Practice, Practice, Practice (Repeat Daily)

They say, "If you do something the same way for 31 straight days it moves from memory to muscle memory." First of all, I have no idea who "they" are. This is info i got from a friend from Guitar Institute of Technology. And lets face it, if it came from MIT not GIT no one would ask.

Well, back to the premise "practice." Does practice make perfect? Or, does perfect practice make perfect? From my experience, it's the latter. There is nothing worse than learning something the wrong way. I think you are better off not even learning it. I have spent many hours trying to unlearn something bad by replacing it with the correct. And, it seems that in a panic situation the original muscle memory takes over. I guess I need to practice even more.
