Top 10 tips for practicing guitar

 

This list contains things that may not be particularly useful for beginners, but keep them in mind for later. These are the Ten Commandments of Practice!


If you try to stick to these simple ideas, you will actually notice a big difference in your learning progress!

  1. Practice what you can't do yet, not what you can already do.​

  2. Never practice a mistake. Always correct yourself.

  3. Start slowly and get it right before playing faster.

  4. Use a metronome or something that gives you the beat and stick to it.

  5. Focus on individual pieces before putting them together.

  6. Try to play a little bit every day instead of playing for a long time at a time but only in one day

  7. Plan when you plan to practice

  8. If you think it sounds good, it is good!

  9. Playing and practicing are two different things; don't mix it up.

  10. Don't think too much! It's best if you play instinctively.
