Well, if it was on MONO, it would actually sound the same on both sides… This is definitely on STEREO, but one side is empty… ;-

I am a guitar teacher also. I say at least one hour of practice. Then one hour of freestyle. You can repeat this process as many times as you want. The brain can only digest so much new information so break it up. Freestyling opens up your ears to compositions based on scales and chords. Joe Satriani would practice technique for 1 hr in A.M. In P.M. he would jam with friends. But, Segovia practiced for many many hours a day so…
Too much practice can hurt hands so get correct position first.

Actually, if you tilt to the left, P must go off to the side. In the Shearer model (and this is just one model, remember). the ‘a’ finger is perpendicular to the string. This allows P to move in a straight line.

Despite different opinions, this video is useful to me.

I tried this way of positiong the guitar and my right foot is not stable because only the front part(fingers) is touching the ground.Anyone any idea of correcting this?

Though, as a steel stringed guitarist I’ve found while strumming harmonies/chords in rhythm guitar style, it’s much better to rest the body of the guitar on my right leg (under my strumming arm) because then my left hand is free to just rest there and hold down chord fingerings. When playing melodies/scales in finger picking I find, at least sometimes, it’s better to place the guitar in a classical posture. So, to be fair, I don’t think you should discount other methods of holding the guitar.

If you ask me, if someone really wants it that bad, then sitting there and building your calluses, coordination, strength, and agility while painstakingly yet with earnest enthusiasm practice, practice, and practice, sitting there for even 8 hours is not something you need to work hard at. You commit to mastering the craft from the start and just do it, and that’s the most important thing in my opinion. And then after the basics, yes, you start working more on perfecting technique and tone.

No what he means is “Hey be like me, I love playing the guitar so I practice everyday and now I’m good. You should try!”

I think a serious student needs to work very hard just to practice a half hour a day. Once this is accomplished, he can go to two, half hour sets. Over a period of a couple of years he can progress to three hours a day. Once you are up to three hours, the trick is to improve your practicing technique, not practice more hours.

does anyone else get the feeling he just posted that comment so he could say “I practice 5 hours a day”?

If you practice at least 30 minutes a day everyday using good instructions, then you should start making respectable progress in a couple of years. Of course, if you did it like me, you could do it 5 hours out of every day for a year and probably make progress a lot faster than otherwise. Though, that might tire you out to guitar. But like Zombie said, it really all depends on your love and commitment to playing. You will not be a pro overnight, so it takes lots of patience and dedication.
