Baby steps vs Giant Steps

All is good in da hood here.

Yesterday I shared a short article on 8 ways you can sound "smokin" on your axe.

Here's one more technique: Tapping.

Matias Rengel shares a hot lick of the day for you.

TAPPING LICK

With some of these advanced licks and patterns, a good thing that you can do if they are too advanced is just learn part of it.

Heck, just learn the first three notes if that's all you can play.

Baby steps!

Not to be confused with Giant Steps which is one of the greatest jazz standards ever, written by saxophone virtuoso John Coltrane.

So, should you be taking giant leaps and thinking big, or should you be taking baby steps and improving one step at a time?

My thought is that if there was a way to make a giant leap forward, wouldn't I have done it already?

And sometimes you do find a breakthrough.

Most of the time, its baby steps. Incremental improvements.

But if you practice consistently (at guitar or whatever else), the gains start adding up and eventually you ARE making those giant steps.

So stick with it compadre and keep on truckin!

This week i'll need your help on something big. More on that shortly.
