Practicing music should be about learning, growing, improving and of course having fun and this is not as easily achieved if you are shut in a room with your instrument all by yourself! To learn to play your instrument well it is best that you play along with backing tracks, as well as friends as this will teach you to play in time with the beat. Playing with other musicians will speed up your learning no end as there are areas that they can teach you and you will be able to improve on your weaker areas. It is also so much more fun and sociable and this way learning is made more fun and far less frustrating when you don’t understand something. Also you can help to teach others in areas where you are strong and they maybe weaker will make you feel confident and happy to have helped someone. The very best way to become great at guitar, or any instrument, is to join and play with other musicians; musicians who are better players who have more technical knowledge than you. Playing music with others will stretch you and make you play to the very best of your ability. It will also bring to light some of the areas that you need to work on and improve on. Other musicians that are better than you will inspire you to become as good as them and to work harder to achieve your goals. It is also great that when you have mastered something that you were stuck on before then it is great to hear the praise from the musicians around you who have taught you and are excited for you. You should also look to getting a music teacher that can help you to improve and get the basics as learning an instrument is not as easy as some people may think. You will discover new concepts from playing with other musicians and take new ideas from each of them as individuals with their own tastes in music and different genres. You will eventually form your own bespoke way of playing music and coming up with different ideas from all these inspiring people around you and most importantly, playing with other musicians will help you to become better, faster and will really drive you forward and get you to the stage you want to be in a far quicker time.
