Repetition Into Muscle Memory

in blog •  7 years ago 

On August 22, 2017 or about two weeks ago; I started learning how to play the guitar. It's a school elective so it's 5 days week until the end of December. At the moment I can play 3 chords: E minor, G, and the A minor. At first, it felt as if my fingers were at war since I've never used a guitar or any string instrument before. But as time went on, as I played the chords about a hundred times... When my teacher would say, "play A Minor", my fingers just started falling into place as if they were programmed to do so. At the end of the last class my teacher stopped our playing time to recognize this. He told us to notice how on the first day we had problems with playing E minor and now it's nothing for us.

This is the first song we'll be learning in class.

What instrument, sport, or hobby have you done that has made you better through just pure repetition?
