This is when we know something is there, but we don\u2019t know what it is. For example, we know there is something called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/theory\">music theory<\/a>.\u201d But we may not have the knowledge required to understand it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another flavor of mystery lies in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/clean-guitar-polish-reverse-engineer\/\">solving problems<\/a>. In these mysteries, we bring our current know-how to an issue. We try different solutions to find the key to the puzzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, we get to combine and adapt our previous learning. We look for patterns and similarities to previous problems we\u2019ve solved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This second brand of mystery is the one we explore over time on guitar. As we\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/how-to-learn-classical-guitar-pieces\/\">learn new pieces<\/a>, we unlock their riddles and explore their hidden chambers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What happens when we challenge our understanding with real-world problems? We learn on a deeper level. Simple knowledge becomes real understanding, embodied and versatile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/curiosity\/\">curiosity<\/a>\u00a0and experimentation that drive the most effective practice. We make little hypotheses and test them in real-time. We use our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/better-listening\/\">ears<\/a>, eyes, and bodily sensations to gather the feedback we need. We\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/before-bed-review-nightly-guitar-routine\/\">assess and reassess<\/a>. We play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do we ever get to the end of this journey? Not likely. And that\u2019s one of the great advantages of musical study. As astronomer Carl Sagan wrote,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guitar practice is always rewarding and engaging, so long as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/questions\/\">we ask questions<\/a>\u00a0then seek the answers.
