I have a confession to make to you today… at times I suffer from “isuckitis.”
It’s a chronic condition that affects nearly 100% of guitar players and has several visible symptoms:
- Feelings of frustration when the thing you could play on your guitar yesterday sounds like you’ve never even tried today…
- Thinking that every other guitar player at the local open jam sounds better than you on the exact same amp…
- Compelling desires to buy a new guitar, amp, or pedal based on the conviction that it is guaranteed to make you sound better…
- As symptoms persist and get more severe, there is a higher propensity to spend time on guitar related websites and forums, and less time actually playing the guitar…
- In extreme cases it is even characterized by putting the guitar in its case and then putting the case in a closet or under a bed…
But you don’t have to suffer from “isuckitis,” and it is curable with a bit of determination…
- Record yourself today playing something that is a struggle. In 30 days record yourself playing it again, and again in 60 days… you’ll be surprised at how you sound when you aren’t paying attention to it every single day.
- Realize that one of the best learning tools you have is attached to the sides of your head – your ears. Spend time listening and paying attention to music as much as you spend playing it.
- Look at any internet TAB or free online video with your “filters” on… if it sounds wrong, it just might be because the person who posted it might not actually be that much better than you.
- Remember that it’s called playing guitar for a reason… it’s not supposed to be work (unless you make a living at it and then there are definitely days when it is… but it’s still the coolest job ever.)
- Forget about anyone else – you don’t ever have to be better than anyone else. Music is about expressing yourself and enjoying the sounds you make with your guitar, not about impressing anyone (though it’s nice when it happens, don’t hang your hat on it or you’re bound to be unhappy.)
If you know someone suffering from “isuckitis,” let them know it can be treated and there is hope after “isuckitis…”

Thanks, Griff! You always have the right words at the right moment.
dear griff..merry christmas to you and your family,,,,griff you are absulutly right.i bought your blues unleashed course over five years ago and once a week i go through it im 100 percent better but i still have problems with certain things…isuckitis used to apply to me but with your help and the weeky e-mails with the tips you give us im slowly making it my own,,,,,thank you v ery much,happy new year to you and your family and all of the people that follow your teaching.
Thanks for the tip. I spend to much time just playing with no recording, metronome, or backing tracks. On thing I have seen though for me is I am starting to find my nitch or vibe so to speak nitch meaning what I’m capable of, what sounds good. There’s thousands of ways to enter solos and improvise for me it’s keep on going making noise like a knucklehead till I start finding my own “nitch”.
Just when I needed that most!!!
Kurt Vonnegut passed on this nugget: “I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them. I was raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could “Win” at them.”
Here’s another PSA for Griff’s family of guitarists: I really, strongly encourage all to go to YouTube and find a series of videos called “Homeskoolin'” (503 chorusecho), originally named “Corona Lessons”. It is put on by the #1 call session guitarist in Nashville, one Tom Bukovac. Tom has toured with Vince Gill, Joe Walsh, John Fogerty, and on and on and is on hundreds and hundreds of records with an amazingly large variety of well-known people (Carrie Underwood, Blake Shelton, etc, etc).
He gives what he calls “lessons” but the best part is his opening “jam” that is always amazing, mesmerizing and chock full of musical “nutrition”. Uncle Larry, as he calls himself, like Griff, advocates listening to as much “musically nutritious” music as you can. Use you ears to learn. I’ve been with Uncle Larry form the beginning, and he now has > 45,000 subscribers since starting the series in March after Nashville locked down. Folks, you won’t be sorry if you joins the Homeskoolin’ family. Best thing is, you can be in Griff’s family as well as Uncle Larry’s.
Griff: Thanks for the PSA. I’ve been at guitar about 11 years, picking it back up after dropping it after college. Among other big mistakes I’ve made in 65 years dropping it after college was really dumb. But, I love it so I persist.
Recently I concluded that my absolute ceiling as a guitar player is mediocrity. Just this week I was wondering why I’m doing this, and seriously considering putting the guitars away. Four years of diligent practice and I still am not good enough to let anyone hear me. Oh, well, I’ll keep plugging away for a while.
