Do’s & Dont’s of Guitar

Do’s of guitar
————–
1)Learn the difference between practice and playing, both of them are equally important, a good practise will help you develop good playing so don’t miss on either of them

2)Listen to all Kinds of Music–its very important to listen to whatever you can get hold of, this way a guitarist develops new ideas, he gets more insight on what he wants to hear and wants to play more

3)Always use a Metronome–i have seen many players not using a metronome, they say its boring, but just keep in mind, without a metronome it will be very difficult for you to get the timing right, also metronome will help you build speed

4)Play licks, phrasing, solos from everywhere and do it all the time, learn the lick and change it according to your convenience, change the speed, notes and what all u can do with it

Dont’s of Guitar
—————-
1)don’t get bored from practicing, it might seem boring at times but remember it will help you in the long term

2)Don’t try to play all, when its not possible for you to do so, u can not expect a beginner to play iron maiden solo’s, and he should not try to do that as well

3)you want to play fast–first learn how to play slowly, playing slowly is much difficult than playing fast. If you can’t play that lick perfectly at 60bpm, you have no business playing it at 200bpm.

4)Sacrifice emotion for technique. Speed and slick sounding licks are great. There is a place for them, and the time will come one day, have patience
