Brilliant advice, there’s so much info out there it could be a minefield for a beginner. I find that some things are harder to grasp than others. I had to have consistent help and advice and that’s why I have one to one lessons with a guitar tutor who watches me like a hawk and puts me on the right track but I do appreciate all the amazing material on JustinGuitar and I regularly refer back to the lessons that Justin has put together. It’s a long journey but it’s a great one and I’ve never been happier since I picked up my new Taylor 12 fret and I do practice every single day. Thank you Justin!

Excellence cannot be rushed . On a more granular level - the best advice I ever got - when learning new stuff - play it as slowly as you need to get the notes correctly and gradually speed up . This simple tip unlocked so much for me and I stopped learning to play songs very badly at tempo - Scuttle Buttin' for instance. It does NOT matter how slow you need to go as long as it's accurate.
@daveberkheimer2166

And it's not just playing something slowly, but playing something slowly AND making it musical; concentrating on all the nuances and phrasing that makes the solo (if it's a solo) attractive in the first place. Doing that over and over will make you a more accurate as well as a more expressive player. In addition, it gives you some insight into the player that recorded the solo in the first place. There's often more to a guitar part than just the notes. And trust me, if you stick to this you will never forget it; it will be with you forever. Another thing that has helped me is practicing without the guitar..... just sitting and visualizing every thing that you're doing without ever touching the guitar. You'll be amazed what doing that will get you. Justin touched on this a bit when he talked about what it would take to program a robot to play the guitar. Studies have shown that athletes who spend a percentage of their time visualizing their performance will experience a better outcome than those athletes who do only physical practicing. People often talk about muscle memory which is actually a misnomer; it's actually brain memory because it's your brain that ultimately controls your body.... even on the subconscious level. It's all about establishing neural pathways that allow the mind/body connection to work more seamlessly. One more thing, learning this way actually makes learning new things easier and quicker. But still, slow and steady makes it stick.

I had a kinda messed up approach which I think worked perfectly for me. I'd spend half the time rushing through lessons/tutorials, doing things that are way out of my comfort zone. Then the other half I'd revisit old stuff from 1-2 months ago and try to perfect it. It was nice because once you played some faster/more complex stuff (even if you play it badly), everything below that feels like slow motion and it becomes much easier to get it right.

The more I get into fingerstyle guitar in particular, the relevant I find these concepts of 1. Breaking down a song arrangement into 'chunks' and 2. Separating out the parts which aren't quite right, and slowing them down to extremely slow pace (so slow it's impossible to get them wrong) until you get them down. Fingerstyle just seems to be a perfect medium to apply this learning method. When you start out, Blackbird and Dust in the Wind seem so so difficult and an insurmountable task - but when you put the time into them, at the right speed and in the right way, it's pleasantly surprising when you sit down one day and all of a sudden your fingers and memory have just 'got' it. Very good lesson!

I do not learn any songs from memory . and i know i will never be a guitar god like yourself. , i only play from top line music. [the melody]. My idea is, if i can play this type of music with ease and add my own bits and pieces ,the music should sound quite good. i play music from the 20s through to the 60s standard songs. a great era for great songs..The point i make is, i am becoming a good top line notation reader i can position my fingers well, and read the lyrics at the same time.The time i might have spent learning rifts/and loads of scales by memory has been spent learning and playing a couple of scales just enough to allow me do and play what i do now. with ease.And it is FUN.

the code-writing / robotic arm analogy is spot on. i always think of learning new technique now as sculpting new neural connections (which is what it is) and it pays to get them right first time. also pays to know when to stop and give the brain time to digest the new information: two days away from a new lick can pay better dividends than two days of dementedly trying to get in right, in my experience.

I started learning to play the guitar being middle-aged, nearly 2 years ago. 3 months later I began playing rhe mandolin. 1 year later I bought my first ukulele. Now, I was very dedicated and passionate, playing for 3-4 hours a day. Not messing with lots of songs, perfecting every song and then going to the next one. I studied Czardas on mandolin for months, till I felt satisfied by what I heard. Same with the ukulele. Not hundreds of songs, just a few, till perfected. Chord changing became easier and now is very easy. The quitar learning takes time, years. If done correctly you get more confident. And by all means, play slowly till you master every song. Record your playing and find what needs improvement. Rushing will destroy everything. Focus on one thing at a time. Better have a poorer repertoire than a messy variety of songs. And learn the music theory too. There are no shortcuts in Music. Build a strong base and be determined and do not forget to enjoy every moment. It is not a race, it should be a joyful journey. Cheers!

Thank you, Justin, for this excellent lesson on how to practice intelligently. This old guitar player has made every one of the errors you discuss, plus countless more, that have held back my musical growth. I can tell from the tempo and the style of your videos that you prepare yourself very thoroughly before you start recording. I notice that you have notes that you use to stay on message, which I really respect. I have had teachers of photography and sports who let their minds wander all over the place, wasting my time and my money. I can see that you would not do that to your students. (I would describe what a waste my golf lessons were, but I'm sure you are far too busy.). I am self-taught, and in some ways I am a good teacher, and in other ways a poor one. This video really meant something to me because it lays out a lot of the mistakes I've made. One of my worst mistakes has been to practice when I was mentally or physically tired or preoccupied with the cares of the world. This caused me to lose my concentration, and to groove mistakes and poor technique into my playing. I want to thank you again for this lesson, because it reminded me that it's never too late to change old, bad habits, and to grow and to improve. BTW, I just hit the like and subscribe buttons because of your words and your calm, relaxed approach to teaching. Thank you again, especially for your careful preparation for this lesson!

Great advice Justin Developing skills as part of the educational Takes time I like the analogy that learning guitar / music is like learning a language Retention of the facts and skills is linked to time Make the retention hold We older boomers ( older individuals)have an intake and retention As we learnt not from computers But from reading Note taking Retention followed Good luck all Thanks again Justin fro your time effort👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏✌🏼 Your ten times & memorising short passages Works for most of us ✌🏼 Chunk it 👍🏽

Every point you discussed resonated with my musical journey. Some points you discussed I discovered by default and stuck with it. I need to learn slowly. So eager to digest almost everything on you tube that it overwhelms me. Starting now following your advice. Profoundly grateful to you Justin.

When I started playing guitar I tried to learn everything. I bought all Justin’s songbooks and subscribed to everything possible 🤭

After listening to you for some time now. I think it's maybe sinking in a bit now! I'm trying with some success. Slow down. Thanks👍 x 10

Solid advice. I tend to start again if I make a mistake. I think retaining something really helps if you enjoy the thing you're trying to achieve. That feeling you get when you nail that song or technique provides the encouragement and gives me inspiration. As a result it helps me retain what I've been learning.

Dog trainers back chain complex behaviors. Starting from the last chunk and building the next previous part of the behavior. I don’t think it’s been suggested this for learning guitar, I don’t know why. This video made me decide to try it. Also, my understanding is that ending on a mistake causes the brain to fix it mentally in a subsequent period of silent rest better than if you end when you get it perfectly. Which is why, when you go back to a task, even an hour later, even if you left mid-mistake, you’ve improved. And were you the one who said that you can consciously make the mistake a few times to analyze what you’re doing wrong? Learning is complicated. But If I waited for perfection before moving on, I wouldn’t go far. I think of it more like sculpting than drawing. I don’t mean to be critical, People learn differently, teachers teach differently. Sometimes I send a student to another trainer so they can process what is essentially the same task through a different approach. Hopefully this will make sense in the morning.
