Scott’s Practice Method

This Practice Thought is all about my practice method. I think it's easiest to apply this method to learning songs, but the more you integrate this practice method into your practice time, the more you'll notice the massive impact it can have on the way you play guitar.

A lot of self-taught guitar players start learning guitar as a way to unwind, relax, and drift off into music land. While this state of mind is important and useful - especially for performing or getting yourself into a good, relaxed mood - it is not useful when you're trying to learn something new. This practice method is designed to help you get the most of the time you spend trying to improve your technique and general hand, arm and body awareness around your instrument.

I know this is a departure from learning a specific technique or music theory concept, but this is at the core of my approach to improving my actual guitar skills. I hope you enjoy it.
