Thanks for adding the time stamps! Much appreciated :)

[@stuartarnold4495]

You are right about the practice and how to optimize the time. For me it’s the discipline part that lets me down. Thanks again for the wise words.

[@acousticguitarlessons]

You are welcome Stuart :) Yes, definitely requires some discipline. Are you referring to discipline to pick up the guitar to play/practice, or discipline to focus when you are actually practicing?

Very useful thank you. Have been watching your videos for two days now. Best wishes for 2023 🎸 🎊

[@acousticguitarlessons]

You are welcome Peter! Thanks for taking an interest in the channel. I hope you are finding the videos useful for your playing :)

Such a great lesson. I just stumbled upon this channel a few days ago. Looking forward to many more great lessons.

[@acousticguitarlessons]

Glad to have you hear Rodger :)

The substance of this video begins around 5 minutes, 40 seconds in.

[@acousticguitarlessons]

Sure, except I explain the difference between categories and items before then which is important too :)

This is brilliant, and applicable to learning beyond the guitar. I am an educator in higher ed and I plan on sharing this with colleagues. I need to put a name to it. Do you have a name in mind? If not, I'll call it Simon Candy's Bulletin Board Model. Each line into the 'board' is a pushpin, or a tack, selected from a supply of pins that have names. Maybe there is a better analogy. In any case, thanks for this great post, Simon, and the other help you have given me.

[@acousticguitarlessons]

You are very welcome David Howe! I love the name! :) I often think of a similar analogy where anything to be mastered requires you to work at it from several different angles, each angle is a nail. One nail won't hold anything in position too well, but several nails will etc if that makes sense?

[@dvaunhowe]

@@acousticguitarlessons yes, that idea adds even more value. Thanks!

[@dmyerstc55]

Another great lesson! I am going to try this. But working on a piece could be your development and use the focused learning in it should give you the improvement

[@acousticguitarlessons]

Hi Don. Yes, you can and should rotate your focus on various aspects of the piece you are working on. Just make the piece itself the central item :)
