Guitar Method

In a city like Hong Kong, who can concentrate one’s work wholeheartedly? I mean, with so many temptation around us in our home and in our society. At home, we cannot keep our fingers in peace. We watch TV by keeping on pressing the remote control; we keep scrolling our mouse when go internet while blogging, MSN …..whatever. The same applies when we go outside: we keep use the “special pen” to “draw” on our mini game gadget “NDS”; keep tuning the right track of song in our IPOD with our finger; keep pointing on our PDA / Blackberry. What a world now we live in!

It’s not exaggerating to say that those fingers of such busy guys mentioned above, their loading are far more heavier than we guitarist did. Guitarists are with brains! So do they ? Right! To be more specific, we practice guitar with our brains used. We are not simply doing exercise. We are counting the beats, think of the chord progressions, think of the bassline, the tricks to be used, the sound of our effect. We simply put our physical action blend with our mind. It’s no easy task to achieve this. Despite this, guitarists are those who really really love guitar(s)!! They definitely won’t have only one guitar in their home. They have many!! When they have spare money, they would convince themselves to buy one more. Then next festival, convince themselves again ….. this cycle goes on and on and on ………

To illustrate we guitarists have brain is easy. We know when to stop, when to take a break!! Yeah, this is important! Since we all know one golden rule:

Practise one hour each day in a week is better than Practise seven hours a day in a week!!
