How Do I Get Motivated to Learn to Play the Guitar?
Posted in learn guitar on 13. Aug, 2010
Another learn guitar question has come in this week. Let’s tackle it straight away:
Question: I Have an electric guitar. When I pick it up and play a few chords I feel good and that this will be fun, but after a while I get discouraged and put it down. I am having problems with the A barre chord and changing from one chord to another
Answer: You have to really want to learn to play and you have to realize that it will take a significant amount of time and practice. Don’t even listen to the people who say you can learn to play guitar in a couple months. They have no idea and they have a very negative influence on people who really want to learn to play and think they can’t because it takes them more than a few days to learn to play some chords.
Motivation comes from the heart. If you want to learn to play, and love playing, then that is all that matters. There are books that can help you learn, and instrumental teachers that can help and guide you with your passion. Also, family and friends can be great motivators! Let them know that you love to play, and I’m sure they’ll try their best to support your hobby. I hope you find the motivation you need to follow your passion through. Good luck!
It ts too hard on your own , a teacher can help you
Have someone push you and your guitar off a boat into a quickly moving river and not pull you out until you’ve learned. Its a technique that my father used with varying degrees of success on us kids. (According to his attorney, it was to teach us how to swim in the majority of the cases.)
Motivation usually comes with outside help.
Classes
Lessons
Listening to performances
