practice

This may sound a littele crazy but who when they play just kinda like stands there no movement; starting at the fretboared????

I read this article about its not good to do that so now i like move around (alot like Flea) and feel the music go through me (playing aeroplane solo):).

Is this a good thing to practice? getting used to not looking at fretbored and its hailing now lol:)

ok i looked back at this thread and decided its kinda pointless sorry about that :(

lol not really bro.. auctually u make a point... go bak and look at people like Tony Iommi... see him on stage and u think.. is that guy asleep lol.. but he has his reasons.. alot probably being his fingers.. and paying a lot of attention to that.. but he never really moved much as in excitement that I have seen.. now compare that to Zakk Wylde or Van Halen lol. Its all in ur style.. if u feel it.. and really get into it and can play with out looking then go for it if thats how u feel when u play.. if not.. don't force it.. it really won't be ur style... just go with how u feel is what I am basicly sayin

flea looks at his fret board as much as he moves.. there is no right or wrong way .. just do what makes you happy at the moment

its about half and half... i dont care who you are everyone has to look at the board every now and then so they dont forget where they are at

I only look at the fretboard when I practice a new song. If I can play the song without looking, I just close my eyes and nod to the beat while I play.

I try not to look but if it's something exceptionally hard, even if I've mastered it, or if I start t get a little uncomfortabl I'll look down on my fingers just to let myself know where I'm at.

i dont move a lot. i hardly ever even stand up. i ususally just sit down. i'm not really cordinated to move my feet and hands at the same time with out a major accident or sucking really bad. i guess i'll have to work on that



i ALWAYS look at my fretboard unless someone is talking to me. it's just a habbit i dont always need to

dont think too much on it, some songs that i get into i dont even think about, but others i have to stare at my fretboard or the guitarist or the dummer, dont think about it and your style will come without u knowing it
