As of this month, I've been teaching guitar now for 14 years. Over the years, a teacher starts to notice some common things from students. Too many of us guitar players get so focused on the specific music, solos, riffs or songs that we love to play, that sometimes we actually forget some of the basic fundamentals of guitar.

For example, I have had students who could tear up the solo to Stairway to Heaven, but can't remember how to play an open C chord. And trust me, Jimmy Page knows how to play a C chord.

Here are five things that many guitar students tend to forget, including open chord shapes, how bar chords work, pentatonic shapes outside of shape 1, easy shape, how to use landmarks on the fretboard, I IV and V chords, and general fretboard knowledge that will help us all to become better guitar players.
