Distractions, Looking for tips on staying focused |
[/img]
. I am still a firm believer in the REC program & really want to participate more. So I am looking for tips. Particularly those that have done a few REC's & what do you do to reach your goal, stay focused & of course, continue to enjoy playing

Hi Blister
Finding the perfect lesson is sometimes difficult. I sometimes learn 3 or 4 before having a real crush. The GMC archives are full of exceptional guitarists. These who have provided great lessons for beginners but also many lessons that are impossible for most amateurs. An example of a great guitarist : Emir Hot composed a magic lesson for beginners. Neoclassical solo for beginner He composed so more crazy lessons so speed. THERE are some that I learn knowing that I will not be able to submit them to the REC. Hot Country Licks Mozart Turkish March For me, the REC is not an objective in itself, it represents a finalization.... I move on to another lesson. There is a paradox in submitting your take.... You have pride but you know you're going to be criticized It wreaks havoc on morale because the criticism is subjective and destructive "you're a great player but... Hang in there, have fun and don't forget that the guitar is a hobby and not your life. Have a nice day with your family.

Thank you for the tips & for how much help you are to everyone. You go above & beyond & it's appreciated. I guess I never thought of uploading my takes on lessons to the Practice Room. I guess I had never really thought about that & that's a great idea. I hope to get something up soon as I am having some issues with the lessons I'm practicing. Thank you again!  QUOTE (Monica Gheorghevici @ Oct 5 2023, 01:27 AM) As tips for focusing: - set a small goal and give yourself a deadline. Choose a lesson and learn the first part of it in 1-2 weeks. Then, record yourself and post the take in the practice room and you will get our feedback. In this way, you will have a constant task, it will give you the motivation to continue, will help you build a kind of discipline and the lesson will be learned piece by piece. When you end the lesson, you can proudly post this in the REC section (I always loved the REC section and it helped me a lot). As additional advice, be very careful what lesson you choose, because this part is much trickier than people think. If you choose something too hard, it will make you lose confidence and you will stop practicing. If it's something too easy, it will become boring. Balance is the key word here. You need to look for a lesson manageable but with new stuff that push your skills further. - when you practice turn off the phone, TV and any other device. Be unavailable 15 minutes for everybody. - stop looking for other lessons. Practice the one that you choose for 15 minutes and then, if you have more time, play anything you want for fun. Have an awesome day! --------------------  |
