The No B.S. Guitar “Wall of Inspiration” — Feel stuck in a guitar rut? Watch these videos!
We’ve all got our own reasons why we picked up guitar in the first place.
Maybe it was seeing Jimi Hendrix in a guitar-burning trance on stage, or watching SRV tear it up covering Voodoo Chile…
Whatever your reasons are, for better or worse, you’re now playing the guitar. Fantastic.
But sometimes we forget. We forget the feeling of lustful passion that came over us when we decided to learn the guitar.
Enter the No B.S. Guitar “Wall of inspiration”.
Feeling stuck? Feeling frustrated? And god forbid… even thinking about quitting? (Don’t)
Just watch these videos and watch those fears become overpowered by a new desire to MASTER the guitar. Laugh as those silly excuses become meaningless. Heck, if those little North Korean kids could play a guitar that’s almost as big as they are… what excuse do I have left?
Right.
Keep coming back to this page. It’s regularly updated. Watch as the wall grows and grows!
Enjoy the videos and let me know if you come across other inspirational guitar players. I’ll try to get it on here. Thanks.

Dude what’s going on I dig your practice methods a lot, I kind of had the same but yours is much more precise and faster and makes it fun and instantaneous.
I had a new concept you should check out though that I have kept secret but have practiced this way for almost a year. When I practice I don’t press down on the strings all the way, just enough to move them toward the fretboard and then the only part of my finger that’s actually doing anything now is the tip and it eliminates tension instantly everywhere else on the body. You should try it out, for pull offs and hammer on and just do the technique but don’t press down before or after I contact the string and I think what happens is your fingers just get used to it so over a short period of time your brain is able for them to make more and more vibration and noise on the string with the same amount of pressure you’ve been practicing with.
Just thought I’d share and see if you’d wanna give a try or something.
Take it easy! Thanks a lot for your help, I found you on UG
Johnny,
I wanted to drop a line and thank you. I started playing when I was young and had a shitty teacher which lead to quitting. Picked it up again 13 years ago and 6 months in severed every tendon in my right arm (quit again). The thought of playing got back in my head about a year ago (I’m 44 now). A week ago my wife got me a guitar for Christmas. Using your theories, today (7 days later) I can play “Wish you were here” all the way through. It was slow as hell till day before yesterday. Thanks again
