Learning to play guitar is exciting, but is an even better feeling to see how much you have achieved with time. In fact to improve your guitar skills is easy at all once you have discovered what is it that you really want to play, I mean, what type of music and songs you prefer to play.
Taking the first step is always kind of hard, if you are positive that you want to start learning guitar, the first thing you need to do is to step out of your comfort zone, I know it sound a little bit doll, but the fact is that a lot of musicians start learning something new, and it is not easy for them to overcome tricky lessons or different, and sometimes they continue practicing the way they were playing, this means that instead of taking one step forward, they have not done anything to improve.
Now, to make sure that you are on the right track you need to have the proper mindset, it all starts with your attitude about being a great guitar player; just by having the right amount of motivation you can achieve great things in this journey of becoming a better guitar player. So essentially, if you are serious about making serious changes you will be defined by what you do and how you do it, not just by thinking on how you want to do it.
To improve your guitar skills in a month, you have to plan ahead how you will achieve it, so let me give you a few tips that will get you to start playing guitar in another level, especially if you haven´t practiced in a while:
Week 1: Clean your guitar, buy new strings (if you haven´t already), sometimes, little stuff like this can make a great difference, don´t leave your guitar with the same strings for months and months at a time, try to change them every three months or so (for an electric guitar). After you have done that, it’s a great idea during this first period to start doing finger exercises, learn one scale and play it every day for 5 days.
Week 2: Find one new song to learn, just one, focus your entire attention and your effort to this new song, do what you regularly do to learn a new song, a hard song, listen to it several times, download the tab, only this time try to learn it as slow as possible, play it for at least one hour a day for 5 days with the company of a metronome and try to learn it mistakes free.
Third Week: Continue playing the song you’re already learning, play it and practice as often as you can, you should be gaining some speed by now and your hands will be faster, start putting some speed to the metronome until you are able to play the song on real speed.
Week 4: You have started playing guitar again on the right track my friend; your next move is to keep practicing, on week four start taking classes or join a music academy, this way you’ll have consistency and you will have thousands of lessons ahead of you to learn.
To start playing guitar like a professional all you need is determination and motivation, take the first step, that’s the most difficult thing to do, after that, you have half of the battle won already, have a great day.
