Day 5 - Streamline Your Reading and Technique
Streamline both your reading and technical efficiency using this one method:
Look for notes that are either close or held down.
While it sounds simple, doing this in a meticulous way can save you lots of time and brainpower!
It's also something you can always do when sight reading- a mode of seeing music that you want to try and inhabit at all times when reading.
Repeating notes are like landmarks that we can keep track of.
Landmarks are super important - it's how we navigate when we're walking or driving. Birds do it too, using the position of the sun and landmarks like buildings to navigate.
On the guitar, reference notes will help make your reading and technique efficient.
There are two types to think about:
1) Pivot notes (green) are notes you can hold down for an extended period.
2) Close notes (red) are notes that are in close range to each other.
Task:
Take 15 minutes to think about reference notes and mark them in your score.
Task: Use one color for pivot notes and another color for close notes.
