How’s it going guys. My name is John McClennan
and I’m here with guitarcontrol.com. I want to
share with you a quick tip and this is a personal
philosophy for me that has worked great with my
guitar playing.
The idea is this, never practice anything that
you would not play on a gig. So this is sort of
a real-world way of thinking and one of the things
I might see a lot is people playing exercises.
There’s nothing wrong with this, but for me, I
really want to just work on the music and the
things that I’m going to play live because I can
always keep refining those.
If you’re doing exercises, just these lame-sounding
things like hammer-ons and pull-offs or whatever
that are just like sort of monotonous, you can get
the same thing if you work on a tune that has
hammer-ons and pull-offs in it.
I always try and find a song that deals with that
sort of technique that I want to focus on. And then
again, I’m never bored. I never want to sound lame
on the instrument.
So that’s my tip for you today and be sure to click
