Why Guitar Technique Matters More Than Anything Else: Logical Arguments For Studying Good Technique
Added 2017-11-29 06:25:14 +0000 UTCWhile musing about trying to think of topics for next weeks video, I ended up writing this philosophical essay on why practicing guitar technique should be your top priority. See attached for a PDF of the essay. I'm pretty sure that reading it will convince you that I'm not crazy.
Thesis: Good technique is the most important aspect of study and practice for guitarists. By “good technique” I mean methods aimed towards executing certain goals and tasks on your instrument. I also argue that practicing your technique is the most important thing you can spend your time on in your practice if you want to have free expression on the instrument.
