Motivation
- Inspiration
- Go Grab It - By Chris Standring
We all get discouraged from time to time in our
musical journey. It's only natural. "Mom, can I get
a guitar for my birthday? - I really want to learn how to play
guitar" - is often how it begins. Then lessons start
and it's just all too much for many and most give up. This is
the first 'wheat from the chaff' separation.
- Humility
In Music
- By Mark Stefani
It's kind of funny. No one that I know really
likes or appreciates someone who comes across egotistically,
even if they can "back up the talk" with their acquired skill.
Yet there's a fine line between being perceived as egotistical
and being perceived as confident, and the case can clearly be
made that the best and most successful musicians are those who
exude confidence with a healthy ego.
- Are
You A Bad Student? - By Tom Hess
I wasted years of valuable time, thousands
of dollars and much frustration in my pursuit to become a great
guitarist and "make it" as a professional musician. If I knew
then what I know now, I might have been able to turn pro a lot
faster than I actually did.
- Keeping
It Simple
- By Mark Stefani
Simplicity. Such a basic concept, but one that
manages to elude so many people in so many ways, and never is
this more evident than in the field of music. I'd like to spend
this edition discussing this basic issue, and explain why I
feel that it's so important to never lose sight of this proven
formula for success.
- Assessing
Your Goals
- By Mark Stefani
Goals, goals, goals. Anyone who knows me is aware
of the fact that I'm a goal-driven person by nature, regardless
of what the particular quest may be. Of course, I'm not exactly
the only individual with a fondness for setting goals, but I
am routinely reminded of how important it is to have our priorities
aligned properly, if we wish to fulfill them.
- Inspiration
Wanted - Apply Within! By Chris Standring
Every musician goes through mental road blocks
when it comes to improving. Often we just don't know what we
should be working on. This article shows you where to find all
the inspiration you need to get to that next level.

Climb Every Mountain - By
Jamie Andreas
Every
piece of music you work on is its own mountain. It is easy to
get 80% of the way up the mountain, any interested party can
do that. Closing in on that last 20%, well, that separates the
men from the boys, as they say.
- Fire
& Inspiration
- By Tom Hess
Find
out what truly inspires you to want to play music, write music,
jam with your friends, etc. Whatever it is for you, go there
and marinate in that inspiration. Get your mind in that place
and focus on it.
- If
You Believe, You Can
By Tom Hess
If you believe that you can, and will, overcome
your greatest challenges, you will find a way, or you will seek
help from a teacher, trainer, coach or mentor that will help
you through it. If you don’t believe you can achieve, your done,
it’s over, because you won’t.
- The
80/20 Law - By
Tom Hess
Have
you ever noticed how some players, who practice less, seem to
make more progress than others who practice more? That can be
really frustrating for people in the second group.
- Take
The Test - by Tom Hess
On the surface, it may seem too simple or too obvious how one
can define one's purpose and reasons behind an ultimate goal.
I assure you it is not.
- Develop
Your Vision - By Craig Bassett
Guitarists...Want to learn how to maintain your
focus and motivation? This guitar lesson tells you THE most
powerful way!
- Natural
Talent - By Jamie Andreas
Having "talent" is not the primary factor in whether
or not you will become a good or great player. Your burning
desire and desperate need to play, coupled with the correct
understanding and approach, are the most important things you
must have.
