Improve your guitar playing at live gigs

Some musicians secretly hate playing live gigs. Truth be told, most of them have a perfectly good reason for it. Most of them say they’re scared, and because of this, they make mistakes. But the thing is, every single guitar playing mistake is only due to ineffective or insufficient practice. This is better news than people realize since it means you can control how you improve your live playing skills. Here are some important tips you should know.

Reliability over perfection

Check your mindset. Don’t go for zero mistakes. Putting that much pressure on yourself can be disastrous to your playing. Even the greatest legends of guitar make mistakes playing live, but don’t use that as an excuse to play sloppily. Train yourself to play the best you can. However, also give yourself a break if and when you make mistakes. Don’t beat yourself, especially in the middle of a live performance. Strive for reliability, not perfection. Aim for consistency.

Ideal skill level vs. live playing skill level

The ideal and live playing skill levels are both abilities that guitar players need to keep in mind. Ideally, guitarists play their best when they’re concentrated, seated down, not distracted, and not cold, among other things. Live playing is quite different. Oftentimes, you have very little control of the conditions when performing live. Aim to bring both levels closer together.

How to increase your rate at mastering the guitar

There are ways to boost your rate of learning. Some call them tricks. Some call them shortcuts. But these are, in fact, smart actions that require some thought and preparation. When mastering the guitar, knowing the correct ways of going about it can pay off big-time. Below are some of the strategies.

Practice strategically

Practicing guitar strategically eliminates the pitfall of practicing for the sake of practicing. Practicing strategically lessens the chances of being overwhelmed and frustrated, and provides ways of measuring progress. Strategic practice also focuses on specific musical goals and filters the things you study, which is key.

Learn HOW to practice

Having the right strategy won’t do you any good if you practice mindlessly, or if you have no idea how to solve your problems, and have a faulty schedule. The quickest way to get over all these is to look for an effective guitar teacher, who knows how it’s done.

Balance out your guitar playing

Instead of spending time and effort on areas of guitar playing that you’re already good at, attack your weak points. If you’re already good at speed picking but are awful at playing odd time signatures, spend more time on the latter. Unbalanced practice makes for unbalanced playing.

Be aware of your bad playing habits

Being aware isn’t enough, though. Guitar players should both be aware of their bad playing habits, and they should also know how to fix them.
