It is essential that the student understand the importance of discipline and patience while studying
music. Using discipline you must push yourself to practice each exercise over and over and over again
in order to train the fingers and the mind to work together. And it will take patience to endure the
inevitable moments of discouragement that occur while learning the fundamentals of a new skill. It
is recommended that students begin with a practice of at least 30 minutes a day and then lengthen
that practice time as soon as they gain more strength and endurance. Each one of these exercises
should be repeated again and again. In fact, often times musicians can achieve a meditative state of
serenity while engaged in repetitive practice. If you focus on the long term goal of learning to play the
guitar it will then be easy to overcome the brief periods of monotony inherent in the beginning studies.
A time keeping device that may help in your practice is a metronome or a drum machine. If you
practice along with a metronome you will be playing a very steady tempo. When you practice to a
metronome, be sure to set the tempo to a comfortable speed. Do not try to play so fast that you
become sloppy in your technique. Speed is of secondary importance at this stage, the most important
element of guitar technique in the beginning is accuracy. Speed will come with repetition and the
discipline of regular practice. Write down the tempo that feels comfortable as you practice an exercise,
and increase the tempo gradually as you gain more skill. By writing down the tempo marking you will
be able to see your progress documented on the page.
