What do you need to know to officially become an intermediate guitar player? Well, let's find out. In this video, I'll go over the things that I think are absolutely essential for every intermediate guitarist to know. These topics cover lead, rhythm, theory, technique, and fretboard knowledge. By the end of this video, you'll know whether you're a late beginner or an intermediate player.

Here's your intermediate guitar checklist:
Clean & smooth chord transitions
Find the name of every note on the fretboard
Smooth & consistent strumming
Muting with both hands
The theory of the major scale
Basics of playing guitar by ear
The CAGED system
Improvise a simple guitar solo
Jam with other musicians
Come up with your own musical ideas
