“Slow down, you’re moving too fast”
“Practicing slowly enough to avoid mistakes is probably the single most difficult thing for beginners to do. It can be a challenge for most seasoned players as well. I’m a long way from a beginner and I still have to remind myself to slow down when I practice. How do I know? That’s easy. If I’m making any mistake mistakes at all, I’m going too fast.”
