The Best Practice Technique, Ever.

If I were to give the best practice technique ever, it would be this: Variation.

Take the same exact thing that you are practicing, be it a chord progression, a lead guitar lick, or a scale, and practice it in as many different ways as possible.

Doing this strengthens the synapses needed to execute the skill faster. The synapses become coated with more Myelin, and because the circuit is more insulated, the skill becomes faster.

Last night, I was helping a student practice variations of the chord progression D to A. I asked him to play on different strings, different frets, different tempos.

Of all the practice techniques I know, just this one will make you a 10X better guitar player.

Guitar Is The Easiest Instrument To Learn

Pound for pound, guitar is the easiest instrument to learn. Here's why:

1. 7 basic chords can offer you millions of songs alone.
2. Strumming is easy to do when you have the right skills (and those don't take too long to learn)
3. Strumming and changing chords can be difficult at first, but later become like second nature.

Though guitar can seem like a steep learning curve, it's not as bad as violin, clarinet, or piano. Plus, you get to play loud and enjoy playing along to your favorite tunes.

The Cheesiest Guitar Solos, EVAH!

I don't know quite why, but the cheesiest guitar solos of the 80's stick out to me as the most awesome guitar solos ever. I've been transcribing and teaching a ton of guitar solos as of late, and teaching them to a very interested student. He really likes the cheesiness. Maybe millenials have a higher tolerance for cheesy guitar solos?

Here are the solos I've been transcribing (and would love to teach YOU):

1. (Everything I Do) I Do It For You - Bryan Adams
2. Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now - Starship
3. Highway To The Dangerzone - Kenny Loggins

I've also been preparing to teach this same student some more Red Hot Chili Peppers solos, and some more Nirvana solos too.
