5 guitar solos—from EASY to INTERMEDIATE—to actually learn the minor pentatonic 🎸

Learning just one riff from a song might feel productive… but it’s actually slowing your growth.
If you’re not learning full songs, transitions, and timing — your guitar progress will plateau fast.
Let’s fix that 🎸

Why do your guitar chords sound “lower” than others?
There are 3 main reasons for this — let’s break it down in the video. 🎸

Francis had 1 week to prepare for his school rock band audition.

We picked Linkin Park’s One Step Closer — not the easiest choice, but the right one to showcase his skills, control, and ability to pick up songs fast 🎸

He learned it from scratch in just 7 days, focusing on what actually matters in an audition.

The real question is…
Did he get in? 👀 *Edited: He got in!

“Nothing Else Matters” shouldn’t be your first guitar song.

Yes, it sounds slow and simple — but there are technical skills most beginners don’t have yet:
• Fingerpicking control
• Playing clean, ringing notes
• String skipping accuracy
• Hand independence

If you start here, you’ll likely feel stuck or frustrated.

Build your basics first — then come back to it, and it’ll feel way easier.

Right song, wrong timing.

Save this for when you’re ready 🎸

Thinking of getting a Flying V on a budget? ⚡️
Here are 2 solid beginner-friendly options I’d actually recommend 👇

Both give you that iconic rock look without burning your wallet — but they feel very different in the hands.

There are dozens of ways to play the same chord across the neck…

How I’d start learning funk guitar (using Sun Goddess by Earth, Wind & Fire as the example) 🎸🔥

If I were teaching a beginner funk rhythm, I wouldn’t start with speed.

I’d start with principles.

Here’s the framework I use:

1️⃣ Keep the strumming hand moving in 16ths — even when you’re not hitting the strings.
2️⃣ Focus on where the accents sit — that’s where the groove lives.

In Sun Goddess, the magic isn’t complexity.
It’s precision and pocket.

Learn the concept.
Then apply it to the song.

That’s how you actually build funk rhythm — instead of memorising shapes.

Save this if you’re starting funk guitar.
