One great way to create motivation to practice on your guitar is to do it in front of other people in various ways. Do you like to play in front of people and still love the act? The occasion need not be a formal one, for you to play.
A way to produce momentum to rehearse your guitar repertory is to set up an informal concert with a couple of pieces in the setting of your own home. The fellow members of your own family could be the public. Several situations can be created at house where you play your music and motivate friends and other family fellow members to come up and play their own instruments as well. This of course needs some planning to organize a domestic presentation and for your own preparation also.
But what happens if you detest the idea of performing? One way where you could practice with your guitar repertory is to continue playing in isolation and pretend that there are lots of individuals in front of you. To make your imagination more realistic, you could organize to put some empty chairs in front, as if you are awaiting some audience to arrive. In such dummy shows, you have to be true to yourself and play according to what you had planned from start to finish, and if you make an error, what should be your plan of action? You possibly would like to dismiss the slips and carry on playing as normal, in this easy setting. This would ultimately result in your enhancing the level of self confidence and self discipline as well, and this would give you an opportunity to learn from your mistakes of guitar playing.
This performance could also be recorded and played again, for determining mistakes, if any. The recording program need not be made into something elaborate, as you have your cell phone and mp3/4 player, which can make these tasks very easy. The art of recording is like having a critic in the populace and listening to other artists recordings will also be of great benefit. 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. The level of perfection, which you aim for during a guitar performance, must also be present in your rehearsing sessions of guitar pieces and songs. As you memorize your music you will also discover your position, posture and your stress level. The feeling of joy and delight felt during your rehearse sessions would percolate to the member of the audience when you perform in front of them.
