It\u2019s the fallen branch in the road and the banana peel on the wood floor.<\/p>\n<p>The very first thing to do in your practice is to <strong>slow down.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Speed creates the illusion of perfection.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Speed creates the illusion of perfection. Until you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/slow-practice-classical-guitar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">slow down<\/a>, it will be near impossible to move past the tricky spots. Solving problems demands awareness at a fine level, and speed obscures that.<\/p>\n<p>How slow should you go? Slow enough to stay aware of every little movement involved with every little note.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">But but but, you say, that makes the music not sound like the music anymore! True, but if you can\u2019t make it through the tricky spots your music doesn\u2019t sound good anyway. You\u2019ll get the music back in short order, promise. And better. \u00a0But for now, just hold your horses.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"dontplaythepiecepracticetheproblem\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t Play the Piece; Practice the Details<\/h2>\n<p>The big temptation as you learn a new piece is to want to play it. It\u2019s natural. We want to hear the music coming out of the guitar. That\u2019s why we learn the piece in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s a big difference between practice and playing. Playing is playing. Practice is working on specific problems, developing intentional skills, and challenging our abilities and comfort zones.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Practice is working on specific problems, developing intentional skills, and challenging our abilities and comfort zones.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 id=\"thesecretofplayingbeautifully\">The Secret of Playing Beautifully<\/h3>\n<p>And here\u2019s a secret: In reality, it\u2019s impossible to \u201cplay a piece of music\u201d. You can only play one note, then the next, then the next.<\/p>\n<p>The quality with which you move through all these \u201cbaby steps\u201d ultimately determines how the music comes across to someone <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/better-listening\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">listening<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So to play beautifully, you simply (though not necessarily easily) have to connect each note to the next beautifully.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>So to play beautifully, you simply connect each note to the next beautifully (easier said than done!).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Tricky spots, by definition, are places in the music that break down and don\u2019t connect well.<\/p>\n<p>The root cause of each tricky spot may be unique, and the solution will likely be unique as well.<\/p>\n<p>But often, we don\u2019t <em>really<\/em> know what\u2019s going on in the tricky spots. We play\u00a0our tune, and one part&#8217;s less smooth, or we have to slow down to get through it. \u00a0We may not know why at this point, only that something is not working.<\/p>\n<p>So we have to be on the lookout for &#8220;fuzzy spots&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"beonthelookoutforfuzzyspots\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Be on the Lookout for Fuzzy Spots<\/h2>\n<p>As you play your music, or practice a section, be on high alert for spots in the music when your attention drifts, you become confused, or you\u2019re not quite sure of the correct fingering to use.<\/p>\n<p>These fuzzy \u201choles\u201d in your knowledge of the piece are goldmines for problem-solving in your practice.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Confusion is your mind alerting you to an excellent practice opportunity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Until you get to the bottom of these areas and increase your awareness of the details of each move from one note to the next, and what each move entails, they will forever be rough and tenuous.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"memoryslips\">Memory Slips<\/h3>\n<p>These fuzzy spots are usually in the exact location of memory slips (when playing from memory). Luckily, if you have a memory slip, you can notice the spot in the tune and work on later using the steps below.<\/p>\n<p>And if you take any time off from the piece, these are the spots that will slip from your memory first and leave you lost and confused when you return.<\/p>\n<p>Ever had the experience of working hard on a piece, only to take a break and find it \u201cgone\u201d when you try to play it again? These fuzzy spots are the first to go.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"pinpointthepothole\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Pinpoint the Pothole<\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve identified a fuzzy spot, do this:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Stop.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Get out your sheet music<\/strong> (especially if you have it memorized).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Back up<\/strong> to before the spot.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Go slowly note by note<\/strong> with the music, on high alert for confusion. Don\u2019t assume you know the notes or the music. Double check <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">every single note<\/span>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Find the <em>exact<\/em> spot<\/strong> that breaks down.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>A tricky spot always comes down to one note <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/legato-guitar-synchronize-the-hands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">connecting<\/a> to another. It may seem as if the problem is a section, or a measure, or a phrase.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The root of every problem boils down to one note.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But if you look closer, the root of every problem boils down to just one note. \u00a0Hard to believe? \u00a0Maybe, but it&#8217;s true.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"isolatetheissue\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Isolate the Issue<\/h2>\n<p>Once you find the exact place that is breaking down (which will be one note connecting to another), you can put on your sleuthing hat and start to discover what&#8217;s happening or not happening to cause the problem.<\/p>\n<p>The issue could be one of a number of things, but often it will be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A wrong right hand (RH) fingering<\/li>\n<li>A wrong left hand (LH) fingering<\/li>\n<li>A wrong note<\/li>\n<li>The LH wrist not in the best position<\/li>\n<li>The LH thumb out of position<\/li>\n<li>An ungraceful shift<\/li>\n<li>Excess tension<\/li>\n<li>Others (start your own list of issues when you find them!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you identify the tricky spot and identify what\u2019s going wrong, all there is to do is fix it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Good news:<\/strong>\u00a0Sometimes, (and you can&#8217;t count on this, but it&#8217;s nice when it happens) simply identifying exactly what&#8217;s needed and exactly what you&#8217;re doing wrong can be enough to solve the problem. Typically, you&#8217;ll have to practice a little as well to smooth out the wrinkles, but sometimes you get a freebie, just by getting down to specifics!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"practiceforresults\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Practice for Results<\/h2>\n<p>At this point, having identified the issue, the goal is immediate gratification.<\/p>\n<p>Once you know the exact notes and issues that are not coming together properly, practice with results in mind. Work in such a way that you can see immediate improvement.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>At this point, the goal is immediate gratification.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This practice takes focus and constant awareness. It takes creativity, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/curiosity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">curiosity<\/a> and a willingness to work in circuitous and perhaps counter-intuitive ways.<\/p>\n<p>It may still take some time to completely eradicate the trickiness, but by breaking the issue down to its smaller components, and practicing them separately, you can see immediate improvement on that single component. And that\u2019s progress!<\/p>\n<p>For example, to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/expressive-layers\/\"><strong>isolate the components<\/strong><\/a> of the issue, you could:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Play just the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/interpret-classic-guitar-music\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">melody<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Play just the bass.<\/li>\n<li>Play just the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/courses\/master-art-reading-rhythms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rhythm<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Play just the <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/how-to-learn-classical-guitar-arpeggios-right-hand-technique\/\">right hand<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Play just the left hand.<\/li>\n<li>Play all notes as quarter notes, no variation in rhythm.<\/li>\n<li>Omit any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/ornaments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ornaments<\/a> or grace-notes.<\/li>\n<li>Rehearse just the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/guitar-shifting-positions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">shift<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Play the left hand without <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/reduce-tension-improve-touch-buzzed-notes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pressing the strings<\/a> all the way (so you just hear a \u201cthud\u201d for each note.<\/li>\n<li>Play just the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/learn-guitar-chords\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">chords<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Play focusing on maintaining only the appropriate bodily tension.<\/li>\n<li>Practice the preparation of each note.<\/li>\n<li>Others (Be creative!

It\u2019s only by attacking from different angles that you make headway.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"expectmiracles\">Expect Miracles<\/h3>\n<p>After working on a few different components, the issue will often miraculously evaporate. It will seem inexplicable, but undeniable. It may not \u201cfeel\u201d productive in the moment, because it feels \u201ctoo easy\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>If you feel this way, and you&#8217;re practicing separate little components of the music, one at a time, you\u2019re on the right track.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Practicing the separate elements may feel too easy!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Likewise, if you are just repeating the section ad nauseum and hoping it will get better, you\u2019re on the wrong track.
