I will never forget that shot by Law last year, where you beat us. He was the best go to guy in basketball last year. Even better than Durant in that respect. People here like A&M fans, also we like Ok State. 80% of our hatred is reserved for Missouri. Maybe 85%. Too bad about the cast. Try the mental thing. It is hard, you just mentally go through the music, trying to visualize the play, and hearing it in your mind's ear. If you do this, it will be interesting to see what happens when the cast comes off. You might try a totally new song, and learn it this way, and then see if you can play it then.

Yeah, i'm going to be working on the mental aspect for a while. when i get the cast off it's going to take a while for my fingers to get loose and strong again, so it'll be interesting.

I have learned a lot in the past about guitar practice when reading these kind of books and publications. Thanks for sharing wow. you dug for this one. or came to it by chance I guess. the major thing I got out of that, is when I am learning a difficult passage/fingering, to try to keep a visualization of it as I go. I have to concentrate. To see the fretted notes in my head in the right places on the neck. It might be 20 notes or whatever, and to see them all in my head on the fretboard as I go. Or more it is visualizing the next note group or 3 or 4 notes right before I play it. At fast speed this requires me to keep my brain focused, but if I focus I can visualize the entire passage, each note group right before I come to it. That seems to ingrain it as described in the article, it is consistent with what she wrote. And then I seem to be able to play it, without having to visualize it anymore. Or at play it a lot better, in what Marcus L and others call "muscle memory". It is kind of hard, kind of like doing an exercise, but it works well for me. And fortunately, once it gets into memory, you don't have to force the visualization anymore, it is automatic. I am sure you have thought of things like this in the past, or pretty close, but it is nice to read about it from another slant, as you say.

This stuff definitely works and was something that helped me the most to learn anything new and challenging as well as to improvise and write original material.

All of this could probably be enhance even more when you start meditating about certain things as opposed to just thinking about it. Thinking has a lot of distractions, but being submerged in the though through meditative techniques ought to amplify the results. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
