“Improve Your Playing” Post By Pickstroke

Guitar Practice by Lucas

I’m always interested in how other guitarist practice. There are a bunch of different schools of thought on the topic.

Recently Tim of Pickstroke.com did a post about how he spends his time, what little time he has, practicing. Tim admits to not being a guitar god — I can relate! I encourage you to compare Tim’s description with how you spend your time practicing? What are the differences? Do you think the differences are good or bad? Based on that (you don’t have to post your thoughts) adjust your practice to improve.

Check out the article here: http://www.pickstroke.com/?p=278

You not only want to improve your playing but your effectiveness in praticing to play.

Persistence vs. Intelligence

"Guitar" from Flickr (CC) - Small

A while back, I was talking with my wife and the topic of Persistence versus intelligence came up. This isn’t a topic that I often consider… For no real reason, it just doesn’t cross my mind. (Which guitarists’ mind would it cross?)

My ultimate conclusion on the topic is that you can become intelligence by being persistent. No matter what you are doing or trying to learn, if you keep attacking a subject, constantly trying to learn about your topic of interest you will undoubtedly become “smart” on the topic.

Would you draw a different concolusion? Share your thoughts…
