As with any skill, learning to play the electric guitar requires the discipline of good practice habits. Practice that is on a planned basis will achieve the results required. Haphazard practice is almost always a waste of valuable time.
This article assumes that as a beginner you have chosen a good tutor or have signed up for one of better online electric guitar courses.
For a beginner, learning to play the electric guitar (or any guitar) involves good practice habits. The two main elements are:-
1. Practice must be on a regular and consistent basis
2. It must be "good" practice ie focused on specific objectives.
In this day and age there are dozens of alternative "things to do and see" that pose as distractions to the budding guitarist. It is therefore vitally important that you make a definite decision to practice consistently on a regular basis.
Experts suggest a minimum of ½ hour per day on at least 5 days each week. If you wish to progress more quickly, the practice time would need to be increased. It is also far better spreading your practice over a period of days rather than concentrate it into one session of say 3 or 4 hours per week.
Good practice with a definite objective for each session is also important.
1. Make sure you are in the right frame of mind for each session
2. Try to maintain your concentration for the whole session
3. Have your practice session objective clearly established
4. Generally, it's good to start with a short "warm up" session
5. The main body of your practice session should be given over to perfect something from a previous session, or to commence a new piece. It is during these sessions that your guitar playing will improve the most.
6. Finally, to end your practice session play a piece, or pieces, that you are comfortable with. This will leave you with a "feel good" memory to carry you on to your next practice session.
There is the well known phrase that "practice makes perfect".
In the case of learning to play the electric guitar for beginners, it is absolutely true.
