The way to get the right type of motivation to play your guitar is to perform in front of a number of people. Do you like to play in front of individuals and still enjoy the experience? The occasion need not be a formal one, for you to play.

The way you could start with your guitar presentation is to set up a reduced show in the comfort of your own home. Your own family fellow members could be the fellow members of the audience. Several situations can be created at home where you play your music and motivate pals and other family fellow members to come up and play their own instruments as well. This of course needs some planning to prepare a domestic presentation and for your own preparation also.

But what happens if you detest the idea of performing? 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. To make your vision more realistic, you could arrange to put some unused chairs in front, as if you are awaiting some audience to arrive. On such an occasion you have to exercise self control and play those parts in your actual program from beginning to end so if you make a mistake in front of the audience, what would you do? You perhaps would like to dismiss the mistake and carry on playing as usual, in this easy setting. This would in the end result in your enhancing the level of self confidence and self control as well, and this would give you an opportunity to learn from your errors of guitar playing.

This is also an excellent time to record your playing for later evaluation. The recording plan need not be made into something elaborate, as you have your cell phone and mp3/4 player, which can make these tasks very easy. When you tape your own playing it is like listening to some critical comment from the audience and when you listen to other performers, it assists your own. You have to look to the sky in order to rise to a advanced level in your guitar playing and this will be attained by listening to guitarists on a advanced artistic level than yourself. You must work the same kind of love, which you would show in a performance when you practice you guitar pieces, or memorizing songs. As you memorize your music you will also discover your attitude, posture and your tension level. The sense of joy and happiness that you feel during practice would spread to the audience when you perform in public.
