I play but never I gain put this rithym in a high speed...pfffff What can I do play more? some advice??pliiiiiisssss

[ABAKUA]

Do you have a metronome? Set it to a comfortable mid to slow pace and do not vary from it.
Practice clear open double strokes to start off with, then you could use double slaps or base tones.

Speed comes after MUCH practice of SLOW rudiment study and application.

Practice Practice Practice. It wont happen over night, but it will happen.

Patience, patience.... You have to keep it up...Remember some people are more naturals than others. What does that mean??? Some people will pick up things faster and some of us have to work with it.

Besides the physical limitations you have to be aware that there is a physicologial side to it. You have to identify what is limiting you and work over it.

Recognize where are you at and you will be able to progress. Like everything, when you try new things you will tend to hit a "stopping point" or "apparent peak" that sometimes you will be at it for awhile but..Don't give up yet. Try things in a different way...Add speed, go slower, sometimes is your technique might be off and little by little you will start going to another peak...and so forth and so forth.

At points where you are at is that some people give up and do not progress anymore. Those that keep up are the ones that succeed...That is the difference between good players and those that do not. (Don't forget that for some people picking up or doing certaing things is easier and for some is not... Don't get down on the fact that you might not be a natural one and recognize you have to work more at it that some people will...When the going gets tough, the tough gets going)

Keep it up...We all hit those "spots."

'Ello everyone!! Long time no c!!
Raymond, I think your definition of a "natural player" is outstanding. I always had that suspision myself, since I got all those advanced level videotapes and looked easy to me, played along as though I had always been playing those patterns, although I am suposedly a beginner. (It made me thing the tapes where no good.. but I don't think Sanabria or Gio would ever make a nasty tape).

BUT, this is the hardest case of all. When your hands follow, but not necesarily your mind. I play stuff that when I come down to realising what I have just played, I'm in shock. If I play something complicated and then start thinking what it is I'm playing while I'm playing it, I lose my tempo and beats. This is a classical example of how being a "natural player" can be both a gift and a course. And to me, I think, natural players need to practice even more than a normal given player, just to get themeselves in order.. because being able to play things without practice can be really tricky!..Plus there's a chance that now u can do it and later u don't!

SO yes, I do believe that the best advice given, EVER, to anyone is... PRACTICE and don't give up on the first difficulty that arises. Nothing is really easy to anyone, unless you practice your arse on it ...

Y el metronomo puede ser qualquier vaina que hace tic tac, todo eso del digitalismo, para mi, es una cagada - solo te cuesta mas.

And don't forget to practice more now that you've found a hard spot. It's the only way to over come it!


Cheers,
