Masterclass ~ Session 1 Electric Guitar Practice Habits with Kris Schulz

Everybody Speaks Music

Hey, friends, welcome to the Everybody Speaks Music Masterclass! I'll be your host for the first part of this journey, which is a new series, where we'll be interviewing all of the top teachers in our ecosystem, talking about how they approach practice, what are their top takeaways for their students and the people that they've worked with over the years. You know, currently at our school, we have 28 teachers, and we focus on guitar, vocals, piano, drums, bass, violin banjo composition. And those are the main areas I want to focus this part of the show on. Today, we part one of a two part episode on guitar, I'm gonna kick things off by talking about electric guitar, playing with a pick all the types of things we can do as an electric guitar player. And I'm gonna break this episode up into eight different categories. And a way that we can approach our practice. Categories are going to be warmups routines, taking on new material, practicing your set, specialty techniques, knowledge, ear training, and finally, jamming freestyle. So let's jump right in. Everyone listening is at a different stage in their journey. But we all need to warm up. Just like any top athlete, no matter how good you are at the sport you play, you've got to do something to get your body prepared for the high level of activity or Bo to embark on. And this is no different for guitar players.
