Summary

Learning guitar in 2022 is no different than learning guitar in 2021. But you're different. Your life is different now. Your guitar journey is either developing or just getting starting. By following the 5 mantras in this episode, you'll prime yourself for consistent progress, fun, and focus on your guitar journey. I've had a rollercoaster of a year in 2021. But the thing that I kept the same was consistent progress in playing guitar. Even with a new child and all the pandemic-related disruptions, I made sure to play (almost) every single day. Because any amount of time playing guitar is better than no time playing guitar. So, after having a successful year teaching, learning, and sharing some of my insights, I've found 5 mantras that can help you on your guitar journey. Whether you're lost on the path to guitar geekdom or you just need a little inspiration, turn to these mantras. Let them guide you. Let yourself discover what you need to do on your guitar journey. The rest will follow. In addition to sharing these insights with you, I cant wait to show you the first Tuesday Guitar Lick Challenge of 2022. It's going to be a blast! I strongly encourage you to follow along, even if you aren't part of the TAC Family yet! Featured in this episode...- Mule Resonator Guitars - Driftwood Guitars - The North American Guitar
