Guitar Push
Guitar Push
I love music but I cant seem to push myself to play guitar enough. How do I inspire myself?
Music is so fascinating to me and I have never seen or heard anything like it. There is no other way to make something like music other then playing an instrument or singing. Yet I cant bring myself to practice enough as I should. It’s mostly playing scales and learning theory that gets me, everything else is so fun to play. How can I make learning theory fun?
1. practice at a regular time. first thing in the morning is a good time, before work and other distractions pop up.
2. chart your progress. play with a metronome and mark on a calendar how fast you can cleanly play scales etc. record yourself and listen to it periodically. when you can see and hear the results of practice, you’ll be encouraged to stick to it. also when you listen to recordings of yourself, you’ll hear mistakes and weaknesses that are easy to ignore when you’re ‘in the moment.’ or you might even impress yourself. when you play with a metronome, time seems to slow down, but when you play back the recording, you’ll realize you were flying!
3. play with people who are better than you. it’s easy to think you’re pretty good when you’re alone. playing with other people will give you an idea of where your skill level really is. when i jam with people who are awesome, i’m humbled, and i want to practice to reach their level. but any audience is better than no audience. fear of embarassment and the desire to impress people is a powerful motivator to practice.
4. buy new stuff. having a new guitar, or even just putting new strings on an old one makes me want to play more. if you don’t have the cash, offer to swap gear with a friend for a couple weeks. just having a different sound and a different feel can make things less boring.
5. find its use. it’s hard for me to memorize strange chords or scales unless there’s a song i want to play that uses those theories. remember that people invented music without rules and theory. theory was invented later just to explain things.
