HowToPracticeGuitar
Guitar players:Learning songs takes way longer when you try to play each part of a song up to speed before learning the next part. ❌ Don't do this.Songs aren't exercises. Some parts within the same song can be insanely hard compared to others.Practicing the hard part for weeks is a good way to get so sick of the song - you give up on it and never play it all the way through.Do this instead:✅ Learn the FULL song at your 'bottleneck' speed. AKA: the top speed of the 'hardest' part of the song. (The bottleneck.)This way, you can learn the full song all the way through really fast. From there, isolate the bottleneck part and practice to make it easier and faster. When you do, the whole song will speed up automatically. And even if you move on to another song before mastering the one you're on, at least you'll know it all the way through. Better that than to be one of those players who only plays (the easy) parts of songs.
