“That said– Seems like in here there are sometimes two different trains of thought on how to “learn” things- and even how to approach the Daily lessons.
(Very generally paraphrasing here)- I’ve seen posts that advise going slow with an emphasis on being VERY accurate; others feel more that the best way is to “give it your 10 minutes and move on”.”
Hey Mark ( @the-old-coach )’
I just noticed this comment of yours. I guess you made it later even though it’s higher in the list because you made a “reply”. One of the “challenges” of this new platform is that it can be hard to follow things. Maybe it’s on purpose to keep the “chatter” down and force us to “stick” to the topic of learning guitar. Anyway…
I find this an interesting observation. But I wonder, can’t we be on both sides at once? I don’t see these 2 things as being mutually exclusive (if one is true, the other can’t be true).
When we work on something for 10 minutes, or an hour and a half, or several weeks, or even a year or longer (so, that covers all sorts of goals, long term, short term and in between), can’t we go slow in order to train our fingers to be as accurate as possible? And then, move on to something else without actually mastering that thing? I never saw the 10 minute minimum as a limit. I can work longer. And I can work very slowly and accurately.
Anyway, those are my thoughts on this. As always, it’s nice to hear other people’s understanding as it helps to refine our own understanding.
