23.01.2022 Quick tip for your metronome practice. Be Accurate It is extremely important while using a metronome to be as accurate as possible. Small mistakes at a slow tempo will become large mistakes at a fast tempo. ... To maintain accuracy you should never increase the speed until you can play a section perfectly at least 3 times in a row. You should be able to play at the current tempo relatively effortlessly before increasing the tempo.

21.01.2022 Q: What is your main aim when working with members at The Guitar Gym? A: "I would say that my main aim is to show people that learning guitar may not be what people first perceive it to be. I think that when we reframe what we initially perceive about learning guitar, we can approach it with a healthier attitude that sets us up to succeed. "We learn guitar as a language and I want to help you find what you want to say." - Michael, Guitar Coach at our Indooroopilly studio.

14.01.2022 In the market for a new guitar? Heres some advice. Buy a guitar that suits the style and sound of the music YOU want to play. For 99% of people, this is NOT a nylon-string guitar! And by the way, there is nothing stopping you from starting with an electric guitar. It is not a more advanced instrument that you must graduate to from an acoustic guitar as many people believe

13.01.2022 Our different tastes in music are what makes us unique! Remember that your preferences for listening and playing are the things that are going to give your overall sound some spice! Talk to your coach about the genres of music that you enjoy. From there they can help choose which skills youll need to know.

07.01.2022 Q: How old does my child need to be to start learning guitar? A: There isn’t a simple answer to this question. In general, at 6 years of age, or when starting primary school, most children get the full benefit of lessons. Due to the dexterity required to produce a tone on the guitar, children younger than this typically struggle with practical execution on the instrument. Children can begin to develop musical skills at a very young age (aural, vocal, rhythm) so we recommend an early childhood music program for young children.
