It is a very satisfying feeling to experience that you are progressing as a guitarist. In other words, to have the confidence that you are becoming a better guitar player day by day. By small means you can change your practicing habits towards success! To practice guitar and become a better guitarist is like filling a bucket with water. Filling the bucket is the hours of practicing. But, the bucket has some holes resulting in leaking water. The holes symbolizes the bad practicing habits that actually prevent you from progressing in the pace you should. Let us start by looking at those holes in the bucket. What type of bad habits can hinder you from getting better? Here are some suggestions: 1. You do not have any idea what type of guitarist you want to become. This makes it difficult to set goals. If you do not focus on the things you have to learn to progress towards your goals you will have so many things to practice that it will be overwhelming. No guitarist has time to practice everything if he wants to succeed! 2. You are not practicing an exercise long enough. Maybe you are aimlessly wandering between guitar exercises that are good but has to be practiced with concentration over a period of time to really be incorporated and become part of your skills. 3. You are practicing things that are above your level of proficiency. Probably you have some very accomplished guitarists that serves as models for what you want to become. That is good! It gives you inspiration! But, you are probably not as good as those guitarists yet. If you try to play as fast as they do and the things the play you might hinder your progression! 4. You do not pay attention to your hand posture and body posture as you play. The way you practice a guitar exercise will also be the way you perform it in front of an audience. Bad posture will only take you so far and then your progressing will level away. 5. You are practicing too fast. A very common and understandable mistake. Every guitarist wants to play fast sometimes. However, playing fast can be the most effective way to stop your progression! 6. You forget that playing guitar is about creating music. Without this overall goal you will not enjoy playing guitar for very long and your listeners will also lose interest in your playing! Let us mend those holes in the bucket and you can practice for a shorter period of time every day and still progress faster! Here are some suggestions: 1. Take time to ponder your feelings regarding your guitar playing. Write down a goal as to what type of guitarist you want to become. This makes it much easier to choose exercises that are appropriate and that leads you towards your goal. It will also be much easier to evaluate your progression when you know what you want to become. You do not need to be too nervous about this as you probably will change your goals over time. 2. If you prepare your own homework as a guitarist remember to practice the exercises well enough to learn the skills involved completely and long enough to commit them to your long-term memory. When you have incorporated a skill completely into your repertoire it will become a building block that helps you learn other exercises easier. 3. Choose exercises that are challenging but not too difficult. If your exercises are too hard to learn you will lose interest in practicing them long before you have accomplished your homework. 4. Remember to always practice your exercises with correct hand posture. This means to hold and use your hands in a way that minimize tension. This will prevent muscle injuries, hasten your development and secure a pleasant experience for you when you play. 5. When you learn new things on your guitar it is very important to practice slowly, sometimes very slowly. The paradoxical truth is that you will progress much faster if you practice slowly. What will happen is that you avoid making many of those mistakes that slow down your progression. 6. Give yourself the pleasure of listening to good music, this means, music that is performed in a musical way. Listening to any instrument in any musical setting helps you develop as a musician and as a guitarist. Also remember to learn pieces of music by heart thus building up a repertoire of your favorite pieces to play to your friends. It is a satisfying feeling to know that if someone asks you to play you are actually prepared to play pieces you have practiced and can perform well!
作为一个吉他手，能感到自己进步是很让人满足的事情。也就是说，你拥有了日渐成为更优秀的吉他手的自信。通过一些小的方式，你可以改变你的练习习惯以通向成功。
不断地练习以成为一个更好的吉他手就像灌满一桶水。这里面的水就是练习的时间。但是，这个捅里有一些漏水的小孔。
这些小孔代表那些实际上阻碍你取得应有的进步的坏习惯。
让我们看看到底有那些这样的洞洞。有哪些习惯会阻碍你进步呢？
1.你没有明确的给自己定位成为哪种类型的吉他手。这个让你设置目标更加困难。如果你不专注于那些你进步需要做的事情，你就会有好多要练的技巧，它们会让你应接不暇。想成功的人没有谁能够练习每样技能。
2.你没有练习一种技巧足够长的时间。或许，你漫无目的的徘徊在那些需要长时间集中精力练习技巧上，这些技巧非花大时间是不能能被掌握并成为自己技巧的。
3.你在练习超过自己所在水准的事情。或许你有很多被自己视为楷模的吉他手。这很好！他给你前进的动力。但是，你并非和他们一样优秀。如果你想演奏得向他们一样快，你可能会阻碍自己的进步。
4.当你弹奏的时候，对自己的手指和身体的姿势不注意。你练琴的姿势也是你在观众面前的姿势。难看的姿势只会让你停滞不前，然后你想进步已不可能了。
5.你练琴的时候太快了。一个普遍并且突出的问题。每个吉他手都常想贪快。但是，弹奏得太快是最容易阻碍你进步的。
6.记住，弹吉他是一种创造音乐的过程。没有这个大致的目标，你不会弹很久，你的听众也会很快失去兴趣。
现在让我们补一补这些洞洞，你就可以事半功倍的练习了。
这些是点建议。
1.花点时间去想想你对吉他演奏的感觉。写下你想成为那种吉他手。这会让你选择练习的时候更加轻松并且引导你成功。这也会让你更容易的衡量自己的进步程度。你不用对此太过紧张，因为这个可以随着时间而改变的。
2.当你为自己制定练习计划时候，记住，一定要把这些技巧练得纯熟并且足够长的时间，来使它们牢牢地停留在你的记忆中。当你已经完全学会一种技巧他会变成一个帮助你学习其他技巧的坚实基础。
3.连一些有挑战性的，但不要太难的曲子。如果你的练习曲太难你在完成之前会失去兴趣。
4.记住，练习的时候一定要有良好的姿势。这个保证你在弹奏的时候能够是身体保持最小的拉伸状态，也会防止肌肉受伤，加快进步，冰保证弹奏的娱乐性。
5.当你学一些新东西时候，一定要慢慢练，有时候要很慢。貌似你练得慢，就会进步得快。你要尽量避免阻碍你进步的错误。
6.让自己好好地听优秀的音乐作品，所谓优秀的音乐，就是那些以美妙的音乐方式表现出来的音乐。聆听任何一种乐器表演的任何一种优美的音乐会帮助你成为音乐家和吉他手。
当然也要用心得雪上几首你喜欢的音乐来建一个节目单好向你的朋友炫耀一下。当一个人请你弹奏你已经联系好的并且能弹好的乐曲时很美妙的事情。 |
