I want to start a thread that would include all musicians. I want to see if we can get more then 50 ways to improve your playing. Everyone’s got little Indian tricks that they learned along the way that has helped them improve in their musicianship and playing. Please only give tips that you know will virtually guarantee success if incorporated into a routine exercise.

I’ll Start it off…

1.) Tune Up – Now matter how bad-ass you are at playing your instrument, people will think you suck if your instrument is out of tune. For stringed instruments - If the tuner says you’re dead on and you still are a little off, maybe a new set of strings are in order. If the strings look corroded and are dented up above the metal fret wire, they are way past over due for some nice and shiny new ones. Make sure your instrument is properly intonated.

Now… someone goes next…. :rolleyes:
