How's everyone feeling this Monday? Muhahaha

More importantly, how do you feel about your instrument? I'm gonna be honest with you, sometimes I hate my instrument. Everything I play sounds like sh!t and I'm ready to start a bonfire with my guitars

Other times the licks are flowing from my fingers and I can't get enough axe grinding!  Attached below is a short sweep picking lick to score a quick win. Something short and fun to get inspired

Establishing a good relationship with our instrument all comes down to MINDSET

1. Break It Down

If you’re overwhelmed or frustrated, try breaking down a piece into small chunks

2. The P WORD

Have PATIENCE and be consistent with your practice routine. Overtime results will come if you keep at it

3. Celebrate

Remember to celebrate your musical wins. Reward yourself with a fun activity after playing and you’ll begin to crave practicing!


🛑 Attached below is a killer sweep picking lick to rekindle the passion for your instrument. Go deeper with my music theory PDF. Aim to complete 1 page during a 20 minute session

I’m so sick of this…

It probably sounds a little odd to non-musicians to hear us use a word like “relationship” to describe what we have with our instruments. But it’s truly the best word. I’ve loved mine. I’ve hated mine. When I can play a piece perfectly from end to end, I’ve felt like we have a great partnership. When my playing is abysmal, I’ve even felt like I let my harp down somehow. I once had a teacher explain to me that you can only play a piece as fast as the slowest part. At the time, this really irked me. “I’m getting 74/76 measures even faster than the prescribed tempo”, I said. “It’s just these TWO that I can’t seem to get up to speed”. She gave me a knowing grin and said “well, work on just those two for this week, I guess. That should be quicker practice than doing all 76 every time.” It didn’t occur to me in the moment, but what she was telling me was to be more mindful of how I practice. Your advice of breaking the difficult passages sounds obvious, but I don’t know that many people who actually do it. It can feel like a real slog to just play a few measures over and over again. This is where that patience comes in. But before you know it, that 74/76 becomes 76/76. And I can’t think of anything more worthy of celebration than getting something at 100%.
