Hello All!
We all are here to learn to be better players. Each time we watch a video or read about playing we have the opportunity to improve greatly. Sometimes we do, sometimes we don’t. Certain lessons/articles seem to help us while others don’t. It is always our job to get the most out of everything we learn. The biggest thing to over come as a guitarist is to dig long enough till you find a procedure that works for you. A way that we understand. It is not another secret tip but just a way that drives it home for each of us. I feel most of us, especially me tend to get lost in a piece of music that we can play well, but nowhere near our goals. We do not take the time to find precisely what the problems are and fix them. Over the last 4 days I have seen my best improvement yet. I'm not really sure if it was just time for the hours of practice to kick in or just a new way of thinking. But it is likely the latter. Many of you may have read this before but you may just need to read it again. I have spent some time on Google trying to find any tips that work for me and this is the best one for me in understanding where I am going and how I plan to get there. It was the one that drove it in my thick skull. http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/columns/gen..._for_speed.html These where to Google terms I was using when I found the article, “Play fast” guitar “worked for me” -------------------- - leedbreak
Practice Makes Perfect, only when it is perfect practice :-) |

Thanks for sharing this. I totally agree with this 'lesson', and I am actually already seeing some results from it since I started a month ago with much more 'focussed' practice instead of speed-driven practice.
