It can't be too simple
Beginner Guitar Essentials Lesson 7
This series of lessons will set you up for success on the guitar. You’ll learn what to focus on as a beginner, what to ignore, and how to structure your practice so you can start using what you’re learning to play songs as quickly as possible!
You can never simplify too much
Over the years I’ve been teaching guitar, one thing I’ve seen consistently is students trying to practice something that’s too difficult for them simply because they think they should be able to do it.
Who’s saying you should be able to do it?
There’s no shame in simplifying something.
The goal is for you to become a better player. You should simplify something to the extent that it will help you achieve this goal.
There is no ‘too easy’ when it comes to practice.
