By using "The Principles of Correct Practice for Guitar" You will learn...
How tension becomes "locked-in" to muscles when you practice without sufficient awareness.....
How and why you adapt to that level of tension, how you are limited by it, and how, as time goes by, you consider it "normal".....
How you can cultivate "microscopic awareness", and how this awareness will allow you to practice with a new level of relaxation, "un-locking" the tension from the body, and how over time, muscle memory will help you build an entirely new foundation of technique.....
How playing the guitar will become an entirely new experience. What seemed hard (because you were really fighting your own "locked-in" muscle tension) will now be, and feel, EASY!
The "Principles" is composed of three elements:
26 Foundation Exercises: Specific routines to be done during practice, that will build technique (playing ability) in a step by step fashion, each step building on the previous one, and preparing for the next.
34 Understandings: Concepts which you must understand in order to begin to practice effectively.
7 Tools:Practice Approaches to be used to solve problems in playing. These approaches are based on certain key Understandings, such as Muscle Memory and Sympathetic Tension, as well as Attention and Awareness.
Practicing is not just taking out your guitar
and mindlessly moving your fingers around!
