Stand Strong – Quick Practice Tip

Find more Quick Tips and lessons by Vi Wickam and others at https://www.myTalentForge.com.

Hi I’m Vi Wickam and this is your myTalentForge.com Quick Tip of the Week!

Stand strong!

Stand like you mean it!

Plant your feet shoulder-width apart. How do you expect to play strong if you don’t stand strong?

If I’m leaning to one side, or leaning to the other side… I’m like “yeahhh, I really mean it…”

I’m not going to get a strong tone, I’m not going to sound awesome. I’m going to sound wimpy! Do you want to sound wimpy?

I don’t want to you to sound wimpy, I want you to be having fun here and I want you to sound great!

So, stand strong! Put your feet in place…

[…]

That’s your my Talent Forge Quick Tip of the Week. Stand strong! Use your posture. And play it like you mean it.
