One of the things that holds most people back in life & a lot of guitar players in their playing is being afraid of failing or making mistakes. This fear of failure will cripple your progress & make it MUCH slower to get good at the guitar.

Today I'm going to show you some advice I got from my dad that will help you know how to learn from EVERY guitar player you meet, see, or hear. Hey guys, Brad Litton from SimpleGuitar.com here with another beginner guitar lesson on mindset and motivation for you. Actually, this guitar mindset tutorial will help you whether you're a beginner or not! Some of the best advice I've ever gotten about how to play guitar came from my dad years ago. He told me, "You can learn something from every guitar player" and that advice has been a came changer for me for years. Now, I just realized while making this video that that advice from my dad also lines up with what Patrick Lencioni talks about in his book The Ideal Team Player where he advocates that in order to be an ideal team player, you need to be humble, hungry, and smart. In order to learn from other guitar players, you need to have those three traits. This is the difference between having an abundance mindset instead of a scarcity minds...

How to get better at guitar every day is really quite simple but so many guitar players will overlook it & watch their playing plateau. Hey guys, Brad Litton from SimpleGuitar.com here with another guitar lesson for you. Today's guitar lesson for beginners is really for anyone, doesn't matter if you're a beginner or not, doesn't matter if you're playing acoustic guitar or electric guitar especially because today is more on the mindset & motivation side of playing.

There's a simple mental trick you can use to make sure that you get better at guitar every single day that you play.

The number one thing holding your guitar playing back is playing things too fast way too soon. Hey guys, Brad Litton from SimpleGuitar.com here with another beginner guitar lesson tutorial for you. Today we're on the topic of mindset & motivation side of guitar playing, which is always important. But a major issue I see with beginner guitar players all the time is they aren't patient enough to play new things slowly enough until they get it smooth. Especially teenage boys in guitar lessons just want to play everything as fast as possible as soon as possible, but what really is going to make you look cool is not just playing fast, but playing really, really clean & well fast.

If you can have the patience and dedication to play things slowly for a bit longer, it'll actually shorten the total amount of time it takes to learn guitar. Focus more on getting things you play on guitar to be smooth before you worry about getting them to be fast & you'll sound like a much better guitar player f...
