The manner to get motivated to play on your guitar is to do it to a group of people. Are you easy playing in front of an audience and relish every minute of it? Playing really doesn’t need to be too official!
A method to create momentum to practise your guitar repertoire is to set up an informal concert with a couple of pieces in the setting of your own house. Your audience could be your own family relatives. Several places 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. Of course you have to plan ahead in order to suggest a presentation 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 secret and imagine that you are playing in front of a crowd. To make your vision more realistic, you could arrange to put some empty chairs in front, as if you are expecting some audience to arrive. In these types of pseudo shows, you must be true to your self and diligently play every part of your original plan from beginning to the finish and if you make a mistake, what can be done? You would probably want to downplay the effect of this slip and just play on, so this is what you have to rehearse even in this relaxed setting. What will take place is that you create self confidence in your power to handle faults and you will also find weaknesses you can improve upon in your guitar playing.
This performance could also be recorded and played again, for discovering mistakes, if any. Don’t make this recording matter to involved especially these days with cell phones and mp3 players it’s an easy task to implement. Making a recording is similar to having a critic in the audience and listening to other musicians is also beneficial. Always be ambitious with your guitar playing and you can reach higher echelons when you listen to other players who are better than you. You must exercise the same kind of passion, which you would display in a performance when you practice you guitar pieces, or memorizing songs. Along with your music, you must master the art of exhibiting your attitude, body language and stress level management. The spirit of joy and pleasure felt during your rehearse sessions would permeate to the member of the audience when you perform in front of them.
