WORK sitting down. JAM and play to songs standing up, ROCK OUT and make it fun! You'll get both ways down that way I like to rock out in my bedroom with my stereo really loud, reminds me why I started playing in the first place, and you won't realize it, but your actually practicing for when you play live. Going nuts, and rocking out is much easier after running through it in your room Coutts, since I started this thread I've been doing exactly that - warmups, exercises SITTING, jamming and improv STANDING and it's way more fun. I think the excitement compensates for the difficulty factor. But it's getting easier playing standing because I've been practicing that way lately. No big difference anymore. -Kizaze You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Naturally, everyone can do as they want, it's just a tip. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
