The difference between tempos
|
|
|
I have recently come across an intersting concept, that each tempo is a different animal and must be practiced seperately. According to this philosophy, there is a slightly different motion and sensation while practicing each tempo. This could be interpreted as categories such as real slow, slow, medium, fast, real fast, or as extreme as each bpm being slightly different. If you accept this, than it follows that fast tempos aren't necessary "hard," they are just different. And real slow tempos would then not necessarily be easier than a medium tempo. According to my source, the two elements of playing are the actual motion data, that is familiarity with the movement, and second familiarity with the actual tempo you are playing. If you neglect this sort of practice, your slow playing will be wobbly and inconsistent, and your fast playing clunky. The reasoning seemed logical to me, so I'm going to incorporate some exercises at each tempo to see if it makes a difference. Last night I did a bunch of work with the metronome and it seems to make sense. By the way, if anyone is interested, my source is NEY from the guitarprinciples forum.
