Why you should skip boring exercises | Christopher Guitar teacher
These types of exercises are a part of the study schedule for most guitar teachers.
But I don't recommend practicing them, especially if you play guitar just as a hobby, and I'm gonna tell you why.
Do those exercises work and help you improve on the guitar? Yes, they do. However, they aren't the only thing that works; they can be extremely boring and non-musical.
As you play guitar as a hobby, you probably don't have too much time to spend on your studies. Practicing something boring and non-musical can be really frustrating.
After hours of practice over many days, all you'll be able to play is just an exercise. If you wanna play a song, you're gonna need to practice that specific song. The exercise won't make you play the song instantly; it's not that efficient.
So, instead of practicing exercises, practice songs right from the start.
Your practice session will be much more enjoyable, musical, and efficient.
