Don't practice mistakes! Learn first and then practice. And make sure to make time to practice new things. Remember, if you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly. Or, you can probably learn to play it quickly anyway.

"Practice makes perfect." is a myth. "Practice makes permanent." is the real truth. If you repeat the exercise incorrectly again and again, you'll remember the wrong thing permanently.

Not to mention, if you are fatigued or sore or anything hurts, just skip the practice. Do ear training or study a great recording or study some music theory. Taking some recovery days will do more for your long term improvement than practicing through pain because you feel you need to hit a number of hours.

As an improvisational guitarist, I really appreciate what you're saying. I tell my students, "Do NOT play it any faster than you can play it perfectly. Speed WILL happen. You can't do anything over and over and NOT get faster... without even trying to get faster." Also, when I work on a song, I work on knowing the Instrument more than the song. I try to play it as many times as I can without playing it the same way twice. To me, that's the fun of making music. Thanks for this video. It's made me think.

as an illustrator (that want to learn music as a hobby) i totally agree with this, in learning to draw for example, people tend to jump rightaway to "practices" without even acknowleging the fundamentals like basic shape, lines, proportion, technique, etc.
no matter what kind style of drawing you want make, this is the most important thing to learn before practicing.
Especially basic SHAPES, most beginner tend to underestimate the magic of understanding and learning basic shapes.
as a result they are confused why they improved so little over a long time, i've been there and most of us been there,
i feel like this video not only applies to music learning, but to most of other skills
great video, really inspired me to think how i'm gonna approach my learning of music

Thanks man, would be great to have it 10 years ago when dropping out

This rings very true. That being said, some people, including me, have a bit of the opposite problem. We get bored really fast so we always look for new things, new scales, new songs, new genres and never really focus on or consolidate a thing. It makes for versatility but doesn't help build-up clean technique or good habits. So in that case, the advice to focus more on practice and routines does make sense.

Thank you so much for this vid. Ive been struggling recently with getting the most use out of my practice sessions since I realized ive been practicing completely wrong and wasting time for 8 YEARS

When I switched to shifting at least 50% of my practice sessions to learning I easily overcame my plateau. Being inspired by new artists and songs and theory ideas definitely helps.

Yes, "practice" must be defined for each occasion. It's never just mindless repetition. Repetition, at times, but not mindless.

as a high school violist, this rings incredibly true. i've seen so many kids in my orchestra crash and burn because they start multi-hour long practice sessions on music that they don't fully know and then show up to rehearsal, confident in what they've done, only to realize that they were practicing the piece in the wrong way. soooo many music teachers, at least the ones i've had, have told kids to "practice" but not that they need to be familiar with their music first or even HOW to practice in the first place. i'm gonna try to get my music teacher to show this in class, thank you for making this video :•)

4'33 is definitely one of my favorites songs on guitar. It's great to build finger dexterity. Also a pretty chill tune.

God! I have been struggling and feeling bad about how my practice session is not productive. Felt like i was running in the same place but this legit showed me the way. Thank you so much for this video. It was the most needed one. 🥺❤

I'm a 49 year old woman learning how to play the cello. I'm coming up on my one year anniversary. This video explains exactly why I have made so much progress in a year. The part where you say that learning is a process not unlike solving a puzzle that unlocks a New Journey every day encapsulates my Philosophy on learning anything. I really appreciate you reiterating the idea of learning steps and applying them rather than practicing mistakes. I think as an adult learning a complicated instrument late in life we approach it with the idea of being perfect. I've always allowed myself to learn and process like a child so it's fun and it's an adventure. This video is really great and I have shared it with other adult cello Learners as well.

Excellent video. Most people don't know how to practice properly. They forget to learn and end up in loops!

This has absolutely worked for me on guitar, since I was self taught the first things I wanted to do were learn all the different techniques for picking, tapping, etc. It's been super helpful at allowing me to play more complicated pieces only 2 years into learning.

With drumming, "Slow is smooth and smooth is fast." I found this statement to be true.

Love this distinction so much, I have definitely been guilty of jumping right into things and wasting time only to have to go back and learn the fundamentals.

I've learnt so many piano pieces and songs overtime by watching tutorials but i never bothered to understand the theory behind all of it , although i can play the pieces that i love but only relying on my muscle memory, so if i don't replay it in a long time i end up forgetting it , now that i've noticed this i started to read and watch videos about theory , and to be honest it surely takes some time to fully understand the concepts , and i don't really know how to practice them later , but I'm taking my sweet time watching videos here and there , and trying to memorize new infos , and it is making a little difference
