I’ve played guitar for 10 years, but feel like my progress is limited (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Love playing guitar and singing, mostly just chords, there’s a few “trickier” songs that I’ve worked through with finger-picking.

But I just feel like I can’t be bothered with exercises in scales and rhythm and think it holds me back.

Has anyone else just skipped the exercises and feel like they’re a competent guitarist? Any YouTubers I should check out?

In a way I think it’s made harder by being “intermediate” as it’s difficult to see where to go next.

Yeah, I think having a goal of learning songs of a certain difficulty level, and be able to play them in front of an audience is a good motivator for improvement.
