hey Kris,
For the past month or so I've been putting in some serious time with the metronome, but I haven't really seen any improvements. What is the proper way to increase speed?
Should I be trying to play at a BPM slightly above of what I can play cleanly, and play that until perfect?
that's what Ive been doing so far...
I usually dedicate an hour a day to the metronome
Here is the log of what I did yesterday:
0 - 5 minutes = Warm up:- I start off with quarter notes (120 BPM) and slowly increase to Triplets, Eighth and sixteenth
5 - 20 minutes:- I take a sixteenth note pattern and run up and down the Pentatonic scale
-90 BPM at start, and 130 BPM when finished
20 - 45 Minutes- I noticed I need some work while descending on the high E and B string
- I played descending triplets on the High E, then continued the pattern to the B
- I played the pattern until comfortable, and then increased the BPM by 5
- I noticed that there was a point where I could play it perfectly, but if I added 5 BPM, it became really sloppy
-Started at 100 BPM and ended at 150 BPM
45 - 60 minutes-I used the metronome to practice a piece I was currently working on
-I played a neo classical sixteenth note piece
-Started at 90 BPM and ended at 120 BPM
do you have any tips as to how to practice more efficiently?
anything would be greatly appreciated
thanks!
oh and I was wondering how much time you dedicate to the metronome
is an hour a day sufficient?
