OK, I just bought a guitar chair - I think I have fallen hook, line, and sinker for the Principles. What am I talking about? Well the “The Principles of Correct Practice for Guitar“. Now I will admit… this is some pretty intense stuff, and it is definitely not for everyone.

Basically, ” Guitar Principles” is a course that teaches you how to practice guitar.

Now read that again… it isn’t about learning guitar, it is about practicing guitar. Of course, if you figure out how to practice effectively, and you follow through and do the practice… well then you will be learning how to play guitar. But this is a fundamentally different type of approach, and I have to warn you - it is pretty rigorous.

I bought the book first, and I was skeptical. But sometimes I am a glutton for punishment… so I decided to get the DVD. And did I tell that guitar principles was rigorous? I am 35 minutes into the first of the two DVDs, and I have basically learned how to hold the guitar properly and use my right hand to touch the strings. In fact, I was probably 30 minutes into the DVD before I actually made a sound with the guitar.

This is serious practicing, for the serious guitar student. Actually, I don’t know how serious of a student I am… but I am definitely hungry to learn. So far I have just scratched the surface with this guitar principles technique… and this blog post barely scratches the surface of what I have done so far. In fact, I haven’t even told you about my guitar chair and guitar mirror that I bought. Hopefully, I will find time to tell you more…
