Members zappolehgan Posted December 13, 2007 Members Posted December 13, 2007 Are there any good exercises to release tension especially when playing fast things? What are some techniques you all use to release or decrease tension?

Members aloha Posted December 14, 2007 Members Posted December 14, 2007 This is a great point. Practice needs to be conscious with aspect to muscle control. The secret to muscle control is attention. Attention needs to be brought to speed. Using the metronome to measure speed does wonders for delivering us from our own unconscious bad habits. Have a great weekend.
Members Jarardo Posted December 15, 2007 Members Posted December 15, 2007 The link above links you to an article by Jamey Andreas, here's her websitewww.guitarprinciples.comI bought the book years ago, might be a new edition by now. It's basically about how to practice/play, without tension. If you don't want to buy the book, you can still look around at the forums and get some good advice.The whole idea of it has completely changed some aspects of practicing and playing for me.
