Becoming meticulous in your guitar playing – RAISING YOUR STANDARDS

2020-07-01T18:37:42+01:00

If you want to become the guitarist that you have always dreamed of becoming, you simply have to raise your standards! Raising your standards means doing more than you have done in the past in order to achieve a higher goal. I personally get frustrated at times when I see an individual develop their guitar playing but fall short due to a lack of discipline and self-motivation.

5 Steps to take when frustration sets in

2021-03-02T11:39:42+00:00

We have all been there, and some of us are there today. I'm talking about a frustrating time in your performance and playing that seems to last forever. The problem with progress is that it is rarely a one-way street. Progress is often failing forward. Sometimes you will feel as if your guitar playing is developing tremendously, while at other times, you might feel that you are actually going backwards. This phenomenon is perfectly normal. If you look at anything to do with the human race, progress is rarely a one-way street. We can also see this in the stock market. [...]
