Analysis Of 'Suck' - By Tom Hess
"The
greatest players are not great because they were naturally talented.
In every case, truly great players become great because their

- Misconceptions
Of Practicing For Speed
- By Mike Philippov
It is a fact that the majority of lead guitarists
want to increase the speed of their playing. Having virtuoso
playing ability is a wonderful way to add a new tool to your
arsenal as a musician. However this tool is also one of the
most difficult to attain. There have been many articles written
on the topic and the most common advice that is often heard
is “practice slowly and use a metronome.” Of course this is
very good advice that should definitely be followed.

Glue Of Repetition

the mental, emotional and physical aspects of the process, the
most powerful tool you can use when you sit down to practice
is what I call the Glue Of Repetition, and this glue is applied
with another tool, one that every student I have ever taught
is required to get, and learn how to use properly: a metronome.

To Nail A Solo
- By Jamie Andreas
First
of all, we must have the basics of practice approach down, and
a proper foundation to our technique. If we do not know how
to teach our fingers anything, and as a result, all of our past
efforts in practice have given us a tension filled and handicapped
pair of hands, then we are like crippled people trying to run
a marathon.

Practicing or Guitar Playing?
- By Edward Cupler
Just because you’re holding your guitar
doesn’t mean that you’re playing it, and just because

practicing. There is a real difference and it needs to be acknowledged
if you want to improve your level of playing skill.
