The method to get motivated to play on your guitar is to do it to a crowd. Are you comfortable playing in front of an audience and enjoy every minute of it? Playing really doesn’t need to be too official!

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 audience could be your own family relatives. There are many times when you can perform and play your music in the home and maybe you will also encourage others in your family or among your friends to play on their instruments in such a setting. Of course you have to plan ahead in order to suggest a performance and in order to prepare yourself.

But what should you do if the idea of performing does not appeal to you? There is one way you could still practice your guitar and that is to play in private and envisage that you are playing in front of a crowd. One step further is to put your children’s teddies on the chairs. In such dummy shows, you have to be true to yourself and play corresponding to what you had planned from start to finish, and if you make a mistake, what should you do? You might decide not to stop at a mistake and carry on with your playing in this type of quiet and passive show. What will take place is that you create self confidence in your power to handle errors and you will also find weaknesses you can better upon in your guitar playing.

This is also an splendid time to record your performance for later rating. Don’t make this recording thing to involved especially these days with cellular 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 ambitions to be with the top rungs of guitarists and this can be done when you endlessly listen to others playing who are superior to you. You must exercise the same kind of passion, which you would show in a playing when you rehearse you guitar pieces, or learning songs. As you learn your music you will also observe your position, posture and your stress level. The spirit of joy and pleasure felt during your practice sessions would percolate to the member of the audience when you perform in front of them.