But Mark, are you having fun at it? Are you learning? Is it keeping your brain engaged? If so, just lower the bar a little and stick with it. It’s okay if the only one you are doing it for is you.
mark bill here i am just like you i have ben playing for about 12 years i also would like to be mediocore i practice every day i refuse to quit i am 84 years old maybe one day someone will ask me to sit in the back of a band and play that is my lifes desire mark dont quit my wife hears me and she says i am improving best wishes bill
Mark – I recently retired (October 2020) and have finally been able to start consistently using my home recording studio and to begin recording myself playing with a backing track. I use it for BGU solos as well as just noodling to a backing track. It’s truly amazing to hear yourself over time and goes a long way to understanding how much you actually improve when you think you aren’t improving! I strongly recommend setting up a DAW as opposed to recording with a cell phone. It’s not very costly! I’ve been playing five years while working so I’m not where I’d hoped to be after 5 years, but when I think back, I’m happy with my progress. BTW – I started BGU in 2017 and have only got to solo 3 (and now moving on to solo 4) due to other time suckers! Now I practice a lot more and see comparable progress!
THANKS GRIFF I NEEDED THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!
Griffin, I appreciate this advice, I needed it today. I especially like the last point: I don’t have to try to be better than anyone else. I just want to be better than I was yesterday, and take that day by day.
Ditto, ditto, ditto to about 15 of those remarks up there. I have been struggling for about 6 years now trying to learn how to play the guitar. I have subscribed to as many as 6 tutoring sites for a year each. I have bought a few of Griffs courses also. My hero is the Twangy Guitar guy Sam, I have purchased song lessons from him and he is my hero. I slow his Youtube demo’s down to follow his lead…..anyway, yes, Suckites hangs out here also but I just keep plugging away and enjoy the hours I put in. I practice on my elect guitar, (no amp) while watching TV with my wife, she puts her headset on to listen to the TV and it doesn’t bother her at all. This way I’m around and not down in my practice area and we spend more time together each day…..:) Thanks Griff for the post.
Yo, The antidote to Isuckitis is…PRACTICE EVERY DAY. It’s like going to the gym…just do it.
Absolutely. Some days I am on top and then other days I am not getting it when I figured it out two days before. So timely…

I’m the world’s greatest guitar player! I make Clapton, Page, Hendrix, Bonanassa, SRV, Walsh, Vai, Carlton, Baxter, et al sound like they have “Isuckitis”!!!
I can also fly around the room and speak every language in the world while levitating!
Wanna buy some bridges I’m selling…Cheap?

Griff, I have “isuckitis” ever once in awhile. Some days I wake up and play like I really own the music; then in a couple of days, I stink. But as you say keep on going, for my playing is for me, my expression of playing. Thank you for that reinforcement.
Thanks !!!
Oh my gosh, Griff. Your message couldn’t have been more timely for me. This past Sunday my praise team played our annual Christmas show including “rocked” up hymns and some TSO stuff. I play a solo, electric guitar, blues version of “Oh Holy Night” ……….. and I completely messed it up. So bad that I told my wife that I was selling all my stuff and quitting.
She said it was great but I knew better. Thanks for the words of encouragement and to let me know I’m not alone.
This is funny; synchronicity. Just yesterday, while practicing, I found myself saying to myself, “You sound terrible!!” (Was beginning new material.) I felt isuckitis all throughout my whole body. So, I hung my guitar up for a while and went to study some theory (so I wouldn’t have to hear myself.) Later on, I took the guitar down and said to myself, “Oh well, at least there isn’t anybody near to hear you, so get on with it!!” I spent the next hour struggling away. But I know it will all come right if I just keep at it. I remember when I first tried to form a C major chord. I have small hands and I couldn’t reach those far away frets. But today, I can form a C major chord with the best of them. So, I use this to remind myself that (a) Rome wasn’t built in a day, and (b) if I give up, then I surely won’t be able to do it, and (c) being able to do a wobbly version of something is better than not doing it at all. Thanks for the support, Griff. You were being psychic when you posted this message. 😀
Good post, Griff. My personal perspective on this issue is, “I don’t suck as bad as I used to…” Covers a wide range….
