Older learner? Here's how to learn faster!

Summary by Krater

An exploration of the science of neuroplasticity and how failure and repetition trigger dopamine release to accelerate guitar learning, drawing on findings from Andrew Huberman.

From the video

Answers: How can adults learn guitar faster using the science of neuroplasticity?

• Neuroplasticity
• Learning science
• Dopamine and learning
• Guitar practice techniques
• Role of failure in learning
• Balance exercises for brain plasticity

What it concludes

• Children learn faster than adults because their brains have higher levels of the chemicals required for neuroplasticity, which decrease after age 25.
• Failure and the frustration of making mistakes are key ingredients that trigger chemical releases for neuroplasticity during practice.
• Doing a balance-based exercise for 5 minutes before guitar practice helps put the brain into a plastic state to learn faster.
