很多學生會說：「我已經彈了好多首歌，為什麼還是覺得沒進步？」
你可能也有類似的感覺：和弦會了、刷法也不難，但彈起來就是少了點什麼，聲音不穩、過門會卡，甚至覺得越練越沒感覺。
其實這不是你練得不夠，而是練習的方向出了問題。
以下分享我在教學中最常看到的三個盲點，如果你已經練了很多歌卻還是卡住，很可能就是這三個練習沒做到。
1. 不要每次都從頭練到尾
你彈得最熟的那一段，會不會永遠是「前八小節」？
很多人一拿起吉他就從第一個和弦開始練，但每次都是一樣的順序，出錯的地方永遠卡在同一小節。
有效的練習應該像 Debug，一次修一段，針對卡關點下功夫。
建議練法：
- 把一首歌切成幾個段落練，例如 A 段 / B 段 / 副歌 / 間奏
- 每次針對一小段反覆練習
- 甚至可以從副歌開始練、從結尾倒著練
2. 用耳朵練，而不是只用手指
彈久了不代表彈得穩。很多人覺得自己刷得很順，但錄下來才發現忽快忽慢。
耳朵才是進步的關鍵。
建議練法：
- 用手機錄下自己彈的其中一段
- 回放時聽節奏是否穩定、聲音是否清楚、有沒有不小心拖拍
- 可以搭配節拍器，只讓它響第二拍和第四拍
3. 開始練「動機」，不要只練「彈對」
如果你會彈很多歌，但每一首都覺得沒個性、沒靈魂，可能是因為你從沒試著「自己創造一點什麼」。
動機（Motif）是音樂中最小的創造單位。哪怕只有三個音，也能透過節奏、順序、重複的變化，做出屬於你自己的旋律。
建議練法：
- 選一首熟悉的旋律，擷取3~4個音符
- 嘗試改變節奏、順序，創造出一個你自己的短句
- 搭配原本的和弦背景，即可進入最簡單的即興練習
結語：進步不是練更多，而是練得更好
- 🎯 段落練習：拆段落、重組順序，針對問題處練才有效
- 👂 耳朵練習：錄音、聆聽、修正，建立穩定節奏
- 🎶 動機練習：從模仿走向創造，養出屬於自己的聲音
如果你練了很多首歌，卻始終覺得自己還是「不夠像音樂人」，那就很值得從這三個方向重新出發。

Learned Many Songs but Still Feel Stuck? Try These 3 Practice Approaches
Many students ask, “I’ve learned so many songs—why don’t I feel like I’m improving?”
You may know your chords and strumming patterns, but your playing still feels shaky or flat. That sense of being “stuck” often comes from a lack of direction in your practice—not a lack of time or effort.
Here are three areas I often see overlooked, but they make all the difference when it comes to moving from “playing songs” to “playing music.”
1. Stop Always Practicing from the Beginning
Most students play the intro of every song flawlessly—but always stumble halfway through.
That’s because they start from the top every time. Real improvement comes when you fix the exact section that gives you trouble.
Try this:- Break the song into sections (verse, chorus, bridge, etc.)
- Focus only on one small part per practice session
- Try starting from the chorus or even the ending—it helps build flexibility
2. Train Your Ears, Not Just Your Fingers
Playing longer doesn’t guarantee better rhythm. Many players “feel” like they’re strumming well, until they listen back to a recording.
Your ears are your best teacher.
Try this:- Record a short clip of your playing
- Listen for timing, tone, and clarity—are you dragging? Are all the notes clear?
- Use a metronome clicking on beats 2 and 4 to train your internal groove
3. Don’t Just Play Correctly—Start Creating Motifs
If all your songs sound the same, it may be because you’re always following, never creating.
Motifs are small musical ideas—just 3 or 4 notes—that can be transformed and reused to make your playing more expressive.
Try this:- Pick 3–4 notes from a familiar melody
- Change the rhythm, reverse the order, or repeat them creatively
- Use them over a chord progression for a basic improvisation
Conclusion: Don’t Just Practice More—Practice Smarter
- 🎯 Practice in sections, not from the start
- 👂 Record and listen to develop solid rhythm
- 🎶 Use motifs to make your playing your own
If you’ve been stuck despite learning song after song, these three habits can help unlock your musicality.
