Hi Arty!

I know for me I only watch one video per day and then rewatch them often, take notes, and then do the work. The watching isn't the issue but how much have you learned it but also how you can deliver it as a player. And I think the later part takes much longer than understanding the concepts.

For example, I have been working on Triad-Fundamentals for close to a year now. If I had stopped and moved on I don't think the depth of understanding would be there as it is now.

Work on the fundamentals and make them as strong as stone! Then the next steps will flow so much more easily.

Have a good one!

Hi , Arty ! Nice to meet you , I been here to learn guitar music almost four months now , so happy we are classmate !

According to my situation & need , I selected several different sections and have note book to recored the question of different part , another function is , the notebook can inspire me to keep going , But I think the biggest benefit is , If we write the question about we practice , then next time we can carry this question to watch the video again , this way for me can have new gain , and can help me to review the each lesson not feel repetitive , and inspire me to find the problem about my learning journey.

My watching plan is based on " Be kind to myself "
· Essential Music Theory
·Foundation Technique
·Fretboard Mastery : Triads
·Sight Reading
This plan is set up little by little , first is Foundation Technique, My speed is very slowly , because in my situation , have so many bad habit need to fix .

Thank you to create this thread , help me to understand my learning plan .

Best wishes

Hi Arty, nice to meet you!
I just joined GM last month.
And I'm interested in how everyone learns.
Thanks for making this thread!

I also try to take notes in a notebook, but I'm not good at using it.
I feel I need to learn how to use a notebook.
Jiayang's posts are very helpful and inspiring.
Thank you, Jiayang!

Hello Arty,
I try to get my foundational work in early. I spend about 10 to 30 minutes on each item. In the morning, I practice the chromatic exercise, Triads (3 Ways) and R37 swing groove first always. I might watch the QAP01 Foundation test level one to practice with Tomo or go to the Fretboard mastery triad lessons, or to Jazz Standards to work on R37.
Then I watch and continue work on a sight-reading lesson. That all takes about 30 to 90 minutes, I take a break.
Later I resume with Essential Music Theory or Foundation Chords or Blues Foundation lessons. I practice Bb blues etudes, Bb Walking Bass,( Blue Monk) each day. I watch walking bass, etude and soloing videos so I can practice with Tomo.
If I can get all that done and I feel good I might keep going on songs like Room 418 or Chicken Shack
Just trying to stay motivated and being consistent about getting in the foundational practice first.
