In today’s podcast, I’m talking about my new course, The Fingerpicking Bootcamp, which is a clear, actionable, fun course designed to give you something for the short term and the long term. Long term, you don’t want to burn out or injure yourself, but short term you want to see results and that’s what this course is all about.

I talk a bit about all the things we cover in the 21 days of the course, including rhythms, triads, Travis picking, fingerpicking patterns, riffs and pumps, and more. I also play some examples of the different patterns you can learn in the course and discuss some of the super useful bonuses you’ll get with the course.

In today’s podcast, we’re looking at three things that can improve your guitar playing. First off, I talk about the importance of sleep. I talk about the three stages of sleep, sleep hygiene and the importance of getting a good night’s sleep. Maximising your sleep is certainly going to make you feel more focused when practising.

In the second part of the episode, I talk about expanding your dynamic range in your strumming and how to improve your strumming overall. I cover a range of tips and tricks and also offer advice on what picks to use for strumming.

Today’s episode is all about the bad habit of relying on your sense of sight too much. I use an example that Billy Joel brings up about a wrong notation for one of his songs. It often happens that people rely on their eyes over their ears. Sometimes you might be misreading some notation, but it’s important to trust your ears so as not to make mistakes.

In the second part of the episode, I give you a fun little challenge to test your ears. I play a couple of chords and give you the chance to work them out for yourself before revealing the answer. It’s useful to do little challenges like this to train your ears.
