			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>By Guest Author &#8211; <em>Sammy TwoTongue</em></strong></p>
<p>A great motivator named Earl Nightingale came up with the this definition of success&#8230;</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>I like that definition very much! What does this definition mean to you? Let&#8217;s take a closer look at what you want to achieve&#8230;</p>
<p>Spend a few minutes writing down what &#8220;worthy ideal&#8221; means to you. It is my vision of perfection&#8230;a vision of what I would ideally want &amp; like things to be. It is a vision that I find inspiring and energizing!</p>
<p>If your success with guitar is totally dependant on working towards a worthy ideal, doesn&#8217;t it make sense that you first need to figure out what YOUR worthy ideal is? How can you progressively realize something even if you don&#8217;t know what it is? Let&#8217;s do some exercises to figure your one out&#8230;</p>
<p>You must invest a couple hours a day doing the following exercises. They will seriously help you build a mental picture of what your goal is in your head&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Exercise 1:<br />
</strong>Try to imagine how you would like to play.Try to imagine what your <a href="http://musicequipmentonline.com" target="_blank">guitar</a> will look like, sound like, and feel like.What <a href="http://musicequipmentonline.com" target="_blank">guitar</a> are you a master of? How does your improvising sound? What is going on with your composing? Please write down your answers now.</p>
<p><strong>Exercise 2:<br />
</strong>I want you to imagine your ideal guitar playing career. Would you be a master guitar teacher? What about an amazing performing artist? Or another goal can be performing as part of a highly successful band? What do you think about being an in demand studio guitarist? What do you really want to do? You can write down your answers now.</p>
<p><strong>Exercise 3:</strong><br />
Jot down your ideas for a worthy career in guitar playing. Write your goal down in the present tense like you have already achieved it.Try to make it into a one paragraph statement.</p>
<p><strong>Exercise 4:<br />
</strong>Invest 5 minutes every morning and night to read your worthy ideal. This will be a factor in helping you stay motivated and focused on the goals that you want to achieve.</p>
<p>Clarity is something that you must have. Without it you won&#8217;t be able to start developing an effective plan to work towards your worthy ideal.</p>
<p>You will find that while you are answering the questions that self-doubt will start to creap into your mind. You may doubt whether or not what you write down is even possible! This is normal. Just write down your answers anyway <img src='http://www.freeguitarlessonsblog.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  You don&#8217;t need to know right now HOW you will achieve your worthy ideal. All you need to do is figure out WHAT it is.</p>
<p>You can improve your <a href="http://musicequipmentonline.com" target="_blank">guitar</a> skills. You only learn by doing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In reality, there is no way to instantly learn how to play the guitar.  There are definitely methods that you can use that will cut down the learning curve.  You can’t expect to be able to pick up a guitar and be a master it within one day.  </p>
<p>Learning to play the guitar doesn’t take only one day of practice. The most famous guitarists didn’t learn their skills in just one day. They put a lot of time into practice and disciplined themselves to be patient.  </p>
<p>In fact, most of the famous guitarists had been playing guitar for years before they made it big.  Even when you get very good at playing guitar, there will always be something new to learn.  </p>
<p>You should know the parts of the guitar and their functions. Then, you can start playing the easy chords. Don’t try to be too overzealous and try to learn the power chords or the sharp and minor chords. </p>
<p>Practice one chord at a time. But be sure that before practicing the next chord, you have already mastered the previous chord. Each chord should be played properly with proper hand placement on the strings. If it doesn’t sound good then you are not doing it right. </p>
<p>Playing a certain chord over and over again is the best thing that you can do. After that, you can start playing easy songs with your guitar. Find songs that have the chords that you have already learned and mastered.</p>
<p>Once you master each chord you will build confidence within yourself.  When you learn an easy song and master it, you will further build your confidence in your playing.  By doing this, it will also further encourage you to want to keep learning and practicing.  It’s very fulfilling to be able to play your first song after putting some time and effort into it. </p>
<p>If you have realistic expectations and want to learn to play the guitar easily, then you just have to put some work into it, and have to be patient with yourself.  There are several tutorials that are easy to understand and that will help you to learn how to play the guitar.</p>
<p>If you want to learn to play the guitar easily, then the first step is to find quality instruction.  It doesn’t matter in what form.  You can take guitar lessons from someone who knows how to play.  You can buy DVD guitar instructions.  You can even find guitar lessons on the internet.</p>
<p>If you want to learn to play the guitar easily, then <a href="http://www.freeguitarlessonsblog.com/guitar-program-reviews/">guitar lessons on the internet</a> may be your best bet.  You can learn at your own pace.  You don’t have to leave your house to go anywhere.  Compared to lessons, the cost is very minimal. They provide all the quality training you need to take you from a novice to skilled.</p>
