Discomfort

Sometimes when we play the guitar, there are certain parts that we consider difficult, and what we usually do is to avoid these “difficult” parts. Although it is an effective excuse not to make mistakes, this would actually halt your progress. Avoiding difficult spots in your guitar playing will not help you improve it. The only way to deal with this is to confront it. The more you confront it, the more you would get used to it. Besides, it is all about getting used to it. Want to memorize the scales? Get used to it. Give it a run every day until you get used to it. That is the most effective way of memorizing things, doing it over and over again until it becomes part of your system. Do you sometimes get surprised when you actually know the lyrics to an old song? That is because you have heard it over and over for a long time, maybe in your childhood. That pretty much works with guitar playing as well. That is why if you do routines, do it over and over again, you will get used to it, making it part of your system and eventually, you can do it effortlessly.
