New Lesson @ GGH:

The Secret of SpeedFinding the "Incredible Lightness"By Jamie Andreas
(www.guitarprinciples.com)

In my essay "Discover Your Discomfort", I urged you to become aware
of the sensations of discomfort you experience while practicing and
playing. The reason is very simple. Until you do, you will not be
able to be aware of the sensations (that is, your mental awareness
of the physical feelings in your body) a good player has, the
sensations that you must have to play well. I call this sensation,
or feeling in the body, "The Incredible Lightness". I call it this,
because once you experience it, and allow it to grow by Correct
Practicing, well, it's Incredible. This feeling of lightness is what
makes fast, accurate playing possible. Unfortunately, because of
ignorance of how to practice correctly, far too many players create
for themselves "The Incredible Tightness".
