Do you feel your guitar playing is stagnating?
If you’re unsure, here are a few clues it might be:
- You constantly play the same stuff the same way.
- You don’t feel very motivated to play.
- You find playing boring.
- You occasionally try to learn something new but end up going back to the same old stuff.
Here are a few things that can cause stagnation:
- Not having an effective, goal based practice routine.
- Not knowing what you want to achieve and how to get there.
- Doing too much playing and not enough practice.
- Having a limited knowledge of theory and technique and not doing anything to expand that knowledge.
Guitar lessons are a great way to stop your playing from stagnating.
They force you to address things you’ve been putting off, push you to practice more often and more effectively and force you to expand your musical knowledge and playing ability.
