We asked ChatGTP to put together a 5 point lesson plan to improve our playing in 30 days and to consider the styles of Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani and Steve Vai! And here’s what we got:

A.I. ChatGPT Guitar Lesson

Sure thing! Here’s a five-point lesson plan that will help you improve your guitar playing in 30 days:

1. Develop your finger strength and dexterity: Spend at least 20-30 minutes a day practicing exercises that focus on building your finger strength and dexterity. Some good exercises to try include chromatic scales, spider exercises, and finger tapping exercises. Focus on keeping your fingers close to the fretboard and using the correct fingerings. By the end of the 30 days, you should notice that your fingers feel stronger and more nimble.
2. Practice alternate picking: Spend at least 20-30 minutes a day practicing alternate picking. This technique involves using both upstrokes and downstrokes when picking the strings, and is essential for playing fast, intricate melodies. Start by practicing simple scales and exercises, gradually increasing the tempo until you can play them smoothly and accurately at high speeds. By the end of the 30 days, you should notice that your alternate picking has improved and that you’re able to play more complex solos and melodies.
3. Study your favorite guitarists: Spend at least 20-30 minutes a day studying your favorite guitarists. Watch their live performances, listen to their recordings, and analyze their playing style. Pay attention to their phrasing, techniques, and tone, and try to emulate them in your own playing. By the end of the 30 days, you should have a deeper understanding of your favorite guitarists and be able to incorporate some of their techniques into your own playing.
4. Practice playing in different styles: Spend at least 20-30 minutes a day practicing playing in different styles. While rock may be your primary genre, it’s important to be versatile and be able to play in other genres as well. Try practicing blues, jazz, and country styles, focusing on the techniques and nuances that are specific to each genre. By the end of the 30 days, you should have a better understanding of different styles of music and be able to play more convincingly in a variety of genres.
5. Jam with others: Spend at least 20-30 minutes a day jamming with other musicians. Playing with others will help you develop your listening skills, rhythm, and timing. Try playing with other guitarists, bassists, and drummers, and focus on playing in sync with each other. By the end of the 30 days, you should be more comfortable playing with others and have a better sense of how to play in a band setting.

By following this lesson plan, you should notice a significant improvement in your guitar playing skills in just 30 days. Of course, everyone learns at their own pace, so don’t be discouraged if you don’t see results immediately. Keep practicing consistently, and you’ll be well on your way to becoming a virtuoso guitar player!

It’s good to know our artificial overlords will still expect us to spend 2.5 hours a day trying to improve our playing – which will be easy to achieve once it makes our jobs obsolete!

Perhaps these new inventions will actually make us better? Nonetheless it’s good to know that even the robots realize that practice makes perfect! 🤘
