Playing for fun
I know a lot of you are going to say, “Of course I’m playing guitar for fun. That’s why I started in the first place”.
But..
You might find that it’s not turning out to be as much fun as you thought it was going to be.
That may be because you are having to learn a lot of chords, and lot of theory, and you haven’t been able to get down to the base, primal level of pure enjoyment that playing guitar can offer.
But imagine that you could play at a level that gave you the satisfaction that you are looking for. No one is watching… Close your eyes and in your minds eye, play your guitar, just like you want to. Just spend a few seconds and do it now..
If you can close your eyes and do this small amount of practice (in your mind) for a few seconds or even a few minutes a day, you will always have the drive to do some guitar practice and maybe even a little theory, because you know where that relatively small amount of work will take you.
So whether it be trying to get a better sound from your chords, or trying to learn guitar tabs, you can always give yourself the feeling that you will have once you can play guitar.
