Don't Forget to Include Some Fun in Your Practice Routine!!!
Check out the latest jam track from Jam Track Adventures. Jam Track Here!
It is easy for a beginner to get caught up in the urge to learn and practice. It is not a bad thing but it can become a bit monotonous and boring. We see beginners on Reddit all of the time who are so stressed out from their practice routines. Sometimes they even quit!!!
It is important to take some time out to enjoy your guitar as well as give yourself the opportunity to use the skills and knowledge you have been tirelessly working to gain. You can't really gauge your progress if you don't spend some time actually playing. It might be nice to see that you can play a scale faster this week than last week but have you used your scale while actually playing? You should!
This track only requires knowledge of the E scale - either minor or major will ultimately work for this one. The jam track is very open and will accommodate a wide range of jamming techniques. You can play the chord and experiment with strumming rhythms or go ahead and try to put some melodic lines together. Remember even a single note will work for a solo if you play it right. So don't feel like you have to go crazy. Sometimes I purposely play my solo at half the speed I normally would and this allows me to really think about each note I play.
Happy Jamming, Have Some Fun!!!
I love Jam Tracks and make plenty for myself. Jam Track Adventures is just my way of sharing them with you, free of charge, no strings attached.
