#260 - Watch THIS If You Feel Unmotivated.
Added 2023-02-10 15:30:00 +0000 UTCMy friends, I wanted to record a completely different video for you this week - but talking about this is really important since we never did it so far.
In this video, I want to share 5 awesome tips for staying motivated when it comes to following a practice routine. We have all been there - sometimes it gets tough although we all really want to get better at playing guitar. We abandon our routine and lose motivation - what can we do to avoid this?
I hope that this video will help you with picking up a guitar every day - trust me, it's really worth it! Here's the link to the 30-day technique challenges that I mentioned in the video: https://www.patreon.com/bernth?filters[tag]=Patreon%20Online%20Courses
Just scroll down a bit and you will find packages for alternate picking, hand synchronization, legato, tapping, sweep picking, and much more. These 30-day packages come with a goal (completing the challenge at the end) and that serves as a great start to boost your consistency and practice motivation.
We got this, let's keep fighting together!

2023-03-26 01:09:40 +0000 UTCHi , I don't play golf (prefer video games 😉) but I know exactly what you are talking about. Watching the tempo and practice everyday same stuff, [ I usually change my practice every month ] seems not much improvement but when I move to play or learn my favorites Songs , that's when magic happens....easier , faster. So yea ...I can see that to. Best wishes, stay motivated 🫵

2023-03-25 17:12:57 +0000 UTCSomething that helps me with motivation is knowing that the practice and "boring" stuff will make the play time more enjoyable. You will be able to do more things when it comes time to play and mess around. I'm not great at the guitar but I'm a good golfer and love to practice because I know it will pay off when I get to play. Sometimes the practice doesn't pay off for months so it can get hard to stay motivated to ingrain new habits. At this point I usually move on to something else and I find when I come back to it a month or so later I find out I did improve.

2023-03-20 17:51:53 +0000 UTCI needed this video. During COVID times when I was working from home I was able to practice 3 or 4 hours a day, but now going back into the office its much harder. I'm trying to learn production and drums right now as well and some days I'm just feeling really burnt out.

2023-02-14 17:18:03 +0000 UTCI loose my motivation easily as workouts are sometimes too challanging or too different to my taste of music. These could even ruin my motivation. Even if I decide to practice something, which i absolutely not like to play, this decision is not strong enough not to hate what I do :D :D :D but, I found these #guessthesongforabeer series funny, as I have never thought I can play songs like those, recorded at home in a quality like that (yes, i know, it is poor mastering, but wow man, it is me, the NothingMan and could play something which makes me smile. Also , the "collabs" we do is fun. Fun to organize, fun to participate... Maybe I wont be a better guitarist, but at least I enjoy it :D ...actually with Patrick I am just working on the next one :D which kills the time, and no chance to practice the hatred parts form the Academy :D. So I hope the social connection part of this group will be stronger and stronger and also we had chance to practice if we find something cool...

2023-02-14 15:31:42 +0000 UTCI just switched to left-hand guitar (the difference in my picking hand is night and day—I wish I’d started this way those [xx] years ago), and I’m feeling plenty motivated, but I’m sure that motivation will wear off at some point. This is great stuff to keep in mind. Also: “The Path” is fire.

2023-02-12 23:23:16 +0000 UTCThis is so awesome so much love for all my fellow shredders worldwide

2023-02-12 20:56:04 +0000 UTCWohoo! I made it into a berth video at 4:25. Now I'm really motivated!
michael Keane
2023-02-12 01:12:47 +0000 UTCI’m pretty motivated already, but I need to start posting progress videos in the VIP group so you all can keep me honest!
Michael McCarthy
2023-02-11 22:25:38 +0000 UTCIt was a great post Jaz. Thanks for being willing to share it in the VIP group. Without you sharing, we would not have got this video! You rock, man!🤘

2023-02-11 16:52:05 +0000 UTCThis video is too important to keep limited to members-only, IMHO. For the sake of all guitar players, you might consider letting go out to all of YouTube.🤘
Mark Sanders
2023-02-11 16:48:45 +0000 UTCNot everyone can achieve the greatest highs on playing guitar. That is just reality. I will continue playing, I will continue practicing. But well... everybody has his own limits. Nothing to be ashamed of, yet it can be a little frustrating of course.

2023-02-11 11:08:28 +0000 UTCJust a heads up, Manchester is the place to be in the UK it’s more central than London, everyone plays there , thanks again 👍

2023-02-11 07:33:25 +0000 UTCHello Anthony, yes we are probably booking London and there will be a clinic before every show :)

2023-02-11 01:35:17 +0000 UTCI had just left a comment on one of your videos yesterday about having discipline issues in myself. Talk about great timing

2023-02-11 00:16:14 +0000 UTC@bernth is the UK planned for the European tour? Be great for a meet and greet experience package 💪
Anthony
2023-02-10 20:54:11 +0000 UTCThis couldn't have come at a better time, thank you Bernth! P.S. we'd love to have you in Denver if you come to the US!!

2023-02-10 20:01:23 +0000 UTCBernth, you are a big part of my motivation ^^

2023-02-10 18:34:03 +0000 UTCI often think exactly same about myself. I´am practicing 2 hours every day but some things are not getting better. Maybe i`m not born to be a highspeed shredder ;)
Christopher Wegat
2023-02-10 17:54:16 +0000 UTCI love that this was because of me Thanks so much Bernth perfect timing as always
jaz
2023-02-10 17:31:15 +0000 UTCWell... motivation isn't my problem per se.... My problem is, I am losing a little motivation because of not really making any noticeable progress even after about 2 years of nearly consistently ~1 hour training sessions for 5 days (in the beginning even 6 day) a week. But that, I guess, isn't a problem anyone can solve. I truly believe I am kind of at my limits for playing guitar. I'm just not that talented - yeah and I know how that sounds ;) but I'm afraid, it's really the case.

2023-02-10 17:25:03 +0000 UTCListening to my favorite music always motivates me to pick up the guitar

2023-02-10 17:10:10 +0000 UTCI am kinda new to guitar and I'm starting with the #169 - Fretboard Mastery Online Course (Patreon Exclusive), I haven't lost my motivation yet but I know this video will help me when frustration arrives, thanks Bernth and nice to meet you all.

Jim Johnson
2023-02-10 15:52:24 +0000 UTCP.S.: There's a song about this topic coming on YouTube tomorrow called 'The Path' - I hope you will like it and that it will help with getting some practice motivation :)
