Get Motivated! Successful Strategies for Consistent Improvement on Guitar

Welcome back to Day 14 of 30 Days of Guitar!

It’s easy to see someone else and think they are more talented, or spent more time practicing than you. But the truth is, everyone struggles at some point. I want to discuss some of the things that have kept me going, even when I didn’t feel like I was making progress.

4 more tips for better practicing

  1. Set realistic goals: Before you practice, decide what you want to accomplish. Is it to learn a new skill or master a technique? Set measurable goals that are achievable, and break larger goals into smaller steps.
  2. Create a practice schedule: Establish a regular practice schedule to ensure you’re consistently working on the skills you want to improve.
  3. Challenge yourself: As you progress, find ways to challenge yourself with more difficult goals. Don’t be afraid to push yourself to reach the next level.
  4. Take breaks: Breaks are important for maintaining focus and energy. Schedule breaks throughout your practice session to give yourself time to rest and recharge.

Some motivation to keep practicing guitar

  1. Celebrate your successes: Every time you accomplish a goal, celebrate it! Even if it’s small, recognize your progress and give yourself an attaboy.
  2. Visualize success: Visualize yourself achieving your guitar goals. Close your eyes and mentally rehearse the steps needed and imagine the end result.
  3. Take risks: Push yourself to experiment and take risks. You never know when something new might spark an unexpected breakthrough.
  4. Find a mentor: Find someone who has achieved the level of skill you’re aiming for and ask them for advice. They may offer insights and tips that can help you reach your goals faster.
  5. Have fun: Don’t forget—the most important part of practicing is to enjoy the process. Find ways to make practice fun and engaging, and the results will follow.
