This should improve your practice regime

A highly experienced bass/guitar/Chapman Stick tutor friend of mine just sent me this. And it really chimes with my Flamenco guitar tutor's approach. It's fascinating and very, very useful. Neuro-biology.

RE: This should improve your practic... (in reply to silddx)

So one takeaway I get from this is play faster sooner to generate a good amount of errors of which to improve upon. I pretty much do this already, my slow practice does not last long after I get the general rhythm down. I start playing faster than slow practice out the errors after the fact. I thought this was backwards but after the video it seems like it makes sense to continue with this. Only after I internalize a falsetta (which I like to review before I go to bed so its fresh before my brain processes it) do I start focusing on specific things to improve upon, be it hand position, timing with the metronome ect.

Its funny as he said ultra slow movements should be done after, I agree with this. Though I will admit this is ass backwards from any guitar teacher I've ever met. This also goes against Grisha's method of slow practice for two years before speeding up, though that is just a rumour.

I like quality Chinese green tea before practice as it improves my focus aswell without the jitters. Good stuff though, thanks for the link I really appreciate this as it tells me I am on the right path here.

Visualization is a powerful tool, so I also know about this. My instructor has talked in great length about visualization though its more useful for fingerings and complex chords. Thankfully flamenco has many chords so it works well.

So wait, you saying microdosing on proven Chinese MDNA analog with ATP biome extracted herbal tea won’t improve my Picado, brah!? Rogan says it’s true too.
Lol

Agree with the redditers, it would be nice for him to disclose a little more background on the research he cites.
For example in this podcast, he talked about the rats in a tube thing. I think the point he made was that the veterans do better. But had me wondering how much psychology plays into previously winning and loosing, and the whole mental game. Didn’t feel like looking it up though!

I liked that the reddit thread had both for and against, and both were interesting.

I like to think I'm sceptical but not cynical; and open-minded, but not so open my brain falls out.

Yup. I didn't know about this but, having looked through some of the transcript yesterday, I saw potential problems with over-slimplificaiton and unjustified extrapolation of some simple results (dopamine reward) to much more complex subjects and domains.

I wanted to comment on his statements, but this takes time; checking his referenced studies, analysis, building arguments. Also it irritates me deeply to have to sit through a podcast as I read much faster than real-time speech, not to mention can visually peruse for key points by simply scrolling though written word.

Glad you found the reddit thread; maybe now I won't bother. It is not so much about his credentials, but about the way he constructs his arguments; it is too sloppy, therefore clearly driven by a different priority than scientific rigour and quality. I don't care of he is a Stanford professor or a lecturer at a community college.
