Make your guitar playing a more personal experience
By making the experience of guitar playing as individualized as possible, practicing the instrument can become both more exciting and more relaxing. Here we look at a few tips for personalizing your practice regimen.
In this latest post on MusicThinkTank, contributor Rachelle Wilber offers some guidance on how to make your guitar playing a more personal experience.
“While it can be exciting to play the music of others, you can entertain yourself by creating your own music. Since you’ll be creating it yourself, you’ll likely feel like the experience is more personal to you. If you have an instructional book, you can use this to experiment with composing your own songs. Another idea is to strum different chords to see what sounds right, and make this into a song. Don’t worry if it doesn’t sound perfect. The point is to feel your way through different musical sounds, so you understand the guitar and yourself better.”
