A Fun And Effective Method Of Practicing
One of the most important steps in my progress as a guitar player has been having the opportunity to play along with others, in a live band situation. There’s nothing quite like the live dynamic. However, I don’t usually get more than one or two opportunities a week to play with the band – so what happens in the meantime?
Over the years I’ve come to rely on practicing with backing tracks to improve my chops on my own, without having to get the band together for another jam session!
Backing tracks have been my own secret practice weapon, and now I’m about to open up my arsenal and share them with you!
Ask yourself the following questions:
- Do you want to learn how to improvise on your guitar?
- Do you ever feel frustrated by not having anyone to practice with regularly?
- Have you wasted money on guitar lessons that taught you hardly anything?
- Are you sick of cheezy midi backing tracks that sound like the ice cream truck?
- Are you practicing, but with seemingly little progress in your playing?
- Have you ever struggled with ‘stage fright’ when about to play in front of others?
- Do you have trouble turning a scale into a solo?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, then you’re in precisely the right place, at the right time.
Any professional of any skill will tell you that if you want to be good, you need to practice over and over again… not just any kind of practice. It would help if you practiced as you would do it live. That means you can’t just throw a basketball around, you need to actually shoot for the hoop, from places you’ll be shooting during a game!
Well, the same goes for the guitar. Practicing licks is great, but if you truly want to master the licks, you need to learn how to fit them into a song, or a solo. Therefore, you need to practice them in a song. Otherwise, when the time comes to play, it will be difficult to line it up properly, and it may end up falling flat.
No one wants that to happen!
