The way to get motivated to play on your guitar is to do it to a group of people. Do you like to perform in front of others? Let us see how you can enjoy performing while also giving enjoyment to others. Performing really doesn’t need to be too formal!

A way to produce momentum to practise your guitar repertory 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. There are many occasions when you can perform and play your music in the house and maybe you will also encourage others in your family or among your pals to play on their instruments in such a setting. This of course needs some planning to prepare a domestic performance and for your own preparation also.

But what should you do if the idea of performing does not appeal to you? One way where you could practice with your guitar repertory is to continue playing in isolation and make out that there are lots of people in front of you. If you want to help your imagination a bit you can put empty chairs in front of you representing the audience. In these types of fake shows, you must be honest 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 perhaps would like to ignore the mistake and carry on playing as normal, in this comfortable setting. This kind of setting would re-enforce your own sense of discipline and confidence as you go on taking lessons from your faults as you play your guitar.

This performance could also be recorded and played again, for discovering mistakes, if any. You need not make this recording plan too involved – there are cellular phones and mp3 players, which assist you to do this with ease. The art of recording is like having a critic in the public and listening to other artists recordings will also be of great benefit. You must have great dreams to be with the top rungs of guitar players and this can be done when you continually listen to others playing who are superior to you. When you practice and learn your guitar pieces or songs, remember to constantly play your music at the same artistic level as when you perform. Along with your music, you must master the art of showing your attitude, body language and stress level management. The spirit of joy and pleasure felt during your rehearse sessions would percolate to the member of the audience when you perform in front of them.
