Great channel. Definitely do a pt 2. and more tutorials and lessons. always good. how do you get from beginner to intermediate to advanced accurate fast playing?
Terrific advice! I’ve been playing guitar for over 35 years, and I still don’t do all these things. There’s always room to grow.
Thank you! Very true.
starting at the end is interesting. then the reward is learning the beginning. Also, sometimes when you can't get a passage right you just have to sleep on it and your brain puts it into muscle memory.
Exactly!
Great video, it was very explanatory and organized. Using the metronome is the most important thing, even though it is boring.
Yes I agree!!

Thanks so much!
Thanks Emma for these great and inspirational tips! ❤
You’re welcome!
Muchas gracias Emma por tus consejos y por compartir tus conocimientos. Intentaré grabarme, aunque me da vergüenza, jajaja, pero lo haré y veré como progreso. Muchas gracias nuevamente. 😊
Yes!! I know it can be embarrassing at first, but the more you do it, the easier it gets and the more you improve! I still have times where I record myself and think “that was terrible.” It’s all part of the process and growing!
@@emmabordersmusic Muchas gracias
Sound advice, Emma. It is so annoying to work for months 'perfecting' a piece, only to notice later that you've mis-heard and mis-learned a note or phrasing. Worse still, multiple notes and phrasing after you go back to unlearn, correct and re-learn the corrections! I'm going through that now, as I play by ear. Relearning Sam's 'Whitewater' solo from the 'Drive' Bela Fleck album..
I definitely relate to that!
@@emmabordersmusic Part 2? Yes, please!
Yep keep forgetting to stop and practice difficult sections. Also a piper told me to tape my progress so you can review it when despondent. I think i will do it for new tunes. A good idea.
It is really encouraging when you look back and see how far you’ve come!
