Save Countless Hours of Practice Time
As you improve your understanding of guitar theory you
will start to see the bigger picture. You will start to see
how things relate to one another. In other words you
will start to see patterns emerge. This means that you
don't have to learn things from scratch, you can simply
rearrange the building blocks you already know.
How to Learn Songs Really Fast
Let's say you are going to learn a new song. If the song
uses an E minor scale for the guitar solo and you
already know the scale fingerings, all you have to do is
learn the order that the notes are played.
The same holds true for chords. If you already know
the chords in the song, all you have to do is learn the
strumming pattern and then memorize the order of
the chords.
Won't this totally speed up the process of learning
songs?
The more theory you know, the easier it will be for you
to learn songs. You will be able to quickly determine the
chords in a song, what progressions are being used,
scale choice, etc. In addition to making the song easier
to remember, you will be able to transpose the song to
different keys if desired.
