How to Practice Guitar Effectively

This are only tips on how to practice guitar based on my experience.

Play your guitar everyday,keep it consistent at least 30mins a day well do great. Try not to miss a single day practicing everyday greatly enhances you hand memory. As you practice everyday you'll notice that your fingers get more and more comfortable and more relax next thing you'll know your playing some chords or songs without even looking at the guitar.

Try to practice with a metronome, A metronome is piece of equipment that plays ticks or beats. here is a sample of an metronome this ones an old school metronome.



Here is a digital one.



The digital is more expensive. Metronome is not necessarily needed to play the guitar but using one greatly improves you faster.

We all have a built-in metronome. If you cannot afford to buy a metronome try this method.

Try to practice this first without a guitar count 1 2 3 4 and everytime you say 4 tap your feet or nudge your head do it until you get comfortable with it. After a few minutes of practice with this pick up your guitar and try to play a song.

Most songs uses this time signature 4/4 its 1 2 3 4 for beat. Give it a try you'll see how you'll it greatly improve your timing with a song. Each time you say 1 give change into another chord. It's really simple. Even world famous guitarist uses this simple technique even at their concerts.

Perfect practice. If your practicing a new piece of song and having a hard time with it. Start by practicing some parts first very very slow then gradually increase your speed as you get more comfortable changing notes or chords. Playing fast but hardly having to hear clear notes is not good. It's better to play slow but clearly.

Keep on practicing whether your practicing to be a star some day or trying to catch a girl's attention or just for plain past time this guide will greatly help you i assure you.
