I tend to slip miss my strings sometimes and I feel like I am not making contact on all my target strings. Once again thank you for your insight. I am now one of your FANS!!

    Hey Olicana So i have been working on this lick for like a month now, doing exactly what you have instructed, but no matter what i just can connect the first 3 chunks at the speed im supposed to I have been training on it but no improvement for weeks What do i do for this chunk connecting issue Thanks🙏

    • @OlicanaMusicGuitar
      @OlicanaMusicGuitar 29 дней назад

      Hey Elijah! There a few check points you should make sure can do: 1) Get chunk 1, 2, and 3 at the speed you want to play the lick at on their own. You should treat each of these chunks as their own mini licks and get them to the desired speed independently of one another. You should do this for every chunk in the phrase. 2) Make sure you can connect chunk 1 to chunk 2 at the desired speed without any issues. There's no point adding chunk 3 if you can't do this yet. 3) If you can do everything above make sure you can connect chunk 1 and 2, and the first note of chunk 3 at the desired speed. When you get this you can add the second note of chunk 3 in and get that up to tempo. After that repeat for the 3rd note, and so on. At some point the 3rd chunk should just cascade as muscle memory of the chunk developed in step 1 takes over. Essentially you want to pay close attention to what you're doing and try to figure out exactly where you're tripping up in the lick. Then you have something extremely specific to practice. From there you just need to keep making attempts at the problem at speed where it might go wrong around 50% of the time. When something's tripping you up the best thing to do is make the problem as small as possible, practice and master it, then add notes on either side to put it into the context of the lick or solo as a whole. Let me know if that helps, or if you have any other questions

    I intentionally try to make my music "breathe". I find the moments of silence are often more important than the notes played. The feel of space between adds great depth to phrases.

    Music is more than a language, it should be formed in a melodic line. A melodic line should have peaks and lows and should ascend and descend gradually. It should also be as simple as possible and not to overwhelm your audience ears.

  • @phayzyre1052
    @phayzyre1052 7 месяцев назад

    This here is the meat and potatoes of playing guitar and the way you explained it was excellent! Guitar scales are important but just going up and down a scale all the time leads to boredom. Knowing how to apply them like he’s doing here is the key to breaking out of a redundant scale pattern boxes and actually making music.

    Phrasing is the only way to sound original. Copying to use a lick,is just that,copy, but if you can put it together in your language on guitar,its a part of you, l like the way you think,you must be gold to beginners!

    Good stuff. I liken space in music to appropriate punctuation in good writing, and vice-versa. Good writing has a distinct rhythm that grabs you, an ebb amd flow that gives it real life. (Read some Moby Dick by Herman Melville.) The same with space in music, it creates an anticipation that wants you to hear more and a distinct authenticity to phrasing. Something that is uniquely you. (Peter Green. Nobody does it better.) And it takes more discipline than people realize. I also find just putting the guitar down and doing something else for a few days, or so, actually improves my playing when I come back to it. Go out and mow the lawn, take some nature walks. Give yourself some space, some time to think. I know that sounds sacrilegeous, but it actually works for me. I play better when I don't play all. Ironic. 😂😂❤
