How to Play Guitar
One fantastic way to produce motivation to practice on your guitar is to perform in front of other individuals in different ways. Do you like to perform in front of others? Let us see how you can savor performing while also providing enjoyment to others. The affair need not be a formal one, for you to play.
A way to produce momentum to rehearse your guitar repertory is to set up an informal concert with a couple of pieces in the setting of your own home. Your audience could be your own family relations. There could be several opportunities for practicing your music in the house environment where you could even ask your other family fellow members or pals to play their music too. This of course needs some planning to organize a domestic performance and for your own preparation also.
But what happens if you detest the idea of performing? One way where you could practice with your guitar repertory is to continue playing in isolation and pretend that there are lots of people in front of you. If you want to help your vision a bit you can put empty chairs in front of you representing the audience. In such fake shows, you have to be true to yourself and play according to what you had planned from beginning to end, and if you make an error, what should be your plan of action? You would in all probability want to downplay the effect of this error and just play on, so this is what you have to rehearse even in this relaxed setting. This would in the end result in your raising the level of self confidence and self discipline as well, and this would give you an opportunity to learn from your mistakes of guitar playing.
You could even record your playing so that you can inspect it later for flaws etc. The recording plan need not be made into something elaborate, as you have your cell phone and mp3/4 player, which can make these exercises very easy. Making a recording is similar to having a critic in the audience and listening to other musicians is also beneficial. You have to look upwards in order to climb to a higher level in your guitar playing and this will be established by listening to guitarists on a advanced aesthetic level than yourself. When you practice and memorize your guitar pieces or songs, remember to always play your music at the same artistic level as when you perform. Along with your music, you must master the art of exhibiting your attitude, body language and stress level management. The spirit of joy and delight felt during your practice sessions would percolate to the member of the audience when you perform in front of them.
