Music does not come from your fingers, rather it comes from your mental faculties and goes through your fingers. The first REAL musical knowledge and the same kind of training that it took for you to learn to walk must be imparted and integrated into those faculties before true musical cohesion and comprehension can happen.
Picking up your guitar and making sounds, monkey see monkey do copying, and "acting out" or emoting while making sounds on the guitar will not help you to master this skill of the instrument very much. What propels you into greatness is to start with you, your faculties, and then to mentally train those faculties to understand the "physics" of music.
TIME and it's illusions is what turns a musician into a magician. There is a musical time speed barrier in which you play so fast that it becomes slow again. In any case, whether you are playing simplistic beginner music or advanced music, in order to make real magic on guitar you must be thinking in a mindset that includes at least four times as many notes as are being played. In other words EVERYONE has to play very fast if they want to play properly for real. For someone who has mastered this skill, when they play slow it feels like a scene from Superboy. As he runs fast the camera shows everything slowing down as the effect and similarly when someone who can easily fucntion at 170bpm slows the tempo to 90, there is the feeling that you have plenty of time to elaborate expression before the next chord change. This mastery of musical time manipulation is the only way to achieve perfect rhythmic articulation. Without the skill of musical time mastery you just don't have enough time to add the nuances and inflections which create clearly articulated phrasings.
Tablature and reading music has its place. That place is for historical and specific performance purposes. To play your music from tablature is like going through school looking over the shoulder of other student's notes of their projects and trying to make your way by copying them. What makes it worse is that in guitar music many of the original composers had little idea what they were playing at the time because maybe they were intoxicated, or they just got a lucky groove, and now tons of players are copying their interesting mistakes. lol The irony is that the music they are copying for the most part is easy to play from ear, once the ear is educated. Copying and memorizing is no way to live...
One of the biggest problems of copying and practicing on your own without supervision is that students continually repeat mistakes that they are not even aware of. In fact most students go to guitar lessons to "pick the brain" rather than seeking help in accomplishing mastery of the fundamentals. This behavior correlates loosely to o.c.d., add, and a myriad of mental syndromes. THE GREAT NEWS is that mastery of this skill of guitar playing actually helps you to keep your mental syndromes and idiosyncrasies in check because in order to have a fully transcendent orgasmic breakthrough guitar experience that is objectively and verifiably factually great, one must learn from the real bona fide maestros how to organize and control your faculties.
Fortunately I use technology to stimulate exponential improvement in students therefore saving decades of speculative drudgery and wasted practice.....and it really works quickly.....
