So many beginners seem to just be so anxious that they have a hard time realizing you have to start slow first. Patience and determination are the key to super speed

Thanks Kyle. Shredding will definitely push you to your limits speed wise. Even if your goal is to play slower Blues or Rock learning to shred at some point in the learning curve will increase a players comfort zone so they can improve in other areas such as showmanship and stage presence.

Patience is definitely crucial, but unfortunately far too many beginners are scared of sounding bad in the early stages, which greatly hinders their progress. It’s crucial to constantly push past our comfort zone with new chords, progressions, and even genres.

Speaking of that, shredding is an amazing technique to build our skills! =)

Thanks for the post James,
Kyle

Thanks for posting this, I’m a real beginner (played a bit for just over a year) and so it’s good to hear about someone else’s learning pains and then gains.

Cheers!
