How do you go about learning a new skill?

Combination of skills learning, practice, and performance. 1. Skills Learning - make sure you're taking one day a week to advance your index of basic skills. Scales, chord progressions, sight reading, etc. That gives you the template for the next week of practice. 2. Practice - one day of skills learning = 6 days of practice. 30min/day. But focus on practicing the skills you just learned. Miss a week of practice? Then you have twice the learnings to cover in half of the practice time. 3. Performance - this was always my favorite when playing the guitar. Develop a regular cadence of putting yourself out there publicly. Rehearse separately for that. Play one song in front of friends, practice for 2 weeks to do it. It's like product releases -- you're trying to figure out what you're getting wrong, and where you need work. But nothing accelerates learning like the pressure of getting in front of people. I played the guitar for most of my life and applied the same approach to my work as an entrepreneur. You're going to do great, especially if you're a percussionist already.

Just show up. When I started learning to code, after not learning anything at this scale since uni, I hit that steep learning curve. But I stuck to it, showing up every day, even though nothing made sense. I tried seeing what my frustration limit is. And always pushing it a bit further every time. Then, after about 6 months, it started making sense.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the best way to learn a new skill depends on the individual and their learning style. However, here are some general tips that can help you to learn anything new: 1. Set achievable goals - When you are trying to learn a new skill, it's important to have short- and long-term goals in mind. Make sure that you are setting small goals that you can easily achieve and that will help you move closer to your larger goal. 2. Practice, practice, practice - The best way to learn anything is by practicing as much as possible. Practice until you can do the task quickly and without error. When you are able to do this, it will be much easier to apply what you've learned in the future. 3. Use flashcards or other flash memory tools - Sometimes it's hard to remember things when they're not immediately visually apparent. That's where flashcards or other visual memory tools come in handy - they allow you to store information in a way that is easy for you to access and remember. 4. Make use of online resources - There are many online resources available that can help you learn new skills faster and more efficiently than ever before. Whether you're looking for video tutorials, audio recordings, or written materials, there's bound to be something that suits your needs. Hopefully, these tips will help get you started on the right track in your quest to learn anything new!

I try to take it slow because learning a new skill takes time. Patience is the key.

This has always been an interesting topic for me as I have tried learning various different things and end up leaving them eventually. It would be interesting to see people's perspectives on this topic. For me, learning guitar was a long process. It took me 3-4 years from taking a guitar in my hand to performing twice in my college, to eventually getting busy and not getting enough time to play it more often. I started out by learning short tunes and songs on tabs, then progressing to chords that I learned from Youtube to solos in rock songs. But this did take a lot of time and effort. I'd suggest that you just master the basics first and then keep learning and mastering songs that you love. This will make sure you're motivated and don't give up soon. Good luck!

I really enjoy learning new skills. Recently, I have started learning the Spanish language. I find it interesting.

By being consistent.

I find that the following work well - - joining a group of people who are similar stages in the learning journey - Going through lots of videos - Practicing it as early as possible Of this, the direct practice has worked the best for me in terms of efficiency !

I have a very basic opinion and understanding related to learning anything and it goes like this, discipline and consistency are two gems which make things possible.

Youtube, its great if your a visual learner.
