FOOD FOR THOUGHT

At the start of 2022 I decided to take up Brazilian jiu-jitsu. I just wasn’t getting injured enough by running, pilates and lifting! And I’ve mentioned before the many similarities between martial arts and learning an instrument. But I’ve just made another new connection that might help you on your guitar journey…

When you start digging into something, like I hope many of you do on guitar, it is exciting and overwhelming when you realise just how much there is to learn.

I’ve been really struggling with it in BJJ, it’s kind of like physical chess where you learn a move, and then all the different counters and then what to do for each one. The more you practise the more you start to see which type of moves you find the most fun and effective and they’ll be different for everyone.
