Guitar Tips from Another Blogger
Over the years I’ve studied quite a number of styles and have always been open to learning and also sharing information. This morning when I checked my sites for visitors, comments and any other overnight changes, I noticed that one of the other great guitar bloggers had left a comment regarding additional tips for guitar players. Instead of hiding them in my comments, I have decided to post them here as a separate article.
Mark Antony, has a guitar blog, he specialises in classical guitar (in truth a blog is just a web site that enables you to quickly ad content without having to frig around) . Mark and I have been discussing the idea of him writing an article or so some time for my sites. As one great guitarist said to me when I was about 18, there comes a time when every guitarist falls in love with the classical guitar.
SOME SIMPLE GUITAR TIPS FROM MARK ANTONY
- Think about the best time to take a break in your playing. Often, just as I’ve been about to take a break different people will turn up (if restaurant) so it’s a tendency to think “I can’t go off now as these new people have only just turned up”. BUT it’s hard to play for over an hour without taking a break.
- If you play at the same venues two nights running, try to play a different programme, or one with variations. Like when I told one diner “I will try to make any mistakes at different point in the music this time”, or “I’m playing the same notes as last night, but in different order”.
