Sing What You Play

How to Practice

1. 1Choose a simple scale or key.
2. 2Play a short 3-note phrase on the guitar.
3. 3Sing the exact same phrase using 'la', 'da', or note names.
4. 4Try the reverse: sing a random short phrase first, then try to find it on the guitar immediately.
5. 5The goal is to eliminate the 'delay' between musical thought and execution.
