Have you ever had a favorite song that you listened to over and over again for several days, weeks, months even? Of course you have, everybody did, but did it happen to you that a friend of yours, traumatized by this favorite song of yours ask you: “What do you like so much about that song, what is it about?”. Probably about 10-20% of the cases you knew exactly what the subject was about, but in the rest of the cases you probably answered: “I don’t know, I just like the beat”.
So it is obvious that the beat/instrumental adds very much if not the most value to your song.
Today, there are more up-coming artists than ever before, not only because the population grew, but the main reason is that beats have become so accessible for everybody through the help of WEBSITES DEDICATED TO BEATS. And if you are a new artists you have to stand out of the crowd, not only with your mind-blowing LYRICS or your amazing VOICE, but your breath-taking BEATS/INSTRUMENTALS that when a fan of yours is listening to your musical projects, the “HOT” beats come one after the other and so on.
So you thought it would be cool to play a guitar? You spent some money and bought some gear and you have been working for a while but it is getting kind of hard to stay motivated. You feel like you aren’t improving and your hands are sore. What now? How do you keep playing and enjoying the experience when the going gets tough? We all feel like giving up at times but the difference between a musician and a wannabe is someone who keeps going when the going gets tough. How do they do it? How do people keep going when it all just seems too hard?
One of the key things to remember when you feel like giving up is that everyone has gone through the same thing. Even your guitar heroes, the guys that are the reason you wanted to play in the first place have felt like quitting at some point. Understanding that you aren’t alone can be an important start in getting your motivation back.
Everyone knows about the importance of setting goals these days. This is equally important in learning to play the guitar. Regardless of who you are or what kind of music you are trying to play setting and achieving goals will help you in a number of ways.
