It\u2019s been proven time and time again to be almost as effective as actual practice, without the strain on the body, and without requiring an actual instrument.<\/p>\n<p>So what is visualization, and how can we use it for classical guitar practice? We\u2019ll get there. But first we need to talk about mental representations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"centerc\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l7OrEZaVjKE?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;autohide=1\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">What is a \u201cMental Representation\u201d?<\/h2>\n<p>A mental representation is all one\u2019s understanding, knowledge, and experience with something. It includes the relationships between the different \u201cparts\u201d, and notions of what is ultimately possible. Mental representations can include all the senses, and any number of emotions.<\/p>\n<h3>The Hometown Example<\/h3>\n<p>As an example, you may have a mental representation of your town. You probably understand how the streets work, but you may also know bus routes. You may know specific buildings within the city, and what happens in those buildings. And you also know any number of people and how they relate to other people.<\/p>\n<p>From this understanding and experience, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/four-elements-of-music\/\">you can imagine how these elements could be combined in new ways<\/a>. You could optimize situations based on your knowledge (such as: Business A would be a good fit for Building B, and would benefit from the help of Person C. Or \u201cOh my, those two never should have married!\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>The more elaborate and complex your mental representations become, the more masterful you become in that area. Chances are, you already have many areas or subjects of which you have extremely complex mental representations. We all do.<\/p>\n<p>To get better at classical guitar, <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/mental-practice\/\">we need to create a working mental representation<\/a>, as well as the physical skills required. One without the other is incomplete.<\/p>\n<h3>The Body Follows the Head: Seek Understanding<\/h3>\n<p>In <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2kkgZAc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u201cPeak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise\u201d<\/a>, Anders Ericsson\u00a0notes that the level of mastery someone has in any field is proportional to the complexity of his\/her mental representations.<\/p>\n<p>To bring this concept to learning classical guitar, it means that the path to mastery in paved in mental representations of<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Where a finger needs to go,<\/li>\n<li>How the hands work,<\/li>\n<li>What the music demands.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As well as our understanding of<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>terms,<\/li>\n<li>ideas,<\/li>\n<li>notations,<\/li>\n<li>concepts,<\/li>\n<li>and processes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Clarity Paves the Way to Competence<\/h3>\n<p>The longer we study and learn and explore, the clearer we become. With clarity comes competence.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Clarity is the fast-track to competence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In fact, clarity is the fast-track to competence. If we understand the goal and how it fits into the whole endeavor, we can practice and focus on the most direct path to that goal.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, if we just mindlessly do repetitions with no understanding of how it\u2019s useful, we waste time.<\/p>\n<h3>Guitar Progress is Born of Mental Representations<\/h3>\n<p>So to progress beyond beginning classical guitar, we must form useful mental representations, and the quicker the better (for motivation\u2019s sake).<\/p>\n<p>When we start to understand how the guitar works, how chords are \u201cshaped\u201d, how our hands move most effectively, and what music notations means, we come forward in leaps in bounds.<\/p>\n<p>Of course we still need physical practice and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/slow-practice-classical-guitar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">to develop habits of movement<\/a> so that we can actually play, but these are most effectively guided and trained by our mental representations.<\/p>\n<p>The way forward on guitar is through ever expanding mental representations. And mental representations are made up, in large part, by internal images.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Visualize for Classical Guitar Progress<\/h2>\n<p>One of the ways we create rich mental representations is through visualization.<\/p>\n<p>Visualization is when you \u201csee\u201d something in your mind\u2019s eye, creating an internal image. But visualization can also include all the senses, not just images.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>You&#8217;ll get better at visualizing with time and practice.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Some people find it easier to make mental images than others. You may be best at creating mental images, creating mental \u201csounds\u201d, or creating feelings.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone has a dominant sense that comes easier than the rest. If at first you can only make a mental image for a split second (just a flash of the image), that\u2019s perfectly fine and normal.<\/p>\n<p>With practice and time, you\u2019ll be able to form extremely complex visualizations and clearly \u201csee\u201d very detailed images.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Visualization on Classical Guitar<\/h2>\n<p>On guitar, you can visualize:<\/p>\n<h3>Fingers &#8211;<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>What <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/how-to-learn-classical-guitar-arpeggios-right-hand-technique\/\">position and form<\/a> should the fingers take, on each hand?<\/li>\n<li>What does a \u201cD\u201d chord look like?<\/li>\n<li>How should the fingers move?

This means that time spent visualizing <em>IS<\/em> time spent practicing.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The beauty of visualization is that it requires no guitar.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You can visualize anytime, anywhere, and for any length of time. You can use this to double or triple (or more) the rate at which you improve on guitar and learn music.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/chords\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">if you are learning your chords<\/a>, and are working on getting quicker at switching between a \u201cC\u201d chord and a \u201cD\u201d chord, you can visualize the \u201cC\u201d chord, then the \u201cD\u201d chord, then visualize your fingers moving between the two.<\/p>\n<p>The clearer and more detailed your visualizations, the more effective the practice will be. Imagine each finger and how it moves in space. Make it complete with any defining features of your own fingers (scars, nail length, shape, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>Even two or three repetitions, clearly visualized, repeated over the course of a day will add measurably to the rate at which you master whatever you\u2019re working on.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Decide Now and Plan for Success<\/h2>\n<p>Instead of just reading this article and taking it as information, I invite you to try another scenario.<\/p>\n<p>Take a moment right now to <strong>list 4\u20136 \u00a0times<\/strong> (or more) your typical day when you could spend 15\u201330 seconds visualizing whatever you\u2019re currently practicing on guitar.<\/p>\n<p>If you want extra bonus points, <strong>write them down<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Next, <strong>visualize yourself at those times<\/strong> stopping for a moment and visualizing your practice.
