How to Become a Master at Communication
In this week’s communication tip, I talked about my son, a semi-professional musician, who teaches History by day and plays guitar in restaurants by night.
I can’t tell you how amazing he is – you would just think I am just biased. I could tell you for instance that:
he has mastered not only the 6-string but the Brazilian 7-string guitar
he knows hundreds of songs in English and Portuguese by heart – chords, and lyrics.
I marvel at how he moves up and down the neck without even looking at where he places his fingers,
he can transpose a song into any key
he can listen to a song once and play along the second time
and I could go on.
But you might say it sounds like I’m bragging about my son, and you might be right. If you watched this week’s video, however, you heard that I also was making a huge point. You see, despite how good of a musician he is and how well he has mastered the guitar, he practices his core basic scales very slowly every day, up and down for a minimum of 20 minutes!
