This article is about how you can learn NLP Accelerated Learning Techniques by applying those techniques to learning to play guitar.
Learning to combine knowledge and skills in a real time environment is a real test for NLP masters. This makes playing a guitar a great context for learning your NLP and Accelerated Learning Skills.
Playing a guitar is all about putting your fingers in the right place at the right time without hesitation, pause for thought or break in the flow. This might seem easy but consider what happens to get your fingers in the right place. If you are reading music then you have to translate the dots and lines to finger positions. If you are improvising you have to listen to the rest of the band and using your knowledge and experience play the most appropriate notes in response.
Learning music is a perfect environment for NLP Techniques. Many people have preconceived notions about music. It is difficult, you need talent and reading music is complex. These preconceived ideas and beliefs are often not helpful.
Duncan Lorien’s ground breaking Understanding of Music Seminar is a text book example of the application of Accelerated Learning concepts. Duncan takes the time to increase your understanding of the basic components of music and how anyone can apply them. Deliberately he breaks down old unhelpful beliefs and builds up powerful new ones. Installing new beliefs whilst letting go of limiting ones give you added momentum in learning to play music.
Another area worth looking at is practice routines. This is something that musicians often don’t help themselves. Only PERFECT practice makes perfect so finding the right drills and routines is important. They should be enough to stretch and challenge without being so difficult that you can’t play without hesitation and stumbling.
Many guitarists when faced with a small section of music that is difficult will be to over play it whilst criticising themselves. This leads to problems when they can play it perfectly but have difficulty putting it back in to the rest of the music.
Celebrating the fact you have found a development area for your fingers and turning the whole thing in to a new set of finger exercises would be a true NLP Accelerated Learning approach. Playing the section at different speeds, in different keys and all over the fret board would develop flexibility and turned a problem in to a huge piece of muscle learning.
By designing exercises carefully you only need to practice ten minutes a say to get significant progress. Duncan Lorien’s Understanding of Music Seminar actually contains 100 ten minute lessons that dramatically improve your playing ability. A skilled trainer can show you haw to break down a complex skill into sections and develop Accelerated Learning exercises from it. A good NLP Practitioner Course will show you these techniques. Learning to play the guitar has the added benefit of teaching you how NLP Training and Accelerated Learning can be used for learning complex skills.
Investing in a good NLP Training would give you the best way of understanding how to develop new skills with accelerated learning techniques. Breaking limiting beliefs and installing new ones as well as developing good practice routines are just two of the ideas that can get you dramatically good results.
