The method to get motivated to play on your guitar is to do it to a group of people. Do you like to play in front of individuals and still enjoy the experience? Of course it does not have to be a conventional event for you to play.
A method to produce momentum to practise your guitar repertory is to set up an informal concert with a couple of pieces in the setting of your own home. Your own family fellow members could be the fellow members of the audience. There could be several opportunities for practicing your music in the house environment where you could even ask your other family members or friends to play their music too. Some amount of preparation is needed for getting together a performance and you need to prepare for it too.
But what should you do if the idea of performing does not appeal to you? One way where you could practice with your guitar repertoire is to continue playing in isolation and pretend that there are lots of individuals in front of you. One step further is to put your children’s teddies on the chairs. On such an occasion you have to exercise self discipline and play those parts in your genuine program from beginning to finish so if you make a mistake in front of the general public, what would you do? You may decide not to stop at a mistake and carry on with your playing in this type of quiet and passive show. This would ultimately 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 errors of guitar playing.
This performance could also be recorded and played again, for discovering errors, if any. Don’t make this recording thing to complicated especially these days with cell phones and mp3 players it’s an easy task to accomplish. Making a recording is similar to having a critic in the audience and listening to other musicians is also beneficial. You must have great dreams to be with the top rungs of guitarists and this can be done when you endlessly listen to others playing who are better to you. The level of flawlessness, which you aim for during a guitar playing, must also be naturally occurring in your practicing sessions of guitar pieces and songs. When you learn your music by heart, also take notice of factors like mental attitude on stage, body language and to control tension. The feeling of joy and delight felt during your practice sessions would percolate to the member of the audience when you perform in front of them.