Not just guitar, singing too. I listen to it and think, “jeez, that’s grim, a bit of the note, out of time, croaky…” and my wife thinks it’s good. Go back to it ages later and it’s like listening to somebody else’s singing is ok.
I don’t even like it if I strum a backing rhythm track which is not exactly difficult.
Funny old world.
I think my biggest problem is self esteem and confidence. I know how to play, I just need to forget everything else, dive into my music and play. Memorizing helps too.
This mental space at times invades all efforts in life. After not playing for years I picked up the guitar and felt like a real idiot., but as an older, somewhat wiser person I remembered that I love the vastness and scope of the guitar and the mantra is.. have patience with myself. This is the key.. not to judge and learn to play “in” the music and not “at” the music.
Knowing that the Blues is key to most everything, I found Griff and began learning again.. step by step. I admit there are still many times of frustration and I work hard to center myself, sometimes come back to it later but I’ve made great progress and I’m back to completing an album that’s not bad if I say so myself.. Griff and patience was the key!!
Hey Griff,
Typing Error- eye sight above, Managed to tune the new STRINGS (6) to pitch.
Michael-Sydney-Australia
Hey Griff,
I see some great stories here and I do recall I have suffered from isuckitis a couple of times (even though I have mentioned above that I don’t suffer.) but I don’t give up I keep going.This story proves my determination to succeed.: I wanted to change the strings on my EPIPHONE Dot 335 semi hollow Cherry Red…. yesterday, normally a simple thing of about 5 mins, but I have just had Cataract surgery on my left eye two weeks ago and still in the eye drops period with stiches still in and my right eye yet to be operated on for Cataract. My glasses all out of focus. Greatly struggled took 2 hours but using a magnifying glass managed to get them in and tune the new string to pitch and play a few bars of a BGU Course Tore Down…
No Problem.

follow up to the “CURE” in case anyone didn’t get the comparison – your guitar will treat you much better than your clubs.
It occurred to me after reading most of these comments that I already know how to relieve the symptoms brought about by unrealistic expectations (AKA isuckitis), if not the cure for this condition — go play a round of golf then come back to your chosen instrument.
Thanks for the morale booster Griff. And thanks for relating with people who are just learning. R
Funny and true
Forgot to add that while no hero I’ve been blessed enough to play on some big stages with some big names and while I won’t nae them for fear of ruining sponsorship deals and cred among the fans I will say that very often you will find behind that big row of Marshal stacks etc you will often find a couple of mint AC30s or blues juniors miked up
Choose kit with your ears not your eyes
such a relief to know that the world and his dog suffers from Isuckitis not just me
my 2 discoveries to share are 1 just keep practising the break throughs come t the least expected moment and take you by pleasant surprise
Been collecting amps since the 1970s so got my first VoxAC50 in 76 for £45 lucky me I never throw anything away no I’m not married but lately iv’e had them all serviced by a genius really genius maths degree from Oxford England. love them all dearly but the most recent aquisition is my fender blues junior I think it has a different name in the states but similar ….Man it makes all the noises I’ve been dreaming of for ever so beautiful it almost makes me weep tears of joy even with my awful choice of notes saving your tutelage Griff actually just playing the 4 note solo strat lead blues junior nothing else it could be SRV or William Riley himself granted on an off day but the tone….. 2.5 every thing you plug extra to that is compromise in tone ok you get a choice of distortion chorus whatever but the clean strajght thru beauty is compromised even one expensive effect chan’ges something so don’t blow your next spare $200 on a new boutique effect get a blues junior and go ‘ au natural I promise you won’t regret it . makes you feel you can play anything like the masters
all the very best to you fellow sufferers
I think part of the isuckitis problem (I know this is true for me) is that the people we compare ourselves to are the people we hear on the radio, on our albums and CD’s, on youtube, etc., because that’s what we hear and so it’s what’s in our heads. Unfortunately, comparing oneself to Eric, Stevie Ray, B.B., etc. is a losing battle. The reason we hear them and and want to listen to them is because they are so damn good (they probably have better equipment than us too). When find myself doing these comparisons, I try to remind myself that I’m playing guitar for my own enjoyment, not to be the next Jimi. Have to admit, a few days later, I find myself back to those comparisons, so I have to keep working on reminding myself to knock it off and just have fun.
