Advice for learning to accept the organic nature of your playing and how to pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses. In this lesson I talk about some ways to practice making your solos come to life with vibrato, hammer-ons, pull-offs, sliding, bending etc - things that remind your listener that you are NOT a note-seeking robot and in fact a genuine human with emotions and feelings.

2023-08-25 14:06:07 +0000 UTCTo practice louder / quieter, I will sometimes play a single scale up and down and see how many times I can play through it before I can't play any quieter, and then do it again. I will also take basic etudes and do the same thing. It really makes you focus on how many "levels" of intensity you can bring. At first, I would only be able to play a one side of the scale because I would drop the volume too quickly, but over time I got much better at it.
