Okay so, I’m learning these songs, I’ve got the notes in front of me.
But when my fingers make movements there’s all these awkward pauses, even with lots of free practice.
So I’m wondering, when I play the final result, how do I get it not so blocky and choppy with pauses but one solid fluid piece in time?
Is it like this (the only way I see it:) You MUST use a metronome and play the piece in perfectly time, the entire time, and slowly build up, it’s like the ONLY way, you have to gradually increase the tempo, am I correct? So it would be like 50bpm -> 60bpm -> 70bpm -> 80bpm until you are at full fluid speed? Is that right? The most efficient practice method?
Bonus: Does this mean every bar I play of a new piece of music I should be using a metronome with? Do I learn the entire thing slow the first pass, then speed it up? Or painstaking tedious bar by bar ramp up BPM until master full speed, then move on the next bar?
