to meet women. I just gotta find things to do in Greenwich where I can meet women. I gotta find some events and clubs and things like that in town. If I don’t wanna meet women at bars, there are other options. You just gotta think and come up with ideas.

This PlayerSupreme guy makes it seems real easy to get women. It probably is easy. Like I said, I just gotta go out there and “DO IT”. See how easy it really is.

I’ve been doing some googling on MIDI controllers, the ones that would allow you to hook-up to the Ipad. I think I’m gonna get myself one of those sometime in the future that way I can make my own backing tracks and have band back-up to my songs. I’ll get a MIDI controller with a keyboard on it and stuff. I don’t know anything about playing piano or the keyboards so I’m gonna have to buy a few instructional books to learn. I actually tried to learn how to play piano/keyboards in the past before a little bit, though.

The Ipad is a very handy tool for musicians and that’s one of the main reasons why I wanted an Ipad. Recording music on an Ipad is much more easier and quicker to record on than the PC. Plus, the sound quality is better and more cleaner than the PC.

I would like to get a MIDI controller so I can create all sorts of cool sounds with my music. I’ll be able to sing over orchestration or a brass ensemble and things like that. I’ve always wanted to sing over piano music too.

I’ve always wanted to learn how to play piano/keyboard/synthesizers and think I will soon.

I’m sure you can find a cheap MIDI controller that’ll cost about $100 or less and I’ve already found some. Maybe this Spring/Summer, I’ll order one.

This is pretty much another reason why I’m trying to learn music theory ’cause if you learn music theory… you’ll be able to work with MIDI much easier and you can make your backing tracks sound good and stay in key all the time.

I’ve always been trying to research and investigate the best ways to work with MIDI and I’ve think I’ve finally found the thing.

So I mentioned the word, “phrasing”, when talking about guitar playing. What is it? The way I look at “phrasing” in guitar playing when playing guitar solos is sounding musical. You want to make your lead guitar playing sound like it’s singing a song. When you can get your lead guitar playing to make it sound like it’s singing a song, that’s when you know you’re good at phrasing. Knowing all your techniques like slides, hammer on’s/pull off’s, string bending, vibratos, knowing your scales, finger exercises, etc. All that stuff is great but if you wanna get somewhere in your lead guitar playing, you gotta improve your “phrasing” which is what I’ve been working on.

There are so many guitarists out there who all they wanna do is show their technical skills and play a bunch of fast notes but all they’re doing is just playing a bunch of scales which would sound awful. It’s okay to show off but you don’t wanna over-do it. Less is more in guitar playing. You can still play an amazing guitar solo by just using 4 or 5 notes, that’s it. You just need to know how to “phrase” them and make them sound musical.

Nobody wants to hear fast guitar playing all of the time. They want to hear “music”.

A lot of musicians mistakenly believe that audiences get bored of long ten minute guitar solos. You see, that’s not always true. As long as you’re good at “phrasing” and making your guitar solos sound musical, then people can listen to you play for hours and get their face melted.

If you wanna melt people’s faces with your guitar playing… you have to make your lead guitar playing sound “musical”. I know I’m repeating myself but trying to make a point.

A lot of guitar players overlook, “phrasing”. I’m trying to improve myself on this too. If you want your guitar solo to work, “phrasing” is key.

This is a huge part of why I’m such a huge fan of Joe Satriani. The reason his music is so good ’cause he’s the master at “phrasing”. He can make his lead guitar playing sound so memorable and catchy… you’ll never forget his lead guitar lines. That’s the goal. While I’m a big Satch fan and have a lot of his albums in my music collection, I still think, “Surfing With the Alien” is his best album. Even if you’re not into shred music at all, I’d still recommend you listen to that album. It is a classic shred album and that was the album that helped made the Satch so iconic. I can listen to “Surfing With the Alien” over and over and never get tired of it. It’s one of my favorite records. If you want a perfect example of good “phrasing” in guitar playing listen to that album.

Don’t get me wrong, though, I do like shred and fast notes but you want to play the solo that is right for the song.

I really want to become a great lead guitar player and doing all I can to get there. I just don’t wanna get too ahead of myself and taking my slow time.

I’m tired of being looked at as a rhythm player and songwriter. It’s time for people to know that I can play “guitar” and not just some dude writing songs.
