Description

This week’s episode is all about the “10x Method”. Today, we are looking at a framework that ties together all the different ideas I teach into one solid plan you can use.   
 
Focused practice is key to improving your playing. The 10x Method is a structured, simple plan that summarises all the key elements that will help you improve on your guitar-playing journey. It will also help you solidify things you already know and remember more.

If you are familiar with my teaching methods, you might recognise some of the elements that make up the 10x Method, such as the Five Times Rule, the importance of slowing down, etc.
 
In today’s podcast episode, I’m taking you through the 10x Method, looking at breaking things down into smaller chunks and learning a smaller part, the importance of visualisation, slowing down the tempo, checking your posture, and playing your small chunk 10 times in a row, without errors.
 
I’m sharing this method with you, along with some examples of how to apply it, so you can start applying it to your playing right away.
 
This episode will help you make your practice time much more effective. Using the 10x method will make your playing sound smoother. It will solidify the different parts of your practice into one, and you will see instant progress in your playing.
 
Don’t forget, you can get more tips, advice, and a powerful new free eBook on the 13 Ways to Escape the Acoustic Asylum from me, Dan Thorpe, by joining the email list here – https://acousticasylum.com/
