Guitar Guru Unveils Practice Warmup Effectiveness Secrets

CARY, Ill. - Feb. 3, 2020 - PRLog -- Guitar teacher and musician mentor, Tom Hess has revealed guitar practice warmup secrets designed to improve the effectiveness of practice and get better results for guitarists worldwide.

Hess's online resource discusses many tips for improving the quality of guitar practice warmups. He begins by discussing common, ineffective approaches:

"Bad warmup exercises only warm up your hands, but not your brain in order to prepare you to get better. Other bad warmups reinforce poor practice habits, leading to mindless practice or practicing things that are totally irrelevant to your musical goals."

Hess says:

"Effective warmups do the opposite of these things. No, it's not just about playing a few licks before you start practicing. It's about setting yourself up to get massive results using powerful warmups that warm up your mind and hands."

He goes on:

"One great way to warm up is to practice short fragments of exercises you intend to work on. For example, practicing just 3-5 notes of a guitar lick at fast speeds. Breaking down a lick like this allows you to practice without becoming too overwhelmed AND at fast speeds (due to the limited number of notes). After warming up like this, practice becomes much easier, therefore your potential for getting great results goes way up."

Hess discusses many other warm up concepts and explains the importance of how much time should be spent warming up during a practice session.
