[quote=Anonymous]^PS - let me tell you how to practice.

You do ONLY 2-3 measures a day.  Or if ambitious, you practice ONLY 1 line a day.  That is it.

You do not play the whole thing start to finish 100x every day.

You play the hard spots first.  You play chords before you play as written so your fingers know where the keys are.  You pay attention to fingering above all - once you have that - your fingers will naturally know the way to go after a few times.

That is it.  You do not sit and practice for 30 minutes and see how much you can get through a piece that sounds like shit because you don't know the notes and you hate how you sound and you think there is no hope in getting it right. It's too hard and who wants to do a chore to figure out this hard stuff every day?

So you just do a very little bit 100% right and that. Is. It. Teeny tiny parts.  You identify the signs to make it easier to remember the notes - if the all notes are running up or down, you don't memorize every note, you memorize the pattern of notes - is it a scale, is it a chord, etc.  You practice 20 min MAX a day.  None of this crap about sitting and practicing for 30-60 minutes.  You can actually do 15 minutes a day - this is about quality over quantity.  Get the song right and then once you fall in love with making music, you will start practicing longer times on your own.  [/quote]
