Is there any thing i can do to practice / improve guitar skills while i'm bored in class, or just on my way to and back from school on bus? Anything at all like finger exercises, or do you guys have any suggestions? Thanks, i feel like im wasting time when I could be improving!
In almost anything; sports, music, art, acting, etc., you can improve by working on the mental aspect of something. With guitar, you can find something strait (ruler maybe) and start jamming while you listen in your head. One thing that helped me learn at the speed i did was practicing in my head and moving my fingers. Somebody would show me a riff or something, and I could barely play it. We would go to a movie or something, and when I'd get back. I could play it better than he could. During the movie (or whatever form of spare time) You can go over something over and over. It doesn't take that much concentration, so you can still do other things, (clean the dishes, follow the story-line) at the same time. But the next time you pick up a guitar, it will be as if you have been working on it constantly for the last three hours!
Good luck,
Hope this helps |
