"Watching videos won’t help you improve as much as spending more time playing the guitar. Try taking the idea from one video at a time and woodshedding it for an entire week. Dull as it may seem, this is what it means to put in the work."
Man do I relate to this. After spending the last year watching too many videos and not practicing enough (or in the right ways) I was stalling. I came across an excellent teacher on YouTube named Eric Haugen and he emphasizes "woodshedding" one part of a lick or song for an entire practice session. It has helped my playing a lot.
Right on. You really can’t do any better than Eric Haugen on a Friday. He consistently comes up with something useful to work on week after week. If you can spend a week trying to lock into whatever he teaches, you’ll become a much better guitarist in a year’s time. He’s the one to follow if you want to develop better skills, taste, and grooves all at once.
I like that his videos are short and concise, yet they give you a lot to work on.

Great writing!

How do I learn more about WHERE alt-chords (sus, dim, etc) fit into a progression or "hinge" two chord/sections together?
Thank you for this, I needed this!!
Thank you.
