RGS Live #23 | How To Keep Learning Guitar Fun

Hello everyone and welcome to the July episode of Real Guitar Live! In this episode Tomas and Aimee will discuss something all guitar players struggle with, which is how to keep the learning process fun and exciting.

You’ll hear some tips like using jam tracks and looper pedals, competing with yourself using short term goals and progress tracking, and playing with other people. We hope this episode will inspire you to try something new and celebrate your successes in your personal journey learning to play the guitar!

Questions Answered:

[17:57] I started the journey (of playing the guitar) the last days of January, and I still have fingertip pain in my left hand. Is it normal or maybe I am doing something wrong? In any case, what could I do to relieve the pain?

[38:55] I am still at the goal of getting my pinky to reach that 4th fret..been three weeks. I need a new pinky. 🙂 Have one of those in the store?  Do the thirty day challenges get harder each month because I am still working on the one from the first month I joined.

– Anne

[40:55] Bonjour du Québec. Nice subject. One challenge for me, I travel a lot. So I bought a guitalele that I carry as much as possible. But not always. Then I find it very hard to go back to my routine.
