Thanks Tom for sharing your thoughts on practicing. I’m a hobbyist so sometimes I feel guilty about practicing because I have other things that need to be done. Your comment on its a privilege to be able to play helped me. All three of the videos were very helpful.
Lots of awesome tips here. I Especially love the part where you talked about not having to follow a set list of things to practice. That checklist practice approach always left me feeling uninspired. I usually get to every topic I am working on in a way that doesn’t feel forced. If it takes a week or even a month to get through everything so be it. I am a hobbyist with a strong desire to be professional or semi pro btw. Thanks for all the tips!
I’m a semi-professional, for sure. I play gigs with a singer, and we mostly perform my own songs. I’m also 72-years-old and have been playing guitar since age 13. The main thing I gleaned from the semi-pro designation is to worry less about learning to read music well, I’m not going to be doing any gigs that require me to sight-read, ever.
