I’m with Mac on this one.

I record my parts with BiaB parts then go back and listen. If I made a mistake I practice that measure(s) over until I get it then go back and record again.

I tell my students that when playing your lesson for me if you make a mistake keep going. If you make a mistake and stop that’s two mistakes and if you make a mistake, stop, then go back that is three mistakes.

I also tell them to start practicing new material slow, then speed up. But in both cases you must keep a steady beat. Also repeat those measure(s) you have problems with then play the lesson from the top. This is how I still practice today.

IMHO you will play like you practice so if stopping becomes a habit you will continue to do it. Also if you can’t keep a steady beat you’re not a musician IMHO.

Just my thoughts and methods.


Doc-take it easy John this is just a sharp scalpel. It will not cut deep so don't worry.
Me-I'm not John
Doc-I know, I am!
