dont worry to much about progress.
Just try as much as possible to enjoy what you play and naturally you will be better
hifi_killer.... pathetic is very worried that's why he post here haha.
What hifi_killer quote is right.
You know what is the most important aspect of a musician?
It is the ability to hear. Music is a listening art.
If you are enjoying what you are playing, then you are hearing. Use your ears to guide you.
Spend your time to think of the problem you face more than your incorrect methods of practise. List out the problem you face clearly and post here separately so we can advise according. Now we dunno you face technique problems or lack of knowledge on the good practise methods.
Creating awareness of how your muscles move are very important in technique development.
Try this 2 things:
Study just one set of major and minor scales. I suggest you use A major and A minor.
1.
Technique development
Play the two sets of scales in a slow and relaxed manner. Playing slow but wrong muscle movements will not help at all! Check that all your other parts of your body is not making extra effort to just plucking one string and one note. (shoulders, neck, arm, wrist, stomach and basically every part of your body except your fingers used) Get the right motion. Do not rush for speed.
2.
Hearing development (musicial development)
Listen to the sound of the notes. Dun just run your fingers all over the place. Every note have a different sound. After listening, name out the notes. By doing that, you will be clear of the difference between the major and minor scale as u do it daily. Find the difference.
Hope it helps.
i practice 1 hour a day but i can't seem to do even a simple solo!
