We're talking about practice
The IG Blog has a good post on practicing the guitar. It contains a link to an NPR interview with Glenn Kurtz who just wrote the book Practicing: A Musician’s Return to Music. In addition to the interview there also excerpts from the book with my favorite being:
“Alone in the practice room, I hold my instrument silently. Every day it is the same task, yet something new. I delve down, seeking what hides waiting in the notes, what lies dormant in myself that music brings to life. I close my eyes and listen for the unheard melody in what I’ve played a hundred times before, the unsuspected openings.”
Check out the post and be sure to read the comments as well. There is some good conversation going on over there. If you're looking for some specific drills to use while you practice, take a look at our set of guitar technique video lessons.
