re: advice to just play, play, play and it will come & develop..or never be in tune
Glad I ran into this thread as I have been struggling in total frustration with the half or full barre as well as the pressure that needs to be applied by the fingers to get a great tone to each note.
If you do play, play, play i'd further suggest you do not play the same tunes in doing so. You will get sick to the point of nausea everytime you hear the tune, and it will be embedded in your brain. Vary the tunes significantly, even use different genres. I don't understand the cryptic, "develop.....or never play in tune". OR why using an Electric with .08s would accomplish this??? |

A soft musical part sounds especially sweet when juxtaposed against some strong/ loud parts. I've found that this all comes with deliberate practice - lots and lots of it - and I've got a long ways to go yet A couple tools that work well to cultivate these two qualities: (1) recording yourself playing - the recorder doesn't lie; and (2) find some recording artists that you admire and listen to lots of their music.

Play slow and know your fingering for whatever piece of music like to play. Playing too fast causes cramping up which turns into a kind of 'bear grip'. It's impossible to put any kind of expression into a piece of music when this occurs. As for the picking hand, complete attack control is essential in conjunction with any kind fretting technique (vibrato, hammer ons, pull offs, etc.). There are no shortcuts for achieving any kind of expressive playing without learning and understanding the necessary tools first. It's a slow process and it's a constant learning process which will never stop.

How i developed it was through a lot of exercises..
Firstly you can start playing aggressively with putting much force towards every note.. once you develop strength in your fingers.. you wouldn't have to make an effort to play every note.. Secondly you must also do some stretching exercises... It really helps a lot..At least it did help me.. |
