3 Things That Separate Great Guitar Players From Everyone Else

Want to become a great guitar player? There are 3 HUGE differences between great guitarists and mediocre guitarists. Get started becoming a great guitarist by learning them:

Great Guitar Players Stay Focused On Their Guitar Playing Goals

Poor guitarists make the mistake of practicing as many things as possible with no goal in mind. They believe this is how one becomes a great player. As a result, they may gain some skills in different areas, but by not focusing on any specific musical goal, they end up becoming overwhelmed and never really become great at anything.

Great guitar players choose specific goals and focus on using their practice time as effectively as possible to reach them. If you are not sure how to make your practice time effective, work together with an experienced guitar teacher who understands how to help you achieve your musical goals as fast as possible.

Great Guitar Players Believe They Can And Will Reach Their Goals

It is nearly impossible to have a musical goal, not believe you can achieve it and actually achieve it. No matter what musical goal you have, achieving that goal requires that you believe you CAN do it (Note: guitarists can often achieve much more than they think they can).

For example, when a poor guitarist listens to his favorite player playing a highly technical lick, he thinks, "I'll never be able to play like that." As a result, they never even try to learn how to play it (or at best settle for playing it in a very sloppy manner). A great guitarist thinks, "I may not be able to play like that now, but I WILL." This thought leads them to take the action necessary for achieving their goal.

Great Guitar Players Manage Frustration Exceptionally Well

Frustration either hurts your guitar playing or gives you a boost to take your guitar playing to the next level. Guitarists who never become great interpret frustration negatively and start believing they "aren't good enough", "can't play very well" or other disempowering thoughts. Great guitarists use frustration like a kind of fuel that burns inside them and use it to push themselves even harder to get better.

Remember, all of the best guitarists you ever heard of were total beginners at one one point. These guitarists chose to use their frustration to push themselves. Do the same and any musical goal is achievable.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
