Practice •

There was a time some years ago when I spent a massive amount of time doing various finger exercises to develop speed and general finger dexterity. What I found was that for me it didn’t do a damn thing. I didn’t get faster in any meaningful way related to my progress, my pinkie is a lost cause not worth saving and also I was bored to tears. I did manage however to build some good calluses. Now I practice almost exclusively to carefully selected backing tracks in different genres and my sole goal these days is to work on the melodic content and trying to work on playing fluid lines that makes musical sense. As of right now I play way too much at times, forget to let the music breathe and seriously need to work on my time on faster tempo’s. But no matter, the simple therapeutic pleasure of just playing my guitars is all I need at this stage in my life.
