Yeah...I hear you Rikki. I need to think more about "is it all worth it?" Do you get out of it even half of what you put into it? The answer is NO. I'm not going to win any popularity contests because I can play arpeggios at the speed of light (maybe even faster?)!
But, thanks for the reality check. I tend to get carried away. Your REALITY CHECK fixed that! I'm going to put my hand in a cast so I can't type the next time I decide to post my own "tutorial."
Hi Mark,
I think your ideas make sense as far as learning goes.
But is there much point in playing a lightning fast arpeggio ,unless you can actually use it in a song.
I’ve never quite known what to practice. Years agoI used to practice, Hanon , Cherny,
Scales , arpeggios , chords etc for at leas5 a couple of hours a day.
Anyway after 20 plus years decided to try again and start over, the online course I’m doing, Lisa just suggests, learn the chords , scales , arpeggios, for the song you’re learning . Works for me, I’m too old to spend my time practicing scales, I’d sooner learn a song. Haha
