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.

In my experience you need a goal to force progress. Ie. Play on a stage / play infront of someone.
