Hi! Revisiting this topic as I find it intriguing.
I could be wrong, so… to summarise what I know
-
Get the whole idea down then break it down section by section. Pay attention to difficult sections. Feelings of progress do matter.
-
Have a very strong reason/desire to do it. And followed up by, “I got to show to people what I am capable of!” that sort of determination, every time picking a guitar.
-
Having mentors, not necessary a coach but friends who could point things out so I could correct it immediately (friends could be mentors too!)
-
Almost forgot, got to utilise technology (loading up the songs/tracks in DAWs, recording myself playing) Would love a condusive environment (as simple as putting a nice guitar in sight to be easily picked up and play)
