Hi fam,

Have you ever made a mistake that cost you lots of time and energy on the guitar? Well, we sure have.

That’s why we had the idea to make a video sharing the 10 biggest mistakes we’ve made learning guitar. Hopefully, it will help you avoid the same mistakes in your practice time and speed up your progress.

Give the video a watch, and don’t forget to leave your biggest mistakes in the comments, so you can help others learn faster too. Here is the top 10 list written out for you with a few honorable mentions too.

Have a great rest of the week,

Nate & Chelsea
