NLP and the mind

ROBOT — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 00:20:15 +0000

Outside of guitar I have been studying NLP and hypnosis. It is very rewarding and I would choose it as my second career choice. Make that third. First is being a musician, second is a video game programmer/designer, third is an NLP practitioner. Take some time to check out youtube videos pertaining to NLP and you will probably enjoy it too.

Update on instructional

I have written another massive section to the text portion of the instructional. This portion doesn’t actually deal with guitar playing at all. It deals with learning in general. I will have it separated from the other text so the reader can find it easily when needed. I am planning on recording 20 more exercise videos today. I am liking the flow from exercise to exercise. I also think you will like the extra information included in every video. Instead of having one exercise played at different speeds from different camera angles.

I explain what the exercise is helping you master, why it works in your mind, how it builds from the other exercises, and how it will build into later exercises and ideas. I also provide really great tips on playing and technique along the way. Besides those tips on playing which are included, I am going to have specific sections and videos for each technique and show the best ways to do things. I figure instead of making 10 to 30 different little instructionals that deal with one primary thing each, I will make one amazing massive instructional that teaches you basically everything there is to know. I could make lots of money with bunches of smaller instructionals however, I seem to be more interested in actually helping people rather than making a quick buck. This may come back to haunt me someday, but at least I can feel good about myself.

I am getting more and more excited that you will be using all of my knowledge to build yourself up to the best musician and guitarist you can be. After years and years of intense study and practice on the instrument and music theory, I find that the next step besides my own creation of music is to help others at their craft too.

Update on Instructional

ROBOT — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 06:06:06 +0000

Hello, I have gotten a lot done on the instructional. I have to say that it is going to be really special. There are some amazing elements of learning in this thing. I am so excited about it that I fear I might spoil the secrets of what it contains in this message somehow. All I can say is that it has some very new concepts for guitarists, ones that work. I have built a comprehensive system that everyone will succeed at. I said I had some groundbreaking information in it once before. I am now 100% sure that the few special people who get this instructional will be in complete agreement with that statement. I figured out why guitarists plateau. I figured out why some people don’t learn or advance. I figured out why other systems don’t work. I have also figured out a new way to ensure the fastest mental and physical growth any human can attain. I then took that system and completely redesigned the order of learning to make sure it fits growth of your learning speed. (Basically, with this system you learn how to learn. You start over like you never played before and re-program everything properly. Your learning speed will grow and grow with each section so you can learn anything and everything faster and forever.)

For this entirely new system and way of learning, I have developed all new physical exercises on the instrument. They all build off of each other in many ways. Your mind will find it very easy to master the instrument when you learn in this manner. There is no way to fail except for simply not using the material contained in it.

I already have over an hour of Audio lesson stuff…(me talking to you about this system).
I have a video for every single exercise… each video also explains other things and what the exercise is for in the overall scheme of things….and the text to go along with all of it.

I just had to delete a bunch of text so I wouldn’t give out my secret in here. I don’t want this method getting out to anyone else…yet. If you would like to know when the instructional becomes available. Let me know in an email, or post a message about it in here.

I can’t wait for all of the new happy emails to come in once this is out there and people are advancing like crazy from using it. The last instructional still has people messaging me all the time saying how much it has helped them and no other system has ever worked. Well, this new one totally destroys my old instructional.

With my self study in other fields of life… some really cool fields that pertain to how our brains work, I am combining that knowledge along with all of my extensive guitar and music theory knowledge and packing it all together in a simple for you… (but, hard for me to develop to make sure its easy on your end) format.

I know that all of my long hours spent studying the mind and all of the learning methods in the world. Along with the years and years on guitar itself, are worth it. I am about to release to the world, one of the most amazing examples of advancement as humans.

This material is just gonna 100% kick every ones ass around the world!

PS3 home review

ROBOT — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 04:07:22 +0000

I know this has basically nothing to do with guitar but I happen to enjoy playing video games, and even making them when the mood hits me. I have been waiting to try PS3 home. For those who don’t know, it is a free mini-world, pseudo-environment, where people go to pretend they are playing second live I suppose…? It is SO BAD that I honestly cant understand why they spent 2 years on this or whatever…? I honestly think I could have topped this in under 1 year. All you do is walk around and have advertisements thrown in your face from all over nonstop. A big thumbs down from me. I did think it was funny to walk around in there looking like a fat crazy garbageman and yelling weird things to people.

Sorry

ROBOT — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 10:11:57 +0000

I am sorry the site has been updated so infrequently. I am going to get back into the swing of things soon and try to blog about more than just guitar as well. Or if people would rather videos and such instead let me know. Thank you all for being so helpful and kind.

New album underway!

ROBOT — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 08:04:04 +0000

I have been composing day in and out for the new album. This will be a masterpiece. I have been challenging myself to write the absolute best sounding music while still using insane technique. I am currently writing a song that has 3 parts playing at the same time on one guitar with the robot tone and a very strong melody and harmony to it. My side goal is to prove that the robot tapping can be very musical indeed. I have not been this excited about guitar based music in quite some time! I feel very dizzy from all of the complex parts I am writing and playing so far today. My eyes are having trouble focusing on anything except for the fretboard it seems. I am so happy with the work so far that I am really thinking about taking this on the road once it is finished and touring as ROBOT.

I am just so excited! The magic is happening.

I was sent this email today and it is sad. I wanted to become a youtube partner so I could upload longer videos to make it easier on me and you guys. They said I needed more viewers before they would allow me to partner. If anyone knows how to get more viewers on there please let me know. Here is the message:
