Guitar Practise Tips

Guitar practise has to be split into single notes and chords or chord progressions. The best guitar practice means you need time to work on your weakest guitar techniques. All scales, arpeggios, modes are motor skills which have to be on tap when actually improvising. Playing over chord progressions is a must for a good improviser and backing tracks are great for jamming over changes. Pro tuition is useful to give you perspective on where you are really at in terms of technique, music theory and rhythm. To learn guitar seriously you must master motor skills! These are sometimes boring and monotonous finger exercises that eventually give you the agility to play what is in your minds ear instantaneously. To play guitar in a band your meter must be excellent. Meter is your ability to feel music in even measures of time. Rhythm is technique related, often beginner guitar players think their rhythm is bad, when in fact, it's their technique that is lacking. If you don't have the agility to move into a chord or lead position, then you lose your timing. That's why motor skills are crucial for guitar practice.
