Bad Habits

Does anyone have any bad habits they're aware of when they play? Do they encumber your playing and what do you do to fix them?

 

I recently just developed an awful picking technique from way too much fast downpicking tied in with string jumping for some riffs. It's kinda stupid, but my pick hand starts to go with a stabbing motion rather than a picking one when jumping to different strings to quickly. Ugh.

Chill....sit still....drill :).

 

It does sound as though you need to relax more when you play.....there's stuff to be found on the net about how to make sure you're relaxed when you play.

 

Maybe you're trying to play too fast, too soon?

Most bad habits stem from UNawareness.

 

Becoming aware of them is the first step towards correcting them.

I once read a good article about tension in the shoulders and back while learning how to play guitar, and both the physical pain it causes and how it increases the difficulty of the learning process.

Glass of whiskey does it for me
