Taking Time and Staying on the Level

  1. Work on each chord by itself. Focus on nailing the fingering and general form and staying relaxed. Take your hand off and reset between each attempt of each chord.
  2. Practice in chunks. Break things into small pieces, then build.
  3. Use the Rule of Five when practicing in chunks. Rule of Five: Don't move on from your current chunk until you can execute it correctly five times consecutively.
  4. Take your time! The key is quality, not quantity when it comes to reps.
  5. Everything you do in practice, you're practicing to do.
  6. Don't be too hard on yourself.
