Find inspiration, and once in a while take a break, dont constantly practice practice!. and what i mean for inspiration like a goal!. for instance mine is to play Dragon Force-through the fire and the flames!. trust me its impossible for me but i try anyways!. you can also practice with a friend even if they dont play the same instrument!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hi Rand

The guitar is a nice instrument!. What I would suggest it to try and play music that you like in-between courses or get The Beatles songbook!.

Classical gets boring but it doesn;t mean you have to stick to classic music!. I play pop on my classical and in the studio , I use my electric!.
That might be another option for you, get an electric guitar!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
