Guitar Technique/Practice

[JereFuzz]

I’ve been playing more acoustic recently (classical) and after playing acoustic exclusively for long periods of time I notice my electric guitar playing improves significantly. I now go to acousticfirst for practice and electric 2nd to “translate” my ideas from the acoustic.

Drill: Use one finger to go up/down the neck in long/short intervals to improve long jumps - if you do this with each finger and regularly your muscle memory for hitting the right fret at the right time improves ...