Griff that is so right on! I am a70 yr.old and I don’t expect to be better than anyone, I just enjoy playing around with my guitars and try to learn something at the same time and thanks for your time and lessons
At least isuckitis can be cured. I don’t think there is a cure for a person with a case of usuckinza. I have been wanting to share this story for some time now. I have a bass player I’ve been playing with a 70 year old bassist who played professionally (session player…) but hadn’t played for about 20 years. I told him if he would put up with my learning curve I could certainly put up with his rustiness and talked him into getting his equipment out of the moth balls. I found a drummer who brought another guitar player with him. This guy has a degree in guitar and is an instructor at the local college here. I’m thinking this is going to be awesome! I can certainly hold my own but here’s a guy to play with that can teach me stuff (Mixolydian, Dorian, Half-whole diminished sounds, where, when, etc.)as we’re moving forward. You would think that if he had a problem it would be with a lesser guitar player right? This guy made it clear when I first spoke with him that he didn’t think the bass player was a good idea because of his age and he probably just wants to play country music. I explained that I had already had that conversation with the bass player (Jim) and the first thing out of Jim’s mouth was “I don’t want to play country music.” Problem solved? Nay, I say. Jim was not able to make to the first two practices and those went great! I also sing so between that actually being pretty on top of things on guitar it was great. He really is a good guitarist. A bit of an ego problem but not really over the top primaddona and I’m kind of wondering why this guy isn’t playing with someone already. I mean he keeps tossing names around of all of these local guys that he knows and hangs out with. Then the third practice with Jim there and I have to say I have never seen such a cloak and dagger, passive/aggressive bunch of crap from anyone in my life. Jim is/was rusty but a good bass player and could certainly look at what the guitar player is doing to figure out what he needs to be doing. I saw this happen about five times with my own eyes that night and afterward Jim told me that it was more like 10 or 12 times. When that guy would look up and see Jim looking at what he was playing (because he had the musical training)he would instantly switch to some alternate chord or inversion that no one would recognize on the fly like that. I was PO’d!!! I was all I could do to stay with it until the end of the practice with out starting a fight. Before I even made it home that night this guy was calling me to tell me that he didn’t think Jim was going to cut it and he did not want to continue playing with him. Then, I let him have it with both barrels and made it very clear that I do not want to play with anyone who is going to treat anyone else that way! The drummer decided to keep playing with him for some reason. Jim and I found another drummer, guitarist, keyboard player and a sax player and are starting to line up gigs for the summer. I have talked to few people since who know that guitarist and all with similar experiences and opinions of the guy. So, now I understand why he wasn’t/isn’t playing with anyone. He can’t see it though and that’s why I say there is no cure for usuckinza. If you have isuckitis, be happy about it. You wouldn’t feel that way unless you are trying to progress and taht progress will cure it. Stay humble and keep rockin with people that you enjoy being around!
Great advice. There are days when I do wonder why I ever started this but I go back and practice another couple of hours every night. Why? Because I just really do love it. I even branched out and just bought a new bass guitar and amp not thinking that I can be a rock star but just because I enjoy learning to play music. Thanks jim
Very sage advice Griff! I’m very familiar with this “condition”!
Griff,
It’s amazing how you can tell which barriers and challenges we, your students, face out here in unwashed masses land. Thanks so much for relieving me of the pressure to outperform Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, and Eric Clapton. To be able to play at their level of expertise is my goal, but I don’t have to get to that level before the next full moon or something arbitrary like that. I like the recording idea to measure progress. It provides evidence that cannot be argued with, you sounded like that then and you sound like that now. I’m working on my own song, “Since I’ve Been Along the Watchtower Forever, Man.” I’ll get back to you when I can play it.
Sincerest thanks for your leadership.
Great info. Thanks
Brother, you identified me there! I can’t tell you how many pedals I’ve bought because I was convinced that they would “make me sound better”.
I’ve been playing a long time and beating myself up periodically with the old “I’m never going to get where I want to be” syndrome. Griff, you have described the symptoms perfectly. Thanks. I feel much encouraged!
So That’s what I’ve been suffering from all these years! I guess I need to take 2 blues licks, a tape recorder, and see the doctor in 60 days.
