As seen on TV. In Seth Godin’s Purple Cow. Guitarist for @understreetlamp & others. Unfucking the way guitar is taught.

Obviously there's a lot of craziness going on in the world right now. Millions filing for unemployment. People getting sick, people dying. Uncertainty as far as the eye can see. It sucks.

Personally, I lost 3.5 of my 4 jobs overnight.

So I wanted to do something to help.

A grew more as a writer in the last ten days than in the last ten years.

Here's how (and how I'm applying it to guitar playing next).

My latest for #Ship30For30👇

I'm tweeting from this profile now.

If such a thing interests you.

[Josh Skaja @joshskaja]

I wish someone would've told me this when I was first starting out on guitar.

Accumulation is good.
Compounding is better.

Saving 👉 Investing
Playing 👉 Practicing
Exercising 👉 Training

@jaspersmith damn I miss hugging my friends

@mariepoulin @uberstuber > “my personal dev is almost all business expenses”

strong agree—you could almost make the argument that my business exists to fund the things I want to learn about

[Joshua Skaja @JoshFrets]

h/t to @dickiebush for the phrases "sacred hours" & "atomic essays," and for the nudge with #ship30for30

[Joshua Skaja @JoshFrets]

I quit drinking...

...to make it easier to wake up at 5am.

Well, not really.

But being on the wagon *does* make it easier to find time for my new favorite indulgence:

Sacred Time

@rslawrence I solved that problem by baking a really crappy first loaf. 🤣

Used the wrong yeast and it came out as a ~flat disk.

Suitable for Passover I suppose.

[Joshua Skaja @JoshFrets]

My waistline is now a battleground between the Peloton in the garage and this bread baking addiction I seem to have developed.

[Joshua Skaja @JoshFrets]

@rslawrence Looks great!

[Joshua Skaja @JoshFrets]

@dickiebush Yes please

[Joshua Skaja @JoshFrets]

This conversation was mind altering, thanks for taking notes Dalos.

Update: she is addicted to Animal Crossing in a big way.

My wife just asked for a Nintendo Switch for xmas.

I should probably propose again, right?

[Joshua Skaja @JoshFrets]

@scoringnotes @AvidSibelius Heck yeah, that guitar notation is LEGIT. Headless stems for repeated chords looks so clean & frees up some mental bandwidth. Nice work @joseph_trefler

[Joshua Skaja @JoshFrets]

Yes please

@pdubbass72 I was less than a minute into this movie before thinking “Pat’s gonna be pleased with this.”
