Don’t make the mistake of thinking that you can’t get better on guitar because you only have limited time to practice. The actual reasons why guitarists with limited practice time fail to get better are the following:
1. Giving Up On Practice Due To Self-Limiting Beliefs
It’s common for guitarists to believe they can’t become good because they don’t have enough time to practice. They believe that having tons of time to practice is necessary for getting better and since they don’t have a lot of time... there’s no point in even practicing. This is one of the main reasons why so many players never get any better or ultimately quit guitar.
Fact: getting better on guitar is about quality over quantity. Great guitarists focus on getting the most from every second of their practice time, rather than practicing as much as possible. It’s true that some guitar players practice many hours every day with the goal of getting better. However, this doesn’t mean it works for them. When you focus on doing the best you can with the time you have, you quickly begin seeing results like never before.
2. Not Practicing Away From Guitar
A lot can be done away from your guitar to improve your musical skills. Many guitarists don’t realize this and miss out on a huge opportunity to improve. Practicing away from your guitar increases the amount of practice time you have and makes your time with the guitar more efficient. This helps you make faster progress. A few examples of things you can work on away from your instrument include: learning music theory, improving fretboard memorization/visualization or songwriting.
3. Not Practicing As Effectively As Possible
Regardless of how much time is available to practice, you become a better guitarist faster by practicing effectively. A lot of guitarists do not practice very effectively, and spend their practice time playing around in an unorganized way. Making your guitar practice highly efficient and effective gets the best results even if you only have a few minutes to work. A guitar player who only has 30 minutes a day, but practices as effectively as possible gets MASSIVE results compared to a guitarist who has many hours to practice per day, but does so in an ineffective manner.
Make your practice as effective as possible by finding and working with an experienced guitar teacher.
