One thing to improve on guitar // Another Guitar Show Episode 1

Welcome to the first episode of 'Another Guitar Show'!

This was weekly guitar show I did for a while in partnership with the fantastic guys at Your Guitar Academy.

In our first ever episode of Another Guitar Show we start with the question "what is the number 1 thing that will improve your guitar playing". We also introduce two ear challenge sections to the show! See a full write up below as well including TAB!

YOU can have 1 to 1 lessons with my co-host Thomas either in person or over skype! Click here to learn more

Here's a writeup of this episode!

PART 1: METRONOME WORK 

As the guys chat about in the first part of the video, using a metronome is so important to progressing your playing. So, the only thing the guys didn't talk about is where to find a metronome. You have endless options from apps, websites, physical products and more. Here are a few links that may help you find the perfect metronome for you.

ONLINE LINKS: METRONOMES 

1. Simply type metronome into Google and Google has a really cool little app at the top of the screen

2. https://www.metronomeonline.com/

3. Physical Metronome from KORG

4. If you use a MAC, fire up Garage Band and you can even drop in a drum loop!

5. Drum App online: It's a little more complicated, but drums can seriously help rather than 'bleep bleep'!

6. Fire up the app store on your phone and search 'metronome' and take your pick!

PART 2: NAME THAT TUNE IN ONE 

We loved this section! The four tracks were 'Sunshine Of Your Love', 'Sweet Home Alabama', 'Whole Lotta Love' and 'Twist & Shout'! If you are interested in learning these tracks, simply click the links below and we'll direct you to either the lesson on this website or at yourguitaracadmy.com
