Justin's Top 10 Practice Tips

Included in this list are some things that may not be very useful for a beginner, but try to remember them for later! They are explained in greater detail on the video. If there is a god of guitar then these would be the ten commandments!

1. Practice what you can't do, not what you can.

2. Never practice making a mistake.

3. Play perfectly slowly before you speed up.

4. Using a timer saves time.

5. Focus on one element of practice at a time.

6. Try and practice a little every day (not lots on one day).

7. Keep track of your practice (use a practice schedule).

8. If it sounds good it is good.

9. Playing and Practicing are very different, don't confuse them.

10. The more you think, the more you stink (practice until it becomes instinct).
