I know there are a lot of people who just love walking into a guitar store and everything about the experience. For me however, there’s always been an element of anxiety to pulling a guitar off the wall (or even worse, having to ask an employee to do so for me!) and thinking of what to noodle on it. Even though I know no one is watching me or cares at all about what I’m playing, I feel self conscious and my mind tends to forget that I’ve ever played a guitar in my life. Through the years though, I’ve learned some techniques that have helped make this a more fun and less anxiety producing experience. Learn my top tips in this blog!

However, I have learned a few tricks to make sure I am regularly practicing and improving at guitar, even when I'm having trouble concentrating. I wanted to share them in this blog with you so l hopethat these help you!
