    I am an experienced guitar player and still watch this video every few months as I stumble back into bad habits. These are four KEY elements to achieving steady progress for any skill, not just music. Play and STAY in the Zone ! Thank you Mark !

    Hey Mark! Good to see your subs are growing. I’ve been subbed since last year. I always like your videos even if it’s a repeat (helps to reinforce the fundamentals)
    Keep up the good work!

      Thanks. I appreciate that! And it's always important to return to the fundamentals...

    Hi Mark. Thanks for the Video. "Make sure you play it right" Yes I do this, slow enough to be perfect melody wise , but when it comes to tricky sub divisions I'm never sure if i really am perfect however slow I take it... .eg are my triplets or 1/16s exactly equal. I am trying to improve my timing. Any thoughts on knowing when its right ? thanks

    • @PlayInTheZone
      @PlayInTheZone  3 роки тому

      Hi Royston. In those cases I tend to slow it right down. To the point where there's plenty of time to count every subdivision. That way you can be sure you're getting it right - and you'll eventually start to *feel* how it should sound rather than having to do everything by counting. That's when you can start to speed things up while being confident your timing is still solid.

    Very helpful. I'm 70 years old. Is improvement still possible at my age?

    • @PlayInTheZone

      Glad it was helpful. And yes, you can absolutely keep improving at any age.

    Really interesting. Great videos.
    I am a bit confused as from my understanding it doesn't fit with what Huberman talks about and that you linked to in a different video.
    Am I right in thinking that slow, correct practice comes after you have put the repetitions in and made heaps of mistakes?

      I think that's a decent summary, Clive. When you're learning an entirely new skill, you NEED to make mistakes. That's how the brain starts to understand how varying different parameters and approaches contribute to the success or failure of what you're doing. However, once you've got good at the basic skill and you're looking to make it solid and dependable for use in a specific context or situation then you want to do lots of "perfect" repetitions. (But you'll never get to the point of being able to do "perfect" repetitions without having made lots of mistakes when you start out)

      I see your point, but his goal in using the American English spelling might be to widen his audience.

      It’s not about America vs British. Practice is the noun and practise is the verb.

    I love this Mark! But I'm reading in Tiny Habits that motivation is not the most effective thing to bank on (?) Thanks so much, I am really getting a lot from the courses and videos 😘
