How To Make Your Guitar Practice Time Effective
In many fields of endeavor you will find experts recommending that identifying a small technical problem and finding how to work on it is the best way to make progress. When you learn new guitar songs you will find that you can make one or two bars a special project that you can work on, whether it be a chord change, scale passage or whatever. If you are having particular problems changing between the C and the F chord, try slowing down the change to feel where the problem is in your hands and arms.
It doesn’t have to be a continuous fifteen minutes or half hour of going from one fingering to the next. You can make it interesting by making the change faster or slower, using the metronome and playing without any rhythm, but all the time learning how your muscles are rebelling against what your brain is trying to make them do.
This video is on chord changing but the general laid back approach to working with the guitar will help you in all aspects of your relationship with the guitar.
