One small step for a guitar player

Whenever you are having a day when you wonder how you ever thought you’d be able to learn to play the guitar, remember that all progress consists of small steps. This is a home truth that holds true always. If you are feeling negative about your progress with guitar playing, pull back and and look for a baby step to conquer. Something you wouldn’t normally consider. You might, for example, have been playing guitar for six months or a year and never really worked on how to hold the guitar properly. Working on a small step like that can be very revealing. What if you discover that the basis of your problems with chord changes is in the way you put too much unnecessary tension into your left arm when you hold the guitar. To discover something like that would turn a baby step into a life-changing revelation but the bottom line is that taking a fresh look at how you go about your guitar practice will help you to continue with your aim to become a guitar player.
