Several times. Before I joined GMC I was at the point of almost giving up guitar. Right now I've signed up for the GMC private lessons, though I have too few hours to practice it keeps me going and I get new ideas.
My long time goal is to become a better song writer and overall more secure guitarist. Maybe you don't have a goal with your playing? I think it's always important to have one set up. -------------------- My bands homepage

This happens to everybody. The thing is that as we get better we less notice it. When you're beginner you make huge and clear progress. In time progress moves on things you sometimes don't clearly see but its there like - muting technique, precision, speed, tone, vibrato, theory, phrasing etc etc. If you can pull off those hours of practice that is plenty! 30 min - 1 hour a day is plenty. It's actually not how much (how long) you practice but what you practice and how. Try to be focused. Pick one area you wish to develop (alternate picking, phrasing, bending, vibrato anything...) and do focused exercises on that for a week. Try to pick a reasonable goal for example certain tempo you wish to be able to play certain lick/technique on. Keep a practice log in a notebook of what you did each day, which tempo etc etc. At the end of the week you will clearly see the progress. Also try to make your practice sessions efficient by just practicing stuff that is new to you and not playing things you are already comfortable with. For example if you can play certain technique perfectly on 60 bpm , move up the starting point next day to faster tempo in order to cover more "ground" in each new practice session.

LIN YUTANG edit: coming down to earth a bit, it is pretty well established that learning is heavily related to your level of concentration. Until a year and a half ago I did not even realize that I generally was not concentrating when I tried to learn something. I learned that from this particular book. http://www.amazon.com/Brain-That-Changes-I...4677&sr=8-1 This post has been edited by fkalich: Jan 7 2011, 02:59 AM |
