A great way to create motivation to practice on your guitar is to perform in front of other individuals in different ways. Do you like to play in front of people and still savor the act? The occasion 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. The fellow members of your own family could be the audience. Several situations can be created at home where you play your music and motivate friends and other family members to come up and play their own instruments as well. Of course you have to prepare in order to suggest a presentation and in order to prepare yourself.
But if you don’t like to perform? Well you can really rehearse the art of playing on your guitar without individuals present and one way is to use your imagination and make out that you perform in front of others. To give more shape to your vision, put some empty chairs in front of you and place some kid teddy bears on them. In such artificial shows, you have to be true to yourself and play corresponding to what you had planned from beginning to end, and if you make a mistake, what should be your plan of action? You possibly would like to ignore the mistake and carry on playing as usual, in this easy setting. This would in the end result in your raising the level of self confidence and self control as well, and this would give you a chance to learn from your errors of guitar playing.
This playing could also be recorded and played again, for discovering mistakes, if any. Don’t make this recording thing to involved especially these days with cell phones and mp3 players it’s an easy task to implement. When you tape your own performance it is like listening to some critical comment from the audience and when you listen to other performing artists, it assists your own. You have to look upward in order to climb to a higher level in your guitar playing and this will be established by listening to guitarists on a higher artistic level than yourself. When you practice and learn your guitar pieces or songs, remember to always play your music at the same aesthetic level as when you perform. Along with your music, you must master the art of showing your attitude, body language and stress level management. The feeling of joy and delight felt during your rehearse sessions would percolate to the member of the audience when you perform in front of them.
