  As human beings we do copy each other's mistakes. Almost all personal guitar performance videos on the net are in the category of "close but no cigar". Most of the guitar teachers who use online videos have really bad timing and awkward phrasing. Most online teaching promotes learning very complex mental infrastructures like tablature and way too much memorizing. What is really fascinating is how enthusiastic and exuberant these "ignorant guitar teachers" are as they get it all wrong! This is scientifically provable, and not speculation.....

   Unfortunately nobody seems interested in using science to confirm the reality of somebody's ability to express themselves in the language of music through electric guitar. Most players are super puffed up with the subjective feelings that they get from their common tones accidently having extra meaning, or they are overwhelmed with the confidence that they are copying someone who was accepted. An overlooked obvious fact is that if you're copying, then unless you have personalized the style into something unique that works as well as the original, then a "copy" is never quite as good as the original. Copying riffs is more like using an old Xerox copier, which is not a perfect digital copy and therefore has flaws. Why follow a musical methodology that guarantees that you will never be as good as the original representation of what you're performing? Spartacus says, "MAKE IT BETTER OR LEAVE IT ALONE!" Learn to speak for yourself. :-)

  Teachers with bad musical phrasing and a gross lack of comprehension are teaching students who become teachers that do the same thing until we now have an army of "monkey see monkey do" second-class reproductionists. Almost all of these so-called online guitar teachers have severe core tempo problems and are in denial about it because it "feels good to them". lol

    Can you free yourself from this vast ocean of illusion? Evidently you can't do it on your own… What everybody, except for the players that are in the fire of learning, are doing is to fool themselves into thinking that they are in fact musically coherent, when the truth is that they just FEEL musically coherent.

   You can live in the world of illusion, or you can use science along with a bona fide guitar Maestro such as myself in order to improve your playing to the point where it morphs into confirmed linguistic perfection. This "musical incoherence" is a phenomenon that is separate from whether or not mistakes are made.

   Another big issue is that so many people are copying so many people, who copied so many people that the original message gets lost. In other words,very few can play properly orchestrated rhythm guitar in rock and blues. They just don't know what playing real rhythm chops is all about, so they speculate and try to fake you out just as they have faked themselves out. If they enjoy guitar even though they "copy instead of create" because it feels good, then imagine how much better they will enjoy when their playing comes into complete control and coherence through tried and true bona fide methods that can be verified?

  So today I will make a video right now going over some bona fide professional rhythm chop perspectives which can lead you in the right direction toward a journeyman's perspective of blues rhythm....
