How I Get Good at Playing Guitar!

Introduction

So today I will be sharing a bit about how I got good at playing guitar.

Most people know that getting good at something requires practice, dedication, and commitment. And yes this is all true, based on my experiences. But I'd like to point out some aspects which I found useful in constantly practicing.

1. Motivation
    
Sometimes I feel like I don't really want to practice guitar but then I know that I must to keep sharpening my skills. Therefore I just pick up my guitar and start playing some random, broken pieces of songs or just pluck strings. This really brings no joy and so isn't very productive. 

My solution to this problem was to just wait for my mood or listen to some songs. Usually I just wait until my mood comes along or I just listen to songs or instrumentals/finger style  covers on YouTube and when my mind picks up on something I like, I just start practicing it.

Sometimes though, I set in mind a short schedule of what I want to practice tomorrow as this helps by eliminating mood factors. I usually do this when I'm gonna record a cover for YouTube.


2. Just enjoy it:)

There are times when I simply take my guitar and start playing a song. Now, these times are distinctly different from the mood less practices I mentioned above. The difference is that in these unique moments, I automatically enjoy the sound of my guitar. 

Maybe it is caused by my placing my ear nearer to the guitar than usual, but still I feel different inside. I  feel a little for grateful, entertained, and relaxed. I just keep playing for the sake of those majestic tunes .


3. Don't rush

When you are eager to learn to play a new song, you are most likely to do it with haste. My advice is that you just slow down, nothing is chasing you. If you keep on rushing your practice, you will probably keep on hitting the wrong notes and that leads to little progress. 




Conclusion


So to sum this up, whenever you're gonna practice, just enjoy it and don't rush.
