How to practise classical guitar video 01

"Yes, indeed. Slow practice, really slow practice. My belief is in very slow practice and very relaxed practice. The opposite of being set in front of a music stand for an hour and ten minutes without moving, where you’re repeating the same phrase at whatever tempo it is, over and over again. That’s often like practising the mistakes, entrenching them. My idea of studying a difficult passage is to be very relaxed, a cup of tea on the table, maybe playing on my right knee, and I’ll be looking at it and thinking “That’s really nice, I like that, now get the quaver rest there, now there’s this, now that will be a very nice way of doing it. Ooh, doesn’t that sound good, and I’ll try the grouping that way, and I might just play this quietly maybe…” This is all me talking to myself, getting the feel of it in the fingertips, it’s almost like musing over a chess problem very, very quietly."

Thanks for sharing, David. To my relatively untrained ear, even the duff notes sound beautiful!
