This section of the site is devoted to articles that attempt to take a bird’s eye view of the process of learning guitar.

>> Practice, Rest and the Evolution of a Guitarist

This article talks about the importance of balancing your guitar practice with periods of rest from the instrument, both within your daily life and through your life as a musician. It also discusses two major phases many musicians go through in the process of learning an instrument.
