One the most useful advice I got from a guitar instructor.
Again Kris, I've got nothing more to say than thank you very very much! To all GMCers this video is PURE GOLD! |

Sterling advice there Kris, thanks, we have to fight our impatience and learn to walk before we can run

I understand what you're saying but the walk/run thing is the old one of not trying to let ambition outweigh skill.
I guess I picked a bad analogy, you can't use a sprinting technique at walking pace, obviously you'd fall over. Kris's advice works on guitar though. I stand corrected. -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

I know that a lot of pro musicians with decent technique (in any genre) do this ...
When they're having trouble with something they already know at the correct (fast) tempo, they will instinctively and automatically slow it down to 1/2 speed for a few passes and then bump it back up the fast tempo. Not incrementally though. Just 1/2 speed then full speed. I didn't realize I did this until another player commented while watching me work on something during a sound check. He said he did the same thing and then I started noticing that a lot of players do this. Again, this is just for passages that you already know (or knew) but are having trouble with after maybe not doing them for a awhile. Like a riff or lick in a song that you haven't played in a long time. Just something to think about. This post has been edited by klasaine: Jun 5 2019, 01:34 AM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Also another great point, if one can't play a lick slowly, one does not know how to play the lick Good one, added! I think we are working on the X GMC commandments?! |
