Maintaining your interest whilst learning guitar

We all get frustrated/bored/ confused on our "guitar journey".
I can remember the temptation to throw a loved instrument across the room (Tip - don't do that!).
1. Teachers & lessons
If free You Tube videos give you all that you need, that's fine. I am concerned about how helpful a structured series of lessons built for everyone can be useful for all - as an online or face to face one-to-one teacher/mentor, I've discovered that everyone learns in their own way, and the teacher needs to work out the best way to guide a client to both determine what they want to achieve, and the best way for each client to learn. (It should also be fun!)
2. Review your music collection !
You personal choice very likely reflects the music that you would like to sing /play. Look/listen to some of favourite albums/artists. Find new inspirations.
3. Watch, listen, learn, and network !
Go out to open mics, music clubs etc. Watch what others are doing.
Find a good player, Talk to them about their music and maybe ask if they would teach you.
Is there someone at a similar level to you? If so, chat to them, perhaps suggest learning together
4. If all else fails - and online one to one appeals - mail me:
