For this RGS live, I jumped right into the topic for today on how to quickly learn a song. I gave a demonstration on my best tips for how you can learn this valuable skill. After that we got right into your topics of concern, including how to best use a metronome, how you can find the key of a song, and much more!
I’d love to see you all next month for the next RGS live . Join me on Thursday, June 6th at 12 pm PDT/ 3 pm EDT.

In this video:
00:01:58 - Demonstration - How to quickly memorize a song
00:22:05 - Can you go over best practices and usage of metronome, and tempo (setting speed, practice, etc..)
00:37:11 - I've been using my fingers for strumming, and now I’m trying to use a pick, and it sounds terrible. Downstrokes are fair, just OK. Upstrokes sound like I'm playing with boxing gloves. Really harsh, not musical at all. I've watched your pick lesson, but do you have any other advice?
00:40:57 - In the Beginner's Journey, you show us a pattern that is G—Dsus4—D—Em7—Cadd9. But in the play-along, you are using the Dsus4 but not the D that’s in the notation. I was just wondering which I should play (probably not a big deal; they both are easy)
00:41:55 - I’m cruising along... practicing every day, actually making progress, and feeling good about myself. Then I get to the lesson on Changing chords smoothly in G and all hell breaks out.I guess I didn’t catch you forming the G Chord differently in order to get to the E minor.
00:45:54 - Since I'm learning how to use a pick , been using the ones you sent me when I 1st joined many moons ago & I have noticed they bend, like they seem flimsy now....
00:50:10 - On that topic of the Key's How do we find those Keys / scales up the neck like toward the body? Do we have lessons on how to do this?
00:52:18 - 52:18 Can you please explain the difference between A melody & A harmony And how we see it or find it in a simple song for example?
00:53:10 - Do we have lessons on learning the diatonic in a Key?
00:54:43 - Knowing there is no flat or sharp between B and C, how do you play a C flat on guitar when it is written in music?
01:01:26 - What is the best pick to start with .6 or .60 mm and what brands to start with?