Nice post
Hi Griff,Its like you read my mind,and are talking to me.I opened my computer,just now looking for another gretsch Chet Atkins guitar,as I heard Chet and Mark Knoffler playing,and when I picked up my Gretsch,it was like I had never played before,thanks to you I won,t sell my Gretsch or my Les paul,I will keep on trying,Thanks again,you are the best.Len.
Básicamente lo más importante que podemos hacer para integrar a las minorÃas musulmanas en Europa es explicar (con el ejemplo, como prohibir el burka) que en Occidente el Estado está en un plano radicalmente distinto (y en lo público, por encima) que la Cuitaru/Religlón: ¿no es eso de izquierdas?
Dr. Griff,
Thanks for the diagnosis! I have had a chronic case of isuckitis for many years. I know there is no known cure, so I am resigned to constant learning and practicing. Your last four prescriptions (5 Easy Solos, BGU, 52 RF&V, and MMBS) – along with your daily “booster” shots – have dramatically eased the symptoms! Thank you!
Sincerely, your patient.
I like the one about putting the guitar in its case and putting it in the closet or under the bed . I would have never found my fender strat if someone hadnt got isuckatthis . Yup i will admit sometime i want to stop playing because i am already lost its most likely stress not playing . Sometimes I dont realize a whole hour of so has passed and i dont really want to stop. I heard that Angus Young is having a brain fart trying to remember how he played certian songs . I guess its just. ( being human,born to make mistakes. ps some on line tabs are purely just incorrect then again if it sounds alright its like riding a bike.
Wow! What great feed back, I’m so glad I’m not alone. Thanks griff, and thanks everyone who admitted that you all go thru the ISUCKITIS. I’ve said that a lot! But I muddle along, and I’m slowly getting it, and sounding not too bad.
I have a acoustic,and a fender stratocaster, enjoy both sounds, but the electric has really helped my range and has given me more confidence. I’m still working on ” down to the station”. Bound and determined! :).
Thanks, I needed that. I had to put things down a few weeks to take care of my health. It’s coming back slowly. …….still want another guitar tho.
Coming from a sports background, I was taught to visualize the outcome, hitting the perfect golf or tennis shot. I tried to take this approach to playing the guitar, visualizing myself killing it like the Clapton we see and hear nowadays. I developed a terminal case of isuckitis so severe that I sold my guitars and vowed to never touch one again. Many years later, as I was buying someone a ukulele for their birthday,the person with me talked me into buying a mandolin. Driving home from the shop, I caught the thought that instead of visualizing myself playing like the current version of Clapton, I would visualize myself playing like Clapton did on his first day, after a month, when he went through that period as Richard Clap and actually quit playing. I started having fun and was playing. So much fun, in fact, that I bought another guitar. Now, with no pressure to be perfect, I am playing, learning to walk and talk, just like a baby does. As Griff and so many others say, it is called playing the guitar.
I like Billy Lang’s comments! Great idea Billy!
This is a good time to see this blog – after a mild winter we’re getting 15 cm of snow today! Perfect time for guitar practice! I’m always upset with myself whenever I play in public because I’m not perfect. These are good points to remember, especially the one about ‘playing’. Thanks Griff!
“Oh Lord, it is hard to be humble, when your perfect in every way”
And I thought about seeking medical help for ireallysuckitis,Thanks Griff once again words of wisdom.
I was so encouraged by your message today, Griff. I thought I was suffering from countless conditions – isuckonthisguitar, isuckonthisamp, isuckagain, isuckworsethanyesterday, and godijustsuckatthis. And to learn that it’s all one single condition, isuckitis, and that it’s curable. I am so relieved! Maybe I don’t need that new guitar after all.
You are so right on with today’s blog. We all have those days, some more than others I’m sure, but we all have them. There are times during my practicing where I feel like “what the h___ was that. Most times right then and there I realize that this is happening and after a break and a deep breath and slow things now a bit, continue on and seem not to struggle through the rest of my practice as much. Thanks for the encouragement!
In the early 1970s Karen and Richard Carpenter sang an appropriate tune: “Sing, Sing your song… Don’t worry that it’s not good enough for anyone else to hear. Just sing, sing your song.”
