We all get impressed by the speed. The speed is not everything about your playing, but it kills... And the problem is that it also kills if you don't approach it in the proper way. The biggest mistake is to try playing fast too early. How to avoid it then? Watch my video and see how you can speed up scales!
Practice slowly... Practice slowly... Practice slowly...

I cant focus on guitar with such a gorgeous teacher!

This is so good of you. You are sparing those new students ,who follow your expert instructions, years of waisted energy and heartbreak. Whatever one does repeatedly becomes a habit. Impatience , born of desire, is a very bad habit. It’s much better to suffer the mental pain of learning ,patiently, the proven ways to play clearly than to suffer the physical pain of years of playing with inadequate playing technique. Working hard but wrong ,will not help. It will trap you in a cage of bad habits. You young people, who have a passion for this instrument, do not squander this opportunity to take Thu Le’s instruction. You really are a precious gem Thu. I sincerely thank you.

Very good lesson… i don’t discipline, sometimes i practice, sometimes i don’t,, but when i want to learn new score that i loves but faster than i could play, this video reminds me to back practice the basic 😂 And i can’t do strech as long as you.. some parts like in Bella Ciao with longer strech challenging me to practice harder.. Thank you Thu Le.. 🤗🤗🤗

Increasing the speed is a journey. Practice slowly, slowly. Thank you so much for this very helpful lesson.

Tuyệt vời quá cô ơi. Con chỉ mong trong 1 tương lai không xa, lại được thấy bộ ba Lê Thu- Hùng Phong-Tuấn Khang đứng trên cùng 1 sân khấu. Con nhớ ngày xưa hồi còn bé tý, được nghe cô chú biểu diễn Tình ca du mục trong show guitar bắc nam, đó là điều chưa từng phai mờ. Mong cô cùng gia đình giữ sức khỏe, an toàn giữa mùa dịch. Con hy vọng nếu cô có thời gian, cô có thể biểu diễn bài Đường chúng ta đi và Bài ca hy vọng chuyển soạn. Con cảm ơn cô nhiều

I usef for 2 years Scott Tenant Pumping Iron and never liked it. My first guitar teacher taught me to play going directly with the masters: Carulli, Sor, and his alike. Thu Le is amazing. I wished I could live close to her studio to get better. Her technique is masterfully designed for curious people llike myself.

Another effective video by Thu Le inspires me to be patient and focus on being more mindful in executing guitar technique. Her valuable advice in starting slow is vital in making progress with scale playing. Only a slow approach will allow the mind to refine and articulate the precise attack that produces the needed efficiency for quick and accurate scale playing. Thu Le is a great player as well as a very effective teacher of this magnificent art form.

Thu Le is very patient. Practicing the dotted eighth with 16th is an excellent technique. Scales are the best way to increase strength, agility and speed while studying harmony theory. I attached all the modes and keys of the Major, Harmonic Minor and Sarasangi in movable Do solfeggi in my Composition 101 textbook, 21st Harmony.

Dear Thu Le, Every time I'm watching one of your 'lessons' videos (9th one now), I find myself grinning widely. I believe I am telling myself, "Ya, makes sense, I can do this" (In TIME) ...practice slowly...practice slowly... Thank you so much for your dedication to all of us! Ciao for now, have a great week. Linda

Excellent lesson Thu Le. There is no way around it. You HAVE to start slowly. NO ONE gets fast overnight. These are great exercises when using a pick as well. Best lesson I've ever seen for learning to play faster. Thank you Thu Le!

Paco de Lucia, John McLaughlin, Al di meola, Jesse Cook, Johannes Linstead, Yngwie Malmsteen, all guitar speed demons that I've tried for many many years to emulate - to no avail. Every point made by Thu is right on point. Speed will come with time and years of practice, but even then the outcome may not yield the desired results. Progress will be made when we come to terms with our own limits, never in comparison with others.

@kyliestorm_music 3 жыл бұрын

@rabieelka4801 2 жыл бұрын

Al di meola is a picker .. he doesn't use his fingers and with a pick it's relatively easier to reach speed faster than with fingers.
