Why Most Self-Taught Guitarists Do Not Become Great - Part 1

Why Most Self-Taught Guitarists Do Not Become Great - Part 1

By T. Hess

As a self-taught guitarist, you hold yourself back from becoming great by not having effective practice habits. Not having correct practice habits makes your musical progress unpredictable and slow.

Most self-taught guitar players unknowingly take on the exact opposite of good habits and their playing suffers for a long time. Here are some of good habits that you need to get into to avoid getting stuck like them:

Good Habit #1: Focusing The Right Things At The Right Time

Many guitar players have the bad habit of repeating a difficult lick over and over. They believe that using this approach will eventually fix their mistakes. Instead, they end up wasting tons of practice time only to get minimal results if any. A much more effective practicing approach is to focus only on the specific notes that are giving you trouble. You don't need to continually repeat the other notes because you've already mastered them. Isolating your mistakes like this makes it easy to quickly identify where your playing is breaking down. This way your practice time is used only to correct these things (making it much more efficient).

Good Habit #2: Don't Make Things Harder Than They Need To Be

Self-taught guitarists often learn or form habits that are ineffective and frustrating. Since they learn on their own, these bad habits solidify over time. Doing this holds you back from becoming a better player and forces you to correct your technique from the ground up if you want to make progress. Common examples include: using incorrect/inefficient fretting, exclusively using alternate picking, not muting string noise effectively, and much more. When you make things easier on yourself by learning correct playing habits you save tons of practice time and get better faster.

Good Habit #3: Asking The Correct Questions

Guitarists who learn by themselves frequently ask the wrong questions when it comes to getting better. This leads them down the wrong path, which takes them longer to see any results. Guitar players who make the fastest progress ask themselves specific, high quality questions that get them the exact results they want as fast as possible. If you are not sure which questions to ask, the best approach is to find an experienced guitar teacher to work with. This teacher should already have helped many others achieve your musical goals - letting you know that they understand the right questions you should be asking to do so.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
