Practising Course

This course will help you become a better guitar player 🙂
You’ll learn why, what, what and when to practice, together with accelerated learning techniques and bonus material.
The effectiveness and efficiency of your practice directly affects your progress and enjoyment of guitar – let’s get into it!

Unit 1 – The Why

Why do we need to practise? Although this might not be the first question you think of (“what” or “how” are more common), it’s essential to understand “why” – so that you develop the self-discipline and motivation needed to enjoy your guitar practice and make the most of your guitar playing 🙂

Unit 2 – What and When

What to practise? This is one of the most common questions people ask – in this module we’ll dig below the surface to answer it. In doing so, we’ll explore the importance of practice scheduling. All the slide show notes are included, so you can print out reminders from them if you wish. In addition, there’s a bonus practice schedule checklist for you to download and use.

What does practising actually look like? In this module we’ll look at practising tools, your practice room and healthy practice. In addition, there’s a bonus video on specific stretches to do before practising, which can help to prevent injury.
