Do you have a routine for mid players?
For me what works is what you said - divide your practice into sections. You see improvement and you don't get bored. For me it's 3 sections: technique/learning song or solo/ improvise or compose. These 3 sections of course are divided into more parts/exercises which allow me to hit nearly all guitar and musical skills on every sitting and be exited doing almost everything. Love this sh*t😄
Good episode 👍 Thank you.
These short 5 m learning sessions can fit your work day without needing a guitar too. Like memorizing intervals in your scales and mode, memorizing notes in your chords, even a memorization of notes on a staff even without your instrument. Those little work breaks for this kind of tedious learned pays off when you slowly realize you memorized so much super useful stuff. If i get upset with something real life, I'll name off a chord.. Bb diminish, and try to name the notes in the chord. Breaks up negative thoughts with a bit of learning, having to use chord formulas and memorized triads to go further.
YES!
Any ideas for learning songs in this format by ear? I am blind and never can find music notated in an accessible form.
This is very interesting. However, it seems to run counter to what Claus Levin of Guitar Mastery advocates. In short, he basically advises to just focus on one thing (a lick, an exercise, a song) and relentlessly push it to mastery through countless repetitions. To be clear, I’m not criticising you or Claus as I’m a huge fan of both your channels. I’m just confused I guess. I very much enjoyed the video. Thanks.
If that's what he says (I haven't verified that this is what he actually says, and there may be some disclaimers he makes before saying that, so this is not against Claus) then there is a definite disagreement. I would unambiguously advise against "focusing on one thing". I would agree, on the other hand, with "relentlessly push it to mastery through countless repetitions". Just not ONE thing at a time. (Recent research on human learning agrees with me on that),
@MusicTheoryForGuitar Okay that makes sense. Many thanks to you.

I keep one guitar in my truck with a mini amp
I agree and disagree. This is a good approach to practicing but for me personally I have always made a ton more progress spending alot of time focusing on developing technique in one night or one weekend.
Are we talking perceived progress, or measured progress? Every time I compare the two methods on something objectively measurable, there is a massive difference in results/time spent. That's why I say "don't trust your feelings". I will agree that we disagree if we ACTUALLY disagree, i.e. if you tried both way and measured the progress.
@@MusicTheoryForGuitar I agree that it can be beneficial to practice that way. Most likely for allowing the brain to absorb information.
As far as mastering techniques, the only way is to practice 2,000- 3,000 times and thr best way to do that is to grind through it.
In my opinion.
@@MusicTheoryForGuitar anytime I learn a new scale sequence the first thing I do is practice it in every position in one key over the entire fretboard. Then all 12 keys in every position over the entire fretboard using the circle of 4ths/5ths. It doe ls not take that long and by the time I'm done I have mastered the new sequence.
That's how they teach jazz improvisers to practice.
Martial Arts and other self defense disciplines discovered mastering physical technique requires a minimum of 2,000- 3,000 repetitions. 10,000 for true mastery.
To program your muscle memory.
It's been scientifically documented.
So yeah, I agree but I disagree.
Well, I agree that it takes repetitions, and my advice is emphatically NOT an excuse not to practice. My point is that "griding it" or " spending alot of time focusing on developing technique in one night or one weekend" is the LEAST efficient way to put your repetitions in (if measured in progress per repetition, or progress per time spent)
The martial art comparison works in one sense but not the other:
- First of all, martial artists DO "drill" skills, but rarely "grind" them. Most of the repetition is done in forms that ALREADY contain a variety of technique. You do not spent a weekend ONLY doing ONE technique (and if you do, after 30 min - 1h of practice you hit a very strong diminishing return zone)
- Martial arts require MORE repetition than guitar because part of the training is conditioning of large muscle groups. On guitar we don't need that much conditioning, and even the few techniques who do require conditioning (like bends or vibrato) are best done spaced in time rather than grinding, since they involve small muscle groups who can't take that many repetitions.
So agreed on getting the repetitions in. Not agreed on grinding. If you try the routine tips I give in the video, you will see that you can get more done in the same time.
And if you don't believe me, go and ask/watch the expert (Mike P. at HowToPracticeGuitar): www.youtube.com/@HowToPracticeGuitar
@@MusicTheoryForGuitar yes I understand what you are saying. I also understand it was more effective for me to master economy picking in one weekend instead of over months.
