We're always being pulled in different directions, for example on YouTube, lots of different videos, in our social lives, on our phones, and even just something as simple as walking in the street. We're being passed by cars and bikes at a high speed, so there are so many inputs.

What You Can Do Today To Become a Better Guitar Player. These are practical tips that if you do them properly, will increase your chances of success on the guitar. 📖 Video Chapters ⏩ 0:00 Intro ⏩ 1:08 What Kind of Player Do You Want to Be? ⏩ 2:11 Your Practice Routine ⏩ 3:49 Schedule Your Practice ⏩ 5:56 Stay Consistent ⏩ 7:47 Revamp Your Routine ⏩ 8:47 Bonus Tip! 🎵TAB's, Backing Tracks & More: https://www.patreon.com/CarringtonGuitarAcademy 🔔 Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr2UK8T2v-mPr83fa0-v5TA?sub_confirmation=1 🧡 If you enjoyed this content or have any suggestions, drop a comment below 💻Socials https://www.instagram.com/carringtongtonguitaracademy 🔢Video Breakdown I start by asking what kind of guitar play do you want to be? Are you going to be the next Slash, or do you just want to strum chords in your bedroom? Both are admirable goals but they’re also very different goals, only you can truly know what kind of guitar player you want to be so that’s the question you should answer first of all. You also need to understand the difference between where you are now and where you want to go which takes me nicely onto the second point. Next I tell you that you need to know how to make a practice routine and that this should be based around exactly who you want to be as a guitar player. I say that even if you already have a routine, you should have a look over it and refine it somewhat. Practising correctly and not wrongly is also essential to your long term success. And don’t forget, different players who want different outcomes will have to practice things differently according to their goals! Then I say that no amount of practice routine is going to get you there and to take some time to actually schedule this into your calendar. If it’s an electronic calendar, set a reminder so it pops up at the time of day you intend to practice. Then, once booked in I say that you should stick to it like your life depends on it! If you find you’re struggling for time, think about the amount of hours you spend scrolling social media or watching streaming services, this is time you could be getting your 30 minutes practice per day. The next portion of the video talks about how you must also stay consistent with your routine. I know that life is busy and guitar playing is somewhat of a luxury but don’t let your practice session slip if you want to get ahead of other beginner guitar players. If you have holidays booked, consider getting a travel guitar, this might sound extreme but it will get you ahead. You will have to periodically kick yourself up the ‘you know what’ and just do the work. Then I suggest revamping your routine every couple of months; it’s a good idea to sit and change your routine to stop it getting stale. If you’ve been putting in the consistent practice, you should be seeing some results and now actually be able to do some of the chords, scales or songs you’ve set for yourself so now is the time to look at replacing what you already know with things that you don’t. If you can do all of the above for 6 - 12 months, that is how you get ahead! Lastly, I finish with my own personal Mantra on getting better at guitar that I share with my 1-2-1 students, and that is, it takes Months & Years, not Days & Weeks, it’s a long term thing so keep on going! ⚙️ Gear: Canon EOS 77D w/f2.8 17 - 55mm Cannon lens ESDDI Softbox Lights Taylor 332 Acoustic Guitar Vocal Cords Roland Cables Yamaha MG10XU Mixing Desk Neumann TLM 102 Vegas 21 Pro Cubase 12 Keep on Strummin' 🎸 Aaron #beginnerguitarlessons #beginnerguitarlesson #beginnerguitar #beginnerguitarist #guitarlesson #guitarteacher #guitarpracticetips #getbetteratguitar
