This is probably the MOST important style of guitar you will ever learn and develop – YOUR OWN! But how is an interesting and unique paying style be learned? The following guitar tutor is BRILLIANT!

He plays and teaches all styles of guitar playing and here he teaches you the following in relation to developing your own guitar playing style and sound; 1) Expand what you expose yourself to 2) Let your personal preferences guide you 3) Take the best stuff all the way to mastery 4) Never stop the process!

My advice on developing your own unique guitar style is several fold: don’t be afraid of making mistakes – even posting them online is no big deal. Who cares? Think of the greats who made mistakes like Jimi Hendrix but sound great and more importantly DIFFERENT!

Here’s me practicing my own style mistakes and all (sorry for the 1980’s shorts!)…

But learn how to turn a mistake into a star fretboard move by quickly manoeuvring your hands to the right place – yep this can be done if you know the fretboard well enough and is done by jazz players instinctively! It’s what I call falling down the stairs and landing on your feet – ie the bookends of your guitar run must be right – what goes on in between is not so crucial. Anyway that’s enough of me – check out this guy to create and develop your own great unique guitar playing style.
