Enrich the way you play guitar - Soul to Squeeze (Red Hot)

Here my 2 cents on guitarist and the guitar. I explain why the guitar has lost it's value over the past decade since all guitarists do these days is play a few chords. Imagine if someone played the piano and all they did was play the same chords over and over again (all the notes at the same time!) that would be boring. I explain how to enrich the playing of guitarists using Soul to Squeeze by the Red Hot Chili Peppers

@JoeStriker1

To further my point, everyone was once a beginner, and in my opinion wether they know a few chords or a single note on fret two, they are still a guitar player. I differ on your defintion of the latter, however I agree with your statement that people need to progress with their instrument.

[JoeStriker1]

I agree with you to an extent.

Definitely guitarists need to strive for putting their own soul into the guitar instead of only playing chords, however with that said it requires a greater understanding of the guitar and further training. So for a beginner to pick up a guitar and play some chords, hey its challenging for him, awesome. However if you've been playing for years and you've mastered chords, it's time to move onto something a little more unique.

@YOITSJOE21 I am not chastising beginners... I'm saying that people should not be satsified with just chords, people should understand everything about the guitar not just blocks of what they're told. Imagine how shitty the piano would sound if everyone just played chords and didn't truly understand every note that is being played.

@ElTrollBoy I'm just saying you shouldn't chastise beginners. I think if someone knows how to play a few songs, even if basic, call him a player. This guy gives me the impression of: "Look at how great I am at guitar!"

[ElTrollBoy]

@YOITSJOE21 He's not talking about pure beginners (who obviously are going to start with basic chords and that's fine). He's just saying that there are too many people who call themselves guitar players once they can play a few chords and have learnt a few songs (which ANYONE can do), but the instrument is so much more complex than that, so they should be looking to extend themselves. Otherwise it's like being an eternal beginner. Boring . . .
