The EarPosted by jeremylaursen in Untagged |

Hey everybody. I wanted to make a general note to build upon the instruction on the site. SAMI has so much to offer. We have core lessons and music by different artists and tons of different techniques. It is easy to go through all of this stuff but none of it will ever work if you don't use your ear. The reason that there is so much great music in the world today is because of our ears. Musicians create music for the ears. Fans listen to music with the ears. Through the ears you can touch something in you that makes music so important.
It is very important when you are learning to not only pay attention to what fret you are on or what finger you are using, butlalso to know what it sounds like. So, when learning scales, chords, songs, etc..., focus on where it is, how it is played, and what it sounds like.
Location -> Technique -> The Ear -> Bliss
Learn how to zone out to your own playing. That is what being a musician is all about. Whether you know 2 chords or 50, strum some chords and really feel them. Listen to them. The Location and the Technique is really not important. It is what it sounds like and how strong you can feel about the sound that is important.