You certainly summed it up well. I reckon I suffer with it more than most others but I have had those moments when everything seems to click and practising becomes more like a session than an essential drudge. I was listening to the Billy Gibbons “thunderbird” you tube video you mentioned in a recent blog and played along with it with (for me anyhow) a really good and satisfying outcome. It just goes to show that the enjoyment you get when that happens makes up for the “isuckitis” times!
This is the first response I’ve made to your blogs so I would like to add that I do enjoy your courses and your continuing support and look forward to your tips etc.
Many thanks Griff
Pete
Cheers Griff
It’s nice to know I’m not the only one that suffers with this condition
I’m my worst critic
Nailed it!
I have and still do,occasionally, suffer from this dreaded disease. These words of wisdom help bring a smile to my face, and relieve the symptoms of isuckitis, at least for the moment!:)
story of my life…thanks for reminding me that there is hope…later.
cowboy
I too suffer from “isuckitis” all the time. Your advice is spot on! Excellent post, Griff. Thank you.
The thing about “suckitis” is that it is relative. Whether we should or not, we compare ourselves to others. And in that comparison, we come up short. I was playing with a friend the other day and could not get a quick little turn around. It sounded so easy and he made it look easy. I got frustrated and said, “what is the use, I will never get this.” He told me that it just takes time, to not give up.I told him that I was in my 60’s, it was not like I had a lot of time. He asked me a question; why do you play? I told him, because I enjoy music. He told me, then enjoy what you do, you have improved a great deal in a short period of time. I said, but you make this look so easy. He said, Bill, I have been playing for 35 years, you have been playing for less than 1, don’t compare yourself to me or anyone else, just enjoy the music you make and the fact you are trying when others do not. It makes sense. Enjoy the fact that you are trying to accomplish something. Thanks Griff
Hell I’ve been working on Pride and Joy for months and sat down last night and did an ok job with the main rhythm. If playing was Easy everyone would be doing it. As Bruce Lee used to say knowing is not enough we must apply willing is not enough you must do. Yup works for me.
hey Griff,
I don’t suffer from that, I keep motivated and enjoying the guitar in one way or another. I practice almost every day for 1-2 hours. Each day I try a practice on a different guitar as the sounds are different.
I am learning different BGU courses and learning parts that are all now making sense. I took this Guitar learning on as a challenge and enjoyment during my retirement and it is working. I have a DEN for my music and all my guitars and Amp and Pedals are right here next to me even when I am on the Laptop listening to your email video lessons and working out where they fit in my progress. There are days that I pass for a break from music and just listen to music.
I have fun making mistakes and just keep going like you said. Eventually some of my own Licks using the Blues scales absolutely amaze me and I keep hoping that I remember them all.
All good.
Michael-Sydney-Australia March 2016.
Got it too.
I am blessed to be able to work from home. Yesterday at work I called in to a meeting with my team to discuss a presentation we need to deliver in a few weeks. It was related of how to deal with different personality types at work.
My section was things we could do to set a not so serious tone and relax the team when starting a meeting.
My answer was to lighten the mood a little, tell a tasteful joke, talk about sports or music
Val was the 1st on the call with me. She picked up on the music thing. I do not recall her exact question, but it was something about, are you going to supply the music?
I said sure and grabbed my Strat that was in my office and started to play the song I am working on for wife’s birthday.
The others started to join the call while I was playing. When I finished they asked what was that? Did someone put the bridge on hold where music plays? Was someone playing the radio?
Val said no, that was Billy playing his guitar.
It was nothing fancy but I guess that depends on the audience.
The comments and questions from my team were all very posative.
The meeting was kicked off on a fun note and was very productive.
I only had a few jazz notes so I guess I do not always suck 🙂
Yup, that would be me. I had isuckitis so badly at one time that I quit guitar and went to 5 string banjo and didn’t return to guitar for 25 years. That’s where I discovered that the disease follows the player, not the instrument and have finally returned to guitar. Now, after a 25 year absence, I really do suck, so I’m ok with that for now.
Wow, you must be talking about me or you know me or you must be spying how could this be you also. Now I don’t feel so all alone. Great comment
