The Best Guitar Tip is to Practice Above What You Know

December 28th, 2008

I’m not sure how old I was when I decided to get serious about my music, but when I did, I went after it full bore.

When I wasn’t practicing, I was thinking about playing.

One of my first guitar instructors gave me many excellent things to practice on and learn but probably the best guitar success tip he gave me was to always practice beyond my current ability and to do so slowly.

By playing a piece of music beyond your current skill level, you’ll challenge yourself each and every time. Then, the skills you already know fairly well will seem easier and less challenging.

It’s a gradual increase in skills that builds your skill.
