Next level guitar-playing can mean different things to different players. Generally speaking however, musicians tend to fit into one of three categories: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. A beginner, for example, may have learned most of the more common open chords and some basic strum patterns. The next level, in this case, could be learning more challenging (and often daunting) bar chords. Or perhaps more complicated strums.

Next Level Guitar-Playing

Most musicians, be it guitarists or other players, tend to reach a particular level of playing and then remain (stagnate) there. More experienced musicians, on the other hand, never stop learning new aspects of music making. This can include learning new songs, techniques, theory, history and more. With a never-ending appetitie for more information on how to be a better musician you’ll not only remain motivated to continue on your musically journey. You’ll also reach higher levels of musicianship.
