A short YouTube #shorts by Lauren Bateman arguing that practice produces progress, not perfection—particularly when learning guitar. She emphasizes that while one should avoid practicing incorrectly, mastery and perfection take time and steady practice.
People talk about the concept of practice makes perfect all the time, and I am a firm believer that practice makes progress. So I think there is a big misnomer in the fact that everyone wants their practice to be perfect. Okay. And of course, we don't want to practice things incorrectly. But I think it was. Les Brown was the first person I heard say that, and it made so much sense to me. And I don't know if he was quoting someone else, but again, it was practice makes pract progress, not practice makes perfect, because it can take a very long time, especially on the guitar, to get things perfect. Okay? And again, I want to preface that we do not want to be practicing things wrong, but perfection and mastery takes time, especially on the guitar.
