Welcome to SkeetGuitar.
Most guitar instruction is focused on 'more'—more songs, more speed, more noise. But if you’ve hit a plateau, 'more' isn't the answer.
Here, we take The Steady Path.
I help beginners and returning players move past frustration by focusing on the diagnostics of play. We treat songs as vehicles for transferable skills, focusing on the mechanics of ease so that the music can finally take care of itself.
If you are looking for a grounded, low-pressure environment to build a real foundation, you’ve found it.
Join the Community: For those who want to dive deeper into these mechanics between my weekly lessons, I host The Steady Practice Club—a private membership designed to turn 'messy' practice into consistent, musical progress.

A quick practice tip for your Drop D sessions today: The low D string can ride a bit "sharp" if you pluck it too hard. Remember the "Tune Up" method from Sunday's lesson. Go a little below the note and tighten up into it to stabilize that big bass string.

Have you ever tried playing in an alternative tuning, or do you prefer to stick to standard? 🎸🧠

Which of these "transferable skills" do you find hardest to keep consistent when you're actually playing a song? 🎸

Practice reminder: If your joins feel jagged today, you’re likely trying to move too much at once.
Look for your Anchor Finger. Is there one finger that can stay on the string while the others move? Finding that one point of contact can be the difference between a "stop-start" transition and a beautiful, ringing flow.

When you’re learning a difficult new song, where does the "brain panic" usually set in for you? 🧠🎸
I’ll be in the comments later to chat about how to fix these!

The Left Hand: Awkward chord shapes/stretches.
The Right Hand: Complex picking or rhythm patterns.
The "Merge": I can do them separately, but not together!
The Speed: I can do it slow, but it falls apart at tempo.
