Heart, soul and expression, ears that listen, and a heart full of trust are some of the most important things in playing music. There is also the more abstract technical side of playing an instrument, both mentally and physically. The video below is an example of technical practice. You know, “technique”! Practice playing the notes one after the other in a steady succession, completely disregarding the rhythm of the actual song. lt may not sound as musical, but it will help your fingers and mind understand the notes on a different level.
