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.

    Hey, so I think I’m fairly competent- always lots to learn but I’m happy to give you tips. Here’s my channel so you can see my style (self confessed slash fanboy)

    Never did a scale or tutorial, always by ear like the “greats” because I was told learning any other way would impact me. Please let me know whatever questions you have and I’m happy to either answer here or do a video call!

    I have a lot of videos up there so see if you want to move in that direction.

    Thanks
