The manner to get motivated to play on your guitar is to do it to a group of people. Do you like to perform before others? Let us see how you can enjoy performing while also providing enjoyment to others. The occasion need not be a formal one, for you to play.

The way you could start with your guitar performance is to set up a small show in the setting of your own home. Your own family fellow members could be the members of the audience. There could be several chances for practicing your music in the house environment where you could even ask your other family fellow members or pals to play their music too. 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? Well you can really practice the art of playing on your guitar without individuals present and one way is to use your imagination and make out that you perform in front of others. If you want to help your imagination a bit you can put unused chairs in front of you representing the audience. In these types of pseudo shows, you must be honest to your self and diligently play every piece of your original plan from start to the finish and if you make a slip, what can be done? You would in all probability want to downplay the consequence of this mistake and just play on, so this is what you have to practice even in this relaxed setting. This kind of setting would re-enforce your own feel of discipline and self-confidence as you go on taking lessons from your faults as you play your guitar.

This playing could also be recorded and played again, for discovering errors, if any. You need not make this recording plan too involved – there are cell phones and mp3 players, which assist you to do this with ease. Making a recording is similar to having a critic in the audience and listening to other musicians is also beneficial. Always be ambitious with your guitar playing and you can reach higher echelons when you listen to other players who are more experienced than you. When you rehearse and memorize your guitar pieces or songs, remember to constantly play your music at the same aesthetic level as when you perform. As you memorize your music you will also attain your attitude, posture and your tension level. The sense of joy and happiness that you experience during rehearse would spread to the audience when you perform in public.
