Guitar Practice 5 Tools You Need When You Practice Guitar

Guitar practice time? Here are 5 tools which you'll need to help you get the most from your session and see great results every time you practice your guitar. Just deciding to 'practice guitar' won't get you where you want to be unless you're doing it the right way! The 5 guitar practice tools I share in this video will help you stay on track, remember what you've learned, develop a good practice routine , manage your practice time more efficiently and ultimately make you a better guitar player!

Having these 5 practice tools in your practice room will help you get off to a flying start with your practice session, so keep them close by. Let's look at them one by one:

1) Timer to help you break up your session and cover all the areas you want to practice. A small digital egg timer is perfect, or you can use the stopwatch on your phone

2) Blank tab paper to keep a record of any cool ideas you discover. We can learn a lot from ourselves when we do our guitar practice...so note down what you find out so you don't lose it!

Grab your FREE blank tab book download here (you don't even need to submit an email address!). Print it off and you're sorted!

3) Metronome. Great for building speed, keeping a consistent rhythm and staying focused on an exercise. Wind up or digital great...or online! Just make sure it's loud enough.

4) Video camera in your phone. Record yourself to listen back for feedback and to document the progress over your weeks and months of guitar practice sessions. Great practice tool!

5) Backing tracks and drum loops. Unless you have a band on standby for every time you feel like jamming (I'm guessing you haven't) backing tracks and drum loops are amazing for putting what you are practicing into a more real-life situation in the practice room.

Hope these guitar practice tips help you out. Leave a comment below the video if you have any cool practice tips or practice tips you want to share. See you next time! James
