The guitar study day to day:
Hi everyone,
Today i want to talk to you about my study rutine to carry out this art. As you already know, the develop of playing can be through multiple hand movements,that's way you can compare musical practice with a sportsman, which should practice repetitive and constant movements in their training. That is why, I start my day with a technical warm-up, I make some stops gradually increasing the speed, the times can vary from day to day depending on the time I have. This generally lasts about 30 minutes.
After this, I begin to slowly read the work I am studying, listen to myself, sing the melodies and do brief analyzes with this. Then I focus on looking for some difficult passages in the work I am developing, I look for fingerings and I stop to work and polish the movements (this task is very similar to the sport idea I mentioned earlier). This takes another 30 to 40 minutes. Between these two activities I take breaks and have some coffee. In addition, between study hours I take walks with my dog Ringo and eat something.

After the walk I resume some technical exercises and work on memorization. While memorizing I do a structural and technical analysis, this is all a complex mental process. Generally, I don't work more than 4 hours a day due to the tremendous physical and psychological wear and tear. In addition, this work must be regular or daily, which also requires vitamin supplements and an excellent diet and constant physical development. However it is a discipline that makes me deeply happy and I enjoy it very much on a daily basis.
To end the day I spend time reading or listening to music, in general I have to worry a lot about my well-being, if not, it is not possible to perform well enough, I have been in this discipline for 10 years and it is something that I have learned deeply throughout these years. Body awareness is also important because if we do not listen to our bodies and hands we can get serious injuries that could put a sad end to our careers.

A good entry Inti. One of the biggest challenge to me is 'reading music'. I am surprised how much time a musician has to invest in managing this skill. Congrats!
