In this episode, let's talk about the beliefs that shape how we practice jazz guitar. Sometimes, the way we think about learning—like feeling we have to practice arpeggios in every key or focus only on scales—can hold us back. I share insights from my years of teaching and coaching to help you rethink rigid approaches and open the door to faster, more enjoyable progress.
