In fact I think I face the same problem....but hey i thought I could share this website i came across its www.iperform3d.com. they ave a pretty neat gaming sort of website for beginner as well as intermediate guitarists. I tried the 5 day trial and have now bought one of the packages..(its pretty affordable). So theres this 3d animated guy with whom one plays and learns and there are these instructors (3d animated) who would give feedback to the way am performing. Its pretty neat...one should definitely try it out. I think i feel motivated to practice everyday bcz of the interactive nature of this iperform thingy and also its fun to learn in a game like environment.... Hey,

Good find, I enjoy David Russell's tips. Douglas neight also releases a <a href="http://www.douglasniedt.com/tetipofmo.html" rel="nofollow">monthly technique tip</a>. It's like when people ask me how to get better at reading notation. Simple: do it more. Careful thinking about the what you're doing combined with conscious, thoughtful repetition is the path the mastery. Great teachers can help in this regard, though. They've been there and can give you shortcuts around mistakes they've made. That's about the only shortcut I can think of. Also for me, weekly lessons keep me very much motivated to practice and play. Otherwise lessons are a waste of my and my teacher's time. -CD Sounds like you did some more thinking about our discussion on certain books!

Sometimes its me, sometimes its work commitments but there always seems to be something stopping me practice. Something needs to be done about this i feel. Great post however, very apt!
