Learn Guitar Faster by Hacking Sport Science Research

[@kevinwelton7437]

The Talent Code - Daniel Coyle was a game changer for my playing! Once i applied the skill development principles from the book in to my own practice sessions, i started noticing vast improvements in my playing, sometimes within the same session!! Definitely worth a read if you want to get quicker results 😊

Oooh, glad I landed here! Because I started very late in life, I decided to do this kind of thing when I decided to become an opera singer. The book "The Talent Code" and accompanying booklet "The Little Book of Talent - 52 Tips for Improving Skills" where the most helpful. I started playing a lot of guitar and piano in 2020, but since it was mostly for a therapy (though I didn't know I at the time), I didn't really improve much on either instrument. I'll take this as an impetus to start doing that; I really want to learn funk guitar and Travis picking 😊

good content this week steve. interesting you thought to compare sports with music but it makes sense, it's a lot of repetition and fine tuning in both. thanks!

[@SteveGilson]

Yes so many sports are all about speed and accuracy. There's a huge amount of money and work invested in understanding what makes an elite athlete tick. (Think of the money involved in professional sports) So it makes sense to take as much of that as we can.

Was struggling to learn boogie woogie piano with my left hand. Started at 20 on the rhythm track and then 40. Ok I could do 40 but it took every ounce of my mental agility to hit each key in sequence. I thought... well that's my limit... I simply can't think any faster. Then just out of curiosity I wondered how high does the speed go on this Casio keyboard? I'd never turned it all the way up. So I cranked it up to the top which was 66... and miraculously I could play at that speed! At faster speeds you do not have the luxury of thinking every note. You must just play the phrase and play the changes. So now I'm a believer in speed versus accuracy for learning. And of course this is contrary to virtually every teacher online. Funny that. And thank you for this video.

Thanks Russell, you're correct when I play things at speed I'm either thinking in terms of groups of notes and how I'm joining them together, or I'm thinking in terms of the general flow of the passage, there's no way I can think about individual notes any longer.
