Guitars

I can’t believe how long it took me to learn this trick. That is the problem of being primarily self-taught. Check this out:

1 Position Chord Tour

Left Hand Stretch

Use all of your fingers, and hold them down!

I should have been practicing with a Metronome the whole time. I feel like most of 20+ years of playing has been wasted! Okay, that is a bit much, but I certainly did not get the most out of all those hours of practice.

This has been my #1 purchase for improving my playing. I highly recommend getting one. If you want to use a phone app, or computer, or drum machine, or play along to the tracks, that is fine, but it will be very beneficial to have something.

I like this one because it is basic, plenty loud, and even has an output jack for headphones or line-in.
