Feeling Stuck? You're Not Alone
Have you ever felt stuck in your guitar journey? Overwhelmed by the lack of clarity in instructional resources? Frustrated by the disjointed bits and pieces of knowledge you've gathered, but unable to see the bigger picture?
Or maybe you've dreamed of writing your own music, but didn't know where to start? If any of this sounds like you, you're in the right place. Welcome to Guitar Creative.
From Frustration to Freedom
My name is Carvel Avis, and I've been where you are. I picked up my first guitar at 15 and learned a few chords quickly. I loved it! But it didn't take long for me to hit a wall. I wasn't getting any better.
I knew deep down that I really needed to understand music at a deeper level but I wanted to play - not spend all my time studying a bunch of music theory.
I was stuck between the desire to learn and the fear of a long, boring slog through a sea of information. I wanted to play the songs I loved, to write my own music, but I didn't know where to start.
My First Aha-Moment
I finally decided to dip my toe in the water when I took a basic music theory course in high school. I only learned a few, very basic things. But it was just enough! I started drawing lines on notebook paper creating fretboard diagrams and started mapping out notes on the diagrams. Patterns began to form right before my eyes and I had my first Aha! moment!
I realized that I had gone through this fretboard diagram mapping process enough times that my brain was beginning to take mental snapshots of patterns I was seeing on paper. I was visualizing those mental snaphots right on my actual guitar fretboard. The sky began to open and the angels began to sing!
Improved Technique
My technique also began to improve and here's why. Being able to visualize patterns on my guitar fretboard I was literally able to see where I was going! And because I was able to see all the possibilities right under my fingers, I was no longer plagued with the hesitations that held me captive before. It was an awesome breakthrough.
As I learned each new nugget, I never became overwhelmed. That's because with each new little thing I learned, I would immediately apply it to my playing, building on what I had learned before. I was moving from one "AHA!" to another. That process has never ended! I'm still discovering new things and growing and I can teach you the same process.
Less Heartburn, More Aha!
There is so much conflicting, disjointed information out there. You see ads that say things like, "No boring theory! Just learn my secret system and you'll be able to play like a pro!"
Really?! If you stop and think about it, nothing about that makes sense. There's no magic bullet. But, because we all want a shortcut solution, we tend to fall for it and the next "Secret System" guy gets a little more of our money.
Reality Check
Look, music theory by itself is lifeless. Playing a bunch of boring scales, modes and arpeggios without applying them to anything is worthless. But not knowing anything about how music works is just as bad. Learning each disjointed new "Secret System" results in only getting - you guessed it - disjointed bits and pieces. You never get to see the big picture. That means giant cracks in your understanding of how it all fits together. This leads to confusion and alot of money flushed down the drain on all the "Secret Systems". And that can lead to frequent heartburn!
