1. Do not play too fast. Don't repeat a mistake 3 times. 2. Use a metronome. 3. Always break down a hard piece. 4. Practice step by step.. gradually progress. 5. Always set goals. Thank you Scott! ❤️

Two hacks: 1. When working a multiple measure phrase, I’ll often work the last measure first. Once I have that down, I’ll back up a measure at a time. This way, I am working into an area of confidence. 2. On solos that I play with a band, I practice them to about 10 bpm faster than I expect the tempo to be. This helps with 2 problems - the leader kicks off the tune faster than I expected, and my nerves lock up my fingers and slow down my playing.

Great hacks!! I use the 1st one all of the time, and when I am learning a transcription to record for social media, I will often learn it around 110% so that it feels slower and more relaxed when I'm recording.

I try to translate my drills/exercises into songs I know well. So, right now, I'm practicing enclosure patterns through all 12 keys. Since I dedicate most of my time in 1 or 2 practice sessions a week to actually playing music, I try to incorporate what I've learned or else all I've done is to learn an exercise really well but lack the ability to apply it. I practice 5 to 6 days a week. I also use a tuner to check the quailty of my sound and intonation before I get caught up in exercises or playing or transcribing. It helps promote and reinforce a good ear.

I need to be reminded time and time again to practice slowly. Part of my brain refuses to accept that this is essential. Too often I practice too quickly and get frustrated instead of practicing slowly and getting solid before speeding up.

What assists me; Recording my playing and playing it back. Then using the replay feature to slow the recording down. This can be recording just the sound or the sound with video. 🎼🎶🎷

Yeah, that's a great tip! Recording yourself will definitely help you hear what's going on.

Best tip I can give anybody is to work in practicing overtones I started practicing overtones a little while ago and it made massive changes to my tone and note sound
@ScottPaddock Жыл бұрын
Yeah, overtones are like magic! They just fix all of your air problems and help give you a fat and full tone.

Repetition: Don't repeat until you get it right. Repeat to you can't get it wrong. Agonizing slow, but it works for me.

Focus on one chord at a time
@ScottPaddock Жыл бұрын
That's a good starting place, but maybe try looking at chords by the way they relate to each other. Example 2,5,1 or the 4 chord going to the 1. Chords are always working together, so look at them in small groupings.
