Lack of Guitar Progress Part 4

Lack of Guitar Progress Part 4

Inaction


Hi everyone!

Here is the 4th installment of why many people do not progress on the guitar: inaction.

What is "inaction?" Here is my description, I have a few:

a) Some guitar players, after spending time going down dead ends with their playing progress, realize that they are not getting better at the rate they should. They know they should seek out lessons with a good instructor, but for various reasons, they procrastinate or rationalize excuses to put it off, with the result being more time going by with no progress. I have literally seen players come into contact with me about lessons several years ago, not commit to taking lessons, then when I see them play many years later, their playing has not improved at all. This is really unfortunate as they will never get those years back.

b) Some guitar players are fortunate enough to get into lessons with a good instructor, but do not properly or efficiently apply their methods, or do not take lessons long enough for any effectiveness. It always puzzles me when I have a new student, whose goal it is, is to be a good guitar player, yet they do not effectively apply the methods I have taught to them. I bump into these individuals years later and their playing still has not improved the rate it should, and I ask them if they have used any of my methods I taught them, when they say sheepishly "no" I just shrug my shoulders and tell them, that that was their choice.

c) For some, they prefer to stare at the guitar and just dream, or play a particular video game and pretend, I would rather do it for real, what about you?

See you next time friends.
