Hey guys...
Looking back over the last two years, I felt that my guitar playing hasn't improved a lot since then. I am stuck at a skill level where I know all the important techniques, can play one or two more difficult solos after some practicing... but all in all it doesn't feel right. All the time when I'm watching videos of guys on the web that are so incredibly good, I'm kind of feeling like reaching a dead end. I simply don't know how to go on with my guitar practice.
It's pretty much all about speed and learning new licks now, but I don't seem to improve at all. In fact, the lack of improvement really pulls the motivation down little by little with every passing month. I tend to practice less and less each day. Sometimes I don't even practice for an entire week and just play a little bit for fun and nothing else.
Don't get me wrong... I love playing guitar, but I simply do not know what to do to finally get some sense of achievement again. :/
Can anyone give me any good hints what to do if you feel stuck in your skill level?
I'm mostly self-taught. Used to learn guitar through online lessons (Mostly justinguitar.net) and never took real guitar classes. I can't lose the feeling that when attending to real courses, it's all about milking some money out of my pocket and getting stuff shown I already know anyway. I know the theory... but my fingers simply refuse to move the way they should.
