In working with so many thousands of students over the last 30+ years, there are a few common things that beginners do out of necessity…
But there also comes a point when those particular ideas and techniques no longer serve you and it’s time to learn how to let those things go.
So in this video, I’ll cover 7 things that you need to consider as you progress.

Thank you, Griff, for the wonderful video. I don’t know if there is enough material on this subject (transitioning from beginner to intermediate) for an entire course, but if there were, I’d buy it. Not only mindset, but also technique, music theory, whatever.
Glenn. Very nice lesson. Important to me. Thanks.
I don’t comment much but it is all great Griff
I think I’ve heard you say all these things before at different times. It was good for me to hear them all at once and consider what a difference they make. As always, thanks.
Griff, in what video or course do you discuss/show picking style? Frank who?
It’s not one specific place, I mention it as needed. Mostly in the Beginning Blues Guitar course and the Speed Builders.
Thanks Griff. That was just what I needed to hear today.
Today is Eric Claptons 77th Birthday! SO crank up some Crossroads or other blues favorites in his honor today.
Awesome video. I’ve been trying to learn guitar for a year now but I have limited practice time. I get a lot of inspiration from your videos. Thank you for everything.
Thanks Griff – Each & every one of those ideas is a winner !
At nursing school, our teachers were hugely into setting SMART goals for things . . . Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely. Long ago realised that SMART goals are very beneficial when you’re trying to learn or develop pretty well any skill.
Love also tips 6 and 7. They go together hand in glove.
Thanks again.
