I bought Music Is Win's guitar system today

[Shreddy Mercury]

I'm already quite impressed. Though I've been playing for close to 30 years and learned and forgotten TONS of licks, riffs, solos, etc, I never really paid too much attention to theory. I did it and music appreciation classes back in high school in like 1998 but that's all long gone. However, I've already had 2 pretty useful revelations in just watching a handful of videos from it today. Adding chromaticism to just a basic pentatonic scale for a little extra flavor in basic blues sounding licks and more importantly, the formula for building any mode out of 3 note per string patterns. I already knew how to build modes from the major scale, and have known that for years, but the very little I intentionally played with them, I just used the same fingering pattern and started/ended on different notes. Fine for building very simple licks if I had wanted, but not easy to play since not all parts were 3 notes per string. He showed the basic patterns for starting each mode, then how to add them together in a particular sequence to build 3 note per string mode runs.

I'm already quite excited with just what I've learned today and now I have some new stuff to add to practice sessions to increase my knowledge and tricks to draw from when I want to jam over something.

Right on man. Everyone has an opinion on Tyler’s YouTube channel, but he is a great player and I’ve heard lots of good things about him as a teacher.
The great thing about guitar is that you can always learn something new, no matter how long you’ve been playing.

That’s awesome, I never looked at his, but I did buy the Beato courses. He had a special in early January, all 4 of his courses for $79 or $99 can’t remember. They are really good, I’ve been working through the courses called “Beato Book Interactive” and enjoying it.

I figured $60 was way cheaper than taking lessons from someone local for long enough for some things to start making sense and lights to go off in my head

Never knew about this. I will probably get into it.

I wish there were some demo videos of it or he had a free section people could look at to see what it was like, but I just figured I'd go for it. I knew I could at least get $60 worth out of all the videos he has in it.

I've been thinking about super system vs Tim Pierce's course. Tim's is like $150 per year.

There's always something to learn, always

I thought he only did subscriptions? Where'd you get this deal?

Actually, a few years ago I bought his Guitar Super System Level 1 course off Udemy for $10. He had it broken down to three courses and I should have bought them all because they were all $10 a piece. He has since pulled out of that and doesn't support them anymore which is cheesy of him but I still have access to the original one.

I thought it was pretty mind blowing. He is basically teaching you what you would learn at Berkley and there is some cool stuff there. It has been a while since I have gone through it but the three note per string patterns blew my mind the way he teaches them. There were a couple of other things too.

The guy is a little obnoxious but these lessons are worth $60 for sure.

I just got offered a year's subscription for Lick Library for half price and jumped on it. I've learned a ton from them.

 

[Shreddy Mercury]

It's $10 a month or $60 for the year, that's what I did, a year's subscription. I should be able to get most of what I need for $60 in a year.

I signed up for David Wallimans courses last year. it just comes down to finding a teacher you can connect with.

I thought about doing this a couple of years ago on a black friday sale and it was $5 a month then.. He has to pay for that mini mansion he lives in now in Nashville I guess. I did sign up for a free month and discovered that most of the good stuff was in the Super System 1 course I own and have lifetime access to at Udemy so I cancelled. He wasn't really happy about it because he made a smart ass remark in the email but he cancelled it. The level 1 system I own is enough to keep me busy for a lifetime.. so glad I got it there when it was available for $10. I like the format of it more at Udemy than his subscription system too. But he is a great teacher and player and blew my mind like no other teacher or lesson I've ever had. If I ever master the system 1 have I might sign up for his subscription and see if the more advanced lessons are worth it. Several things are free on his YT channel too.. or used to be. $60 is still a great deal for all that IMO.

i dont know why but i hate that channel

I don't hate it but I had to cancel my subscription to his YT channel because he annoys me a lot there. You can tell his is raking in the dough from his millions of followers on YT and his subscription plan though.

Nice to see folks discussing improving as players rather than acquiring more gear.
