Guitar Playing Mysteries Solved By World Renowned Virtuoso Guitarist

Feb. 15, 2016 - PRLog -- Internationally acclaimed guitarist and guitar teacher Tom Hess has released an internet resource detailing his solutions to guitar playing questions (http://tomhess.net/CommonGuitarPlayingQuestionsAnswered) that the guitarist community has been seeking answers to for years.

In his internet resource, Hess talks at length about the 5 most common questions guitar players ask, and how these questions are actually very incomplete. Hess believes that the majority of guitar players in fact are wasting their time with these questions because the questions themselves are based on false assumptions.

Hess says, “One of the most frequently asked questions I get from students is “How can I build my guitar speed?” They are usually under the impression that building guitar speed simply means moving your hands faster, but this is very far from the truth. Truth is, guitar speed is merely a result of having mastered various guitar techniques. Until you build a solid foundation of excellent technique, it won’t matter... playing fast will be extremely hard for you.”

He goes onto to discuss more: “Many students I have also struggle with anxiety while performing (or thinking about performing) on stage. Fact is, stage fight can be overcome through practice just like any other skill you learn on guitar. Rather than being scared of playing in front of others, practice for eliminating mistakes in real-life situations that you will face in live playing scenarios such as playing with low lights, playing in different temperatures, playing only on specific strings (in case a string breaks) and so on. There are really countless ways to practice this, and when you make an effort to do it, your stage fright will start to fade.”

In Hess’s resource, he shows a video demonstration of how a student of his solved a difficult problem in his playing by asking the correct questions; thereby solving a common mystery that others in the guitar playing community never figure out.
