    Many of today´s young guitarists look at guitar playing like a kind of sport. If you train long enough and know the right tricks, you can make it to the top. But what is there to gain? One thing is for shure: There will always be someone who plays slower than you, and someone that plays faster. If not today, then tomorrow.

    Half of the audience is female. Most of them don´t get turned on by someone who performs guitar -aerobic.

    Rather think of yourself as a singer than a guitar player. Treat each single note with love, and it will turn into a powerful tool. There are a million ways to play a single note. Play with that note. Feel the string and your fingers on it. Touch your guitar like a lady. Make her moan. Start to feel good.

    Nothing to prove. Forget about all you scales. Start to listen to this moment - it´s the only one that exists.

    Relax..... and suddenly you have something to say. Talk to your audience with your guitar. Adress each single note and you will feel the response immediately. Play sensually! Watch the girls. You can see it in their eyes..

    If you look in this direction, you will be able to develope your own, unique, personal tone. It takes time and more courage than to perform some speedlicks, but it´s worth it. And you will be miles ahead of the armada of Malmsteen and Satriani clones.

    A good way to learn how to make your guitar speak, is to play the vocal part of a song.

    Take i.e Aretha Franklin´s "I say a little prayer" (or any other love song) and play the vocal part on the guitar. Now, that you have no words, you have to add all those little nuances that gives each note a vocal-like quality.

    At first it may sound stupid, and you realize, how simple good melodies can be. Now it´s up to you, the artist, to fill them with meaning and expression. That´s when noise turns into music.

    shak Harrr!

    ^ i disagree completely .. you cant force yourself to love each note .. you cant force yourself to talk through guitar .. (it all should come naturally)
    and please dont look at the girls while playing guitar .. unless you know your way around the fretboard blindfolded and unless you are on viagra prescription ... and this perverse attitude towards guitar (touch your guitar like a lady .. feel her .. blah blah electric orgasmotrons yack a yack bump that cable jack .. phbbtt phbbtt) is not normal

    /end of pointless chatter

    OK
    So I get the feel of level of people here.
     
  7. I think what Alpha is trying to get at is that the Guitar has to become an extension of your own body. To play really well, every sound you make on it has to hit a nerve in your body.

    That i totally agree with.

    I compare it with kissing with your eyes closed.
    The experience is more sensational.

    Look at Santana playing guitar with his eyes closed when he has to emphasis emotion.

    As for girls - Well why not, if that is what motivates you?
     
  8. SG1

    SG1 "Brown Jesus"

    As i said Every have there own thinking about this matter .. This link and the Practice is not suitable for me .. maybe it is for some other person .. its simple. and Every person have there Own Levels not everyone is Equal. so by ignoring this particular practice ma level won't drop its not very hard to understand.
