I’ve played guitar for 10 years, but feel like my progress is limited (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

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.

I like finding songs that I like that make me exercise in ways that would normally be boring. For example, chromatic exercises are super boring, but I'm learning Mike Stern's Chromazone, and it makes technical practice fun.
