How Slow Can You Go?

[@MH-il1lk]

As a musician, what separates you from the kids is not how fast you play but how slow you play. To get the best technique, practice slow. Then, playing fast will catch up.

[@NicleT]

You're totally correct. There's a very interesting rock subgenre called _Slowcore_ that dig in extremely slow and very atmospheric patterns. This is very hard to play. I'm presently working on a show with such material and still need to have a click for certain pieces.

And that's why we are told not to focus on speed.😀

My guitar teacher in college always said : "If you wanna know who's a great musician, listen to them play over a ballad "

[@pnojazz]

Getting gritty with it! 🔥

[@georgegunnell6319]

Great! A great recording of a super slow rendition of a song is a live version of I Love You More Than You’ll Ever Know by Donny Hathaway.

[@displeasingcovers2089]

What a classic, and great point

[@gerbenbuijze]

Wow, never really thought about it, but the control needed to play slow requires an immense amount of skill.

LOL…We tried something very similar once, years ago. I think everyone ended up napping.
