Hello to all Hive musicians and artists. I want to Talk about an important issue! Playing and Practicing an instrument. which one do you do most of the time? do play more? or do practice more? both of them are important but you should know the differences to find the path to success.

After playing an instrument a while, you figure out your weaknesses and strengths. If you rely only on your strengths, you will never be a perfect Player. So you must know your weakness and do a lot of exercise about it. every exercise focus on a special technique. Doing exercises improve your brain responsibility and your physical muscles. you should find the best exercises for your weakness and you must know what you are really doing!

To become a professional musician you need to be able to analyze a piece of music. On the other hand, you should watch the world's great musicians playing your own instrument. You need to be able to analyze the techniques, the details, and how to execute the notes. It may be hard for you to believe that you can improve your playing just by focusing on the power of the mind and analyzing the playing of great musicians.

The most important thing that can make you a good player

What is the most important thing for being a successful player? If I want to say there is one important thing. I would say A Metronome. yes only a metronome can make you a good player. Practicing with a metronome is the most important thing. If you are not familiar with it and if you do not like the metronome I would say you'll never gonna be a good player. Metronome

How to do exercises with a metronome

Do you want to play fast? everyone does :D but Rome doesn't build in one day. Speed is not everything, playing Clear is more important than speed. There are a lot of players out there that playing fast but dirty. Accuracy is very very important, without accuracy speed is shit!

So how can we play accurately? The answer is metronome! Put your metronome as downtempo as you can, start practicing slowly. SLOW SLOW and SLOW. but accurate!
Now, after a while, slowly increase your speed (of course still with metronome), Speeding up as much as you still be accurate. And keep it up. Don't forget to analyze your playing and weaknesses every time. so you can fix them out.

Finally one day you will understand that you improve well and you are fast and accurate.
