Train Your Hands to Play Guitar Effortlessly

If you're like most guitar players, you don't realize the importance of using your hands and body correctly to play guitar.

The biggest culprit that prevents you developing an good technique is TENSION! Most people play with far too much tension and use the grip of death. They push and grip too hard when playing chords and lead.

You really need to develop a light, relaxed touch in order to develop your technique to its full potential.

Here's a video I made that explains this in more detail.

How Your Nervous System Helps You Play Guitar

Your nervous system is like a computer program. You actually program new nerve endings in your brain when you learn new physical skills.

Now, the important thing to realize about this is... that if you program your brain and nervous system with bad playing habits, you'll play with those bad habits and mistakes 'automatically' without realizing it.

In other words, when you program your subconsious brain with garbage, you get garbage out the other end.

So take it real slow, easy, accurate, as relaxed as you can with as light a touch on the fretboard as you can. This is the way to program YOUR subconscious brain to play perfectly and effortlessly on auto-pilot.
