Practice Theory

[82Benedetto]

Just wanted to share something I've been utilizing in my own practice routine that has helped me improve a great deal!

I'm sure many of us saw rapid improvements in our playing and understanding as we first began playing guitar. As time progressed, the rate of progress likely dropped off.

I've been studying a concept titled "deliberate practice."

One scholar researching this practice has outlined a pretty good way to apply the idea to whatever it is you may be studying.

I hope you guys get some use out of this. I know I did. After a period of playing, but playing things I really only knew and not challenging myself properly, this really helped me grow as a player some more.

This goes beyond scales, theory, and typical information overload. Exhaust yourself, in a good way, when practicing.
