If you really want to learn to play guitar, you also need a simple thing, before doing anything else. They must learn how learning takes place between the muscles and brain. If you understand the process by the brain to the muscles of your practice sessions will have to go as expected, producing effective results train.
You probably have heard the term muscle memory. This is the process of the brain learning and storing a set of detailed instructions for each group of muscles requiredfor every small task that you want to make your fingers on the guitar. When muscle memory is well established, it will act in a naturally effortless and almost unconsciously, to play the guitar.
These tasks need to speeds that are slow enough so that you can consistently implement them are perfectly trained. If you practice the guitar at a pace that many errors that you include at the end of teaching your muscles how the exercise produces play with the errors. UnfortunatelyMuscles can not distinguish between playing with bugs, and without playing it.
Here are 12 tips for the practice sessions, which will support the development of good muscle memory:
1. Prepare your whole body for the workout.
Practice while relaxed. How to start a pilot control of the aircraft prior to departure, you should check your body for any tension, stiffness, tightness, pain or discomfort. Tense muscles can close that during exerciseseriously limit the full range of motion needed to master the guitar. Even tension in the shoulders can travel to the arms and then eventually to the fingers. Stretch and warm your entire body before playing in order to stay loose. Begin practicing with slow, easy exercises to prepare your hands for more demanding new material.
2. Practice in a quiet, comfortable place where you are unlikely to be disturbed.
3. Commit to a specific time each day for practice.
Begin each day plan with a firm commitment to a practice that the specific details about when, where and what to play.
4. Keep your workouts short, frequent and very specific.
It is more efficient, the 20 minutes of daily practice as two or three hours practice once a week.
5. Always practice with a metronome.
Let me repeat. Always practice with a metronome. It is surprising how often even good guitarists of this rule. Training yourself to play a consistentPace will make your music sound professional. This is valuable whether you plan to only play with friends at a party or in a stadium full of screaming fans.
6. Tune the guitar before each practice.
7. Determine your optimum practice speeds.
For each part of a scale, the exercise or song find the fastest metronome speed that you can play without any mistakes. Practice, it is for a day at 25% to 30% of the maximum speed. Follow this with one days then at 50% of the maximum one day75%. On the fourth day of practice at your old speed. You may be pleasantly surprised that you have a new, faster speed. Be warned that this routine may be incredibly slow, but hang there, because it will really pay off.
8. Do not try to learn too many different things at each workout.
Practice, only small parts of an exercise or song at a time. Working on a completely new song, all in a setting that makes it more difficult for your brainto cement solid muscle memories. Can not handle exactly like a newborn baby a whole meal solid food, we need only a few, small musical spoonfuls at a time of practice.
9. The work on the problem parts not only what you already know.
That sounds very clear, but there is a tendency for new guitarists to play easy parts over and over while continuing to stumble over the problem spots.
10. Spend the first ten minutes warming up, then divide the remaining timeequally between new tasks and new songs.
11. Take time just goof around with the guitar.
Be sure to inject a healthy dose of fun in every workout. If you've used blues scales, then why not on some jam tracks, or even your favorite blues Insert the CD and try to improvise a solo. Select your favorite song to work at the end of each workout.
12. If you intend to run in front of people
Perfect your songs in private practice, thenPlay in front of sympathetic friends and family members. Create a practice environment that is as close to the conditions of the upcoming performance as possible. If you do then standing practice that. Say you take your friendly practice audience the freedom to talk and laugh at him during your practice. This will help you learn in a concert disturbing environment comfortable. Consider the record of your training sessions with a simple home video camera on aTripod.
Premiere nervousness you can shake off your game, no matter how good the material. If you repeatedly practiced playing in simulated concert environments then the real deal is a breeze.
The bottom line: To play well, you have to see how your body is programmed to then learn that there are free training sessions design.
